Life As We Know It- it's this random one-season TV series DVD I unearthed at the Northeast Branch Library. I think the creator was aiming for a male take on My So-Called Life. Anyway, I've been eying it for a few weeks and finally grabbed it yesterday. Must have been caffeine-induced optimism. See, I've never actually heard anyone mention it, so I was skeptical. But I recognized all of the key actors, and they have gone on to successful TV/Film careers (i.e. gymnast from Stick It, kid from Private Practice, undercover cop from 90210, hot guy from Never Back Down, um Kelly Osbourne). Besides, I had intended to indulge my inner high schooler, and finally pick up Freaks N Geeks at my brother Eames' insistence, but for once it someone else had rented it. So I was desperate. And I grabbed this random dramedy Life As We Know It.
And it's cool. I'm into it. The plot points are as cliche as any other after school special, but the story moves and the acting is pretty strong. Plus, it's only one season. In and out. I like short-term commitments. This I know.
So I'm not ready to recommend the show yet, but take a cute peek if you are in the mood for teen humor...

I totally watched that show!!! I liked it and was bummed they canceled it. One season is definitely a short term commitment, but you shouldn't be a part of those.
