Jack & 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 absolutely LOVE this show. I only stumbled upon it about a month ago and I must have watched about 20 episodes or more because it is on every day here in Malta. I enjoy all the cast. I identify with alot of the script especially with Sara Poulson's. I find I have alot in common with Jack (especially the way she likes to be in control). I find the script very touching and true to life alot of the time. There was one particular episode where I actually found myself writing some of the script down because of how astute the 'moral of the story' was.

Jack and Jill make a really cute couple. (Ivan Sergei is totally cute and knows it of course!) The whole New York way of life just really gives me good all over feeling and puts me on a high ... doing the laundry on the weekends, hanging out with the gals, flat sharing ...there's a happiness about it that is contagious and makes me smile.

When I switched on the TV yesterday and noticed it was not showing I was positively upset - It felt like a big part of my day was missing. I would really look forward to drving home from work knowing I was going to watch it. I know it sounds quite pathetic but I truly had grown accustomed to the show and would get all ready for it, cup of tea in hand at 8pm everyday. I hope the scriptwriter comes up many more shows - at least another season's worth. There's lots more that could be said and done yet...

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 was sitting in front of my TV on Sunday night watching Felicity, and I see that this new show is on after it. So, I think, "I don't want to watch another of these new romance shows," so of course I watched anyway. I start watching the show, and I realize that all the scenery looks familiar. If you watch carefully, the church is from 7th Heaven, the bar looks like it's from Felicity, a lot of the outside buildings look like they're from Friends! So, besides that Jack & Jill is a really interesting show. I'd like to keep watching to see what happens!

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!
