Bunheads is approaching the goodness of Gilmore Girls. Please give it a second season. It is a wonderful and intelligent show.

I liked nine lives of chloe king & loved miobi but they were cancelled. Now the only good shows on this channel are Pll,Jane by Design,Bunheads,Lying Game. I hope Bunheads at least gets more episodes(i doubt jbd will & tlg after its initial season two order).I was really hoping Secret Circle woulget to air on abcfamily.The Mexican telenova and the JLO lesbian pilots they picked up dont interest mr.I watched Wilfire too.abcfamily & CW are my favorite channels.

There is quite a drop off in viewers after Pretty Little Liars and Switched at Birth. Kind of reminds me of the CW.

Love Secret Life, Melisa & Joey, Baby Daddy, and Jane By Design. I also love Switched at Birth and Lying Game. I would watch even more of this channel if they would bring back Chloe King, and Huge, and Make it or Break It. And if this network is smart they will jump on picking up Secret Circle and keep that running as well. The audience is perfect for this show. One can only hope.

The whole show is on Netflix if you can get that. Well worth watching, and reading if you like that as well.

I was going to buy the books then read reviews on Amazon and the books are not as good as the show. From most of the reviewers ABC did a great job adapting the books and made them even more exciting. I really wish they had kept the show.

Greek got me watching abc family. Then PLL & 9 Lives kept me interested. Other than Secret Life of the American Teenager, which I’ve tried but it’s just not for me, everything else they offer is good. But The Lying Game is great! Maybe the best show on TV because it’s not about the super rich like Revenge or Dallas, but about characters and life styles that I can relate to. The story line twists and reveals are top notch. And if they make Sutton the killer of Derek, it would make TLG epic as no leading character in these types of shows has ever been a cold blooded murderer. I think TLG has at least five seasons, if not more, ahead.

This story says it was updated on 7/1 however I don’t see any changes (unless it was updated with ratings info??) There are only 2 more comments after mine even.

In response to Kat: I will never understand why they canceled that show. However, I have heard there is a movie in the works, and have recently discovered the book series the show was based on. It helps to ease the pain of the gaping hole created by the loss of this show. :)

Bethany ยป Yes, where appropriate it’s been updated with ratings information and number of new episodes remaining.

Kat July 12, 2012 at 10:40 am

Yeah, I’ve heard about the possible movie, too. I hope it happens! I may start reading the books at some point, but they’re so different from the show that I really just wish I could have more of the show at this point, hehe.

The shows I watch(ed) on this network are Secret Life, Chloe King, State of Georgia, Melissa & Joey, Baby Daddy, Switched at Birth, Lying Game, Jane by Design, Greek, and Make it or Break it. I didn’t even see Huge on here, and LOVED that show. The shows I will never watch are Pretty Little Liars, and Bunheads (been there done that), and Beverly Hills Nannies. Too bad Chloe King got canceled. It just left a timeslot available to show these last few shows mentioned.

You do realize that Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game are based off of books by the same author and have extremely similar plots, right? So, how can you say you like one and not the other?

Reply

Bethany August 9, 2012 at 5:45 am

I simply enjoy one and not the other. I don’t like the storyline on PLL but do on TLG. I think TLG has better actors. Not that the others are not talented, just that they don’t engage me the way TLG does.

I enjoyed reading Twilight Saga as well, but The Host is probably one of the worst books I have ever attempted to read. Getting through the Hunger Games series was easier than reading that book. Just because a book is by the same author, and often has hints of similar storyline, doesn’t mean everyone will like everything they write.
