I haven't watched the show FRED on Nick, (I think)..but I've seen the commercials and I have to say...what the....

There is a lot of great television out there for kids and of course the mind numbing stuff too that is a waste of electricity and airspace...but this one seems to take the cake.

Have you seen it-do you know what i'm talking about? Am I missing something?

I know I'm old(er), but I think I remember what kind of shows I liked as a kid and some were just nonsense and fun...but a teenager with a squeky voice and suspenders and a dorky smile and no substance...can someone explain the allure of this one to me?

What can I do next?

I am not a violent person.

I do, however, want to punch Fred's teeth down the back of this throat so he chokes on his own blood.

True story.

My kid's have watched the movie, my daughter (13) and my son (9), i think it is annoying the way he talks and acts! I make my kids change the channel when any of the "Fred" shows come on! I wish they offered better shows on Nick and Disney, it has all changed for the worse!

Oh, I sooo dislike Fred.

He had a movie a while back on Nick, that my son made me watch with him - the fact that Fred has a show now is just frightening. Thank goodness my son now thinks it is a waste of air space also.

answers from Houston on

Fred is a guy who started his own youtube channel. The movies he made are pretty terrible, I much prefer his youtube stuff b/c it is hilarious and relatively clean and in small doses. I haven't seen his tv show, but way to go for a young teenager to make his own brand! He did it all on his own in his free time. The stuff he did in the beginning when he was younger is the best. Obviously, it's meant for a younger audience.

I know what you're talking. I've had the pleasure (not) of watching it a few times and all I can say is "WOW". Not sure why it's even on the air. It is the worst show I think I've ever seen.

I have watched it a time or two. My 12 year old likes it sometimes. My 7 year old doesn't really pay much attention to it. It personally grates on my nerves ! He just irritates the crud out of me. But I haven't seen anything really wrong with it.

FRED... I know what you are talking about, don't get it either... I think it has to do with his voice and how fast he talks and how stupid he acts... My kids liked him about 2 years ago, when they were in middle school, now that they are in high school they say he's lame...

Fred is just hyper and Free Spirited. As Lady Gaga says he was "Born this Way" I think people see him as both funny and annoying.... I don't think there should be a show about this kid in my opinion.

I personally don't let my daughter watch that type of show. And I am only 25 and the shows I had as a child are much different that the shows kids have available to them.

I don't like many of the shows on tv for kids now. So I keep my kiddo busy and limit her tv time which she doesn't seem to mind as long as I keep her engaged.

Fred started out as a character on the iCarly show. My daughter watched iCarly, which I liked, and I hated episodes with Fred.
She told me that Fred has his own show now. I haven't see it yet.
She's 9. And she thinks it's the stupidest thing ever! LOL

My kids like it. I have seen it and it is actually pretty funny. His voice does grate on my nerves after a bit but his expressions are hysterical.
