    I Just Want My Pants Back is easily the channel's best effort since plunging into the scripted business, a smart and funny look at a group adept at orchestrating hookups but with few genuine connections.

    It opens into a fairly entertaining ensemble show about beautiful, bright people.

    While not quite as inspired as last year's breakthrough comedy Awkward, MTV's Pants appears to have legs.

    They're a bit too cute. Yet behind all the hipster wordplay, the characters are strangely charming.

    Some of this show is funny, but you may want to put paper down on your couch to keep you from catching an STD.

    The laughs are here, some a little on the cheap side, but no more often than cheap laughs pop up in real life. Otherwise, by early indications, Pants makes us care about its characters.

    Pants hits the tube already out of style.

    On the bright side, It's exactly what the producers wanted. It's just like the twenty something kids I went to art school with (as a returning student). Unfortunately, twenty somethings aren't even interesting to each other, let alone anyone else.. seriously, mtv, hipsters just want desperately to fit in without without looking like it's the only thing they think about, and that's not enough meat to hang a show on. There's a reason that shows about life before being forced to join the ranks of the working class, and shows about desperately wanting out of it after getting your fill work better. Because everything that happens in the between time is largely forgettable. I wouldn't ask any of these people how their day went for fear they might actually tell me, so I definitely don't want to spend time watching it. I only tuned in because the title sounded fun. Tuning out now.… Full Review »
