The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Hey guys ! Sorry I haven't posted up here for about a month and a week now, it's been long. But I have news!

ABC Family recently started airing this new show, called "The Secret Life of the American Teenager". Obviously, from just glancing and the title of the show, it's a show for teenage girls. I'd like to say that it's kind of like a Lauren Myracle book put to life, on a television series. And, for those of you who don't know what kind of books Lauren Myracle writes, they're teenage girl books that involve a lot of boy conflicts, regular everyday teen girl problems, and so on. The Secret Life has brought it on air, for teen girls that need to be informed about daily problems, but haven't already read those kinds of books.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager is a television series about a young, 15 year old girl named Amy Jergins, who recently got pregnant in band camp because of her fellow band mate, drummer, sex-addict, Ricky Underwood. She struggles with problems on how and when to tell her parents, and so forth. Many of you already watch this show, as I know that already 76% of American girls, know, or have seen at least 2 episodes of The Secret Life; so I won't go on about the story.

So far, there have already been 9 episodes of this show, as it airs every Tuesday from 8:00 - 9:00 PM. The season finale is going to be 2 episodes from now, as they need time to finish putting together they're 13th episode - 21 episode, to be aired later on throughout the year. The scripts and acts still need to be finished. They've already finished episode 10, 11, and 12, and are planned to be aired the following Tuesdays: 9/2, 9/9, and 9/16 of 2008. Throughout this time, they're going to finish episodes 13-15 and throughout their break time while the show is not airing, finish up their second season.

I've watched every single episode of Season 1, so far. And have to say, this show is simply off to a great start! I give it 2 thumbs up, and 5 stars. There are great actors and actresses that can really put on a show. Especially Molly Ringwald! [Amy's mom]. I think it's a great idea that they started this show because it really informs teenagers around us, what reality really is, and I think that's great! Episode 9 last night really left us hanging, I keep wondering if Adriene has a sister, because she told Amy's dad that her dad had two daughters with her mom, and then left and started a new family. It's kinda scary, but hopefully they'll bring a new character into this show and make it more full of drama. I'm upset that Alice and Henry broke up, and I'd really like to know why, because I can't understand it. Alice just told Henry last week, on how much she loved him; and now she dumped him! There has to be some logical reason, which is coming up episode 10.

I love this show, I'm pretty much obsessed, hahahaha. But yeah, I'm gonna keep blogging stuff up about this show, to keep you guys updated about what's going on !
