    "I don't hate it!"

    In fact, I love this show! My brother and I just finished buying all four of the So Little Time DVDs of the show. I honestly don't know why all of the people who seem to hate this show are posting comments because we don't need anymore of your complaining! I love the girls' fashion in the show and their hairstyles (in the first season). The first season rocked! The second season was ok, but they went wrong with Larry's hair. It was great first season, then they attempted to change it... I'm not striking them down at all, I'm just wonderin' what was goin' though their minds! :) Cammie was funny sometimes, but I was not a fan of Larry and Cammie's relationship. I was a Riley/Larry supporter. They would have been SO CUTE together! Anyways, I think this show was hilarious! Just some of the looks they have are great. For example, in the episode "The Breakfast Club" when Chloe is trying to get into detention, she says, "You can get into detention for that!" when she sees Larry has taken a frog out of the biology lab. She has an idea and the look she has on her face is just hilarious. She then says, "Gimme that!". This show is meant to be funny so viewers shouldn't take it so seriously and be so critical. I liked Two of Kind, but I LOVED So Little Time and was really sad when I found out it was being cancelled. Who cares if the show isn't completely like reality, as so many of you pointed out. I live in California and some people DO live in beach houses. DUH! So stop saying that people don't! As far as the whole "they're 14 and most girls that age don't think about boys that much.." crap, I must ask you, you weren't thinking about guys?! Whatever, I was, as do MOST NORMAL girls. This show is NOT a waste of time, AT ALL. So go out and have some fun. Watch So Little Time.

    A good series

    This is my top five TV-series i've ever seen. It is very funny sometimes and " The twins" do a really great job.I don't usually look at series but this was an exception. I saw the DVD in a shop and bought it at once because i really love Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. So i had big expectations on the DVD but i didn't get disappointed at all. It was exactly as i thought when i first saw the DVD in the shop that it should be really great. It was even better than i could imagine before i had seen it. It was very interesting and with a lot of jokes frequently. In the series they meet a lot of new boys that they sometimes , of course, fall in love with. It becomes a lot of kisses. If you like this kind of "love stories" with cute girls in you are recommended to see this series. I promise that you won't get disappointed at all. So what are you waiting for? buy it now!

    Horrific

    I wrote on here earlier after seeing about two episodes that this show was okay, because I thought it might get better so I didn't try to hit it too hard. But now I see I was wrong. It's absolutely horrible.

    The Olsen twins are just terrible in this one. I loved Two of a Kind, but this show is just AWFUL! All they do is sit on their beds and talk to the camera. After awhile, they get bored and just have to call boys! In my opinion, someone would have major mental issues if this is the way they spend life. No one I know, not even preps, act like this!

    Why do the parents spend all their spare time together? If they like each other so much, why'd they separate in the first place? Also, why does the mother try to look exactly like Sally Wheeler (Carrie from Two of a Kind)? I've seen some scenes where if her back's turned, you would almost believe it was Carrie. I think there needs to be some difference between them.

    Manuelo MUST be talking in Spanish. I don't think anyone can understand him. If he continues to talk like this, they should just let everyone talk in Spanish. If they did, it would probably be a better show!

    I have seen many better shows. I liked Full House, and Two of a Kind very much. Also, some of their movies. Most of them are stupid because they always try to look like they're so good but they really just look like dorks.

    Perhaps the worst thing is that the Olsen twins don't even seem to realize how bad this show is! They've probably never really had to work very hard to improve their acting or get a show. I mean, they're probably going to get to do a show anyway, whether they train for it or not! They must have the time of their lives doing this, getting heavily made up and then grinning at the camera. But don't they realize that people don't have the time of their lives watching this? I wonder why they are the EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS! They haven't had much real producing experience, and probably little to no training. In a way I almost don't blame them. They have no idea what they are doing.

    This show had better improve soon. It probably won't get cancelled, though, since it's on ABC family. Maybe someone will someday decide to improve it.

    Quite possibly the worst thing that the Olsen twins have ever participated in

    And I thought Passport to Paris was bad. It's a shame that a show like this was allowed to be made. It's even more of a shame that we're supposed to take it seriously. And it's just plain insulting that some people actually do.

    Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen are two talented little b***s. I mean the kids were quoted as saying that all that teenage girls thought about were "fashion and boys." The only reason that they've gotten anywhere was because people think that they are so cute. If they were seen as ugly would they be as famous as they are now? I agree with citydance247 who said that they should just be models. You would think after about 15 years of acting experience they would have learned a little something along the way.

    Well, The Olsen twins are back. It's sad that their show "Two of a Kind" got canceled so early because it could have gone somewhere. But now they have this little ill conceived pile of crap and we're supposed to be buying it.

    All of the characters are completely and utterly annoying. The two people who play the parents couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag. They are supposed to be separated but they are always together. At least they have a mother on this show though. The man who plays the nanny could do so many better things. You might recognize him as the pizza boy from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." But he's stuck playing an underappreciated male nanny with a bad Hispanic accent. Why would you hire a male nanny to watch to little girls anyway? Larry is not the comic relief. He is an annoying little twirp who hangs around because he thinks that Riley is cute. And of course Mary-Kate and Ashley are playing two shallow ditzes (oh how new and different for them) and all they do is parade around the house complaining how their parents aren't together, fretting over which boy is cuter, and wearing designer clothes that no real teenager would be able to afford. And Teddie who plays the fashion model shouldn't even be on the show. And what is with the fake background of the house?

    You can tell from when the show starts that it is going to be crap. It has the twins mainly walking on the beach, barefoot and turning around while flipping their hair when we reveal their names. The narration sequences are a sad way of avoiding actually showing us what the real conflict is.

    Real teenagers are not like this at all. I would know considering the fact that I actually am one. They don't only worry about clothes and boys. They worry about their grades and what they are going to do with their lives. The fact that this show claims to show what real teenage life is like is just plain insulting. Don't waste your time watching this sugar coated piece of fluff unless you want to feel better about yourself.

    "Haven't you see TV? It has nothing to do with talent".

    That title came at a perfect time. I was channel surfing, came upon this show, decided to sign on and trash it and then, out of nowhere I hear the redheaded girl on the show say that quote! HA!

    Well, onto the trashing: I think that this is, by far, the worst Mary-Kate and Ashley project ever (not that many of their other ones were any good). The directors try to make it seem so "hip" and "new age". You can tell by the setting and decor that they're really trying to appeal to viewers as stereotypical California teens.

    They failed horribly.

    The parents on the show are horrible, but yet again, so is everyone else. I honestly don't see how the twins have come as far as they have. I think their agents just played their cards right. Anyway, the acting, jokes, everything is disgustingly bad. The "jokes" they crack are so unfunny, I'm not sure it's safe to call them jokes.

    I give this show 1 star out of 10. But only because, when playing critic, I don't think you're allowed to a show -5 stars, like this one deserves.

    • Trivia
      This is not the first time Mary-Kate and Ashley play sisters called Riley and Chloe. In their movie "Winning London" from a year prior, Mary-Kate played Chloe Lawrence and Ashley played Riley Lawrence. The girls liked the names enough to reuse them, only this time, they swapped first names and used a new last name. In "So Little Time," Mary-Kate plays Riley Carlson and Ashley plays Chloe Carlson.
