For real he could have been this show's max. The fact that one of the teenagers was just straight up a bad guy (no matter how bad he was at it) in an otherwise superhero family and they kinda just go "oh max he's just in one of those phases you know he'll snap out of it...at some point... probably." was what made the thunderman's funny to me. Anyways I think it would have been really interesting if Ernie had used his smarts to sabotage his sister to knock her down from her golden child status and then slowly evolved in to some kind of genius foe hacker who directly oposses the secret service his family is a part of. Especially if they made it obvious to the viewer but kept it a secret from the characters until a big reveal during a confrontation for a season finale or something.

@Buff Baby it would be better if things could work that way, but it's almost impossible for a parent not to have some level of preference toward one child or another. whether it's the kid who looks the most like you, the one who's the smartest, the one who shares most of your hobbies, the oldest child or the baby of the family. you can love all your children immensely, but you won't be able to love all of them equally 100% of the time, if ever. people who say they do are lying to protect your feelings. though having a favorite isn't inherently wrong. it's how parents showing their favortism that's an issue, because in doing so they'reu purposefully granting advantages to one child that are withhold from the other(s) which is unfair and abusive

WoWP gave each of the kids a different stereotype. The rebel, The brain, and the dumb one. Max being the but of jokes mostly revolves around him being the dumb one and hence the comic relief. He also has less substance to his character to focus a story on. In WoWP he is not intentionally the least liked of the group. Kcuc apparently made the little brother being unloved a running gag which I dont think any other Disney show did.

But there were people who didn't like that she had increased the amount of movies Disney Channel was making and decreased the amount tv shows. Disney Channel is definitely different now. They got rid of the the Disney Channel related commercials about upcoming tv episodes, music videos, and upcoming movies. And now they have regular commercials like Geico on Disney Channel.

She got away with it and got to go to Stanford University while Ernie was just the so called tech/nerd guy I wanted him to find his voice and finally leave his family for good.

Does anybody else dislike the "Revenge of the Van People" episode? Agent Johnson yells at Ernie because him and his van squad screwed up Brady's mission. Well, ex-CUSE me, Ernie and his van squad managed to take down the system the Alternate used. And all Brady did was give intel to the Organization. So, in that way, Ernie and his van squad ended up being the real heroes. Plus, I don't like how they turned Brady. He didn't do anything to be worthy of his second chance. However, I enjoyed this show but also found it a little shaky. I'd say 7/10.
