I love this show, i'm not sure if i prefer to their earlier show Two of a kind but this is great.Mary-Kate and Ashley play brilliantly as Riley and Chloe Carlson along side hilarious Taylor Negron who plays manuelo the housekeeper.I would definately recommend you watch this.

The best Olsen Twins show since "Full House"
StartingAllOver1416 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.

Very Cute Series
KatherinePetersdorf30 June 2013
So Little Time was a very cute series, I enjoyed it when I was a preteen, each episode made me laugh. I think the reason it ended so fast was because there wasn't enough of a long term story line to keep the series going. The mother and father were still obviously in love and the moment they got back together the show ended, and if they didn't angry viewers would make the show end.
I also didn't like the way that Riley treated Larry, he worshiped her and she used him like a tissue. She let him follow her around like a lap dog and then didn't date him. I thought he was cute.
I would still recommend the series.

Wonderful Show

This is a refreshing show that the whole family can enjoy. It's nice to sit back and enjoy this funny show. The Olson Twins stand for true family television. Unfortunately, some smug adults did not like this show that centers on attracting children and teens, so the show got cancelled. Television shows such as this one should be judged only by children and young adults. "So Little Time" should have been allowed to continue on to provide good wholesome television for the whole family. With all of the trashy stuff on television, shows like So Little Time are a blessing.
This isn't so great
unknown27019 April 2007
I was( and probably still am ) an olsen twin fan, I caught their earlier show Two of a kind and really liked because it featured issues that you could relate to and showed that the characters were human like us and didn't always have everything.
Onto so little Time, OK for a start the olsen twins are older (around fifteen or sixteen) and they are playing two characters called riley and chloe, they live in a very nice house on the beach and their parents are divorced so they live with their one parent and male nanny.
OK, one thing I didn't like the fact the show seemed unrealistic, the one that I really couldn't understand was the fact that although their parents are divorced they're constantly with each other, this doesn't happen in the real world because people who are divorced wouldn't be seeing each other on a daily basis and it's also very unclear to the viewers that they're divorced. The plots of the episodes are not memorable and the casting wasn't very good either, the male nanny was just terrible due to the fact that he had a obviously fake accent. Also the girls just seem obsessed with boys and don't appear to go through any life struggles(I'm not saying life is depressing, but sometimes life can difficult for us).
What i also don't understand was that the two girls don't seem affected by the fact that their parents are divorced, this would affect any person in someway in the real world.
Overall I found this to be a very bad show, it was unrealistic and not memorable. I honestly cant recommend this to anyone, if you're a lad like myself who likes the olsen twins you could watch it to see them look good, but to perfectly honest that's not a good enough reason.
If you want to watch a good children's series with realist issues then watch Drake and Josh or Two of a kind.
Bottom line is avoid this.

DVD BOXSET - COMPLETE WITH BONUS DISC (2 episodes never aired on bonus disc)
quinn-morgendorffer11 October 2006
I bought the DVD boxset of 'so little time' with the bonus disc containing both unaired episodes plus the four discs which contained the 26 episodes airred for $20 the other day at a used store. it was mint box, mint DVD holders, no scratches on disc, or anything. i donated my spare DVD of 'so little time - volume 4' to the library as they have volumes 1 and 2 of so little time on VHS, and only volume 2 on DVD.
note - VHS's contain behind the scene footage, while dvds contain bloopers. i believed the DVD boxset bonus dics contains behind the scenes stuff - unsure, just watched the episodes on it. they rocked!

Well-made, clever, happy show
blank512427 August 2015
This show is such a cheerful and lovely depiction of life, but I don't feel it's saccharine or artificial (because of the ironic tone and self-consciousness of its humor), just charming. The actors all deliver their lines with such ease of manner and good timing. They seem to have astuteness and intelligence and seem to be reasonable, good-natured people, which makes their characters even more likable. Their ease of delivery and humility (because it's not a big show) and the clever, ironic humor of the scripts gives the show a rare effortlessness and kind of a feeling of familiarity/coziness (they don't try hard to be funny like a person would with a stranger) that makes you feel at ease watching it. I also think the show is quite poignant at times. It has a refreshing light-hearted way of addressing life's 'everyday' dilemmas (such as when Jake is talking to Teddi about how adults sometimes forget how to 'have fun') that I feel is actually more effective and cutting to one's own heart than a heavy, didactic approach.
I also think the show was very creative and sincerely effortful (i.e. the Manuelo-turtle poster prop being made for just for one joke, the song sung by Larry for the War of the Bands episode, the poem written by Riley, Larry's speech about cleaning up the highway, points in the capital punishment debate, etc.) and far from rote. The family situation was unique (dad not working and trying to 'find himself,' dad living in trailer park, male nanny, separated parents) but it was depicted naturally (didn't seem over-emphasized or gimmicky at all). The plots are very interactive with the settings and are interesting (bush fire causing everyone to evacuate to school, volunteering in retirement home, depiction of overwhelmingly positive person in a wheelchair, etc.) Such a happy, balanced show that depicts everyday life with reasonability and good judgment. I ramble (this is too long) but I don't think the show/writers/actors are given enough credit. I only didn't like the sometimes cheesy 'Mary-Kate and Ashley on-the-set' intros to the later episodes, which don't seem to be delivered with any irony. I appreciate this show even more than when I was younger (I really love the actors/characters in the show, from Ms. Westmore to Manuelo, they just seem so good-natured)

Cute Show!
fairysk8r7 February 2003
This show is really cute! It is entertaining and sweet. Great for the under 14 crowd. The Olsen twins provide humor and the cast is very good. The house keeper guy is hilarious! The mother on the show makes the show very interesting. The show takes place in southern California, so there are great locations and scenes.
"I don't hate it!"
luckyirishgrl074 March 2004
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.
Sweet & funny!:)!
margaretha28 April 2003
I just read another user comment on this show and didn't like the way they dissed Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen! They are growing into two fine young actresses and does not deserve any of that abuse! My opinion of the show is that it's sweet & funny (nice to see two sisters being more than just that, but also as best friends)! I think it was a really nice show!!!!
A good series
cooling_boy119 January 2006
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
sundrop3 January 2002
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.

Absolutely awful
ramshot15 May 2003
This is, by a mile, the worst comedy series I have ever seen, and I have seen many. I've seen around 5 episodes, which I looked through simply because I was amazed that anything this bad would survive for more than a few episodes. Not a SINGLE joke got even a smile from me. EVERY single joke was either utterly predictable or old, the actors are truly horrible without exception and the only positive thing about the series is the cuteness of the twins. Many things are wrong in the series but my god, who WRITES THIS GARBAGE? :-D
I would have to say this show is kinda mature....
Moonie_8814 July 2001
I think this show is cool.Especially the theme song "So Little Time" by Arkansas.I'm glad they tell which songs are from which artist because that's very helpful.I would have to say Mary-Kate and Ashley are a little bit more mature for their age. I do miss their old series "Two Of A Kind".It use to be on ABC.I really hope I can find my "Kid'R'Us" Spring 1999 issue!

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.

sminkydink13 January 2002
OK, I'm appalled at this show. I know TV isn't supposed to be real but this show didn't even give the pretence of trying to be real. I'm 16 years old so I remember being 14-15 really clearly and I never acted like the twins do in this, nor did my friends (or anyone in my school). There's so much more to life and when you're 14 you are totally aware of this. 'So Little Time' is an insult to teenage girls everywhere.
I think Mary-Kate and Ashley are great, and 'Two Of A Kind' was hilarious but I'm sorry to say that the high points of their career died when 'Two Of A Kind' did. Its a shame.

Horrible!
playdoughqueen24 August 2001
This show is really really bad!!! Its very boring, and beyond stupid. At least in Two of a Kind, the Olsen twins' characters were different from eachother. Ashley was the preppy, straight A student and Mary Kate was the tom boy. But in So Little Time, Chloe and Riley (the names!) are exactly the same as each other. I can't even tell which one is which (even though one as permed hair and one has straight hair). Also, the characters are boring and some of them are just annoying. Especially the Larry and the housekeeper Manuelo!
I think the girls are trying way too hard to look "cool." The clothes they wear are just too much. And all the makeup? They're trying to look like models or something, and its not working. It only makes them look stupid.
The "jokes" are not funny at all. The unbelievable part is that this show is actually filmed in front of a live audience. Personally, I don't know why anyone would want to watch this show being done live. Its bad enough watching it on tv.
Basically, this show is a waste of time. I can't believe that shows like this one are allowed to be shown. Trust me, avoid it at all costs.

It Isn't The Best Of Mary-Kate And Ashley
SpicyLilChica75715 December 2001
I love Mary-Kate and Ashley, but this show I hate! First off Chloe and Riley's lives are not real. They live by the water in some beach house in Malibu California. It makes there lives seem so fake. They go to bed pretty and dress in different close everyday. The school they attend is so fake also. School isn't like that unless your a sophisticated prep. Two Of A. Kind was more realistic then this show, although Two Of A. Kind had its moments where you were like "Yeah If I did that my parents would..." but this show is worse. MK&A I would have expected a little more at of you!
How can something so irealistic have appeared on Tv? This show is truly NOT I repeat Not worth watching!!!

1)First of all I have watched both Two OF A Kind and So Little Time. I must say that the only reason these girls appear on Television is because the entertainment industry think that by posting two twins that look somewhat cute can bring them loads of money.
2)Second of all the Olsen Twins cannot act even though they practically grew up on TV. If you want people to watch a show it has either got to be really funny which is usually not the case or realistic so people can relate to it. You cannot whatsoever be able to relate to So little time because this just isn't real.
3) How many people do you know who live in a huge beach house in California with a successfull mom which is seperated yet the two parents see alot of each other and that they have a mexican nanny and a ton of boys are in love with them yet the guys they like never seem to like them? why is that? Because they think people will like that since its so imaginary.
4) In every movie or show or anything they have done in the past the plot ALWAYS revolves around the girls obsessed with fashion & guys. Right there that is so irealistic because normal teens or any teen for that matter is not like that and even if they were they wouldn't be 24/7. Yet these girls supposably symbolise today's teenager. Which is so not true.
5) How can they stand it as people, to play in such movies or shows I for one couldn't. The plot of this show is well there really isn't one. There just two girls who talk constantly about guys & fashion. And thats no story line. Its seriously about nothing. No wonder it got cancelled. the plot is stupid and has a terribly bad influence on many.
6) It makes life seem like such a joke and so easy well maybe Mary-Kate & Ashley have never lived a normal life but I for one can truly say it's not easy and is most definetly No joke whatsoever. Like in movies they have done before, you see them talk back to their parents or start yelling and screaming then just storm off and their parents do NOTHING well maybe its just me but I can't do that just walk off after talking back and not get punished it just doesn't happen.
7) And the fact that they play such irealistic characters has had I guess maybe too big of an influence on them, they are not normal teens and never have been so I guess how do you expect for them to be able to difference good roles and bad ones. They have lost a grip on reality. They have never lived a hard life. Richess has always been in their grasp. They do not know what life is truly like and maybe for them the charcters they play are real.
8) They also cannot act which I mentionned earlier. They just don't have the talent. Have you ever seen them cry or be in an emotional scene NO for them life is like always fun and happy its a joke. As is this show.
9) It has no message good acters nor a good plot. If you want to seriously loose grip of reality like them then I advise you to watch this show otherwise DON'T. It just fills your head up with nonsense and doesn't even portray the personnality of a teen.
Many people will tell me that well you can't do any better. You know what, I might if I had also grown up on TV and had all these people to tell me what to do or how to act. But Your right I probably can't do any better than them but I am sure there are many out there who could. Maybe not me but there are people who have talent and can act but unfortunately have not been dicovered. But trust me on this, these girls are most definetley not the best there is out there, they could have found better. And those people with talent diserve to be on television.

I was laughing...

I was open to the idea that "so little time" could be good. I can honestly admit I enjoyed "Two of a kind" and was hoping for the same with their new show. BOY! was I wrong. The different plots are stupid, the jokes aren't funny and I learned that Mary Kate and Ashely Olsen cannot act. I am usually generous but this show really stinks. Yes, I was laughing. I was laughing at the fact that any sane person would actually show this garbage on any tv station. 1 out of 10 stars.
Well......

So little time is NOT a good show, the only thing that is cool about it is Jesse Head (he is hot). The story is really BAD,I mean: two twins that lives in a BIG house, great friends, a cute boy is in love with one of them, they can get whatever they want. the perfect life.........NOT
Yeah, but aren't they cute?

So the writing may not be so hot, and acting of the adults in the show is a bit below par, but this show is a lot of fun and Mary-Kate and Ashley are as cute as we've come to expect.
The show should be viewed in the context in which it was created, to be fun. It does seem a bit lightweight and would benefit from some more heartfelt scenes rather than just the comedy, but just enjoy it.

I think it's great

I am a real fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley...Yeah so "so little time" may not be the best show i think it is good i read most people don't really like this show i but i love it and some people say It's not funny maybe you just don't have that type of sense of humor. And for people who haven't seen this show nad are reading to see if it's good,a note for you..... This is a goood show in my opinion and watch this show before you judge it....Everyones different and there are different shows for everyone out there........chose your own show on your preference not on someone elses...
too much time wasted

Hmm...after watching about 10 episodes, I can't help wondering if it was meant to be a comedy? The laughter i had from the 10 episodes is the same as watching one episode of friends or "whose line is it anyway?". As much as I adore the Olsen twins, even their pretty faces can't save this show. I think the funniest character is Larry even though he is the most irritating as well. About the seperated parents part, they don't really look separated to me in fact they look more like a happy couple. The 'nanny' should lose his fake accent. Its rather irritating and i don't really understand what he is saying some times. To conclude my comment, gals please go back to of kind. It was way better.
