10 Things I Hate About You is an American television situation comedy broadcast on ABC Family beginning in 2009. Developed by Carter Covington, the show is a half-hour, single camera series based on the 1999 film of the same name. It premiered on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at 8 pm[1] and brought in 1.60 million viewers, a record for a 30-minute comedy debut on the ABC Family network during its initial 10 episode run.[2]

E! Online reported on September 11, 2009 that additional episodes had been ordered.[3] On January 12, 2010 ABC Family confirmed that an additional 10 episodes of 10 Things were ordered and would begin airing on Monday, March 29, 2010.[4]

On April 29, 2010, executive producer Carter Covington announced on his Twitter account that 10 Things I Hate About You had been canceled by ABC Family due to low ratings.[5] The remaining episodes still aired, ending on May 24, 2010.[6]

Plot

The series is based on the Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew.

The Stratford sisters, Kat (Lindsey Shaw) and Bianca (Meaghan Jette Martin), have just moved from Ohio to California. As they start at their new school (Padua High), they have very different goals. It's clear that one sister wants to stand out and the other just wants to fit in. Kat is a cool, intelligent, strong-willed, forthright feminist who is looking to save the world and get out of school as fast as she can. When she meets the intense Patrick Verona (Ethan Peck), sparks begin to fly. Bianca is a social butterfly whose main goal in life is to be popular, but when the head cheerleader makes her the mascot, she realizes she has a long way to go. As they start a bumpy year at Padua High, Kat and Bianca attempt to navigate the popular crowd, boys and their over-protective dad (Larry Miller). Bianca tries everything to be popular and become a cheerleader - although getting involved with the boyfriend (Chris Zylka) of the most popular girl (Dana Davis) in school creates new challenges.

Development and production

In 2008, ABC Family announced their intention to create a comedy pilot based on the 1999 movie. The pilot was written by Carter Covington, a self-professed fan of the original 1999 film.[7][8] ABC Family green-lit the comedy in October 2008.[7] In November 2008, casting was announced for the pilot,[9] with production following that fall. In February 2009, the pilot was picked up when ABC Family ordered 9 additional episodes.[10]

While Covington sought a "reimagined" adaptation, there are several connections between the pilot and movie, which gave the pilot the same feel.[8][11] Gil Junger, who directed the movie, also directed the pilot. Richard Gibbs, who is credited for the original music in the the 1999 movie, also composed the theme music for the pilot.[11][12] In addition, Larry Miller reprises his role as the overprotective father, Walter Stratford.

The pilot was shot at a high school in Tujunga, California.[12] Due to budget constraints,[12] future episodes were filmed at a soundstage in Santa Clarita, California,[13][14] with only occasional external shots in Tujunga.

Covington serves as the series show runner, as well as an executive producer. He has stated that he wants the show "to feel like a John Hughes film every week."[15] Junger has remained on board, and directed seven of the first 10 episodes of the series...

Cast

Main characters

  • Lindsey Shaw as Kat Stratford: a high school junior and Bianca's older sister, Kat is a smart, strong-willed feminist with a sharp tongue. She has an independent mind and deep ethical beliefs. One of her long-time goals has been to go to college at Brown University. She finds herself strangely drawn to Patrick. She is shown to be a compulsive overacheiver as she broke into school just to take a test.
  • Meaghan Jette Martin as Bianca Stratford: A sophomore and Kat's little sister. Bianca will do anything to become popular and get a spot on the cheerleading squad. Is as vapid as could be and dates the aspiring male model football star. She is now learning that being popular is not as easy or simple as it seems.
  • Larry Miller as Dr. Walter Stratford: the girls' very overprotective father. He is a gynecologist and widower. He is wary of teenage boys and often lectures his daughters about sex. His main rule is that Bianca doesn't date until Kat does. While normally serious, he does have a funny and loving side.
  • Ethan Peck as Patrick Verona: also a junior, Patrick is a quiet, brooding loner who is often getting in trouble. He is feared by most of the students. He takes an interest in Kat.
  • Nicholas Braun as Cameron James: a sophomore, he is in love with Bianca from the first day he sees her, but he is awkward and inexperienced in the ways of dating.
  • Dana Davis as Chastity Church: a sophomore and the most popular girl in the school. She is head cheerleader and comes from a wealthy family. Chastity's father is on the school board and she is used to getting whatever she wants (she once even blackmailed her father). Chastity is very catty and swears a vendetta on Bianca after she steals Joey from her.

Reception

10 Things has received a score of 67 out of 100 from review aggregator Metacritic.[16] Several critics praised the series for containing clever dialogue and appealing and rooted characters.[17][18] Brian Lowry of Variety described the show as "a solid roll for the cable network that was once an albatross around the neck of parent Disney."[19] One critic proclaimed the series as "best thing that ABC Family has ever produced."[20] Randee Dawn of The Hollywood Reporter thought that the series "has genuine appeal."[21]

Less favorable reviews came from Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times, who called the series "not very inventive,"[22] and The New York Post, whose mixed review concluded that the show is "silly, mindless fun" whose "actors are all terrific in that silly, mindless fun way that Disney teens tend to be."[23]

Mike Hale from The New York Times named the show to his top ten in 2009, stating that "in the dog days of July," the sitcom "may have been the best thing on television."[24]
