In the pilot, we see Ricky as a manwhore who took Amy’s virginity and has a thing going on with Adrian. One character was the only reason I watched the show for the last two seasons. But one character actually did a complete 180. Ben…well Ben was always annoying but he just got progressively worse. Adrian seemed to be redeeming herself, but then got pregnant with Ben’s baby and it all went down from there-and not all of that can be blamed on losing the baby. Grace had sex and it all just went down from there (I mean did she really think that she killed her dad by sleeping with Jack? Moron). (I’m a big 7th Heaven fan, which the creator of TSLOTAT created as well, but it also had some terribly shitty writing) Amy went from a shy, obnoxious fifteen year old to a whiny tantrum adult who didn’t pay much attention to her son. As the show progressed, most of the characters got worse as the writing got worse. It included Amy-a pregnant fifteen year old, Ricky-her bad boy baby daddy, Ben-the rich “good” guy, Adrian-the school slut, Jack-the football player, Grace-the Christian and so many others. The story followed the life of a group of high school students going through what “normal” high school students go through. The show debuted in 2008 and ran until 2013. The Secret Life of the American Teenager is one of ABC Family’s most love to hate shows that has ever aired. © 2023 NYP Holdings, Inc.This reviews contains spoilers from all 5 seasons of TSLOTAT, read at your own risk. It’s still OK to have unprotected sex, because if you do, you, too, can end up with great clothes, a great apartment, and more cute guys than even a hooker could find. OK, so then what have we learned in 20 years, boys and girls? Oh, I know! Nothing! They’ve all taken a self-serving stance to a situation that has life-long consequences in the real world. What? Is anyone - from the upper echelons of politics to the lower pits of Hollywood - at all concerned about the message they’re sending by making teen pregnancy and motherhood seem easier than a math final? Correct answer: No. And guess what? The music camp is only for unwed teen mothers! Luckily, every kid there has someone to take care of those pesky, crying babies they left at home!īristol, who should definitely keep her day job (if she has one), does an excruciatingly bad version of herself as a girl whose extraordinary musical abilities have also brought her to the Baked Apple for unwed summer music camp. So how does Amy meet Bristol? Why, in a great apartment building in New York City where they both have free apartments given to them as summer music camp scholarship winners. (Don’t despair! More unweds are on the way!) Tonight at 8, ABC Family’s former quality show, “ The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” stoops to the gutter in a blatant disregard for the children who watch the show by introducing Bristol, the world’s most famous unwed teen mother, to Amy (Shailene Woodley), the show’s famously unwed teen mother. Now, here we are in 2010, and not only do young girls commonly dress like hookers, but no one seems to worry about stupid things like birth control and condoms, which can not just stop the spread of STDs, but prevent pregnancies in girls too young to care for babies in the real world.īut really, if proudly parading your unwed motherhood status is good enough for Bristol Palin, it’s good enough for your kid, too - no? Yes! The message of that movie? Hey kids! You, too, can be a hooker in the big city and end up with a really rich, hunky and brilliant entrepreneur who will buy you great clothes and put you up in a luxury hotel!Īnd not to worry about AIDS, pimps, pushers or Johns who can possibly kill you. It’s been 20 years since “Pretty Woman” hit the screens and the American psyche like an incurable STD.
