This show isn't TERRIBLE, but it seems like it copies most of the sitcoms that have been popular lately.
The fact that the four main characters are all quadruplets is unique, I guess, and it's easy to pick a favorite (Nicky, of course B))
Nickelodeon is still the worst kids' channel on television, with Disney close behind. But their shows have improved a TINY bit since Breadwinners. Maybe TV is making a comeback.
Anyway, back to the show. The characters are quirky, and the teacher is HILARIOUS. It's a show that appeals to both boys AND girls, which isn't something that you see a lot nowadays (most TV sitcoms nowadays are geared towards girls) and it's not painfully bad like The Thundermans.
Overall, I'd say this show is somewhat worth watching.

I like the show! I put it on when I am chilling in bed! But, the kids are pretty annoying and kind of ruin the show. They never learn their lessons and never get punished. The Quads could murder someone and not get in trouble! They are terrible at lying yet everybody falls for their lies. Dicky used to be my favorite character until I found out about the actor that plays him. Mace Cornel (Dicky) and Casey Simpson (Ricky) were bullying Lizzy Greene (Dawn) to the point where she started crying between scenes. I like Anne and Nicky the best. I don't like Tom because he is unsupportive of his wife. He is also annoying and always acts like a child. It's a good show! It just has a lot of plot holes.

This show is an abomination to children's television. Kids are not dumb, they would know when something is funny, without the GOD AWFUL repetitive laugh track. Often, I'll find my younger siblings watching it, and even they admit that the show lacks any chance at being interesting. The whole show is just children acting unnaturally in situations, trying to be funny. Producers and script writers need to understand that a kids show isn't just throwing a bunch of poop jokes into thirty minutes, while having a stupid laugh track play after said jokes. A lot of children like other shows because A) There's an actual plot, B) It uses real-life problems, and C) The jokes are ACTUALLY funny. A good example of an amazing children's show is Gravity Falls. Although its about kids going after monsters and other threats, it's vastly entertaining. Overall, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn is complete garbage, and if you are going to let your kids watch a decent show, it should NOT be this one.
And don't even get me started on the annoying parents in the show, with their bad actors. MY GOD.

When this first came out, I used to threaten to turn it on. Once we started to actually watch it, it's now my favorite show on Nickleodeon (far and away the funniest, though "Henry Danger" is very funny too). The episode where they went to camp is as goofy as the best Batman episodes from the sixties (like when they ordered milk at the bar), and the one where RIcky (?) becomes a FaceChat superstar is hilarious too. My current night is built around waiting for what I think is the first episode without Dicky in it. Previews look silly; I am sure it'll be fun.

I am well above the target age for "Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn" but sometimes it's nice to watch a show that requires little thought, easy and lazy viewing for adults! The show revolves ten-year-old quadruplets made up of three boys Nicky, Ricky and Dicky with their sister Dawn (as yet, it's not been addressed whether Ricky and Dicky are both called 'Richard' and why not use 'Micky/Michael' instead of 'Dicky') and the children's harassed parents.
The show is surprisingly funny, even for those of us who have passed high school, and the kids are adorable, even if they don't look anything at all alike. My other lazy kiddie show at the moment is 'Girl Meets World' but I prefer this as the kids are more likable and they also look and act like ten-year-olds and gives the audience a soft spot for them. In GMW, some of the 'pre-teens' look almost ready for uni and the girls dress like they're on the catwalk instead of off to school.
"Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn" is definitely a nice wee show that can be enjoyed by children and their parents without the adults wanting to peel their eyeballs out in boredom!

This show is so predictable and I feel it copies off of other Disney shows. The show gets boring after a while, they mess up and fight and then make up at the end. It happens in every episode. This show is supposed to be about family, but sometimes I think that they hate each other. This show is a rip off and is a very stupid show.
The acting is great, the lines are said well and can get a laugh from me! I really love dawns character (the oldest one).She's like this mix between tomboy/girlygirl. Dawn is going through the stage where she wants to fit in and be cool, and make friends. There is a consistent rivalry for the leader spot of the quads between her and Ricky. Ricky is the second oldest and the smart nerd type of the group. He seems to always be doing his homework or reading a book. He seems to be a bit of a goody goody but always seems to get in trouble with them. Dicky is the cool one of the group. He dosen't seem to care that much about school and seems to care more about girls. He cares a lot about the way he looks and is always trying to break the rules. Nicky is the youngest out of the group, and seems to be the likable character. He has a quirky personality and seems to be very comedic. The jokes are great and pretty funny and so is the acting,although the parents can get a little annoying at times (mostly the dad). All in all the show is a great family show and fun to watch! I think nickelodeon has finally got a hit show, that's not BORING to watch. I would so recommend this!

Exactly what you would expect from a Nickelodeon show. This show is light and fun and overall great. Not as good as other Nickelodeon shows but still good.

Also a side note, these kids dont even look like they could be cousins, let alone quadrouplets. You couldnt have gotten a set of real quadrouplets to play your main leads? I mean acting clearly isnt a priority in the casting department here so i cant see any excuse for that.

There's nothing to say about this show it's just trash. Although not as bad as... who am I kidding this show is probably one of the worst shows on any kids TV show providers. It has terrible plots and overall doesn't make sense. So please just bring back the good nick shows. Make nick actually good again😅

If people say they hate children's television, this is what they're talking about. Too much verbal agressions and bad role models. Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn whine about everything. You may not think it would be impossible for your kid to get even whinier, but if they have Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn for models, all bets are off. Their saccharine Nickelodeon show is stuffed with adults pretending to be children, complete with a steady diet of giggles, and their parents Anne and Tom try their hardest to tie it all together. The annoying theme song sounds more like fingernails scratching on a blackboard. For those looking for better shows, head on over to PBS Kids and go watch "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" instead. It's way better than the Quad Squad. This show was thankfully taken off in 2018. I recommend you keep your kids far far away from this show as possible, I'll thank you later!
When this show came out i was 14, but i was into show more like iCarly and Victorious and by S2 i was starting to grow of kids shows.
Now, didn't know getting in this that I'll recognize all the main cast except for one.
The show starts for the regular 9/10 years old same as the young actors, the jokes didn't hit me immediately but did for my sister and starts to progress with time and each season. Starts really innocent, a little bit of cringe and not that good acting. But I was keeping in my mind that these are 9/10 years old actors in their first big thing.
Then the show start to progress as the kids grew up, season 2 & 3 are our favorites. The kids, the jokes and the plot lines were more relatable for my sister and me at that age. The only weird thing I noticed is how long took them to shoot season 2 and it was obvious as the kids looked really grown by the end of the season and specially the beginning of season 3, like damn the pubirty hit them hard. And season 4 was obvious that is had problems related for behind the scene drama, but again a relatable stories (Kinda).
Our favorite episodes each season were S1 the Christmas episode, S2 the mall episode, S3 the YOCO and S4 the social media episode.
Didn't knowing that I'll see little Aidan, Lizzy and Mace in this, they grew so much as actors. **My favorite from the start was Ricky because i was like him in his age, and he was the best from the 4 in my opinion from acting wise and he just was improving more and more by the end, it's unfortunate that the actor not acting an more (I think?), he was really good for his age.
**For Aidan knowing him from umbrella academy, didn't believe that I'm watching the same actor, he improve SO much, specially after re-watching all the umbrella academy. In the beginning his character didn't have much story and it really improved, and he was kinda over acting till the season 2, good thing he stopped that (still cant believe that he starts in the umbrella academy right after this ).
**Lizzy, to be honest she was the worst and so cringe in S1 and till the middle of S2, first of all she grew up beautifully, second of all she became a really better actress specially knowing here from A million little things.
**Mace only saw him in That '90s show, his character the same as that, like if Dicky just grew up and suddenly living in the 90's. From the beginning i don't think that 9 yrs old kid will be that interested in the girls, but what do i know, and i understand why the character ends-up leaving.
In short, the parents a scene stallers, most of the time ( Brian from the suite live on Disney and Alisson from that '7.s show.
Just one thing in the end, is even if Dicky ends-upleaving at least 2-4 episodes to finish the series in a good note.

- Generic Plots (Always has to be stuff related to family things/Getting in trouble for something they didn't do/Fighting with another family for some petty reason)
- Predictable Endings (They learn a "valuable lesson" and make up, only to then mess up in the next episode/a few minutes later)
- Horrible Humor (Toilet Humor)
- Stupid Obnoxious Acting (The Parents are childish, and the children don't look like children)
- That Stupid Freaking Laugh Track. (...Need I say more?)
Just... do not watch it.

We stumbled upon this show on Netflix and my 5 year old watched the whole series over and over again. The thing this show has that is lacking elsewhere is decent plot and story. There are archs and storylines that actually make sense and my son started to see what a real story even is. When YouTube and Tik tok is trying to convince kids to be stimulated for 5 seconds and move on, this show keeps a kids attention and I enjoy watching it along side. The dad Tom is enough of a goofball that you can find humor in it as a parent. It's honestly just nice seeing a kids show where they aren't doing political things.

Terrible about sums up this show. It's corny, cheesy, and predictable. It's also over acted and very clearly a rip off of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, just with quads instead of twins. Nicky is the worst. He's annoying, not funny, and a terrible actor. Then there's Dicky. The name says it all. Who in their right minds would name their kid Dicky? LOL!! Then there's the nerd and the perfect one. The parents are not much better than the kids. Only watch this show if you want to kill your brain cells! I gave this show a 1, but it really makes me wish that it was possible to give a negative rating. Hoping that this show ends after this season, 2 seasons are more than enough for this garbage!!

I found this on Netflix a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Amazing show for the whole family! My favorite episodes are Quad-court, Harpers for President, Quad-Sled, Go Hollywood, M. D Day, It's a Hard Knocks Life, Etc! I would definitely recommend.

I may buy all the seasons on DVD so I can put them in a garbage can under a bridge where they will undoubtedly be used as the sad plastic fuel in some hobos nightly trash can fire. Pathetic excuse for entertainment. Like most of the TV shows that make their way to the bottom of the barrel (YTV) it just makes me scratch my head and reflect on the unsettling state of the general population. I can't think of a single redeeming factor other than the fact that this show will eventually fade into obscurity along with all the other crap that came before it.
Long story short: Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn is terrible and everyone involved with that show should be shot out of a cannon into outer space, preferably a dangerous black hole laden area in outer space.

My daughter is 13 and I consider myself as an expert on child shows, watching them over and over again. Sometimes you have to set your mind to: not thinking, just to bare it all.
But this show is very bad and annoying. And cant even read other peoples comments on this show because I see images of the show flashing into my head and it is just unbearable. When my daughter wants to watch it I behave like a soldier and watch it with her. She does not now I hate it.

My children will not be watching Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn anymore. I am completely disappointed with the liberal message you are trying to push on my children. The episode with building the wall to prevent ice dancing is liberal propaganda. We have watched for years and really liked the show not anymore. I will also be spreading the word on social media. I hope the show gets boycotted. You need to leave children programming out of politics. Maybe you should get new writers that can make the episodes on real lessons kids need to learn like kindness, cooperation, problem solving, fights with their best friends. This episode is in bad taste. This show use to be one I felt happy to watch and laugh with my children no more
