What I Like About You

Right now you can watch What I Like About You in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. Across 4 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 6/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Amanda Bynes sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason What I Like About You keeps coming up in conversation. What I Like About You does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Valerie Tyler is a 28-year-old organization freak who loves her 16-year-old sister Holly. Even if Holly is rambunctious. Spontaneous. The chemistry Amanda Bynes and Jennie Garth bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. 4 seasons (2002–2006) gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and What I Like About You holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, What I Like About You respects your intelligence. If you have already watched Friends, What I Like About You is a natural next step. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Amanda Bynes sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

What I Like About You wrapped up in 2006, created by Wil Calhoun and Dan Schneider — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
