Very self aware...and clever
Resi-Novak14 November 2010
This show has always been funny, clever and great for the whole family. But it is a show that is also very self aware. The show keeps us and our kids laughing with the classic comedy we've grown to love since the years of Full House, but it also will take shots at itself. The series pokes fun at its overall premise of Wizards and magic while still being fun. This particular episode even made reference to the old saying, "Jumping the shark" (When a TV show runs out of original material and makes a desperate attempt to stay fresh) Alex, the main character says, "I got you here by saying Lady Gaga would be on a motorcycle jumping a shark tank". This was clearly an easter egg for the older crowd.

Not many great family sitcoms out there, but this is definitely a diamond in the rough.
