Reception

Emily Ashby from Commonsensemedia.org gave the show 3 stars and said that "Nick Cannon's mild sketch comedy will entertain kids," and that it "makes the most of clever writing and a well-rounded cast."[6] However the show was met with mostly negative reviews. IMDb currently holds a rating of 3.8/10. The low reception later led to the cancellation of the show.
