Huh?

So, I watched yet another episode of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." It's so bad, it's kinda good in a way. However, there are some points where I think the writers put zero thought into how it makes sense. For instance:

Molly Ringwald is upset that her daughters' doctor (who shall be referred to as Aunt Julie, since that's the character she played on 7th Heaven) took on a partner. Okay, my pediatrician took on partners and my Mom never threw a fit over it. It's not like she's handing the practice over. Just get appointments on the days Aunt Julie is there. But to add to this, Molly is pissed off that Aunt Julie's new partner is John Schneider, the guy who married her husband's ex-wife! WHAT? Since ABC Family doesn't understand the concept of "spoilers" when writing character bios, we know that Amy's Dad was a cheater and that's most likely why Josie Bisset ended their marriage. We're also told that Molly found out she was pregnant with Amy when she was young and married Amy's Dad, meaning the relationship may not have been incredibly old at the time. And if Josie Bisset waited for John Schneider to finish medical school and also have two children OLDER than Amy, then Molly wasn't the one who broke up the marriage. So, why care that it's him who is the partner?

The writing still falls flat. Who would say "I like sex" to their school counselor? If someone in my school said that, they would be in serious trouble. Of course, I went to Catholic school but I can't see public school being that much more liberal on the topic. Also, why do the best friends get squicked out when the brother says "fetus"? They're 15, not 12. They may not be old enough to care for a fetus, but they can certainly say the term. Besides, if the brother is old enough to drive, it means that both he and his sister have the same maturity level. Or did someone on the writing staff forget that girls mature faster than guys?

I'll probably tune in next week. Looks like Amy will finally tell dear ole Mom and Dad about the baby. And maybe Molly can finally show some real acting chops.
