Table for 12: who knows?

The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Ricky just won't let Adrian go to the therapist! He just wants to be able to influence her, meany. Ashley was really awkward when she walked in on Adrian and Ricky making out... I can't figure out that director's choice right now. Why is Ricky going to George with his problems? And why is George so fatherly to him (aside from the fact he's the baby daddy)? The Ben-George conversation was even stranger. WHY CAN'T GEORGE REMEMBER THAT HE'S DIVORCED?!??! um, the entire world needs to stop coming to George!!! the gay guy too?!??? The look on Grace's face when Jack suggested oral sex was hilarious. Adrian talking about her first time was strange, but I suppose it was good for the youngins to hear. I love Ricky's vulnerable moments, like the "what if" conversation he and Adrian had. Why is Amy back to wearing her old frumpy clothes and not the tight, cute things. How come George and Amy thought of Moose the dog and not calling 911 themselves? I love the idea of George ordering Amy and Ashley to be nurses, and that everyone just laughed and laughed. Similarly, the damn dog calling 911 over and over is ridiculous, especially since it stopped the paramedics from coming when needed. And still the dog managed to convince the 911 operator this time was real?!? what is it, two short barks and a howl? The Madison-Lauren scene in the end was annoying, and it also distressed me that Jack and Madison had oral over the summer. With the Ben-Henry-Alice scene, it just seemed like they wanted to bring in Alice and Henry one last time. How come George feels the need to freak out that baby Robbie isn't his? LoL.

I'd really like it if they changed the opening to show the characters instead of just that cartoon thing.

Cake Boss: off.

Tuesday:
18 Kids and Counting: caught the Bowling Birthday Party. The Duggars don't bowl, but the Kellers apparently do, LoL. I'm pretty surprised that one of them managed to get a 108! I'm hard-pressed to break 100 anytime I go, and usually I have a hard time breaking 80. We also saw Cousin Amy's house (assuming she lives with her mother, she might actually have her own apt somewhere), which is pretty nice, and has a GIANT television. We also saw little James get a brand-new bike (which makes sense, not all of those 6 tiny boys can have a hand-me-down bike right now, LoL), and it was nice to watch the patience of Jim Bob while James tried out a ton of bikes and helmets.

Still missing "Duggars in Dixie" and "Duggars and Bates Reloaded"

Wednesday:
South Park: October 7th.

Glee: HAAAAATED the opening. Let's be real, peeps. I love the teacher's outfits, tho! I'm SOOOOO over Mercedes. She's the most annoying character I've come across in a long time. She's almost enough of a reason to give up on this show. I love that we're throwing in some teenage issues... but eating disorders this early on is problematic. BitchTeacherSue is over the top, who really gives that much of a d@mn about making 17 photocopies?!? Why was the principal mesmorized by the song during the pep rally? there is too much romance-drama going on tho, I can't handle the dumbness of HS kids these days.

Wipeout: caught the last two parts of the episode. A combination of the President's address running over and my thinking it was on at 8, not 9, caused me to miss the first half. But it was bad, so I'm not even planning on trying to watch the beginning. The characters weren't full of life, the hostess was pretty blase, and the Wipeout Zone just wasn't as exciting as usual. What WAS neat was seeing each contender come in with a better score than the one before (for the first three anyway).

Thursday:
16 and Pregnant: off-season.
