Jack und Jill

The other day I saw this new TV show. I didn´t find it a great show but when we start seeing it we can´t stop. I know, i know it´s a bit similar to a bunch of other romantic TV shows, but I think this one is much better: the actors have some kind of chemistry and the scenery looks so familiar, i just can´t help waching it. I recommend Jack & Jill for those who like a good light romantic comedy.

I know lots of people will think that this show is like Felicity only the characters are in their twenties. That is a tad true, but the chemistry between Ivan Sergei and Amanda Peet is so combustible, I just have to see the show to see how they act! I really enjoy this show when there is usually nothing on Sunday nights. I also love Felicity, so its a good couple! I hope this show gets the viewers and support it needs and stays on the air, not ending up like Hyperion Bay. Whatever ever happened to the characters on that show? After the first show, I totally lost interest in HB, unlike my reaction to J&J. AND Simon Rex... was the original reason I tuned into it in the first place! HE IS SOOOOOOOOO GORGEOUS!!!!!!! these eyes..... oh boy! :)

I'm not a TV watcher, but this show has captivated me! The actors are all very beautiful people, which, while fine to look at, is not terribly realistic. However, the leads are pretty enough that realism just doesn't matter! The story pulls you in each week and gives you just enough to leave you pining for more! The writers of this one know what they're doing...I'm just hoping it doesn't get cancelled!

You can read it like a sitcom. The tone is so light and the drama is never condescending or too socially aware. Just the way it should. 90s shows were to the point and entertaining. You may cringe at some of the quirkiness, but the sarcastic tone always takes over. It was like a romantic comedy turned into a TV series. Too short lived to really get into it, unfortunately. But this is another one of WB's occurrences, when they seemed to have been cancelling all the great shows in their lineup, to fit some kind of quota. Thankfully it has everything that made their shows so good, still. Normally looking actors, with characters easy to relate to. That dreamy big city setting, where you feel like you're part of their world. And episodes, quotes or music moments that will stick with you forever. The music team did a terrific work selecting songs for this series, by the way. And using ones that were already broadcasted in other popular movies and TV shows, in a way that fits the atmosphere of the show perfectly. It would be a shame some cheap DVD/streaming release erases this. It's available to watch online, and I can only recommend this to any fans of shows like Friends and Felicity. And some of the actors, of course. Mainly Amanda Peet and Ivan Sergei.

I have seen many shows, from 90210 to Saved by the Bell, to Melrose Place, etc. But unlike any of those shows, this is the one show that has really caught my interest. This show is not only romantic and funny, but so cute & interesting and makes you believe in FAITH. For those romantics out there, this is the one show you don't want to miss. Just by the title of it you can expect that both Jack & Jill will end up together, but if you started seeing this show since day one, you know that it wasn't that easy. First of all, when it first started, they were both in love with someone else, and then, thanks to the help of faith, they ended up together but by conquering various obstacles. I have seen this show since the beginning, and I still can't get enough of it. I wish they could show it like Friends, every single day, but by showing it every Wed., it just keeps you guessing & waiting for the next episode. This is the one show that I even leave work early for, since day one, I have never missed an episode. I am still waiting to see if Elisa stays with Mikey. Its a great show & I just hope that it never goes off the air. I want Jack & Jill for more years to come.
