New Series
Recently, we had the opportunity to view “True Jackson, VP” the first season on DVD.
“The series airs on Nickelodeon and is about a teenager, True Jackson who becomes the vice president of youth apparel at the fashion house MadStyle.
Fifteen-year-old True Jackson was selling sandwiches with her friend Ryan in the fashion district in New York City. When she is complimented by fashion designer Max Madigan, founder and CEO of MadStyle, Max realizes the clothes True is wearing are his designs, but True had altered them to suit her own purposes. Max likes the altered design, and hires True to be the vice president of his fashion house’s youth apparel division.
True hires her best (but extremely unfocused) friend, Lulu, to be her assistant. With Lulu’s and Ryan’s help, True works to be the best she can be despite various obstacles such as co-worker Amanda, who is less than enthusiastic to be working with a child. Ashley Argota and Matt Shively play Lulu and Ryan, True’s best friends. Danielle Bisutti plays Amanda, the cranky vice president of women’s wear, and often works against True. Many episodes include the ways she tries to get True fired, so she can once again shine at MadStyle (or use her office as a personal gym).
This was my control group for the viewing of “True Jackson, VP, “ My two daughters, ages 9 1/2 and 8.
My two daughters ages 9 1/2 and 8.
What They Thought
Both of my daughters liked the idea of being in charge of a fashion company and they really liked True’s fashions. They both agreed that it was a funny show with “wacky adventures.” My 9 year old particularly liked that they focused on some kind of life skill or obstacle that was overcome by the end of each episode.
My Thoughts
I thought it was pretty witty, well put together with good comedic timing. I noticed that there was an ethnic diversity in the main cast, which was good. The theme music is quite catchy and makes you want to get up and dance. This particular series would appeal most to girls between the ages of 7 and 12.
Price $26.98, but on sale for $18.99 at Amazon
