The best line thus far has been when that actress that played the mom on the original “90210″ was referred to as Brandon and Brenda’s mom. Come on, Greek. Where’s the clever, heavy on the pop culture references we’re used to?

It’s no secret
The Secret Life of the American Teenager is supposedly the most watched TV show online, beating out The Office and 24.
If you’ve seen this show, you’d probably ask why. As much as I liked Brenda Hampton’s involvement in 7th Heaven, this show, to me, seems like a high school production of inexperienced writers and actors. And while the concept of dealing with issues such as teenage pregnancy can be applauded, Secret Life, in my opinion, seems to glamorize teen moms.
Yet we still watch. Is it the draw of such iconic teen actresses as Molly Ringwald and Mayim Bialik? Or is it just human nature to want to be a spectator of such a train wreck?

It’s all Greek to me
Have I entered my second childhood already? Or am I just in denial that being thirty means you’re no longer a kid, but a full-fledged adult, and shopping in the juniors department just isn’t cool anymore.
Yet, I can still dream of wearing those cute little outfits Casey and Ashleigh romp around in on ABC Family’s Greek, right?
Of course. This season, Greek has become even more of a guilty pleasure of mine. While I still don’t advise this one for the actual college and teenage crowd (because glorifying underage frat party drinking sends out the wrong message), it does make me long for those simpler days. You know. When attracting pledges was way more important than attracting employers, and paying for floats and kegs took precedence over groceries and utilities.
So, get hooked, too. Check it out Mondays at 8/7 C on ABC Family.
