Show Summary

  • Ended
When their dad took a job in Japan, teenage livewire Holly Tyler (Amanda Bynes) and her straight-laced (twentysomething-year-old) sister, Valerie (Jennie Garth), move in together in New York City . Just when Val thought she had the perfect existence - a promising career in public relations, her own Upper West Side apartment (now Loft), and plenty of eligible men to date - everything in her neatly regimented life started to unravel the minute Holly stumbled through the door. Their new life together will take a lot of getting used to, but Val and Holly's relationship is stronger than ever. In early 2006, when The WB and UPN decided to combine to form a new network known as The CW, the number of WB and UPN shows being ported over to The CW were cut back in order to make room for new programming. This show was one of the many WB shows that suffered as a result of the networks joining, and was canceled in early 2006, and the series finale aired in March, leaving the final season at only 18 episodes.''''The WB's Broadcast History: September 2002-May 2003 Friday at 8:00pm''June 2003-September 2003 Friday at 8:30pm''September 2003-December 2003 Thursday at 9:00pm''December 2003-May 2004 Fridays at 8:30pm''June 2004-March 2006 Fridays at 8:00pm (Simulcast in HDTV starting with episode 23)''''Theme Song: Lillix's re-recording of The Romantics "What I Like About You" is used in season 1.

  • Too cliche, too corny, not a great show.

    "Bad"
    I am a fan of Jennie Garth, but not in this show! This show is too corny, too cheesy, too cliche, too boring! You know what's going to happen before it happens. I find myself rolling my eyes more during this show than I ever have in my life. The jokes aren't funny. The acting isn't funny or good. This show is a waste of time! How it lasted four years I don't even know. The whole Vince and Holly thing is played out! Everything they do is so cliche and so already done a million times. Nothing on this show is realistic! How did Val afford her apartment for a year when her business went way south? How can she keep her bakery afloat when there seems to be almost no customers and everything is boring?moreless

  • Not bad.

    "Mediocre"
    I think this is a show in which the base needed more work. The characters were okay, but the acting was just sub-par and average. Again, not bad acting, just mediocre. The best part of the show was Amanda Bynes. She was actually a decent actress and she was kind of hot. I guess I never cared much for the show because I consider myself an acting buff. The worst part of the show had to be the storylines and the revolving door of angles on the show. Overall, not a bad show, but just a show that was average at best. Thank you.moreless

  • Meh, its not any good, its almost a Friends rip-off.

    "Terrible"
    What I like about you is about two sisters that are roommates, and they get into fights. They make up, and wonder why the fight in the first place. They also talk with their friends about who they slept with, or who are they going to sleep with. Its kinda of gross and stupid, and a total rip-off of Friends. This show is annoying, its even more annoying because most of the character voices are speaky. You wouldn't want to watch it.moreless

  • I'm not going to lie but What I Like About You was just a mediocre comedy show that was not interesting at all. The comedy was too thought out and the storylines were too complicated and kind of boring. There's a reason it got canceled.moreless

    "Good"
    When I first watched this show it was just for boredom because I had nothing to watch. I did get into it but as the seasons progressed it got boring, too thought out, and it seemed like these two wonderful actresses are barely getting acting lessons. I did like all the season but as I said they are just to have something to watch when there is nothing. The storylines were really weird. They kept on changing love interests ever other episode and that made it seem really dumb and boring. Now they are showing re-runs almost everywhere but there is a reason it didn't get its fifth season because it didn't catch the eye of many viewers. At least they tried.moreless

    "Perfect"
    This is one of my favorite shows and I can't seem to write a better summary XD Now that's sad XD Anywho, I just started watching this show a couple of weeks ago, but it's already found a special place in my heart. The series is about two young woman who are living together because their dad moved to Japan. Val is the oldest, Holly is the youngest. Holly, being the teenager, runs across dilemmas normal teenagers face; such as school, jobs, conflicts with friends, sister fights, and, of course, boys. Val, being a young woman in her twenties or early thirties, deals with jobs, coworkers, and men. Together, with help from their friends, they deal with their problems and work to create a better life for themselves.moreless
