    I absolutely loved this show so much when it first came out. I was right around the age of "aging out of Disney Channel" when it came out and I felt like it was the first show that I saw on Disney Channel that treated me, an audience member, as a smart individual capable of maturity. It wasn't a dumb show with no substance; it actually taught me things, like what it felt like to have panic attacks when they discussed Jonah and his struggle with them. It talked about serious issues and topics that most Disney shows shied away from and I felt like that was important for me as someone who was around preteen age when it started (so right around the actual ages of the characters). I'm so happy to see that so many others in the comment section loved this show just as much as I did ❤️
    I've also actually met Sofia Wylie who played Buffy (she often comes into the place that I work at as a customer) and she's super nice!! I feel like that just makes the show even better in my mind lol

      I remember that episode vividly of when Jonah had his frost major one at Cyrus's bar mitzvah. It was one of the first times I had seen what a panic attack looked like on TV. And then a few years later I had my first one and remembered that episode and related a lot to what happened. Truly a wonderful show that showed kids things that were considered "taboo" or "improper" to show kids, and I always appreciated that about it.

    I loved that the series creator was inspired by Jack Nicholson's family history. In his mid 30's, he learned that his "older sister" was really his mum, and his "parents" really his grandparents. Unlike the show, he didn't confront them about it, since they'd all passed away by the time he found out the truth.

      Good Luck Charile had an episode that reveals that Bob and Amy Ducan were not really married and they had to get married again to have an actual license. So they basically had their first four kids out of wedlock without realizing it. But the show didn't treat that part as weird. The Amazing World of Gumball also had an episode that implies that Richard and Nicole conceived Gumball out of wedlock and didn't make it werid either.

She died recently, and unfortunately for me, I saw it happen. This show is a reminder of those times I’ve spent with her, and while looking back I wish I could’ve done more for her, reflecting on those memories brings me a sense of peace and nostalgia. I doubt you’ll see this, but thank you, Alex. I want you to know that you’ve made me smile today, like this show did when it first aired, and like my grandma did before she passed. God bless.

    I was not expecting the plot twist that her sister is actually her mom, I was shook 😅 especially since I’ve never thought Disney would do a show about a girl learning she had a teen mom. Compared to their other shows which mostly had laugh tracks, I appreciated that this one didn’t have that. It was refreshing and definitely had that ABC Family type of vibe in the beginning, which made it very different from the rest of Disney Channel shows. One of the best shows from the modern Disney Channel era (late 2010s), especially the first season. Also this is what Girl Meets World could’ve and should’ve been.

    The only problem I have when Alex reviews TV shows is that unless it's like Riverdale, where he makes multiple videos throughout the shows run, he has to condense everything into one shorter video. Like, he'll talk about the first episode, then almost immediately skip to the end, meaning he kinda just glosses over everything that happens.

    Like I said previously, Andi Mack was the first show to actually push limits. I feel like it was Disney really trying to compete with Nickelodeon who has always pushed the envelope. I still don’t understand why they started to get more mature with this show but couldn’t age up the girl meets world characters & their storyline or work with a more mature Lizzie McGuire reboot. If Cory & Shawn stayed in high school for the entire run, it would’ve gotten old real fast. I also recently discovered they went from 6th grade to 9th grade in two seasons. 😂

So they scrapped the whole idea with Terri Minsky (OG creator) stepping down because Disney didn’t want a more mature storyline & Hilary herself saying “No I’m out deuces” because Disney wants a not Sachron but not a serious tone to the show & that’s what Hilary & Terri wanted.

      And now Disney is just mass producing shows and movies with repeated storylines and without enough advertising or too much advertising with bad movies getting loads of publicity and good movies going under the radar. They also have a very deep-rooted goal of undoing all that Walt Disney created because apparently Mulan wasn't impowering enough. Also Disney is being boycotted because they've not considered donating their billions of dollars to a country that is being b*mbed on the same level of Hiroshima and did choose to donate money to a people who's government blew them up and blamed the first country.

With the economy and my parents putting a ton of pressure on me and my brothers getting a college education, and realizing how hard I struggled with getting homework done and how miserable and worthless it made me feel, I knew I couldn’t deal with it. But not having a degree makes me really scared for the future. Even now, I look back and wonder if I really made the right decision, and it gets me a bit choked up remembering all those emotions. This theme song was just the song that reminded me how exciting the unknown can be, and that helped me feel relief from that college stress.

    and i love that they just had Millicent simmonds right before she hit it big with a quiet place, like she was just an extra in season one because they filmed at her school, but the creator liked her and so she got her to be in a 2 episode arc in season 3 even if at that point she was already getting big with a few movies.

    Andi Mack was my favorite show growing up and I'm still happy that it was. I completely forgotten Jonah dealt with panic attacks till I saw a comment here but then it all came back to me and I was like "Oh my god, he did" and that was honestly my first time as a kid hearing and learning about panic attacks. Then Cyrus figuring out his identity and coming out as gay was a game changer to me cause 1, I never really saw different sexualities on TV so I was still learning about that stuff when I was younger, and 2, I am bisexual now and have also dealt with / currently dealing with coming out and accepting myself. I also remember an episode of Buffy where some kid said he couldn't see the board because of her hair and blamed her for failing his test or something and THE SCHOOL TOLD HER TO START STRAIGHTING IT- like that baffled me as a kid. Then I remember there was this episode I really liked I think they were celebrating Lunar New Year (Please correct me if I'm wrong) and I just remember them like setting off the lanterns into the sky with their wishes in them. It show just felt so real and stuff. I'm so glad I grew up with it.

      I mean they, as in Andi and Buffy, don't make a fuss over it. But remember Cyrus being scared, is that a good word, by the realization that he was gay. Because at that point in the show he had a "Girlfriend" and Jonah was "With" Andi. So he was afraid of the social implications.
      As you said though "Cyrus being gay didn’t change the bond they already".

    I love the show Andi Mack so much! I was in college when it was being released so I was definitely older than the target age demographic, but I think this show was aimed at an older age than most Disney Channel shows. I was hoping with Disney+ launching that Disney would make more shows like Andi Mack, but that hasn't happened. Andi Mack felt like the rare show in this day and age that was for all ages. It wasn't too mature or inappropriate for kids, but it also wasn't too silly and juvenile for adults. I wish there were more shows like that.
