Our Take

“Big City Greens” has always been a charming blend of rural heart and big city chaos, and its 100th episode, aptly titled “100 Hundred,” is a delightful celebration of that very spirit. Premiering today on Disney Channel (and coming to Disney+ soon), this special episode doesn’t just mark a milestone; it actively embraces it, delivering an adventure that feels both familiar and grander in scope.

The premise is simple: the Greens realize they’ve reached their 100th adventure and are determined to make it their biggest and best one yet. This sets the stage for a classic “Big City Greens” episode cranked up to eleven. We see the family’s signature blend of enthusiasm and utter lack of planning lead to a series of escalating events that are both hilarious and surprisingly touching.

While I won’t spoil the specifics of their wild escapades, the episode cleverly weaves together the show’s core elements: Cricket’s boundless energy, Tilly’s quirky wisdom, Gramma’s no-nonsense attitude, and Bill’s well-intentioned but often misguided parenting. The humor is top-notch, with the show’s signature physical comedy and witty dialogue in full force.

What makes “100 Hundred” truly special is the sense of self-awareness and the nod to the show’s journey. There are moments that feel like a loving wink to the fans who have followed the Greens through their various antics over the past four seasons. It’s a reminder of why we fell in love with this unconventional family in the first place.

“100 Hundred” isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to the consistent quality and enduring appeal of “Big City Greens.” This episode is a fun, action-packed, and heartwarming way to celebrate this milestone, and it leaves you excited for the many more adventures the Green family will undoubtedly have. If you’re a fan of the show, this is a must-watch! If you’re new to Big City Greens, “100 Hundred” might just be the perfect jumping-on point to experience the show’s unique charm.
