Mary Kate and Ashley in Action

Post Reply New Topic

This has got to be one of the worst cartoons ever made. I saw it for the first time years ago on CITV and again on Nickelodeon and I actually like it but I would have liked anything back then. Years ago they showed it on Popgirl and are currently showing it again and then and now I think it's stupid but watchable because it's stupid, kinda like how the Nostalgia Critic feels about The Room and Dungeons and Dragons. FYI I'm a 24 year old male so please don't ask question like why I would watch Popgirl because I kinda don't know myself, guess I'm just a little curious.

For those of you who don't know Mary Kate and Ashley in Action was an animated series back in 2001-2002 starring the Olsen twins as themselves aliases Special Agents Misty and Amber who work for an organisation known as Headquarters(there was never actually a name) and are assigned to solve mysteries around the world. They would go up against lame villains and stop them from accomplicing their lame evil schemes like when some dude was stealing elephants(I can't remember why) and there was this one recurring villain who had an obsession with cheese and had stupid evil schemes like kidnapping a Steve Irwin like tv celebrity and replacing his show with something cheese like and apparantly thats "really bad". I have alot to say about the villains but I'll just leave it there and talk about something else.

The twins also had a robot terrier dog who talked with a scottish accent with them named Quincy. He's more annoying than Scrappy Doo but he's always their to "educate the audience" with dumb things like mathamatics, aquatic life and certain landmarks in countries(if you've seen the show then you will probably know what I'm talking about).

There was also reapeatative stuff going on in the show like annoying split screens and reapeating a scene when their doing the split screen thing and the background music was kinda annoying. I'll leave it at that for now and will probably say more about it in the future. I would like to hear what you think about it, mostly what you hate and if you remember certain episodes and characters and dumbass moments.

Mary Kate and Ashley productions are so unnecessary they're riveting. Someone thought it would be a good idea to put them in yet another show or movie but didn't have an idea of what to have them do besides be twins. You have to watch to see how they'll pull off this dramatic arc.

There was one movie about them at the beach being twins. Then there was that show about them being twins.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to ask - out of curiosity, why would a 24-year-old male such as yourself watch Popgirl?

Yes everything about them sucks. Except this:

The one I liked is where they are twins and one of them is rich and the other is an orphan. They switch lives and the evil woman the father of them is going to marry is going to send them away when she marries him so they have to stop him. I loved when the helicopter came and took the rich kid out of the junk yard.

It's a shame this monsterous show isn't more well known because I would totally love Family Guy or Robot Chicken to make fun of this show and point out it's bad points.

Also they keep saying 'hmm' alot and I mean a lot. It's just so annoying. They always stop the villains in ridiculous ways and never arrest them for some reason. Why don't they carry guns or raise a fist now and then? Yeah I know it's a kids show but even the Totally Spies despite how ridiculous they're weapons were were still weapons.

Just watch these episodes and tell me if I'm wrong about the things I've said.
