Andi Mack and Stuck in the Middle are definitely upgrades over some of the dreck that Disney has been shoveling out in recent years . Anyone remember " I Didn't Do It " or similar uninspired garbage ? Creatively , most of their line-up was cookie-cutter jokes and cliched boring characters .
Andi Mack is different and a breath of fresh air . Most of it feels relatively real , and isn't talking down to kids . If Disney never did another sitcom on a set with canned laughter , I wouldn't complain . The actress playing Andi Mack is great , very likable , as is the actress playing her Mom . Most of the adult supporting cast is very good also . So why doesn't this show get the full 10 Stars ?
The subplot of the gay character and his crush seems very forced and unrealistic . They both came across as gay from Day 1 , which makes the girls ( Andi is one ) crushing on them feel weird and false . They don't notice everything the audience sees ? While the message of everyone accepting everyone for who they are isn't a bad thing - it's being handled a little heavy-handed here .
