First of all "Jack & Jill" gave me a really bad first impression with it's pilot. For starters Jack's saying that her wedding was like from a fairy tale, but not in a good sence- that if you think about it all fairy tales don't start off that good- someone cuts down your beanstalk or you eat a poison apple. Well Jack must have never read any classic fairy tales because the story of Jack and the Beanstalk _ends_ with the beanstalk being cut down. And Snow White ate the poison apple towards the _end_ of the fairy tale. I hate things like that, when people try to come up with witty lines that come out so idiotic (Dan Quayle of course is the champion at this). The beginning was also similar to the first episode of Friends- rich girl leaves guy at wedding day and runs off to New York City and finds friend she hasn't seen in long time who wasn't invited to the wedding. Yep, that's more or less what the first Friends episode was about. Other than that the jokes tend to be unoriginal, the type you've heard all before. And for once I would like to see a non-goodlooking friend of very good looking Jack and Jill. Then of course there is the entire idea of the -name switch-. A girl called Jack, short for Jacqueline I can understand, but Jill for a guy, that's just rather pathetic. Quite a letdown for me.
