    Below average sitcom, but not terrible

    True Jackson VP is a show with an oddball plot and even odder characters. The show is funny at times, but isn't funny enough to satisfy most. Another Nickelodeon attempt at comedy, but mostly the show just ain't that funny!

    True Jackson is about a 15 year old girl with the same name who gets chosen to become a vice president of a major fashion label called Mad Styles. True Jackson is the protagonist and the best character on the show. She always does the right thing, and never gets (too) angry. Set in New York, True has to deal with her REALLY high maintenance co-worker Amanda Cantwell, a woman who isn't too thrilled about having to work with True, a 15 year old girl. Amanda is extremely sarcastic and talkative, and a total suck-up to the boss. She would probably jump off a building for him! Then there's True's bubble-headed friends, Lulu and Ryan. Lulu's an average girly girl, not the brightest girl, but she's sort of smart in her own way. Then there's Ryan, a total idiot who is a HORRIBLE character inside out! HE gives the show its poor image, people. Max Madigan is the boss of Mad Styles, and sort of an airhead who can still do his job. Then there's Oscar, the odd male secretary, and Jimmy, the mail carrier who is literally obsessed with his work.

    This show I wouldn't really recommend if you have high expectations. The characters are annoying (True isn't), and the plot is silly. A 15 year old girl becoming vice president of a New York fashion label? That doesn't happen in real life. Skip this show and see something better.

    10/10!

    The nostalgia, oh my Gosh! I don't know why this show isn't more popular, it's really fun!

    This show grew on me:-)

    When i first saw this show i too thought, like so many others, it was going to be really lame. First of all i'm from Europe: i didn't know Keke Palmer. After watching a few episodes this show grew on me.

    Like many have already said the cast has great chemistry. The writing isn't always "outstanding":quite an overstatement there lol! But what keeps it together, for me, is this wonderful talented cast.

    When i look back at Kenan an Kell or a corny show like Saved by the bell (yes i'm from that time period and yes i loved it!) what was it really about? The stories at times (or most times) were not that good: It was meant to make you laugh, and laugh i did!!

    So I do agree the writing needs to improve when it comes to the jokes/storyline. But i don't think that this show is really THAT bad in comparison to other shows (i-carly,big time rush,sonny with a chance).

    Conclusion this show (for me) does what it's supposed to do: have children/families enjoy themselves for thirty minutes or so nothing more nothing less!

    Fun, Cute, and Witty

    I really enjoyed this show. It's shows kids being kids and that working in an office is often no different from high school. The cute and witty humor and fun personalities kept me watching til the end.

    Good memories from Nick At Night

    I used to watch this at night on Nickelodeon in Brazil, when I watch I just can feel at home and as a kid again, getting comfortable in bed after a long day. It used to be aired with Kennan & Kel. When I was a kid these shows were cancelled already. So I could watch some old shows. True Jackson is a cool sitcom, not the best from Nicki but very stable and cool to watch and with no Nickelodeon drama around. It's like a safe show to watch.

    Unfortunately it's like I'm the only one who remembers and still cares about this show. But anyways if you're thinking about to watch I really recommend it. Just don't expect crazy stuff like Icarly, more like a grown up sitcom.

    • Trivia
      True Jackson's catchphrase, "You said what now?!" comes from when Keke Palmer was told the news of her casting. She couldn't believe it, and told the producers, "You said what now?!" The producers loved it so much, they made it her character's catchphrase.
