Mystery Girls

I had minimal hopes for this show, but hopes none the less because it's a cute idea and Jenny Garth is great! However, that being said ... the writing is nothing short of horrific, a 3rd grader could have written a better script, and Tori Spellings acting ability is atrocious! She is far too old to pull off this ditz / valley girl character that she insists on over acting, it is barely tolerable watching a 17 year old play this type of roll, let alone Tori Spelling... it's not cute at that age! A community theater production of Legally blonde would put on a better production and would most definitely be a huge upgrade in acting ability. This show will not last!

If you are courageous enough to see past the 3 first episodes (now I'm watching the 6th) you might find yourself relaxing while let it play on a big screen TV.

This isn't by any means a show worth watching, but I wouldn't call it terrible. The humour is silly (or worst) but here and there, there are some good almost clever jokes.

The plot? It's about two actresses turned to some kind of detectives. Too flamboyant and too naive but they get the job done in the end.

Overall: can't recommend it, but I don't think anyone should hate it either. It is what it is and it's honest to its intentions.

It's almost a shame you can't give this show a minus rating. If any shows deserves such a rating, it is this one!

The only mystery about this show is how on earth it got picked up in the first place. It's almost like something 2 friends will come up with on a Saturday night on the sofa whilst drunk.

I tend to give most pilots a fair shot. I will watch them all the way through before figuring out if this is for me or not, but I just couldn't get past the halfway stage on this one. It is quite simply one of the worst "comedies" I have ever witnessed.

I don't think even think it can be classed as a comedy, as it's simply not remotely funny. I don't really know what it is. Other than a complete waste of space.

Please do yourself a favour; AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Wow, this was worse than I could have ever imagined. I watched the pilot which didn't explain much in the way of setting, plot and characters. There was a major lack of "mystery" or anything detective related, in fact when met with anything remotely close to solving something, they were both dumbfounded. I found this show to elevate the "dumb blonde" stereotype and I wouldn't want any girl to watch it, for fear they may be influenced. Just bad all around, bad writing, acting and forced jokes. The addition of fake laughter for every bad joke was over the top. Making it through the pilot was painful, I would be surprised if this show continued.

Firstly, anyone who criticizes multi-camera sitcoms for having "fake laughs" knows nothing about how television gets made. Mystery Girls is taped in front of a studio audience. Real laughs from real people. If you think laughter is "fake," then you're probably the kind of joyless person who watches a lot of television by yourself with your hand down your pants.

On to the show, if you're open minded, pop-culture obsessed, and you enjoy multi-cam sitcoms, you will probably enjoy MG. If you're all of those things AND a 90210 fan from the 90s, this show is made for you. It's comfort television. Turn off your brain for 30 minutes and relax - you're in good hands. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how dirty and fun this show can be (definitely not for kids) - Miguel Pinzon is genuinely hysterical as the fan turned assistant.

While the premise of a "TV" detective turned detective isn't entirely original (see Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel's hilarious one-and-done Lookwell pilot starring Adam West from 1991, on YouTube), the execution and style of MG is completely its own.

And finally, watch with real friends. TV is meant to be shared.
