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...

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.

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.

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!

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.
