The TV Chick

When last we left our polar opposite sisters, Kat and Bianca (Lindsay Shaw and Meghan Jette Martin respectively), they both were up to some sort of trouble. Kat was standing up for her and Patrick’s (Ethan Peck) rights and ditches school on his motorcycle. Bianca was making out with Joey (Chastity’s ex), and Cameron saw them. What will happen now? Well, of course there are consequences for their actions.The season premiere is aptly titled “Da Reprecussions.” Bianca is still dating Joey, and Chastity apparently only saw that he was making out with a blonde and is determined to find out which one. Patrick and Kat are on a beach after being told they would be suspended. He wants to make out, she wants to bask in her rebellion. That is until she realizes her dad will kill her. And Cameron, poor Cameron. He considers apologizing to Bianca but realizes that he didn’t do anything wrong. Things are still awkward between them. When Bianca concocts a plan to erase the security tapes of her and Joey making out, they involve Joey stealing the keys from Cameron to the AV closet. I don’t want to spoil too much and tell you what happens in her crazy plan, but I can tell you that the end result is a really sweet. Later, Kat sneaks into school (yeah you heard that right) for a pretty ridiculous reason. Kat’s dad finds out and has to meet with the principal, but it’s clear how much he loves and admires his daughters.

Towards the end of last season, the show really got into a groove. It found it’s own voice– instead of focusing on the movie of the same name — and became a funny and quirky high school centric show. Everyone can relate to high school drama, unrequited love and being rejected. Why not watch actors relive it for you? I adored Meghan Jette Martin in Camp Rock (Camp Rock 2 will be released this summer), and I think it takes a really good actress to play a character like Bianca. Check out my interview with her from last season here. I also hear she will be singing in an upcoming episode with Dana Davis (Chastity) and I’m pretty excited about that. Lindsay Shaw also plays the serious but slightly rebellious/against the grain teenager role well. It’s a very fun show. I’m glad that it was able to find its voice and focus on the relationships, and not just boxing the characters in to their specific cliques.

The show is worth checking out if you enjoy ABC Family shows (you know I do!). The (mid) season premiere is tonight at 8 pm on ABC Family. And if you missed any of last season, there is a marathon starting at 3 pm today.
