This is so sad to hear!! Can you please make another season and finish it with a good ending. There has to be more. So many people love this show and never knew it was cancelled. Please please please consider another season. I want to see Ricky and Amy happy. Please just one more season to finish the show. The secret life of the American teenager has such a relating plot for some teens and it has the attention of people that love ABC. Please make another season.

This is sad news. While my wife and I are out of the target demo of this show (late 20’s), we both got hooked on this show from the beginning and have faithfully watched every episode. While, yes, it’s childish feel-good life lesson fluff, and the actors are probably older than we are playing teenagers… we thought they had been setting up a new cast of characters to carry on the show while allowing the original cast to move on. Oh well.
