"The Secret Life of the American Teenager" (2:13) You Don't Know What You've Got...

First - How fierce is Molly Ringwald's hair?

Well, one of the shows I love to hate came back with a gay roar last night. It was messy, it was silly, but for some reason this show is to me what those Real Housewives of Peoria are to most people &$8212 irresistible. Still, there were at least four significant gay moments in ABC Family’s runaway hit last night. Plus, Amy only had 30 seconds of screen time, so that was a big plus.

School’s back. It’s unclear what it’s back from, summer, winter, something. Things are kind of timeless here. Amy and her mom and the babies are off visiting grandma. And none of the kids can concentrate on school. I wonder if it’s because they keep having conversations like this in chemistry class?

So they all decide, in separate groups, to ditch class.

A jealous kid decides to trade on the situation with the new school counselor, Dr. Bink, who has a bit of a checkered past, which also has a gay aspect to it. Or incest. I’m confused, but amused. I like her.
