And you are LEAGUES correct Alex - 11:23 - they grew up gracefully, and I got so jealous of that as a kid.

[@filmfangirls9163]

I loved this show mainly for Leo Howard (cuz that guy is a martial arts talent) but eventually I grew to love all the characters.

[@Diana45251]

The adult humor in this show was just something else 😂😂Lol 😂😂😂

[@donovanvicente7887]

Kickn’t was my show growing up. Such a goated show lmao

[@carolineray2542]

This show was my childhood!!! I loved it so much. Sure it was cheesy at times, but the friendships and romances were healthy and sweet.

[@itzodeee8511]

Rudy is without a doubt the funniest character on the show 😂😂 when he mocks the kids “we’re doin the best that we can Rudy” 😂😂😂😭😭

[@ryanappleton3653]

I think it's possible that Jason Earles has probably forgotten about this show. 🤔 Then again he's keeping everything low key, which is working with him.

[@perlatacoffee]

He hasn't! Leo Howard was actually at his wedding back in 2017. The actors have also been talking about how they would love to do a reboot.

[@jaquanpowell4605]

Jason was 100 times older than I thought he was 😂😂

[@jandm4ever716]

The cast just did a little get together a few months ago, they even brought out some old scripts and read them. they posted a little bit of it on Instagram

[@mixedupmatt3658]

I related to this show so hard as a child, coincidentally Kickin’ It came out the same year I rejoined my karate dojo. I was 9 so I was a bit younger than the main characters but the show was EVERYTHING to me. My town also had two karate studios and yeah. It pretty much went the same way of each other saying one was better than the other. But these characters friendships reminded me of my own friendships at my dojo, Sensei Rudy reminding me of my own silly fun senseis, and I know it’s a joke but you’d be surprised at the walls we broke at our studio. One time a kid went straight from one dojo into the other! It was crazy! But he was okay thankfully. By the time the show ended I still hadn’t got my black belt, but 2017 I tested and passed my shodan exam, and it’s one of the best memories I have. One of my senseis, specifically the Sensei who reminded me of Rudy left our dojo to focus on his family, and it upset me so much. He seems to be doing so great right now though, so I’m happy for him. I know to most people this is just a silly show about karate but to me it’s like I was watching a show about my life, and god I miss it. I don’t do karate anymore since Covid, but I still remember it as the thing that got me through middle and high school. And performing on stage is a feeling I can never forget.

[@naadeiashie6053]

I remember when Olivia Holt left to do her own show on Disney Channel and I was so upset and didn't watch Kickin It for awhile

What show?

[@jandm4ever716]

@@GoldenWingsYTI didn’t do it

[@walkerjpeg1048]

she’s so bad

[@miakirilova7255]

I loved the show, however, somewhere in the middle of it, or, maybe a bit later, it seems as if the creators forgot what they started with, or were hoping that we have forgotten, because I remember that there were episodes, where they made it seem as Jack was the last one to join the group, and af if Kim was part of the dojo as long as the others had and was never a black dragon.

[@Dragonofyarn]

Literally, that bothers me 😂😂

[@camilagrijalva4109]

trueeeee and the way they kicked out eddie & brushed it off as 'he joined dance' he choose ing even tho he begged his Grandma or whatever to let him stay in karate like 3 times /:( mafe me think som1 new was directing.

As a true Disney XD kid this was my life, “And no matter how much I chop and punch its not as cool as kickin' it with you!!”

This show was my favorite Disney TV Show I’ve seen as a kid! To this day, I still enjoy it! Sure, I’m a KZbin kid for life but this is also my favorite as well!

[@despicablepenguin]

Knowing Disney XD was supposed to be catered to tween boys is wild! Because i totally leaned towards Disney XD more than the regular Disney Channel

[@elaniarkady7351]

My first Sensei was the heir to the style out of Okinawa. When Shihan died he became the master. So sometimes the american who dedicated his entire life to the style does actually get the honor of continuing it. Shihan Graves Mahato karate. Olympian, and all around amazing person.

[@gabrielrowleyperch9317]

This and Lab Rats were the best shows on Disney XD

[@LHM-IND]

Jack brewer aka Leo Howard started doing martial arts after kickin' it and became a 3x World champion.

[@jasmineelizabeth3342]

I ONLY had DisneyXD for a few years and the vibes were a lot different. However they still played Suite Life on Deck and Zack and Cody so there was at least some remnant of regular Disney

[@aimeewilson4505]

You should totally cover mighty med or whatever it was called with the superhero hospital mentioned. I only watched a few episodes but it was so campy and full of marvel references. Honestly, it did the boys before the boys.

[@m56214]

Nah he should cover Aaron Stone no remembers that show Mighty Med literally had a three hour analysis

[@EnchantKnit]

I’m still mad they canceled Aaron Stone on a massive cliffhanger. I bet it had a higher budget than all the other XD shows.

[@m56214]

@@EnchantKnit The cancellation was so stupid it's because they wanted to focus on comedy based shows why couldn't they have had both comedy and drama most kids are way more into drama than comedy anyway

[@gothboithick]

Love how Mateo (Jerry) is brothers with Moises (Rico) on Hannah Montana, and Jason Earles was on BOTH Disney Channel and DisneyXD Also, I'll never forgive them for never having some sort of explanation about Eddie. Sure, I get the actor was busy/couldn't do it anymore... but at least have an explanation in the show!

I don't know how I never drew that connection between Mateo and Moises. They both have the same last name!

I love the skill development in this show, I love how in the begining, only Jack and Kim can hold their own against the antagonists but as the show goes on Jerry, Milton and Eddie all get better as well!

[@Ditto.007]

It kinda gave me Karate Kid vibes

[@almesivamoonshadow8805]

I like how this show is just Cobra Kai...or rather, Cobra Kai is just like this show.

Kickin It was a fire show. And lowkey it was a Jerry story because he went from a white belt to a black belt through the show

[@beecryptic3059]

I just started re-watching this show last week, so the timing of this video is magical!

I want a Divergent, bunk'd, or cuphead show review eventually. Alex makes the best videos

[@gavinsmith9871]

Coop and Cami ask the World too. Because god I want an excuse to rant about the main character of that...

The first two are possible but Cuphead is animated and I believe in his older vids Alex said he didn't like doing animated shows and only on rare occasions (like Miraculous since it blew up)

[@gothboithick]

i’d absolutely die if he did a video on divergent

Disney does live action martial arts very well with this, and Wendy Wu they killed it!

How has he been posting so many videos lately, good job

Disney XD just seemed like the cool version of Disney Channel when I was a kid.

[@dontask9000]

I mean I remember as a kid preferring Disney XD for the cartoon shows like Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), Gravity Falls, Penn Zero part time hero, Randy Cunningham ninth grade ninja. I remember me, my younger sister, and my two older brothers, would sit down all together and watch these shows all day.

[@TheIciestCream]

This was easily my favorite Disney show. I always loved martial arts and seeing something that positively depicted it in a time where it was not cool to be a martial artist in school.
