Overview

What I Like About You is an American sitcom that aired on The WB from September 20, 2002, to March 24, 2006. Created by Wil Calhoun and Dan Schneider, the series is set in New York City and follows the everyday lives of two sisters, the responsible 28‑year‑old Valerie Tyler and her vivacious 16‑year‑old sister Holly. Valerie, described as an “organization freak,” works to keep her life orderly, while Holly’s rambunctious, spontaneous and impulsive nature often disrupts that order. When Holly’s father is transferred to Japan, she moves in with Valerie, prompting the sisters to navigate the challenges of sharing a home and redefining their relationship. The show stars Jennie Garth as Valerie and Amanda Bynes as Holly, with supporting performances by Wesley Jonathan and Leslie Grossman. Over its four‑season run the series produced 86 episodes, becoming a regular feature of The WB’s Friday night comedy lineup for most of its broadcast period.
