Top 10 Reasons Why WITS Academy Was a Good Show
After Every Witch Way - the first Nickelodeon show in a long time to be genuinely good - ended, they created a spin-off called WITS Academy. It turned out to be a well-received show, and the main character even said, "Fans will love it," which gave fans early confidence in its success.However, after just one season, Nickelodeon decided to cancel it, likely due to low ratings. There is also a perception among some fans that Nickelodeon has been struggling with its programming choices since around 2005, prioritizing profit over quality content and filling their schedule with less engaging shows.
Some people thought WITS Academy would be bad, as many dislike spin-offs for being bad compared to their predecessors. But when it came on, it turned out to be good.
It was full of epic moments and comedy, along with important life lessons. It taught us not to give up.
Like with Every Witch Way, WITS Academy had a good storyline as well. It kept us on the edge of our seats with what was going on.
Many spin-offs these days turn out disastrous compared to their predecessors, but WITS Academy proved the opposite. It turned out to be a good show.
Andi in the first advertisement said that "fans of Every Witch Way are going to love the new series," which was the first sign it would be good. We'll miss it, especially considering Nickelodeon hardly makes any more good shows these days.
Many live-action shows on Nick have laugh tracks, and lately, they're being overused, even on parts that aren't funny. But Every Witch Way didn't have any laugh tracks, and neither did WITS Academy.
It even had real comedy, which made us laugh. It was great to watch for a modern Nickelodeon show.
This show had morals. It taught us not to give up during the toughest times.
It was great to see that it had morals, especially considering Nickelodeon hardly makes any more good shows that have good morals.
Since WITS Academy was a spin-off, it had characters from the previous show Every Witch Way. We knew it would have them, and it was great to see them on TV again.
We'll miss them.
Like with a few shows, including Every Witch Way, it had suspense. People were left hanging to see what was going to happen next.
It was great to see it have that.
Like with Every Witch Way and that boring show, Talia In The Kitchen, WITS Academy had excellent camera quality. It almost captured what our eyes see.
It looked very realistic, and why do people complain about it when it's great?
Many Nickelodeon shows nowadays have too much toilet humor, like Fanboy & Chum Chum, Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, Henry Danger, and Pig Goat Banana Cricket.
But Every Witch Way had none. This show had some, but it was minimal. It was most noticeable when Andi said "butt," but that was rarely said, and it didn't go too far. There was no vomit, poop, or blood. It was great to see a show after so long with little to no toilet humor.
Like with Every Witch Way, the first show on Nickelodeon after so long to have actual comedy, this show had actual comedy too. Some characters mocked others in a funny way. Agamemnon was funny, and Ben's face looked cute.
Like with Every Witch Way, which was an adaptation of Grachi, a Nickelodeon Latin American show, WITS Academy was its own show. Though it was a spin-off of Every Witch Way, that wasn't a problem.
While there was magic, it was realistic in a new way, not using magic wands like many previous TV shows, movies, and books.
The Newcomers
Every Witch Way was good, but it had a lot of bratty characters. WITS Academy, on the other hand, had characters that were less bratty. Relationship fights were less common, and so was the kissing.
Once again, Nickelodeon made a show where drama is serious and not Disney Channel fakery. Unlike Every Witch Way, this show used tamer drama.
It was a great show.
You might not totally agree with this, but WITS Academy was believed to be set on another planet, the Magic Realm planet. They took a portal there, and the two moons in the sky proved it. We all know that even if Earth is too generic, it's very important. However, we wanted to explore more, and this showed us a new setting.
It was amazing to see something like that happen in a live-action show after so long. Unfortunately, it's too much like our Earth, likely due to a low budget. However, it's great to see something like that in a live-action kids' show, especially a Nickelodeon show, as that rarely happens.
