Saw this show for the first time tonight and must admit it did make me laugh several times while watching. Sure it is a bit on the silly side airing on the Disney Channel or Disney XD and the characters are a bit over the top. But really aren't all the characters in sitcoms over the top? Really the show is no more ridiculous than 2 1/2 men or the like and certainly less idiotic than Family Guy and the like.

What it does offer is a show kids can watch and laugh at some of the really dumb stuff and older viewers can watch and enjoy with out a 30 minute stream of sex jokes and offensive humour. One episode I saw had a good deal of semi dark humour as a girls dad/ record producer was having a funeral for her cat "Hip Hop". The band members thought the producer was saying the music style was dead and they were there to celebrate and say how happy they were Hip Hop was dead. Throw in a missing dead cat and some serving trays and I thought it was the funniest funeral since Mary Tyler Moore.

Don't let the "kids Show" label dissuade you from giving this show a look.

I don't understand how some people are talking about it being totally unrealistic and then they start bringing up Hannah Montanah. Talk about unrealistic. First of all, it's nothing alike (This is funny, that sucks), but second of all, I don't really see the big deal here. It's a Disney show. It's meant for kids. Why should it be realistic? It's a lot better than a lot of other kids' shows I've seen (Hannah Montanah, Zack & Cody, iCarly etc)

That said, I just think it's a really funny show. I'm 17 years old right now and I just about cried because I was laughing so loud. It's not some stupid show just for kids, it's really funny. Yeah, some of the jokes are a bit lame, but that all depends on what you like. I think it's great. The characters are really funny, with the three dumb (well, two dumb and one even dumber) rockers and the one smart teenager. The jokes might be a bit easy, but they're just so random that I can't stop laughing about it.

So, taken all that into account, I think this show is great! I wouldn't mind watching it again.

I remember when this show first aired. I think I even watched the premiere. Looking back, this show was... questionable.

With a premise similar to Spinal Tap or Popstar, it follows a fictional band. The catch... they're washed up and living in a van with a random family.

One of the band members (played by Steve Valentine, remember that name for future reference) was an Ozzy-type figure. One of the other characters is reminiscent of Kramer, but without the racism.

The only problem I have with this show is that it doesn't show the band snorting comically large piles of coke. You can't have a show about a hair metal band without large amounts of nose candy.

I'm an online TV critic and "I'm in the Band" is the funniest show I've seen in years. It made my son and daughter laugh out loud so hard we had to pause the show multiple times just so they could hear the next joke. And let me tell you -- that's rare.

I watch shows with them on Nickelodeon (iCarly), Cartoon Network (Ben 10), Disney Channel (Wizards, Hannah, Suite Life), Disney XD (Phineas & Ferb, Zeke & Luther) but "I'm in the Band" is easily their favorite, and has quickly become mine too. It's not trying to be a show for kids. It's smart, funny and outrageous while still managing to be a cool show that adults can enjoy as well.

Derek, Burger and Ash play that smart/dumb rocker comedy *perfectly* as the once famous rock band Iron Weasel, and Tripp is so much fun to watch, as is his best friend Izzy. I'm sure both will become huge stars overnight. Really fantastic acting on this show with high caliber talent.

Sure, there are fart jokes, but at least they are witty and hilarious fart jokes. A lot of shows talk down to kids and offer simple stories we've seen a hundred times with a bunch of puns but "I'm in the Band" is written so well, perfectly blending outrageous physical comedy and great jokes while still managing to be smart and original.

This show is Spinal Tap for a new generation, and my kids and their friends can't stop talking about it. I'm not a betting person, but I'll bet "I'm in the Band" is sure to be a hit for Disney XD. Finally, a show I'm happy to watch with my kids and their friends week after week.

THIS SHOW IS GOLD! It's better than all the other Disney crap they show (Fanny Montana, Wizards of Waverly Losers, Jonas, etc) The humor is fresh, the actors are actually extremely better than the actors on Disney Channel. Really a great show. I'm am so glad I found a astonishing comedy. (After Drake and Josh lost touch)

So ignore all those haters, because they are obviously brainwashed by todays music, and never knew how great Heavy Metal was. And, the name of the band in this show is absolutely funny. "Iron Weasel." Spoof for "Iron Maiden." Gradually a show that needs to obtain an orange blimp on The Kids Choice Awards.

10/10

Saw this when I was in elementary school, my favorite episodes from the series were annoying Arlene & where they called Charles "Chuckie". Sad why this show ended and got cancelled. This show also needs to be on Disney+ and have a DVD release, there's really no where to watch this show anymore other than to watch it on random free online movie websites or to buy the series on the iTunes Store. Disney, please put this show on Disney+ and release a dvd for this show. I have to admit, this show is kinda like watching drake and josh. With they did more I'm in the band episodes if they didn't end it.

This is Hanna Montana except with a rock band, this is a piece of junk from the people and the company brought us that terrible show, A Teen wants to revive a rock band called Iron Weasel to make them become famous again, good grief, this show is just junk throughout, the performances are really bad, two completely wasted talents (Greg Baker & Steve Valentine)who been so good in other TV shows in the late 90 and early 2000's, blandy, unfunny subplots, terrible episodes and dull teleplay, this show is not only a disgrace to the true nature of metal scene, but music as a whole, this is just truly shameful, this piece of trash is top of the heap, hapless garbage and it's a shame that crap like this is still on, this is just like the crappy reality shows and other trends, all style and certainly no substance and we haters hate this one, because it's a disgrace, this is really the top candidate for the worst TV show of 2010 and it shows how television has really gone to crap after this.

This is trendy, state of the art, hopeless enterprise.

If you want better TV shows from Greg baker and Steve valentine, I Suggest you watch Sports Night on DVD and Crossing Jordan.

This is possibly the worst show associated with music since homeboys from outer space.

Truly Hopeless.

I loved this show when i was younger and i still love it with it's silly not over exaggerated humour makes it very good to watch it did not get old quick .

The music was actually good unlike other disney shows about musicians which most songs can be cheesy but iron weasel are probably the best fictional band very good my favourite song are geasers rock, band van, rock hard or go home, face down in a plate of nachos, weasel rock you the one from the sweet life on deak crossover can't remember the name actually i'd say there isn't an iron weasel song i don't like. Most recommended to metal fans.

I am a grown up and a rock fan, and I absolutely love this show. If you are a teenager, you will love it, if you are interested in comedies about the rock business (realistic or not is not the question, how realistic was Spinal Tap? And , yet, it was great, 11 stars ;-) ) or into rock music (cause the music is not bad at all!!), you will love it. In a world with a lot of hatred, discrimination, and, not too forget, Rap and Hiphop (loved the 6th episode!), it is great to have a nice, fair show about rock where the only offense (if at all) is directed towards the characters themselves, which are all so lovable, that you don't mind them being a bit cliched (yes, show for kids) and simple-minded. And in contrast to other kids' shows, there are not the usual,flat 'dumb grown-ups' jokes where the teachers and parents (over-re-)act like complete idiots and not in the least with the same charm or originality like Ash. Anyway, the stories are fun and inoffensive, it is realtively original, the music is great, and the lyrics even better (come on, Face down in a plate of Nachos is fabulous - lyrics, music and the performance - instant classic). I will never understand how shows like this one (and Grandfathered and Grinder) get axed while a dull show like Young Sheldon (which is nothing like Big Bang Theory or even Sheldon IN TBBT) or even worse shows get fulsome praise... A shame there is only two seasons of this great, great, funny, creative rock show.
