10 Things I Hate About You is an American television situation comedy broadcast on ABC Family in 2009.[1] The series premiered on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 8 pm. According to E! Online, 10 Things was renewed for an additional 10 episodes, which will premiere in early 2010. [2] It will start airing in 2009 on Disney Channel in The Netherlands.
[edit] OverviewThe show is a half-hour, single camera series based on the 1999 film of the same name, originally based on the Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew. The Stratford sisters, Bianca (Meaghan Jette Martin) and Kat (Lindsey Shaw), have very different goals. At their new high school, it's clear that one sister wants to stand out and the other just wants to fit in. Kat is a cool, intelligent, strong-willed, forthright feminist who is looking to save the world and get out of school as fast as she can. But when she meets the intense Patrick Verona (Ethan Peck), sparks begin to fly. Bianca is a social butterfly whose main goal in life is to be popular, but when the head cheerleader makes her the mascot, she realizes she has a long way to go. As they start a bumpy year at Padua High, Kat and Bianca attempt to navigate the popular crowd, boys and their over-protective dad (Larry Miller, who also was in the movie). Bianca tries everything to become popular and in the end she realizes that the way to become popular is by just being yourself and not following everyone around and trying to become like them. On June 30, 2009, iTunes made the premiere episode available for free, a week before the series' premiere. [edit] Reception10 Things has received a score of 67 out of 100 from review aggregator Metacritic.[3] Several critics praised the series for containing clever dialogue and appealing and rooted characters.[4][5] Brian Lowry of Variety described the show as "a solid roll for the cable network that was once an albatross around the neck of parent Disney".[6] One critic proclaimed the series as "best thing that ABC Family has ever produced".[7] Randee Dawn of The Hollywood Reporter thought that the series "has genuine appeal".[8] Less favorable reviews came from Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times, who called the series "not very inventive",[9] and The New York Post, whose mixed review concluded that the show is "silly, mindless fun" whose "actors are all terrific in that silly, mindless fun way that Disney teens tend to be".[10] [edit] Cast[edit] Main characters
