"So Little Time" was a sitcom starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen that aired on ABC Family Channel. The first half of the series aired from June 2, 2001 to August 15, 2001. The series then went on a four-month hiatus, due to network management changes. By December 2001, Fox Family had become ABC Family, and the remaining episodes aired until May 4, 2002.

ynopsis

Life is anything but boring for the Carlson twins, Riley (Mary-Kate Olsen) and Chloe (Ashley Olsen), whose parents have amicably separated, but still live "within a stone’s throw" from each other in Malibu.

Their mother and father previously ran a highly-successful fashion label together for years until Jake underwent a mid-life crisis. In the spirit of finding himself, he moved to a trailer, overlooking his former Malibu beach-front home.

Being teenagers, Riley and Chloe are not immune to the trials and tribulations that come with school; family; friends; and boys. Another complex factor in the girls' lives is their parents keeping everyone on their toes, wondering whether they’ll get back together or not. For the most part, it seems like they'll remain amiable friends, who live to drive each other just a little crazy.

Broadcasting

It was announced that Canadian broadcaster The Family Channel began airing reruns of the series. They aired weekdays at 6:00pm, but stopped on June 28, 2007, and were replaced by Zoey 101. In the U.K., the show aired on BBC One, and on the "Children's Channel" CBBC. Some episodes had a shorter running time than others because of the removal of the "behind-the-scenes" featurettes.

Later in the series, the show starts with the crew wandering around the set, with the camera following them. They talk about current events, such as the birthday of an actor on the set. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appear in this segment mostly.

A short "behind-the-scenes" featurette was sometimes included at the end of an episode as well. Although retained on the Warner Brothers DVD releases, these were always edited out of the U.K. terrestrial transmissions.

Episode list

Only twenty-six episodes of the show were created, and they never received high Nielsen ratings. The show was criticized for having an odd plot, an occasional laugh track, and unoriginal humor.Mary-Kate and Ashley were offered a second season of the show, but declined.Fact|date=February 2008
