    Storyline

    Edit
    "Two of a Kind" is a family comedy with a romantic twist. Kevin Burke is a science professor and single father who believes there is a scientific explanation for everything except how to control his scheming pre-teen daughters! Mary Kate and Ashley are twin sisters who are complete opposites. Mary Kate is a tomboy whose biggest interest is perfecting her curve ball; and Ashley is a straight-A student starting a boy-crazy phase. And then there's Carrie, a 26-year-old freshman in Kevin's seminar who has come late to college after exploring the world. Carrie is quirky, difficult, beautiful and quick to speak her mind, so when she answers Kevin's ad for a part-time nanny for the girls, he is convinced she's nothing but trouble. The girls think she is a dream-sitter come true and agree to put their differences aside and join forces to make a little chemistry between their by-the-book dad and the beautiful woman who seems to drive him crazy in all the right ways. —MKA's Biggest Fan

    • Quotes

      [Carrie had made home-made chunky cranberry sauce. Kevin gets home from work...]

      Kevin Burke: That's not cranberry sauce.

      [holding his hands one on top of the other about six inches apart]

      Kevin Burke: No, no, no... cranberry sauce is a red, gelatinous clump about yay-high shaped like a can.

    not as good as full house but not a bad show
    I'm so tired of reading how people think the twins act like their 25. What a crock of s***. If they act anything, it's like a little kid, which is exactly what they are, kids. I always enjoyed watching Mary-Kate and Ashley. I always thought it would be cool to have a twin sister. I never knew about this show when it was on the regular stations. I started watching it when it was on 6:30 in the morning on the family stations. I just wish they would have made more episodes because I'm tired of watching the old ones all the time.
