This show is utter brilliance. UTTER.
The show centers around two families, Preggo girl and her sister, and Grace and Tommy Tard. Molly Ringwald is Preggo Girl's mom, Josie Bissett is the other mom. Josie Bissett totally belongs, what with her Melrose Place past, this show has the absolute makings to head down that path. I have no doubt one day we will see one of these ho's in a situation similar to this:
I have money on slutty Adrienne to be the Kimberly of this show
Preggo chick gets knocked up by Ricky then marries Ben, then Ricky dumps slutty Adrienne to date Grace who's brother Tommy Tard follows them around and decides he wants to marry some chick with some jungle fever. Ricky's dad molested him, there are fake i.d.s, the Principal is just TRYING to help these kids but can't help but tell them all whats going on in everyone elses life (and they're all super BFF with their Obama-esque principal), and now they're thinking of putting the baby up for adoption!!! And it's been ONE damn episode, and I doubt I've explained half the plot. It's as convoluted as a Claremont plot, yet far more entertaining. It even has some of it's own fabulous writing ticks:
"We're/I'm in HIGH SCHOOL! We/I can't have a BABY!" Has shown up about three times this episode
"A child doesn't LIE about being MOLESTED" was said twice by Molly Ringwald alone!!
It's that feel good kind of TV that doesn't make you think to hard but wishes it did, and was sure it was teaching you something. In fact, the end of each episode has a PSA!! So responsible! But really, what this show is good for is giving us what's been missing from TV since the first 90210, Melrose Place, Models Inc, and all our favorite 90s prime time soaps. Stupid over the top drama, over acting entertainment!!!
