Bristol Palin's Acting Debut
This will air on some ABC show called ""The Secret Life of the American Teenager" on July 5th apparently.

I've seen lumber yards less wooden than this performance.

Perhaps if she had developed her sucking skills better, she wouldn't have embarrassed dear mama with that whole evidence-of-pre-marital-sex thing.

Not only was it emotionally flat, but the timing and phrasing wasn't even human-sounding. It reminds me of one of text-to-speech programs, where the individual words sound natural but when strung together it sounds all wrong.

Where are the girl's kids? Why does the one girl think she's Yo-Yo Ma? Who is running this program and why are they only interested in teenage girls with babies? What was that last word she said? Bink?
Too many questions, not enough answers. I can't commit to a show like this again.

Re: Bristol Palin's Acting Debut
I still can't believe a Highly Recommended Review of this show from DVDtalk convinced me to blind buy the first season of this show. When I watched it, I got none of the "realistic look at teenage angst that's still funny" mentioned in the review. Instead I got insipid, one-dimensional characters doing stupid things just to advance the plot and reciting lines that constantly fall flat. Worse blind buy I ever made.
And from the above clip, I see nothing has improved on this show.
