Is anyone else watching ABC Family's "Switched at Birth". I mainlined the whole thing, and do recommend it for the teen soap loving crowd. It also deals with the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community, which I am finding an interesting twist. It also somehow got picked up for 22 more episodes. For the same season, but in January. WHich seems nutty to me. Tha had 8 episodes, and then then were picked up for a "back 22". Weird.
I've been watching it. I thought some of it was a bit too teen-angsty, but a lot of it was really well done. And, it's probably the best non-documentary look at issues in the Deaf community that I've seen. There are a ton of things they don't look at, but I thought the arguments over implants and oralism were done really well.
I am a little nervous, because it is Paul Stupin (show runner of Dawson's Creek post Kevin Williamson), but I have to say that I think Emmett might rival Pacey.
Thanks, Stephanie!
General consensus is don't waste the money on nice paper....
Ooh, I haven't seen Switched at Birth. I don't think I knew it was a TV series; for some reason I assumed it was a TV movie when I saw the ads.
I do have to fess up to having seen every single episode of Pretty Little Liars, though.

He is completely adorable.
The thing I had to get notarized today was actually the contract selling the rights to the bombed YA series I did with Penguin and a book packager back when ... right when I joined the board, actually. It's for ABC Family! Now to see if they ever actually produce it.
I kind of like that the new formula for teen shows seems to be
1. Acquire rights to YA series
2. Cast pretty young people
3. ?????
4. PROFIT.

You know they're starting "The Lying Game" by the same author tonight, right? I haven't read Pretty Little Liars, but I have read Lying Game. Though sounds like the premise of the show is slightly tweaked from the book.
Amy, that's great! Don't you love the smell of signed contracts in the morning?
-t and Ginger, thanks for the food info. Most things do seem to be all right, but the meat and frozen dinners won't be getting a chance to make me sick. (I'm secretly pleased. I didn't want to eat the frozen dinners and I'm glad to have an excuse to throw them out!)
