    It mixes the standard elements into a breezy good time, and ends with a number that'll stick in your head all day.
  2. What makes it all work is the good time the Cassidys, especially David, are having in these roles. In the end it's contagious. Shakespeare, no, but clever enough to be good 'tween fun.
  3. Given the dark flavor of Shaun Cassidy's adult TV creations and his own experiences within the music machine, Ruby feels surprisingly ordinary and uninformed, put together out of scraps from the old sitcom drawer.

    A great family show that parents enjoy watching with their children. looking forward to character development along with the many plots and music possible. a multi-generational family entertainment piece that is very refreshing. Expand

    I think the show is surprisingly enjoyable. I HATE all those stupid kiddy shows like High school musical and wizards of waverly place. But this one is actually bearable, and a fun one to watch with the family. I found myself singing the songs around the house. for a person who normally hates these shows I am genuinely surprised.

    I adore David Cassidy, and I don't like this show of his. Couldn't they photoshop some 70s pics of them together for the 'younger' photos? They both look so old in the 'old days' shots! Expand
