Sonny with a Chance Premieres on Disney Channel Tomorrow
Tomorrow, February 8, 2009, the newest Disney Channel show premieres at 8pm Eastern/Pacific (perhaps some other time based on your location and television provider, as for me it first airs at 6pm on Direct TV 290). The show premieres with two episodes in a row with the “Sketchy Beginnings” episode first and then the “West Coast Story” episode. The show is about Sonny, a girl from Green Bay, Wisonsin, being discovered to star in a show called So Random! (sounds somewhat like All That) when the producer sees her homemade comedy sketch videos online (sounds iCarly-esque). The show seems kind of like a mix of iCarly and Hannah Montana and potentially will interest tween girls, but I am not so sure about it. It just seems that Disney is becoming very girly and while I do admit to still liking Hannah Montana somewhat, so much of the channel is too girl drama oriented. I have a feeling this show will be more comedy drama and closer to the Zach and Cody series than iCarly and Hannah Montana. However, it does seem that the main drama is between Sonny and a co-star Tawni, who sees Sonny as a threat to her career. There also seems to be show rivalry between So Random! and MacKenzi Falls, which is a teen drama that films next to So Random!.
I think this show will be okay as far as the parts about them making the show and the rival dramas. However, I am not into comedy sketch stuff at all and the show So Random! is supposed to be a show inside of the show, so we shall see how big a part this plays and if it turns me off from liking it overall.
