What I Say
The WB is trying to build a 90s ABC-like TGIF. They've got Sabrina following. I'm glad Jennie Garth is back on TV. Anyone else find it amusing that she's playing a character named Valerie? That was her nemesis' character on 90210.
My Analysis & Prediction
Full. I expect this to do reasonably well, but I'm curious why "Sabrina" isn't the lead-in: That would give "What I Like..." a nice hammock between it and "Reba." This is going to soldify the WB comedy Friday, albeit with smaller numbers than the Big 4.
What They Say
Talk about your built-in fan base. Like "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch's" Melissa Joan Hart, Amanda Bynes has quite the Nickelodeon following. In this comedy, she plays Holly, a 16-year-old free spirit who turns her straitlaced big sister's life upside down when she goes to live with her in New York.

With her unique gift for physical comedy, Amanda Bynes (The Amanda Show) follows her recent big-screen success in Big Fat Liar by teaming up with star Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills, 90210) in this new comedy about two young women who push their sisterly relationship to the limits by becoming roommates. When their dad takes a job in Japan, 16-year-old live-wire Holly (Bynes) ends up moving in with her strait-laced 28-year-old sister Valerie (Garth) in New York City...
