Good news for fans of The Secret Life of the American Teenager! ABC Family has ordered 13 more episodes of the new show that is breaking rating records for the network.
After just three episodes, I’m pretty impressed that the network has decided to stick behind the show, created by 7th Heaven’s Brenda Hampton.
The July 1 premiere of Secret Life set records in several rating categories, including ranking as no. 1 in its time slot versus all cable. It also is the network’s most-watched original series. All three episodes of Secret Life have done equally well, ranking as the No. 1 program in the hour on key demographics. The episodes also have ranked No. 1 in television downloads on iTunes the day after their premieres.
Ten episodes are planned by Sept. 9, with the show to return in January for 12 more episodes.
The Secret Life of the American Teenager cast includes Shailene Woodley as 15-year-old pregnant teen Amy, Molly Ringwald as Anne, Mark Derwin as George, India Eisley as Ashley, Kenny Baumann as Ben, Daren Kagasoff as Ricky, Francia Raisa as Adrian, Megan Park as Grace, Greg Finley as Jack and Jorge–Luis Pallo as Mark. Guest stars are John Schneider as Marshall, Josie Bissett as Kathleen, Ernie Hudson as Ricky’s counselor and Steve Schirripa as Leo.
According to TV Guide, Lucy Liu was officially announced as part of the cast of Dirty Sexy Money during the fall TV press tour and discussed her new role and turning 40 years old!
ABC chose to keep Liu close by after canceling the freshman series Cashmere Mafia.

Fifteen-year-old teenager Amy (Shailene Woodley) isn’t ready to tell anyone — especially her parents — that she is pregnant. But after her mother bumps into her doctor, how long can she keep the secret?
In the third episode “I Feel Sick” of ABC Family’s new hit teen drama Secret Life of the American Teenager, Amy is still in denial that she’s pregnant and doesn’t appear to have any intentions of telling anyone about her pregnancy. Besides her occasional morning sickness, Amy is trying to disguise her few extra pounds with loose clothing and avoiding her friend’s constant advice that she needs to tell her parents. Read More

I can see why they made the name change for Project Gary I guess, as Mohr plays a divorced father, but still, were they afraid Project Gary sounded like a science project? And Surviving the Filthy Rich’s name change? I don’t see that the word "privileged" as being any better (plus I hate spelling that word!), but who am I to make decisions?
Please, networks, we are too close to the fall season … wait, there’s another that’s considering a name change … Fox hasn’t made up their minds on their working title of the new fall animated seriesSit Down Shut Up about unconventional teachers and staff. I wonder if they will change the name as well?

Okay, you gotta check out the first 10 minutes of Comedy Central’snew reality parody showReality Bites Back, which premieres at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT Thursday, July 17.
Talk about twists! In Reality Bites Back, 10 comedians will compete in weekly parodies of made-up reality shows that mirror real reality shows such as American Idol, Survivor, The Amazing Race, American Gladiators and more. Providing sarcastic comments along the way is host Michael Ian Black.
For example, in the 10-minute preview of the first show, the contestants are competing in the fake reality show “Extreme Manipulation: House Edition.” When the contestants are put in the situation where they have to seduce a person in the dark as seen by night vision cameras, it’s almost pee-in-your-pants funny when the lights are turned on, and in most cases, it’s their mother sitting there either laughing or staring in horror at their child trying to tell them “sweet nothings.” Be sure to hit the play button again and notice the naked contestant when they show the group in front of the mansion.
