"Life Unexpected" is cool and deserves to be saved

That headline really says all I want to say here. Life Unexpected is a show that debuted mid-season last year with an excellent pilot, and has continued, despite a couple of rocky producer decisions, to be a lovable addition/addiction to my ever-tightening TV schedule. Well, since I like it and think it's got a lot of good things going for it, it's in ratings trouble. The cast have been working hard to try to get the word out about their show. They suggest telling one person about the show this week to try and increase viewership even a little bit. So, I hope you'll watch it if you don't. It's cool. In the meantime, check out their facebook campaign to spread the word.

"Life Unexpected" Acting Wholesome

Check out this video from Entertainment Weekly featuring the cast of Life Unexpected behind the scenes. You've gotta love a show that doesn't take itself too seriously!

While we're on the subject, what do you people think of Life Unexpected so far this season? In my humble opinion, the series hasn't been as great as last season, which was still admittedly rocky, but there are some very interesting character developments abounding this year. For instance, I love seeing Lux finally warming up to being a regular teenager. I don't like storylines where students pursue teachers and vice versa (I'm looking at you, Pretty Little Liars), but I think it's consistent with the character that she would take something that's a normal high school experience for a lot of people (e.g., having a crush on an older guy/teacher), and turn it into a viable possibility in her mind. She's sort of stuck between trying to be a regular high school student and trying to be older than she is. It's fascinating!

The show isn't amazing at the moment, but it's still imminently watchable and I really enjoy the old-school WB feel. That's my two cents.
