Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Unlike last month's ABC Family misfire "Make It or Break It," 10 Things contains clever dialogue that's rooted in its characters.

A new audience will enjoy this smart series, which makes light of the eternal hell of high school.

So while the checklist of assets might not add up to 10, there are several things to like about this series, which bodes well for its desire--shared by TV and teenagers--to become popular.

Shakespeare might be turning in his grave, but he's probably got a smile on his face while doing it.
Read Full Review >Entertainment WeeklyKen Tucker
While Bianca is the status-conscious, superficial center of the show, Martin makes her kinda sweet, and Shaw is downright excellent as the status-hating, politically aware Kat.

10 Things is silly, mindless fun and the actors are all terrific in that silly, mindless fun way that Disney teens tend to be.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley
The movie has such cult status that it seems almost sacrilege to tamper with it for television, but as a series 10 Things is not terrible; it is even at times fun. It’s just not very inventive.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
It's hard to say from one episode how the transition from movie to series will go, but producers have populated the show's Padua High--yes, the Shakespeare jokes just keep on coming--with interesting enough kids to make 10 Things a more than watchable high school show, anyway.

Not much interesting going on here, although it can be intriguing to watch an old-fashioned-style sitcom shoehorned into the Gossip Girl age, as ABC Family continues to try to be relevant yet family-friendly.

True and accurate depiction of high school, funny characters, some very easy to relate to. As a teen, I say this show represents us well.
anonymous gave it a1:
Its boing. its been 3 episodes and nothing has happened. the movie is so much better. the movies cast is better. RIP Heath Ledger. the guy playing partrick is terrible. this show is boring and should be careful. the only thing amusing about this show is how sad and desperate meaghan martin is to be popular. this show is awful.
Sarah gave it a10:
I was hesitant at first, especially since I absolutely love the original. The pilot was a little rough yet intriguing. The second episode, though, took away all my doubts. This will be one of the few shows I actually watch every week, and it is only the second show that I frequent the message boards.
Emily B gave it an8:
Bianca's story is entertaining, while Kat has nothing interesting going on. I still thought it was pretty good though. Can't wait to see more!
Hannah gave it a3:
I just don't like how they think they can replace the movie and so many aspects of it have been screwed up that I just can't appreciate it. Long live Heath Ledger.
Rukia K gave it a5:
I thought it was okay, but not as good as I wanted it to be. Since the movie is based off The taming of the shrew, the show should have something to do with the movie. Like the fact that Patrick was payed to date Kat. In the show, he liked her first moment he saw her. I didn't like that all. But, whatever. Hopefully it gets better.
Candi S gave it a10:
Loved it!! Can't wait to see more, especially the guys!
