It Goes There Too

Angela Anaconda, Big Wolf on Campus, even Full House, none of them went there, back in the early days of ABC Family, back when it was still called Fox Family.  No, those shows were sweet little stories without a sexual bone in their recipes.  

Well guys, the times have changed.

ABC Family has morphed.  I can't decide yet if it's good or bad.  Is it assuming that little kids are corrupt beings, totally turned on by sex and alc?  Or is it assuming that the pre-teens that loved ABC Fam so long ago have grown up and now want some action? The whole system is a little confused, because each show caters to a slightly different market.  

Take Kyle XY, for example.  I have never seen it.  So I don't want to discuss it.  Moving on.

There is Greek, for one.  Which is awesome.  I don't even to attempt to deny how much I crazy love it.  It brings it.  Like Torrance.  It's got the comedy, sex, pop culture references, and typico college lifestyle that I love to watch so much.  Really, it's a show made for me.  And maybe some people similar to me.

And then there is The Secret Life of the American Teenager.  Truthfully, I am writing this whole weird, long entry just so that I can discuss this show.  I just don't know what to make of it, or what it's aiming for.  Does it want to shock viewers?  Does it want to give an accurate portrayel of high schoolers?  I mean, even the title seems questionable.  It looks like a wannabe life time movie that should be really good, just to say booyah to all of the people doubting it.  But no, no booyahing yet.  

But for some reason, I watch it.  I like slutty, smart Adrian.  And I could keep listing all of the characters, to prove that I know their names, but she is the only one that I like. The rest suck.  They have zero likeable traits and their plotlines are dumb and dragging and completely uncompelling.  Ugh, Boyfriend Ben Boykovitch is the worst. All "I love you"s and "I will raise your babies."  He is just so pathetic I could vom every time he comes on screen.  And his love, the main character, Amy, is nearly as lame as him.  Pretty much because she has no character or personality.  Although she was the original Kaitlyn Cooper on The O.C., before Kaitlyn got superhot and GG worthy.  

Why am I still watching this travesty of a show?  I'll tell you why.  So that I am informed enough of it, so that I can discuss it with my friends and followers.  The end.
