I Kind Of Want My Time Back...

This show isn't ALL that bad, but it has been done before. There are 4friends...2 are the couple, and the other 2 are good friends who areopposite sexes and will likely end up together, and then there are allsorts of random hookups and talking about them with each other,vividly, after. Big surprise, right? Another show about mostly selfishpeople in their 20s, who have some seemingly charming traits maskingtheir lack of direction (e.g., "I'm going to look for her on craigslistmissed connections"). EDIT; The last few episodes have improved and the characters are actinglike real young adult human beings. It is very watchable at this point,although it has still been done before.

Outstanding

Sharp, funny, clever show. I loved Tina and Kent the intern, both werevery funny together!!! The show depicts a lot of the modern angst of20-something kids trying to succeed in a difficult world today givencareer issues, down economy, looking for love, being on your own, etc.But it did so in a very sharp witted way, making it very entertaining.For example, Jason telling an elderly man sitting in a chair on thesidewalk that he has a "hot date", and the man expectorating to theground in response--funny. You really see all the foibles of uncertaindecisions made by the characters in terms of who/how to fall in love,but you are really rooting for Jason, Tina, and Kent the intern tosucceed in their quests.

Improving

First of all, I started to watch this show without any expectations,only for easy entertainment. I liked the basic idea of the show, andall the simplicity of the sentence "I just want my pants back" soundedgood to me. Maybe it's way too similar to How I Met Your Mother, but Istill like it. The story had potential, but in the first some episodes,they've ruined it. The acting was poor, the hand recorded footage weretoo unfocused and so... I didn't really see the future in the show, butI gave it another go. And so I was right. The actors got way better,they started to build their own characters, and so the story got backto the main topic, with short side-stories. I think that's all I wantfrom this show, to be simple and entertaining. So I Just Want My PantsBack is good for a teenage easy entertainment TV show, and if they'llput in the effort, and get all the potential out of the story, then itcan be a very good production, that we will remember in the future.

Also, there are short clips of songs with info on the artists - kind oflike annoying two second music videos in the middle of the show. It hassome okay, if not mostly clichéd writing (women are sexual, sure, butthe women in this show jump men like crazy high school boys, it'salmost laughable at times), and also, the actors/actresses involved aredecent, which are its main saving graces. For MTV, it's pretty solid,but it's more of a bored soap opera than anything substantial.
