Secret Life of American Teenagers
I just saw a new show on ABC Family called The Secret Life of the American Teenager. I’m not sure how much of a family show it is, since it comes with a warning beforehand, but it did air at 8 pm ET.
I wasn’t sure if I was gonna watch it, but I had DVRed a couple of eps and since I had a little time this morning, I watched the first one. I only saw one ep, so far. I actually decided to watch it because saw that Molly Ringwald, John Schneider and Mark Derwin were in the cast. And I like all of them.
It was fairly typical of a teen show, mostly about sex, and with various necessary stereotypical teens. You know, all the kinds of kids you have to have when you have a high school. Although, I didn’t see any actual mean kids, at least not yet.
I thought the acting was a little stiff, and it seemed like they all didn’t know each other, which felt weird to me. I went to a fairly small high school, I guess, may 1,000 kids, like 350 in my class, and everyone knew everyone. It wasn’t liked we were all friends or anything, but we knew each other to say “hey” to. It just felt like this was the first day in a new school for everyone. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even the first day of the year or anything like that, but it felt that way. That’s uncomfortable.
But for all that, I’m still interested in seeing what happens next.
