So Little Time: The Pilot (Part 1)
The time has finally come... this week we watch a Mary-Kate and Ashley fan favorite, a show that solidified the Fox Family Channel as teen girl heaven and ignited the SoCal fashion trends of early '00s (we think).
This week we watch So Little Time. And since we have so MUCH time, we're sticking to just the pilot, "Dog Day Afternoon." In this episode, we meet Riley (Mary-Kate this time) and Chloe (now Ashley) Carlson, their weird friend Larry (Jesse Head), their vivascious manny Manuelo (Taylor Negron), and their estranged parents Jake (Eric Lutes) and Macy (Clare Carey) Carlson. We talk about what this show meant to us as tweens, dissect this strange, clunky pilot, and puzzle over Teddi (Natashia Williams)'s modeling contract with the Carlsons. We also try to figure out why exactly the Carlsons had so LITTLE time.
And disclaimer: we didn't love the pilot as much as we'd hoped. It takes us a minute to process the shift from the air-tight, network-produced perfection that was Two of a Kind and readjust to the relaxed and breezy fun that So Little Time did so well, but trust us, we DO get there.
Also, since this show is notoriously not on streaming, head on over to SimplyOlsen's Instagram bio to watch the full show.
