Hey guys go sign the PETITION for ABC Family, and Brenda Hampton: A re-written finale for “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”! By Change.org… Please join this campaign: http://chn.ge/1101Vmu
Our family did not tune into either shows as they do not reflect the type of viewing we select for our household. We are patiently waiting for the renewal of Bunheads which is the only drama on ABC Family that we watch.
I’m so upset about the finally of secret life that was my favorite show I was devoted for five years I was very hurt how it ended no wedding it shoulda been Amy and Ricky I woulda been happy with Ben and Amy Im just truly upset plus what happen with Ethan and Katy plus they coulda shown Ashley for the last ep
I really think it should be another season because I feel like theirs more to it they should have season 6 when amy goes ti college and returns home and get back with ricky and decided to get married with him
