Mystery Girls

It's almost a shame you can't give this show a minus rating. If any shows deserves such a rating, it is this one!

The only mystery about this show is how on earth it got picked up in the first place. It's almost like something 2 friends will come up with on a Saturday night on the sofa whilst drunk.

I tend to give most pilots a fair shot. I will watch them all the way through before figuring out if this is for me or not, but I just couldn't get past the halfway stage on this one. It is quite simply one of the worst "comedies" I have ever witnessed.

I don't think even think it can be classed as a comedy, as it's simply not remotely funny. I don't really know what it is. Other than a complete waste of space.

Please do yourself a favour; AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

This show is a colorful, uproariously funny pop culture explosion! Everyone needs to relax and not take it so seriously. This is a lighthearted sitcom with a sweet heart. No bitchy put downs (a la Two Broke Girls). No horrible sarcasm (a la 2 1/2 Men). Just lots of campy, good-time fun with an endless stream of 1990's pop culture jokes and references! Tori Spelling is adorable as the ditsy, blonde Holly Hamilton. Tori is self-deprecating in the role, poking fun at everything from bad Lifetime movies to Botox. Jennie Garth is the more serious of the two, but is adorable how she tries to keep Holly under control. And their sidekick Nick is one of the best breakout TV stars in years. He literally almost steals the show from the girls. I LOVE THIS SHOW. It is unique and charming. Give it a chance!

I'm really pulling for this show to make it. It's quirky and cute and I just enjoy watching Tori Spelling. I think it's because I feel like I know her after getting hooked on Tori and Dean several years ago. She feels like family and I just want good things for her. That said, the show is still a little rough. I actually liked the pilot (which aired this week) better than the three episodes that aired first. It seems like Tori and Miguel decided to kick their flamboyance up a notch after recording the pilot. I understand that their characters are supposed to be over the top; but it's a little too much, even for a serious Tori fan. I will keep watching and I hope you do, too. It really is a lot of fun.

Firstly, anyone who criticizes multi-camera sitcoms for having "fake laughs" knows nothing about how television gets made. Mystery Girls is taped in front of a studio audience. Real laughs from real people. If you think laughter is "fake," then you're probably the kind of joyless person who watches a lot of television by yourself with your hand down your pants.

On to the show, if you're open minded, pop-culture obsessed, and you enjoy multi-cam sitcoms, you will probably enjoy MG. If you're all of those things AND a 90210 fan from the 90s, this show is made for you. It's comfort television. Turn off your brain for 30 minutes and relax - you're in good hands. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how dirty and fun this show can be (definitely not for kids) - Miguel Pinzon is genuinely hysterical as the fan turned assistant.

While the premise of a "TV" detective turned detective isn't entirely original (see Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel's hilarious one-and-done Lookwell pilot starring Adam West from 1991, on YouTube), the execution and style of MG is completely its own.

And finally, watch with real friends. TV is meant to be shared.

I had minimal hopes for this show, but hopes none the less because it's a cute idea and Jenny Garth is great! However, that being said ... the writing is nothing short of horrific, a 3rd grader could have written a better script, and Tori Spellings acting ability is atrocious! She is far too old to pull off this ditz / valley girl character that she insists on over acting, it is barely tolerable watching a 17 year old play this type of roll, let alone Tori Spelling... it's not cute at that age! A community theater production of Legally blonde would put on a better production and would most definitely be a huge upgrade in acting ability. This show will not last!
