So Little Time (2001–2002)
7/10
The best Olsen Twins show since "Full House"
16 July 2009
"So Little Time" may not be a great show, but it's still a entertaining one. When the show first came out, I used to watch it because I found it a fun show and mostly because of the Olsen Twins. Lately I've re-watched some episodes again for nostalgia and I still consider this show as a cute one.

Like mentioned, The Olsen Twins is a reason for both watching and liking the show (in a objective point of view). I used to watch "Full House" back in the 90's, but not necessarily just for twins, but because it was a entertaining and funny show. The twins were adorable as kids and it isn't strange that they got so popular, cause they had a natural, childish charisma. As teenagers they didn't had the same appeal like they used to have (logically, cause they were growing up), but they were still likable and carried much of "So Little Time". But to be realistic; At that age they had mostly played "normal teen" parts and hadn't had to so much chance to play deeper parts like for example Dakota Fanning and Haley Joel Osment did as kids. Still, the girls had charisma and fortunately a good comedic timing.

The rest of the cast also made the show. My favorite used to be and it's still Larry (Jesse Head), a goofy and innocent character who was likable and adorable. Eric Luthes was also likable as the teens fun-loving and carefree father Jake Carlson. Claire Carey was a perfect fit as the twins business mother Macy, but there's no doubt that Taylor Negron as the Carlson's family domestic Manuelo was the most funniest and charismatic character (despite he wasn't my personal favorite, but he was still funny). Natashia Williams as the vain and times self-centered Tedi was also a fun character, despite her vainness made her unlikeable at times, but she had her moment of kindness. The only misconception is Amy Davidson as Cammie. She was a fun and energetic character, but could have been given more funnier lines.

Otherwise, "So Little Time" didn't distinguish it self from other teens sitcoms. The show was obviously aimed for kids and tweens, but was fortunately never typically childish. There were some bad lines, plot holes and some cheesy guest roles at times. But fortunately the good things weighted over the negative things here and at least the show didn't leaned entirely on typically sitcom clichés.
