Austin & Ally was a Disney Channel sitcom. High schoolers Austin Moon (Ross Lynch) and Ally Dawson (Laura Marano) join forces as singer/songwriter to launch Austin's music career (though later one Ally also becomes a solo artist). Both have to juggle high school with fame with the help of their two friends Dez (Calum Worthy) and Trish (Raini Rodriguez), meanwhile falling in and out of love a couple of times.

The show has lots of poppy original music (some of it rather catchy). Lynch is a pretty good dancer and performer. Marano is harder to tell since Ally is the klutzy shy one. The chemistry is ok-ish and though both characters have other relationships in the first couple of seasons the last couple of seasons focuses on their on-again off-again dance.

It took a couple of season for me to get into the show. I think the first season Austin is a bit too self-centered but he gets better. The musical numbers are nice (a lot of them are shot like music videos). And eventually I got invested in the characters and at the end of the series it was nice to see all four succeed in their various endeavors.

So overall a good four-season series.
