Fifteen-year-old girls may guess vulnerable about a lot of things, but wear aren't one of them. So when the weirdo vanguard of Mad Fashions offers the lass selling sandwiches external his department a mission as vice president of his youth clothes division, she's like, "Awesome!" That's where this imaginative sitcom picks up, with True Jackson () blithely bewitching over her unfledged function amid highly disapproving looks from longtime Mad Fashions workers who think about fashions should be designed for teens, not by them. In other words, offer hospitality to the most recent generational sitcom, and the darts flit in both directions. After True's best room-mate and sidekick Lulu () runs into the specially exasperated Amanda (), Lulu casually remarks, "She's so old! It's adore Veterans Day here!" As weeks go by, True all things considered will be interacting with all the tensely insult and fool characters in the shape biz, from supermodels to style divas. But the crack happening focuses on Palmer, best known as the junior spelling whiz in "Akeelah and the Bee.
" She also wrote and sings the "True Jackson" composition song, and positively Nickelodeon would swain for this show to validate her as a major tween star. So even though the show is set in the full-grown world, or a sitcom interpretation of the adult world, it follows all the accepted guidelines for successful tween shows. It revolves around clean-cut, likable characters who froth over with enthusiasm and spirit, yet at the same hour keep their cool teenage personalities.
They utter in "teen" and almost the total they say is either droll or witty. While the show isn't aimed at parents or adults, that demographic will determine to be it entertaining, amusing and most of all reassuring. These kids may dash a few wisecracks at the grownups, but at the end of the day, they're as unhurt and punctilious as kids in 1950s sitcoms.
So even though some chin-wag shares DNA with the chaff in "," "True Jackson" is set in a bailiwick as stiff from "GG" or "90210" as a porterhouse steak is from a tofu burger. "True Jackson" indubitably shares a bigger chunk of DNA with "": a escort personality who often becomes a objective of vulnerable or insensitive co-workers, but never lets it get her down. In True's case, of course, it helps that the imbecile entourage possessor Max () is on her side.
When Amanda looks at one of True's suggestions and dryly remarks that she didn't dream Mad Fashions should be deceitful for "clowns and leprechauns," Max ignores her and sticks with True's instinct. As almost an casual bonus, "True Jackson" also tosses in some smart pasquinade on the the rage biz itself. It's not profound, but at its best moments, it's chichi and fun.
