Disney has made some good sitcoms, and some bad ones. But never have I seen a sitcom like this before. Backstage is about these teens who have talent, dealing with the pressure that's put on them in school by teacher's and students. But Degrassi has a almost similar plot. They always have problems at school, home, drugs, sexuality Etc. I never really heard of the show ( probably because of the viewer ratings? ) but trying to compete with there version of drama, and nickelodeons version wouldn't be easy. Disney always want's to make there TV shows "Family friendly" but end up making annoying ones that kids at the age of 6-14 won't bother watching. I'm not saying the show is bad, but the drama doesn't grab viewers attention when the director was attending to. Maybe the writers just forgot what drama was like for them when they where teens. Just watching a clip from YouTube made me incurious from watching another one. They mostly just have really boring arguments that again doesn't appeal to anyone. If your looking for a decent drama that's more for teens, skip this show. If your looking for a family friendly drama you've found the right show.
