Come on, let's save the world-- AGAIN!
On October 20, 2001, Mary-Kate and Ashley in Action premiered on the ABC block Disney's One Saturday Morning (according to Wikipedia, but we know it from ABC Family). The show was the first and only animated television series starring Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and featured the twins fighting crime around the world with their robot dog, Quincy. Neither Becca nor Lani ever watched this show, mainly because it was marketed towards little children, but also because it didn't seem very good. Now, we see if we were right.
Today we talk about the pilot episode, "SPF 5000," which we both watched for the very first time. And let's just say... we had some disagreements. Becca came at this review more level headed and Lani, being overworked and sleep deprived, was way more amused by the entire episode than any 30-something watching a Mary-Kate and Ashley cartoon should be.
We discuss our initial impressions, our hopes and fears for future episodes, and even figure out this cartoon's place in the greater Mary-Kate and Ashley Universe. We also share our recent experiences at the Taylor Swift and Beyonce concerts, and explain why this episode isn't about the Barbie movie.
So strap into your government funded airboat and pack your stinky ass cheese, because we're going on a cartoon ride for the next few weeks, and its gonna get weird!
