life as we know it

I caught the new ABC show, life as we know it, because it re-airs on ABC Family during the weekend. I'm not that impressed. I don't know if I'll watch it again. First of all, what's up with the lower case 'l' in the title? Also, the storyline about the teacher liking the one boy? Eww. Isn't that inappropriate? And unlikely? Maybe I'm clueless and that sort of thing happens a lot more frequently than I think, but I'm guessing she isn't going to go for the dorky kid if she is interested in anyone. Also, Kelly Osbourne? I wanted to like her, but I don't know. I think she was trying to ditch her accent in some scenes and wasn't in other scenes.

Overall, I felt they tried to push too much into the first episode (we had to immediately find out that his mom his cheating on his dad? And with the hockey coach, no less? Granted, he was good-looking, but couldn't they have introduced another character into the mix? I'm not buying that the hockey coach would be with Dino's mom at all). I wasn't buying a lot of it. Maybe I'll check out one more episode before I write it off. It might be better if they sort of delayed the storylines a bit and concentrated on just ONE or TWO an episode. Of course, I'm guessing it isn't going to be sticking around long if they keep it in that time slot. It's up against The Apprentice and CSI. And, I think The O.C. is going to be on at 9:00 pm Thursdays, too.
