    Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

    This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

    A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

    Oh. My. God. Just when I thought kids' TV could not sink any lower, somebody at Nickelodeon had the idea to air this utter drivel. An open letter to Nickelodeon should start with this, "Who decided to conceive this televisual monstrosity? And WHY?" I get that you shouldn't hide who you truly are, but Fred...OMG he acts like a deranged five-year-old and his voice is like a cross between a screaming banshee and Michael Jackson if someone kicked him in the crotch. All I can say is, "Thank god, this was cancelled and Lucas Cruikshank left Nickelodeon after this and Marvin Marvin, another televisual train wreck".

    This is a great example of why things that you see on the internet, can't be translated into 15 minute TV episodes consisting of 24 episodes. I've been forced to sit through FRED: the show with my little cousin who watches it and likes it for some reason. I didn't know at the time that the show was based on the web series FRED because I never heard of it, so I checked the web series out as I was curious. The web series consists of around 5 min short clips of the character FRED, played by Lucas Cruikshank. I also don't find the web series funny but I found it more bearable than the show as the web episodes are just 5 mins.I've gone way too much into describing the background of FRED, what's the show like. The show is what it is, a 15 minute version of the 5 minute web episodes. The show suffers from the same problem the web series does, it doesn't even try to be funny and because it's not funny and puts this annoying character in front of you, you will find the show annoying and unfunny. It's the same reason why I hate the Annoying Orange as well (which is another show my little cousin has forced me to watch.) If something sort of works on YouTube (and I literally mean it just sort of works) then it is common sense that it will not work for television and FRED: the show is the testament to that. I can't think of one memorable moment from the whole show. So let's do a bit of math. Each episode is 15 minutes long, there are 24 episodes = 6 hours of my life I will never get back. The things that are going on throughout the show don't make any sense at all. I can't tell whether they're trying to be realistic or fictional as it's somewhere in between. One minute it's following the laws of physics, next thing FRED makes a love potion which doesn't exist. That's a great message to send out to the kids isn't it? "Can't find love kids? Just make a magic love potion, no need to go through that stage in life known as dating and getting to know someone, just get a love potion, FRED seal of approval (and the Mellow seal of disapproval.) It also baffles me as to why they made this show, as they already made 2 movies based on this character and they both failed critically and financially, so why did they think a TV show would work? Just leave this "thing" on the internet where it belongs and leave it on the internet.

    A freak with a falsetto voice running around acting stupid, come on. After watching three episodes I still cannot say exactly what the show is about and I found that I was looking forward to the commercials and the sweet release of the end credits. I don't know what they were taking at Nickelodeon when they decided to put this show on TV but I want some. Instead of airing episodes of Fred they should just send out whatever it is they are taking so we all feel good. I understand that Fred was a YouTube Star. Perhaps Fred should return to the internet and Nickelodeon should find some shows that appeal to the entire family. Nickelodeon said they were looking into why Disney beat them in the ratings; the answer is "FRED".

    I wish I could give this show a zero. It is really not worth watching. I enjoyed "Fred" as a YouTube bit, some of them were funny and others not so much - but who cared it was a YouTube series. Until nowIt was just tonight that I was babysitting and found out that it is a television show. I was curious so I thought I would actually sit with my cousins and watch it. After I sat there wondering WHY!?! It is awful, really terrible. The acting is poor and the writing cheesy. I remember the good old 90's when television programs appealed to both children and adults. I'm disappointed with nickelodeon and their new assembly line of hot garbage they call a lineup. Fred just go back to YouTube, nickelodeon is ruining the funny web series you had started a couple years back.
