The drama and secrets continue in the top rated second season of the hit ABC Family original series that has fans and critics buzzing all across America. Good girl band geek Amy is smart, talented and pregnant. That’s just one of the secrets that Amy, her friends and family deal with in this poignant portrait of modern day high school life. Experience an award winning series overflowing with humor, heart and compassion.
Bonus Features Include: Cast secrets revealed, exclusive music video of the Strange Familiar, behind the scenes with the cast, on set interviewsHigh school is challenging enough for most teenagers–doubly so for a pregnant 15-year-old. Amy (Shailene Woodley) and Ben (Ken Baumann) start the year by planning a wedding at the same time her mother, Anne (Molly Ringwald, who sings the pop-tastic theme song), looks for work and files for divorce from the obnoxious George (Mark Derwin), leaving Amy out of luck in the childcare department. It almost plays like a sequel to Saved!, except the comedy isn’t quite so edgy. Amy’s friends include good girl Grace (Megan Park) and bad girl Adrian (Francia Raisa), with whom she has something in common: “troubled narcissistic underachiever” Ricky (Darren Kagasoff), the father of her baby, who dates Grace by day and sleeps with Adrian by night.
The Secret Life is, essentially, a teen soap, an impression reinforced by the presence of Beverly Hills 90210‘s Jason Priestley in the director’s chair and Melrose Place‘s Josie Bissett as Grace’s mom (another familiar primetime face, John Schneider, plays her father), but it still bears comparison to Brenda Hampton’s 7th Heaven, since there are several well adjusted Christian characters, like the Bowmans (Grace’s family) and the Stones (Grace’s sometime-boyfriend Jack’s family).
As the second season swings into full gear, Anne meets a new man, Adrian falls for her stepbrother, Amy’s sarcastic 13-year-old sister, Ashley (India Eisley), gets her first boyfriend, and Amy finally decides whether to keep the baby or not. Supplemental materials include the featurette “Character Secrets,” in which the actors discuss their roles, and “Cast Close-ups,” in which they reveal information about themselves. Ringwald, for instance, cites The Breakfast Club as the top pick from her filmography, while Baumann acknowledges that he used to be a department-store-catalog model. –Kathleen C. Fennessy

“The Secret Life of the American Teenager – Season Two” is a bland copy of “Beverly Hills 90210.” Aired on the ABC Family network, it features an idealized collection of Abercrombie & Fitch-looking teens mouthing insipid dialogue, and trowels the soap opera on by the carload. These Disney-fied people are pretty, have the depth of a rain puddle, and carry more angst on any given day than older characters on daytime soaps. The sudsy plots hinge on relationships, breakups, concern about the future, betrayal, and one Big Revelation after another. Especially irritating is the halfhearted manner in which the writers address topics important to teens, such as sex, parental control, and peer pressure. The episodes have a preachy quality that might have worked when Annette Funicello was the iconic American teen, but ring completely out of sync with contemporary teenagers. Bonus features include a music video, the cast blathering on about their “secrets,” and on-set personal videos. Both the shows and the extras are huge doses of dopiness.

After seeing the first season of the show on both TV and DVD there was something about it that kept my interest. When Season 2 never aired in Canada, I was anxious for the dvd release. I pre-ordered it and it arrived last week. So far, I have watched the first two episodes of the season and they were funnier, warmer, more interesting and all around much better than the first 11 episodes of the first season. I hope season 2 continues to be just as good!

I don’t have cable so I missed the show on TV. I purchased season one at Walmart, and was able to sell it here and get season two. Now I’m waiting for season 3 to be released.
