    “The Secret Life of the American Teenager – Season Two” is a bland copy of “Beverly Hills 90210.” Aired on the ABC Family network, it features an idealized collection of Abercrombie & Fitch-looking teens mouthing insipid dialogue, and trowels the soap opera on by the carload. These Disney-fied people are pretty, have the depth of a rain puddle, and carry more angst on any given day than older characters on daytime soaps. The sudsy plots hinge on relationships, breakups, concern about the future, betrayal, and one Big Revelation after another. Especially irritating is the halfhearted manner in which the writers address topics important to teens, such as sex, parental control, and peer pressure. The episodes have a preachy quality that might have worked when Annette Funicello was the iconic American teen, but ring completely out of sync with contemporary teenagers. Bonus features include a music video, the cast blathering on about their “secrets,” and on-set personal videos. Both the shows and the extras are huge doses of dopiness.

    After seeing the first season of the show on both TV and DVD there was something about it that kept my interest. When Season 2 never aired in Canada, I was anxious for the dvd release. I pre-ordered it and it arrived last week. So far, I have watched the first two episodes of the season and they were funnier, warmer, more interesting and all around much better than the first 11 episodes of the first season. I hope season 2 continues to be just as good!

    I don’t have cable so I missed the show on TV. I purchased season one at Walmart, and was able to sell it here and get season two. Now I’m waiting for season 3 to be released.
