the Secret Life of an American Teenager

Have you heard of it? A new series on the family channel. I started watching it last season. And as I was watching it tonight, I took notes. (Seriously.) Ok, so its primarly about a 15yr old girl Amy, who gets pregnant by some dude Ricky at band camp. (Stay with me.) Now Amy has a boyfriend, Ben. Ben and Amy decided that they love eachother after like......a week. They want to get married. Their parents, being the smart people they are, say no. So Ben and Amy decide to get fake IDs and elope. Forget the fact that just because you have an ID that says you are over 18, does not legally make you 18. Therefor, you are not legally married. But that's probably because they're only 15 and don't know anything. So, they finally find out they aren't married. Boo hoo...tears ensue. Molly Ringwald plays the mom, and seriously...what the fuck happened to her? I loved her in all her 80s movies. But this? Really? She's horrible. And let's not forget to mention the token Christian girl, waiting to have sex until she's married..who just happens to now be dating the male whore of the school, Ricky. Yep, that Ricky..the one who got poor little virgin Amy preggo. So not we have Jesus freak and Ricky together. And preggo and Ben, who professes his love for her every 2 seconds of the show. How he loves her, and wants to marry her, etc, etc, vomit. You're 15 Ben, what do you know? And then Amy...I never saw a more miserable person. Even when she's happy she looks miserable. Just looking at her makes me want to kill myself. Oh and the twist this season.....baby's daddy father just came into town...and wants to sell the baby.

The point of this post?

I hate this show.

I hope I don't miss next weeks episode.

  1. Hahaha this cracks me up, primarily because I have the exact same feelings about this show yet can't stop watching it. I kept thinking the writing would get better, but it hasn't.
