Pretty Little Liars - The Official Site

I found myself yelling at the tv, quite often. I know tv shows or movies are never the same as the books, but you could at least try! First I think the actress you have playing Hanna should be playing Spencer. Spencer is supposed to be blonde. Second, why is it only one year later? The whole point of the book is that it was 3 years later. And the fact that the girls are talking to each other. They hardly speak in the books, they are DISTANT from each other. And finding Allison's body and telling each other about A's notes and stuff to each other is too much for the first episode.

Well i was really confused its supposed to be 3 years not 1 year my sister was like theyre in 8th grade?! and i was like no they're supposed to bein like 10th-11th grade but the part i liked was the funeral it was my favorite part aand ohmygod Jenna she looks what i expected

Posted by Shannon on June 09, 2010 at 03:04 PM EDT #

I dunno....my favorite part was when Hanna was eating cookies and Ali was telling her to stop and then Ian and Melissa came in and you could feel the tension in the room....and then all of a sudden Ali started up something and Spencer and began to argue....btw, i like the actress of Melissa....

Posted by Nicki on June 09, 2010 at 03:05 PM EDT #

I think the premiere was great. Livie, I know Spencer is suppose to be blond as well as Emily. But I think they did a great job with casting. All the girl really make their characters believable. I think the one year mark is a great place to start. It keep everything fresh while everyone gets to one the casting and the plot of the series. And Ali's death is still fresh for everyone in Rosewood.

Posted by Nadia on June 09, 2010 at 03:07 PM EDT #

My favorite parts are the interactions between Aria and Ezra. I think their relationship is going to be very intriguing.

Posted by Rosie on June 09, 2010 at 03:11 PM EDT #

i cant wait till next show i keep thinking and rosewood pen is a real place i think this is a true story alli is so sneaky if it is her i think it isnt her its someone that wants to get back at them hehe

Posted by diala on June 09, 2010 at 03:16 PM EDT #

I liked the part when I turned off my TV.

IF U HAVENT READ WANTED THERE MAY B SUM SPOLILERS!!!!! DNT REED!!!!**********************************************************************well i really didn't like how mona wasn't blonde so that would actually say that ali was in her old house watching spencer! so some of the changes were wrong and sometimes i confuse emily for spencer!! and i love the girl who plays ali (courtney) soooo ya thats all...

Posted by Sarah on June 09, 2010 at 03:20 PM EDT #

EMILY IS NOT BLONDE! SHE IS A REDHEAD!

Posted by Justine on June 09, 2010 at 03:21 PM EDT #

Posted by Sarah on June 09, 2010 at 03:22 PM EDT #

okaay... i think that the casting of maya was perfect, and i like the actor who plays spencer but SHE IS NOT BLONDE!!!! They could have at least tryed to get them to look alike. Like dye their hair or something. Also, id just like to note that that was pretty much the whole first book, but i guess they needed to introduce everyone. I liked it, and i think the actors will grow on me, but spencer and Allie look nothing alike which will totally cause problems later. But it doesnt mater if i like it or not, 'cause i will watch it anyway. Once u've read the books, u have to see what the interpitation on them are.

Posted by claudia on June 09, 2010 at 03:29 PM EDT #

random but im lovein hannas bag right now...

Posted by sarah on June 09, 2010 at 03:43 PM EDT #

Spencer reminded me of what Mona should have looked like,and I don't get it they pretty much did the whole first book as one episode. Im going out to buy Wanted today can't wait to read it!!!

Posted by Jess on June 09, 2010 at 03:50 PM EDT #

well what i really liked through out the whole show was all the suspense with all the little notes the girls were getting not knowing whats goin on. The whole time the whole plot kept me on my toes. Not knowing what move they are gonna make next. I have`nt gotten to read the books yet..but these series are sure on the top of my "To Be Read" list i cant wait to see what goes on! ?

Posted by Patty! on June 09, 2010 at 03:59 PM EDT #

i haven't read any of the books yet and i don't plan on it because i don't want it to ruin the series for me. my favorite part though would probably be A sending those little notes and texts to all the girls. the anticipation until the next episode is killing me. its going to be a great show i think!

Posted by emily on June 09, 2010 at 04:00 PM EDT #

OKay Patty and Emily!! You GUYSS GOTTA read the book because it is way way way better.... Ther is 8 books and they all are good. The Show os Okay But if you were to read da book it doesnt really ruin da show.

Posted by Lanea on June 09, 2010 at 04:39 PM EDT #

LMAO @Justine...that's something i would say...hehe

Posted by Nicki on June 09, 2010 at 04:59 PM EDT #

I haven't read the books yet, but I am definately going to. :) My favorite part was probably when Hanna and Mona were all "I like your scarf" "And I like your glasses". It made me laugh. I am SSSOOOO gonna keep watching the series becuase it keeps me on my toes. In one word: Awesome. :)

Posted by Kriss on June 09, 2010 at 05:01 PM EDT #

I totally agree with the first comment! it should NOT be one year later. Spencer and Emily need to be blonde. Spencer and Ali need to look alike because its not going to make sense later on. And why are the girls all buddy buddy with each other? They are totally not close in the first book. So far the tv series is way too different from the books and its really bothering me!

Posted by Kathleen on June 09, 2010 at 05:10 PM EDT #

Check out Entertainment Weekly, It gives you all the clues how Sue coverted the novel series into the TV series. It explains the Spencer and Emily not being blonde. http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/06/08/pretty-little-liars-cast-interview/

Posted by Nadia on June 09, 2010 at 05:35 PM EDT #

Well, it was okay. It bothered me that Hanna was blonde and looked a lot like Ali. That should be Spencer. And it should follow the book time line more closely. Those are kind of big details but the show was good and I will keep watching it! Ezra is waaaaay cute too! ;)

Posted by I <3Ezra_222 on June 09, 2010 at 05:37 PM EDT #

I thought they moved WAAAY too fast...they've already finished the whole book, and that was only the pilot episode! I like the actresses so I don't really mind that they look different, but I think they could create more suspense by slowing it down with more detail, sticking closer to the plot (such as having the girls be strangers at first), and then keep the time difference at 3 years...that's kind of the whole point of what's happening.

Posted by Megan on June 09, 2010 at 05:40 PM EDT #

I really liked it actually :) I thought it moved to fast too but i would watch it again again (actually i just saw it again tonight , i was stoooocccked) Anyway they were a few things i didn't like , for example , Melissa is supposed to have a blond bob and she seemed a little to old to be with Wren. I think Spencer was actually perfect , she reminds me of the Spencer on the cover a bit and i'm not sure why. I didn't like how all the girls were pretty much friends in the show too , like Spencer and Hanna were talking like they were still friends , even tho they indicated that they weren't. Ezra and Aria's kisses were verrrry sloppy. And! They only did two flash backs , Spencer and Aria's. They forgot about Hanna's pucking and Emily's kiss with Ali! Did anyone else notice that it was Toby who was with Jenna at the funral too? And when Spencer looked back at her , Jenna was stairing right at her!!! :O

Posted by Izzy on June 09, 2010 at 05:50 PM EDT #

Also , if you didn't read the books it would be hard to follow don't you think? Me and my friend watched it over the phone together and when something wasn't right we would point it out :). When it was over tho my other friend texted me with a bunch of questions because she never read the book. I think they should have done more flash backs and showed a bit more of Hanna and Mona , but over all very very good show :)

Posted by Izzy on June 09, 2010 at 05:52 PM EDT #

I was so angry! I can't believe they couldn't even get the hair color right for the characters. Emily's hair is blondish ginger...she gets greenish hair from swimming. Spencer is supposed to have dirty blond hair...Aria's character is fine..pretty good. Hanna is supposed to have dyed auburn hair...and Mona is supposed to be a blond! How are they going to fix this?! Jenna is supposed to be a blond. Ian is supposed to be a blond...how is this going to work? They couldn't even do a three year thing? It makes it more dramatic being 3 years! Books are wayyyy better, but what did we expect? I'm highly disapointed....

Posted by Lizzie on June 09, 2010 at 05:55 PM EDT #

Okay well I Loved everything about it Hahaha i Recorded that 1 episode and watched it over and over again (Crazy Ha) well idk i like it when they kept on recieving text's from "-A".and all that I LOVE ALL OF IT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK;)

Posted by janelle on June 09, 2010 at 06:11 PM EDT #

Oh yeah and the THING that Scared me was that "JENNA THING"!!!:)

Posted by janelle on June 09, 2010 at 06:13 PM EDT #

Can people stop commenting about how the cast HAIR is different it's hair and we all know the movie or tv show is never the exact same as the book like wat if they couldn't find a red head that could play the part of emily so stop COMPLAINING anyways fav part the window seen omg that part had me on the egde of my seat I thought the finding the body and stuff was perfection for the first episode I'm craving for more and also I liked the part of the funeral it was great and emotional lol I'm defintly gonna keep watching oh and i luv allison character she is so pretty

Posted by Secret on June 09, 2010 at 06:28 PM EDT #

Hey Guyzzz!! ok i agree with 'secret' The Hair of the actor REALLY DOESNT MATTER!! its how the actors portray the character they are playing that matters!!! Ok so I really liked all the flashbacks! Ali's character looked just as i pictured her!!! Aria was done well, and I CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE OF MIKE BECAUSE I HAVE A HUGE PASSION FOR HIS CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK... I AM GOING TO MARRY MIKE MONTGOMERY!!! So moving a bit off of the subject, I finished wanted today and i wanted to say WELL DONE SARA!!! The ending was SO GOOOODDDD and so remote that i NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED!! im not going to talk about it because i know that even if i were to put spoiler in front, that just adds curiosity and attention to what i am going to say... so anyway... it was really good!!! xxxxoooo

Posted by EMMA on June 09, 2010 at 06:47 PM EDT #

O and for the first comment it was one year later because they couldnt make the actresses look THAT MUCH YOUNGER... thanks... i think im done now...

Posted by EMMA on June 09, 2010 at 06:49 PM EDT #

i like all the actresses even though they dont really match but i HATE Ali. shes wayy too innocent. she wont be able to pull off the evil-ness and bitchiness. my favorite part was probably the funeral- it was really good with all of them talking exactly as they did in the book and the part when Jenna comes in. was that Toby with her? Because they made a big deal about Jenna and nothing about the person with her..

Posted by Jillian on June 09, 2010 at 07:04 PM EDT #

@EMMA, a agree with your second comment.

Posted by Jillian on June 09, 2010 at 07:05 PM EDT #

So I finished Wanted to day! It was amazing and a real page turner:) Sara did a great job!!!!!! *Spoiler*She should come up with a spin off over Ali's "new" life! As for the show, I thought it was equally amazing and that it has lots of potential! Even though the characters don't look like they do in the book they were obviously picked because they were the best actors to portray the characters! So I can't wait to see how the season goes! I think it'll be pretty good! :)

Posted by Aubree on June 09, 2010 at 07:11 PM EDT #

So I heard that the first season is going to be over the first four books...So how is that going to work out? Isn't that going a little too fast?

Posted by J on June 09, 2010 at 07:16 PM EDT #

Haven't read the books, but looks like an intriguing tale. Only regret is I have to return to the UK next week! Hope it airs there some time....

Posted by Andre on June 09, 2010 at 07:18 PM EDT #

I thghout the show was asome but I find it really creey and I really wanted to know who was the blind one ? because she loook questionabal to me :) if I could rate this show it would be a 92%

Posted by Holly on June 09, 2010 at 07:24 PM EDT #

I was yelling at the TV A LOT!!! But, it was still pretty good the only major problem was Ian who HAS to be blonde!!!!! He just HAS to because the whole murder case revolves around seeing a "blonde flash of hair" ughhh

Posted by Sydney on June 09, 2010 at 07:26 PM EDT #

OMG....okay so if people have not read the books and watched the show decide to read the books i think they will be very confused. I was yelling at my TV for like the whole show. My friend looked at me like i was crazy! Anyways i think the hair matters cuz honestly I am going to keep thinkin Hanna is Spencer and Spencer is Hanna. I dont like the fact that Emily is brunette, tan and girly instead of reddish hair, pale and swimmer body! It had way too much in the first episode, gosh there is only 8 books. IDK i was not impressed at all and im really disappointed!!!!!

Posted by Nicole on June 09, 2010 at 07:43 PM EDT #

I'm reading these comments...and i agree with all of you...but for crying out loud, EMILY IS NOT A BLONDE....she is a red-head....and @Secret did you even read the books?

Posted by Nicki on June 09, 2010 at 07:47 PM EDT #

So what if the characters are different? Be glad they made the book into a tv show and stop complaining you tweens! I love the whole series, and I LOVE the show, if theyre diffenret so be it, the show is totally awesome, let the experts decide what is best for the show, not you tweenies.

Posted by Julia on June 09, 2010 at 07:57 PM EDT #

the show was really good, different from the books but still good!! I have to say my favorite part was of a flashback, when they made Mona look really really dorky!! :P lol i just love how they did that!!

Posted by Diannaa on June 09, 2010 at 07:57 PM EDT #

ooo all these wonderful stufgff bout the books im soo gonna goo read it i cant wait till i start..lol the show looks great i betchu the books are amazing

Posted by Patty! on June 09, 2010 at 08:08 PM EDT #

I watched the show...nothing like i expected...i agree with Nicki...and i also love all the characters, especially Holly Marie Combs...i haven't seen her since Charmed ended...i'm planning to get Wanted and Sweet Deceit sometime this week...i heard they are great...@Julia i think the age to read this is 12 and up....i never even heard of the word "tweenies" before....and we are fans of the book and show...we are just dissapointed on how the cast came out....i like them all, but now i don't even know if Emily i Spencer and if Spencer is an extra....Emily should be Spencer....she's the prettiest in my opinion.

Posted by Brittany on June 09, 2010 at 08:08 PM EDT #

Hi!I <3 Hanna

Posted by Alycia on June 09, 2010 at 08:17 PM EDT #

Omg i saw an add for this show on Seventeen mag and i was like "oh i would want to watch that it looks interesting" but when it first primeired...I MISSED IT because i had a soccer practice!!! i was soo angrey and now i'm lost and i didnt know there was a book! So now i must read the books!! ..lol can anyone tell a little bit of what happened on the first episode for me pleasee

Posted by nina on June 09, 2010 at 08:17 PM EDT #

Okay so I have 3 questions who's Ian, Toby and Mona ? btw I love the show I have to read the books which I am -.- My favorite part was the hot teacher grabbing Aria I love them both haha<3

Posted by Em on June 09, 2010 at 08:24 PM EDT #

@alycia I did also but I looked it up on the computer try this http://www.megavideo.com/?c=premium&l=1

Posted by Em on June 09, 2010 at 08:26 PM EDT #

I haven't read the whole series (yet) but, that was pretty good. The girls look nothing like the actual actors but, anyway I thought that was a pretty good show. SPOILER ALERT! I still can't get whether it was really Alison (the real Alison) texting them. And if Courtney had a metal problem then how did she act like a normal person? And if Alison was stuck in that metal place then why couldn't she demand to have a DNA test for something to prove that she was Alison and not Courtney? And I still can't figure out how Jenna could be blinded by them. I've only read a few of the books. Pretty Little Liars (what I think a text from Alison should be): You poor pretty little liars. :( Don't worry, it'll all end soon. You think you're so hot. You will be. That should be before the fire explodes the house.

Posted by PPL Fan on June 09, 2010 at 08:32 PM EDT #

Soooo I do not think Allyson i think that is how you spell her name she is not dead she killed Jenna and died her hair blonde to look like her and jenna would not show up at the fureneral cause of what allyson did to her and when Jenna/Allyson was sitting in the seat during the funeral you know how she is blind and everything she was starring at spencer hannah emily and aria and i thought she was blind or it was jenna who killed allyson and she was just going there to celebrate that she was dead!!

Posted by Kelsea on June 09, 2010 at 08:33 PM EDT #

Yes I know the actresses didnt look anything like their supposed to except for Aria and Allyson, But I think the actresses look prettier than what they are supposed to look like. Maya, Mona, Ezra, Ella, and Mike Montgomery look exactly how I pictured them. I like how Emily is a darker more exotic looking girl...they needed somebody like that amongst the four main characters. But in the flashback when Allyson almost spilled Spencer's secret, Hannah wasnt fat at all. They could have at least put a fat belly on her or something. However I absolutely love love love the show so far and I cant wait for next week.

Posted by Sophia on June 09, 2010 at 08:45 PM EDT #

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS!! I have not read the books but I am going crazy! SOmeone just unleash all the details on me, PLEASE!

Posted by Vanney on June 09, 2010 at 08:49 PM EDT #

I am dying to know what happened so i went on itunes and you can download i think the first episode for free! it on the free section on the itunes store. I'm getting it to know what happened in the first episode because i (of course) missed it and have not read the books!! i will read them now but by FAVORITE books are The Morganville Vampire series by rachel caine...idk if Pretty Little liars can top that

Posted by Nina on June 09, 2010 at 08:56 PM EDT #

Alli is still alive and killed ............. you just have to read the books they are really good though soo you will not be board

Posted by Kelsea on June 09, 2010 at 09:04 PM EDT #

I don't get how the Ali's family recognized the dead body, but she's alive? How did that happen?

Posted by Flavia on June 09, 2010 at 09:09 PM EDT #

I don't understand. Maybe because I didn't read the book.... What happened to Jenna!? And Ali is still alive?! I gotta read the books! But 2 much in one episode! Did Jenna commit the murder!? What is the Jenna thing?! But in the beginning Allison says. Its secrets that keeps us close...... Did Spencer see Hanna and not Ali? Ali is pretty evil though............... My favorite part was the beginning.

Posted by Lauren on June 09, 2010 at 09:23 PM EDT #

I thought they did a great job putting this series into a tv show, the casting was good, but maybe not exactly for this show, i didnt like how it was 1 year later, it didnt show how much the girls had changed because it was a shorter time than the book. Also, maybe the finding of alison's body in the first episode was a bit much.

Posted by Julie on June 09, 2010 at 09:28 PM EDT #

ALI KILL ALI...

Posted by Andrea on June 09, 2010 at 09:28 PM EDT #

Something that bothers me, and it isn't even about the show, but I REALLY think that the actors/actresses should read the books. I read an interview where some of them said they didn't even read the books and I think that if they're gonna be in a tv show about the series, they should actually read the series. Anybody with me?

Posted by PrettyLittleObsessed on June 09, 2010 at 09:31 PM EDT #

I thought the same thing as Kelsea! I swear 2 God! Well the Hear dying thing

Posted by Lauren on June 09, 2010 at 09:35 PM EDT #

Nothing! The differances turned me off and it made me scream and shout at my TV. Sara put too much word into her book to have a crappy show ruin it's ORIGINAL storylines and work! I will always love the PLL Series but I don't and won't love the show. It's just a wanna be spin off that stole a few lines. Also the looks are important! We all know that because down the line, Allie and Spencer are related and their looks were the key in the connection. Also INFORMATION was WRONG! It wasn't only the girls looks. I griped about the years, order of events and overall personalities of the character. This show is a disgrace to the book, let PLL live on forever through the books and not be known for its TV Series.

Is the aka new girl a lesbian ? Or Wut because I didn't really get to hear!!!!!

Posted by nessa on June 09, 2010 at 09:40 PM EDT #

I love the books and disliked the show. Ok seriously, I know it's hard to make a show like the book but they could have done way better. I mean hello spencer is blonde not hannah. duh

Posted by TheItGirl on June 09, 2010 at 11:18 PM EDT #

I have not read the books yet however I find the show intriguing and fascinating. I feel like does it matter if they change a couple people hair colors or that it been a year at least the show is following the book.... isn't that what it supposed to be about it. I love the character Aria and Emily epically they are just like any girls. and Allison is dead so I really want to know who A is????

Posted by Candygurl294 on June 09, 2010 at 11:22 PM EDT #

Candygurl294, the show is nothing like the book. Not only did the change the color hair but they squezzed the first book in one episode. They didn't reveal Hannah's secret like they did the others and they just missed a lot of parts. read the books. Thats all im gonna say. read the books.

Posted by TheItGirl on June 09, 2010 at 11:25 PM EDT #

I agree!!!!! haha sorry I haven't been reading them and I just started the first one: Spoiler they never mention the part where Spencer and her friends saw Spencer older sister Melissa in the barn with her boyfriend wresting.

Posted by Candygurl294 on June 09, 2010 at 11:30 PM EDT #

Okay seriously, not to be rude..But, I hate that people who haven't read the books keep asking questions about what's gonna happen! The show could be different from the books, so who knows if what happens in the books will be the same for the show? Please stop asking about the jenna thing, ian, toby, and ali! It's sooo annoying. Just, watch the show or spend 80 dollars and buy all the books. :)

Posted by PLL4 on June 09, 2010 at 11:30 PM EDT #

ok Spencer looks way too old she should be the sister it just kind of ruined it for me!

Posted by kaylee on June 10, 2010 at 12:00 AM EDT #

Okay so I just want to know can I be Naomi or Meredith or someone for crying out loud. Obsessed with this series; want to be on the show. I entered to win the walk-on through abc family, still not enough. OMG I want to win more than anything. I deserve it more than anyone else!...lol. just kidding, but that's what any other pretty little liar would say! OMG I'm so glad that this became a series. I was thinking wouldn't this be cool to be a movie; series is better. Oh, I love how I waited impatiently as the books came out. Got each book on its release date... everyone in high school made fun of me, now they are all obsessed with the show. I guess that would make me Hannah, one step ahead!!!!! Please let the heavens be listening! I want to be on this show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Megan on June 10, 2010 at 12:04 AM EDT #

oh and by the way... as the book would say.. A is right in front of you. "You're missing something and it's right in front of you. It's up to you." Ali says to Spencer in her dreams. IF that gives any clues to you who haven't read the series... and just so you know once you think you know who A is, shut up because your wrong.. I even read the books 2 a piece waiting for each new book to come out, made a map of where everyone's houses are to find out who would be able to spy the most, but there is a flaw. The most/least suspected person is the culprit.. or is it? Compare A-1 to A-2 and you'll be confused. Those who have read the series know exactly what I mean!!!!

Posted by Megan on June 10, 2010 at 12:11 AM EDT #

I kind of hate how they rush things through. I mean, first of all, the girls TALK to eachother. In the books, the rarely talk at all. Secondly, Hanna is not supposed to be blonde, and Spencer isnt supposed to be a brunette. Thirdy (I like to overanalyze things), while Emily and her friend (I forgot her name-I sometimes blank out) are walking uo the pathway to whats-her-face's house, the gazebo is all up and goin in the backround. In the books, they found Allison's body while they were digging up the space for the gazebo, so why do they find it later in the books? Other than a few... 'mistakes'... the show looks pretty good.

Posted by Scarlett on June 10, 2010 at 12:28 AM EDT #

i agree with justine! how is it that mona was in the room? they cant say it was anyone cuse no ones blond!(except hanna) SPOILER ALERT********** ohmygod wanted was so good it kept me guessing

Posted by ashley on June 10, 2010 at 01:22 AM EDT #

ahh meant i agree with sarah:P

Posted by ashley on June 10, 2010 at 01:23 AM EDT #

i don't know why people get so upset with how the show is compared to the books. the point is Geniuses that they are different. They wouldn't do it if the author didn't approve. get over it. I"m an avid fan of the books to but I'm not gonna be yelling at the tv. you are TOO upset. don't watch it if it makes you that mad. goodness. I just started the books a week before the show aired. I didn't even know about the show til I was googling lol but seriously I haven't finished the series yet. cant wait to buy and read the rest as the show goes on!

Posted by Brittany on June 10, 2010 at 02:04 AM EDT #

Haven't read the books yet, but the first episode was great, I ordered them today. I was beyond amazed at how it instantly caught my attention! Looks like I found another summer addiction. :)

Posted by Krisinda on June 10, 2010 at 02:57 AM EDT #

i have read all the books as well as wanted, and was more than excited for the show to start... it starts and i was like wait WHAT...! that didnt happen. and then the major barn seen was changed drastically. i know that most directors change story lines a little..( i mean have u seen twilight.) but i wasnt expecting to catch every single thing that was off from the book. this is probably one of my favorite series and it upset me that it was changed so much. sorry for people who loved it.. i will still watch because i love the books so much, but had to get my feelings out, because only people who have read PLL understands..

I seriously agree with sydnye....ok so the characters have different secrets....including Ali, but i don't think they are gonna include that into the show...but for some reason...i'm still confused....Emily is the prettiest out of all of them...isn't she nicknamed "Killer"?....i seriously thought she was Spencer's sister....but then Spencer sister came out what i thought to be an extra....and Jenna...she looks like i imagined except for the hair....and Toby is ugh...

They should cancel this show...besides, it's sucks to saying the least. Read a book next time!

You guys are all whining about how the characters don't look like how they look in the books. So what? Would you rather have it where the characters look exactly like in the book, but don't act like themselves at all, or would you rather it be where they didn't look like themselves exactly, but have the personalities down wonderfully? It's all about the acting, Honey. Some(small) changes were made. Is that such a bad thing? A lot of you don't seem to understand that every director will change a few things to make it suit what they think will work best to please all of you. There were some new, and old things added. Give the show a chance, it's only been the first episode.

the girl who plays Spencer looks like she is 30. i know that Hannah seams like she should be a blonde but she wasn't. Like you all have said it has not followed the book truly in my opinion, they could of at least made the characters true to the book. And was it just a mis-hear on my part but did the lady at Allison's duneral say, "Jenna MILLER!! is here i did not even know they were friends"

Ah okay, ABC Family?? 1. Two girls kiss. 2. One girl got arrested for stealing 350$ sunglasses. then her mom slept with the cop to get her daughter off. Practically right in front of the kid. 3. Another girl is all hot for and gets a massage from her sisters BF. 4. Another girl met a guy in a bar, they totally made out, then they both found out that he was her HS teacher. But they still made out again later. Ugh - this is a show on the Family channel? Oh and the "parents"..... they all look about 5 yrs older than their "kid".... I won't watch again and neither will my 14 yr old.

I think the casting was beautiful. So was the lighting, idk how to explain it haha but the shots are so vivid. When i saw commercials for it i thought it was gonna be cheesy but i was way wrong. however a lottt of info happened in the first episode. I hope they dont flip through thingss too fast or all the books will be finished by the second season. . . . It was amazing though <3

pretty little liars is like another desperate housewives except im allowed to watch it.i was like thinking in mind i have a group on 5 friends what if one died? we wer talking about who would die! i guess its a mystery...but i think mona is the one sending those email and text messages.

Posted by kayla on June 10, 2010 at 01:51 PM EDT #

Well along with some thing s other people said I HATED the looks of the girls. Spence'rs blonde, Emily is a red head, and Hannah is brunette! Aria is the only one that looks right. I think they're appearance in the book and show should have been pretty exact. The second thing is, the one year thing? Yeah no, they weren't suppose to be just 16. Next is they made them WAY to close in the beginning. They don't find out they are all getting A notes till like the end of the 1st book or the 2nd book or something. And even then they barely looked at each other and they all had they're separate lives in the book. After the funeral in the book is when they first came together and the show rushed all that. They should of told more about the story and they're old friendship and what had happened to Jenna for the very first episode. But that's about it. It wasn't too bad. But those are just some things that bugged at me :)

Posted by Jenae on June 10, 2010 at 02:52 PM EDT #

Ok, seriously? Would you rather have sucky actresses with the right hair colour or actresses who are good with different hair colour? Hair doesn't make the character!!! You all need to chill... realize what's important. Annoyance about the 3 years vs. 1 year thing is understandable, and so are other things. But hair? Can we please let this go already?

Posted by Elizabeth on June 10, 2010 at 08:05 PM EDT #

My favorite parts our the Actress who plays Aria, the fact tht Holly Marie Combs is in this tv show and the rosewood mall. everything else was wrong!!!!! for instant the actress who plays Ali is not pretty enough for the role. i think the girl who is hanna should play Ali. Next the houses are all wrong i feel like they were described much bigger then they actually were. what the heck are they gonna do if spencer and mona don't have blonde hair!!?? i felt like they were centering the show to Aria being the main character so i hope tht changes because there is a lot more depth to spencer. i think the pilot was just the bare mimnal and the next episodes will get more into detail. hopefully anyway :)

Posted by alexis on June 10, 2010 at 08:15 PM EDT #

The girl playing Hannah should be alison because she is beautiful, I h8 the way that people are only watching the show not reading the books

Posted by Ali on June 10, 2010 at 10:18 PM EDT #

the show; well i wasnt jumping up and down thing this is soo good! or anything, but it wasn't terrible. first off, it made me so angry THEY COMPLETELEY RUINED SPENCER! and not just the whole blonde hair thing. the girl acted stiff and tense, like she had something up her butt or like she was 40! i know spencer is prim and all that, but did not like that actress at all! sorry. Aria is gorgeous! she did really good at the part too. Maybe Hanna and Mona's actors should switch, but oh well, they are both very pretty, especially hannah, haha. Emily wasn't really how i pictured her, but she was super pretty and did a goof job. Maya is just how I pictured her. So is Jenna! I really liked Melissa's actress, even though thats not how i pictured her. but i think they need to slow things down, people were confussed, because they haven't read the books. so far the books are 20 times better.

Posted by Lexi on June 11, 2010 at 04:09 PM EDT #

i hope the show isnt entirely different than the books... the books are so awesome! and i really hope they dont change up all the crazy stuff that happened in the books when they convert it to tv.

Posted by jade on June 11, 2010 at 04:56 PM EDT #

i yelled at the tv theymessed upthe entire show!!! :(

Posted by Michelle on June 11, 2010 at 05:18 PM EDT #

I honestly cant STAND the tiny messups in this show!!! I aggree about the hair thing, the too close thing, AND the 3 years vs. 1 year thing....but that explains why they are still so close in the show; it's only been a year. But still, come on. And plus Spencer and Ali look nothing alike which is why they shouldve made the girl playing Hanna play spencer instead. but what I was thinking while reading the books was......well, i was imaginig the events happening with the girls from the cover! Why couldnt they call up those models and ask them to play the roles?? It wouldve been a LOT better than what it is now. And for the people who think this is gonna be a really good one, try reading the books. They are so much better it's crazy. Trust me.

Posted by jasmine on June 11, 2010 at 06:30 PM EDT #

It's mostly fans of the books (like me) tht aren't 2 satisfied w/ the show. Ppl jst don't get that the hair colors r CRUCIAL 4 certain parts & no offense/racism, b/c i'm a dif. race as well, but y is Emily asian. She is pretty jst seems 2 girly for the role. I don't even think Aria is how she shld b. She was supposed to be tall, pale, w/ icy blue eyes or something I jst don't feel Lucy Hale as Aria's role @ all.. I do like Hanna, jst the hair (of course). Some1 said that Spencer reminded them of the girl on the books..I AGREE but also w/ who said Spencer looks old & was a stiff actor. The show is decent but every1 still needs 2 read the amazing books. I also agree with "PLL4" (ppl need 2 stop asking so many ?'s & jst buy the books/BORROW them). & r ppl confused.. y r ppl saying Jenna is supposed to be blonde? Umm no.. jet black hair. Wow. Either way, i'm going 2 continue watching the show, just b/c I love the books & have been reading them since they first came out. :)

Posted by Danielle on June 12, 2010 at 02:46 AM EDT #

When I seen the show I was like What the Hell is this? They have everything so mixed up and the way they are letting the show roll is really weird! But I guess I'll keep watching the show to see how they are going to make this all happen! I hoping the show is at least alright. But the books will be better. :D

Posted by Jas on June 12, 2010 at 04:32 PM EDT #

The number one thing I hate about this show is Spencer. I completely agree with Lexi.. Her actress looks WAY too old to be ing high school, and she really doesn't give off the 'Spencer vibe', you know what I mean? And also, the pace of the show was a little too fast especially because they left big parts out. Like when Hanna stole the sunglasses.. wasn't Mona supposed to be with her? And the sleepover scene was like 30 seconds. I think I would be really confused if I didn't read the books. However, one thing I did think was done very nicely was the Ezra and Aria meeting. But I think it was very inappropriate for them to be making out at Ali's funeral.. Anyway, overall I was sort of disappointed but I will probably keep watching the show just to see how everything plays out.

Posted by Staci on June 12, 2010 at 06:57 PM EDT #

i really enjoyed the show ! im a huge PLL fan, and i've read all the books, the only thing I didn't care for was that the characters looked nothing like they were described as (except Aria and Ali) but whatever..One thing I must say is that my friends who havent read the books watched the show and had no clue what was going on.. so i think more information shouldve been provided to the people who havent read the series.

Posted by alexandra (: on June 12, 2010 at 09:09 PM EDT #

and btw, spencers like 40

Posted by alexandra (: on June 12, 2010 at 09:10 PM EDT #

i didnt really like the show to be honest. i think itd be great if it wasnt based on the series. It was to rushed and i think the first book should have been spread out more the first book was getting to know everyone and seeing what kind of ppl they are and u didnt get that from the first show. you never met hanna's bf welll ex.. u didnt really get to see the relationship spencer has. i didnt like emily's character she didnt look like her character u didnt meet her bf either.. the only character i thought that was almost perfect to the book was aria. she fits the part. i dont liek how younge mike her brother is he seems to younge and i think later him and hanna will look funny. I think they should have kept true to 3 years because a large part of the story was that they were not really friends in highschool.

Posted by Nicole on June 13, 2010 at 06:10 PM EDT #

What happened to snow? wasnt jenna supposed to have white hair? Idk... thats not such a big deal. Anyway my fav part would defintaly have to be the flashback.

Posted by Lizzie Z. on June 13, 2010 at 07:53 PM EDT #

I thought it was fun watching the show after you've read the books. But I hate that it says "1 year later" instead of "3 years later". I also dislike who they got for Spencer, and Emily. But it was OK I still like the show through.

Posted by Sarah on June 14, 2010 at 09:12 PM EDT #

absolutely hated the series. The actresses look nothing like they were described in the books and what the hell is up with all the hair colour fails? I also hate how it was set ONE year later not three like the books. All in all, I'm going to watch the new episode tomorrow to see if it's still worth watching; I just finished Wanted a few seconds ago and I have to say that the books are ten times better than the one episode and that I have no idea how they're going to portray Courtney..... And Melissa isn't even blonde in the show, right? ughhh!

Posted by yasmin on June 15, 2010 at 12:13 AM EDT #

Why is it 1 year from Ali's death instead of 3. Hannah isn't fat enough and she doesn't have braces and Mona was supposed to be blonde so that when they saw her they thought she was Ali. Mellisa looks way too plastic and Wilden is really ugly. I don't see why they didn't just use the models from the books. I do think they are good actors though. But they should be rearanged to fit the characters better. Isn't Emily supposed to be blonde and pale.

Posted by Mads on June 15, 2010 at 03:25 PM EDT #

The only person that looked like there description in the books was Jenna. And so many important moments before ali's body was found are missing.The books are wayy better but the show just makes it more fun.

Posted by Hal on June 15, 2010 at 05:07 PM EDT #

It drrives me crazy that NONE of the actors/actresses looket the way the book describes. totaly confusing! And the whole one yr thing tottaly throws me off. I dont like how all the girls still seem close either. there deff not like that in the books. idk how the whole hair color thing will work out later on but... w.e.. and also why was the first show the equivilent of the first book?? cause if they keep doing that there will only b 8 shows...

Posted by Marie on June 15, 2010 at 05:17 PM EDT #

Ok some of you may have caught this maybe not but Aria doesn't eat meat in the bar she ordered a cheese burger?! What is up with that?

Posted by Sarah on June 16, 2010 at 09:07 PM EDT #

Ok, i have one more thing to say i know all of us well most of us are like they did this and this wrong from the books and blah blah well they can't do everything i mean they can't please every fan i mean at least they should get the charracters right. cough Spencer blonde cough emily red head cough Hanna black haired cough. I guess we can just deal with it or not watch it at all ( i'm watching it).

Posted by Sarah on June 16, 2010 at 09:14 PM EDT #

I loved that line that Spencer said to Melissa. It made me laugh. I liked the premeire even though the characters weren't exactly right. I think it's gonna be good no matter what. I don't know how they're gonna make it work though. The characters kinda had to look like the book characters so everything would work out. I guess we'll just have to see what happens with all that.

Posted by Kate on June 21, 2010 at 11:42 PM EDT #

My favorite part so far is definitely the relationship between Ezra and Aria. It's kind of wrong but it adds a lot to the story line because of their forbidden affair. I think it makes the series richer and has hooked a ton of people. I don't care at all that they met in a bar! It's a mature relationship compared to Arias friends flings.

Posted by Carly on June 24, 2010 at 02:20 PM EDT #

i like that the books and show are different
