Where's their quite enjoyable network one season follow-up series "Two Of A Kind"? It ran endlessly in reruns on ABC Family and was cancelled prematurly on ABC.

I did record them to DVD for my nieces. It will be nice to see "So Little Time" return though available on DVD as "Two Of A Kind" isn't. The name being a in-joke card name to "Full House" in poker.

^I was also hoping for "Two of a Kind" to air again but instead I guess we got a "royal flush down the toilet".

Viacom strikes again! "Olsen fever" lasted two weeks, the 7:30PM eastern Nick weekday airings of "So Little Time" lasted two weeks replaced by more Spongebob!

believed they ran one friday movie "Holiday In The Sun"......

If they have any chance of surviving on the Nick platform channels move them over to the TeenNick channel with Victorious, Sam & Cat, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, iCarly, & Haunted Hathaways. Those six series make up 18 hours of the daily schedule!

So Little Time last week of April aired at 7:30PM. First week of May, show moved to 6:30PM! Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie Our Lips Are Sealed will still air this Friday along with When in Rome next week!

So Little Time had two week air on Nickelodeon when they fared severe low ratings averaged 0.7 viewers

Another change for Nick. And this is not a good news at all.
The library content for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen is being pulled off Nick schedule. Movies, So Little Time encores, and movie repeat, etc.
Nick pulled the plug airing Mary Kate/Ashley archives.
So Little Time and movies has fared severe low ratings averaged 0.7 total viewers.

It's quite unknown whether the library content could move to Teenick in future...

Anyone interested read my post #4 in this thread, morons, should have been on Teenick all along, not saying they will do this, but they license a property which costs big bucks, put it on the wrong channel & wrong time slot....Viacom won't get a refund!

Nickelodeon never mentioned this as they pulled So Little Time and movies off the schedule since there has not been any tweets about So Little Time. Nck already did acquire this library content to air. Nick&More (the fansite) explains why So Little Time and library contents including movies like Winning London and When in Rome had been pulled.

Here's nickandmore twitter status explaining what happened: (Remember he doesn't work for Nick. He's a big fansite)

So Little Time has fared severe low ratings which had been moved to last Sat 6AM for repeats, but this time the show is getting pulled again. Nick already did air Holiday in the Sun that scored 0.847 and Our Lips Are Sealed scored 0.765. I can bet So Little Time ratings on a 6AM hour last Sat. wasn't posted, but guessed it did much worse.. I'll check with sonofthebronx for this.

So Little Time ratings aired on Nick breakdown:
Apr 27 7:30PM - 1.065, 0.20 adult demo
Apr 28 7:30PM - 0.965, 0.12 adult demo
Apr 29 7:30PM - 0.752, 0.15 adult demo
Apr 30 7:30PM - 0.900, 0.21 adult demo
May 1 7:30PM - 0.882, 0.15 adult demo
May 4 6:30PM - 0.751, 0.17 adult demo
May 5 6:30PM - 0.703, 0.15 adult demo
May 6 6:30PM - 0.595, 0.09 adult demo
May 7 6:30PM - 0.590, 0.12 adult demo
May 8 6:30PM - 0.847, 0.16 adult demo

The first week of So Little Time started out with dismal 1 mil viewers, then ratings has tumbled as it progresses.

Nick has to realize that the decision for Mary Kate/Ashley archive was a bad idea from the start. Although I really do like the decision though since it's been awhile I watched So Little Time aired on ABCFamily in mid 2000's.

Nickelodeon this Friday 7PM iCarly: iGo to Japan, then followed by iCarly: iGo One Direction.
Next Friday 7PM; Henry Danger, SpongeBob, 8PM encore of Genie in a Bikini one hour movie

AND??.................

Nothing against your very technical informative post, I am being serious NOT sarcastic but as most on these boards complain about the way Viacom handles all their programming moves on everyone of their multi platform channels' changing things literally after days of being on TV Land, Nick, etc.

So we are now suppose to be Live tweeting during the show, after, before? instead of just watching it?

Many classic TV series in the entire history of the medium were nearly cancelled after their first short test run or first season like Seinfeld, All In The Family, the list goes into the thousands.

Now I know this is 2015 where the networks encourage me to stop watching their shows LIVE and go on their website instead or I am forced to read live tweets during network shows like "Dancing with the stars", etc "WOW, I LOVE THIS"....

With respect to all posters here, those who live tweet with such fascinating and absorbing information are like some of the threads on these boards, everyone seems at times self absorbed and believe their opinions or sheer excitment is worthy of telling, sharing or running to Facebook to post the picture of their dinner, instead of living life, everyone is seeking "not their 15 minutes of fame" as promised & predicted by Mr. Warhol, but their "2 seconds of fame!"....

Quite perplexing, the cancellation has absolutley no bearing on what was all Olsen sub-par programs and movies. I got a kick out of the disclaimer that did run explaining to todays youth "you are about to see Michelle Tanner all grown up with her twin sister".

In truth The Olsen empire is totally somewhere else (not TV), hence their refusal to appear in any part of reunions (Fuller House), but in truth they are not relevant to todays youth or tween.

Lastly what i still believe was a very enjoyable series that was cancelled prematurely "Two Of A Kind" wasn't aquired by Nick, but probably due to the already explained Warner Bros ownership, unlike the others being owned and distributed by the young women.

Now someone can follow this thread OT and ask why "Alice" from "The Brady Bunch" dated "Sam The Butcher" because was he really worthy of her?

Now please excuse me as I take a selfie of myself and my laptop as I write this post and then put it on my facebook page, so I can not only get my post count increased here but if I'm lucky enough no one will understand the "reality" of what I am writing and continue this thread with 100's of nasty responses so I can be trending by morning, so than perhaps Viacom will call me and offer my entire family a reality show to replace a rerun of Britney's little sister's (Now a married mother) series, oh please "Schneider's Bakery" email me! (Was that too inside?)

On second thought I will forget that idea and go upstairs read my daughter a bedtime story, tuck her in, check under the bed for monsters, and kiss her goodnight until that drink of water is needed!

Peace & Love, and to all happy posting!

So Little Time Sat 5/9 ratings:
6AM - 0.460
6:30AM - 0.445

I'm sure it sounded like a good idea based on the popularity of Full House. They did zero to make it work though.

[tenter]

Well I agree with that, Nick thought that the reason Full House was popular on Nick at Nite was the Olsens. And with Fuller House to come to Netflix, Nick did acquire Mary Kate/Ashley rights which many people thought these ratings will revive up. But since it didn't work, and ratings did much worse, these shows were pulled. And based on this blog, Olsens will not be able to join Fuller House series.

And another note: Ashley Olsen suffered Lyme Disease.

Looks like the archives for Mary Kate and Ashley finally moved to Teennick:
Winning London will air on Mon Jun 1 9PM-11PM
Our Lips Are Sealed (already aired on Nick) Tues Jun 2 9PM-11PM
When in Rome - Wed Jun 3 9PM-11PM
Holiday in the Sun (already aired on Nick) - Thurs Jun 4 9PM-11PM

No sign of So Little Time on Teennick yet..

[tenter]

Sorry for bumping thread up, but I didn't realize that when So Little Time bunch of episodes that aired in TeenNick since Labor Day weekend of 2015, I might have forgot to post this, and I posted on other sites. After So Little Time is finally done with TeenNick for Labor Day 2015, that's it. No more Olsen archive library after all
