Mystery Girls

This was hands down the worst pilot i have ever seen. I had read the comments but saw it anyway thinking "come on it couldn't be THAT bad".. it was even worse.... So first of all.. TERRIBLE terrible terrible writing. Not just terrible writing, but a terrible IDEA too!! They could have the best actors saying those lines and they still would sound awful. So i am not even sure it is fair to judge the rest, but i will since they agreed to participate in what can only turn out as to be THE career wrecking series.. The acting itself was terrible. Disappointed and there was no chemistry at all between the 2 leading actresses. Oh and did i mention there was nothing interesting going on ? too bad...

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.

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!

I'm really pulling for this show to make it. It's quirky and cute and I just enjoy watching Tori Spelling. I think it's because I feel like I know her after getting hooked on Tori and Dean several years ago. She feels like family and I just want good things for her. That said, the show is still a little rough. I actually liked the pilot (which aired this week) better than the three episodes that aired first. It seems like Tori and Miguel decided to kick their flamboyance up a notch after recording the pilot. I understand that their characters are supposed to be over the top; but it's a little too much, even for a serious Tori fan. I will keep watching and I hope you do, too. It really is a lot of fun.

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.
