Lame 'Secret Life' centers on teen sex, pregnancy

what else would you ever expect from the definitive social engineer: TELEVISION.

Scott Pierce never met a T.V. show that he didn't like. Scott, this is entertainment! All shows don't have to be highbrow. There is something enjoyable about watching a B-Grade show and enjoying it for all it's trashy glory (once in a while). Lighten up.

I think Scott D. Pierce is missing the whole point of this show. This show is intended to be a melodrama and joyously trashy.

Sometimes it wallows in sumptuous decadence and can be hilariously contrived and sensational.

Scott, go home and rent "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and just enjoy. You will take life a little less seriously.

I love how well the media portrays the teenage generation...

they are soo far off.

Enjoy a crap show like this? A show touting as "normal" the melodramatic, hormone-fueled dialogue we are trying to teach our kids NOT to adopt? You must have been absent when they taught about good sense and responsibility in grade school. Folks, this ISN'T what I will be watching, and certainly NOT what I want my son to see as the life of a teen.

I give this type of programming an "F", for Failure, Flop, Fiasco..........

ABC Family programming leaves a lot to be desired. These types of shows are all over the place. I think the name of the network is mislabeled. It should be replaced with ABC Teen-age Sex Shows...not ABC Family.

Another example of why my family and I haven't watched television in decades. TV programming, including commercials, are pretty much aimed at immorality and a waste of valuable time. The media has been pushing this stereo-type of teenager since I was a kid and that was 25 years ago.

Talk to your kids. Spend time with them.

Weather you like it or not teens lives are full of drama, wasn't yours? Girls get pregnant, boys have deep problems, and to say this isn't happening is a joke. I think people want to hide their heads in the sand and say life doesn't happen. Lastly this is a TV show, made to entertain, and it did accomplish this goal.

Sounds about as stupid and contrived as anything else on television.

Maybe we should start reading books again.
