The Secret Life of the American Teenager - Season One (DVD, 2008, Boxed Set)

Product was great and shipped quickly. I would do business again. Everything is exactly as described and the price is also great.

i like that this is family orientated that it covers an uncomfortable subject that most parents dont like to talk about with there teens. sex. when your teenager is watching the show you can use the text of the show to talk about what to do or not to do in the situation when pressured to have sex. it helps to ease into the birds and bees conversation with your child.

The seller was very fast in shipping. It was brand bnew and go it it for a very good price. .

I bought the movie, because my girlfriend loves the show, cant wit to but other seasons! Good Show for kids.

i love the dvd this seller is a good seller i will buy from them again great person easy to talk about the dvd .

Thank you! cant wait to watch it! i have no movies at my house so this is a treat. :D fast shipping also!!!

My favorite summer serie! You have to see it. Fantastic story that can happen anywhere.

I honestly do not know why there are such rave reviews over this show. The concept was a good one and ideal for the teen pregancy problems that most kids face today. However, after watching the show I have to be honest and say I was very disappointed. I grew up watching Molly Ringwald, and was always a big fan of her work. But the acting in this series was too much for me. It's not believeable and over-the-top with how chessy bad the acting is. I gotta say that if the acting was better the show may have been a hit for me, but as it is the acting is so bad it's almost hard to stomach. The only believeable characters I have seen in the show is Adrian and Grace. Their acting and their characters are believable. The others... not so much.

Amy, the main character who gets pregnant, is so whiny and self-absorbed that I cannot stand her. I mean, I REALLY cannot stand her. She is so annoying she is hard to watch. Instead of feeling pity for her I want to just smack her across the face and tell her to suck it up and ACT less witchy. She whines and complains so much that I now have an aversion to her character. I just cannot believe how hyped up the show is with how BAD the acting is in it. Really.

I want to like the show, after all, my kids like it and I feel the message is important for them to watch. BUT, I am at the point now where it's almost getting to be too much.... between the acting being so lousy and some of the show's story lines... it's like a snowball going down hill FAST in my eyes. The show HAD promise but the unrealistic acting and getting bad story lines are just turning me away from even WANTING to watch it.

this was a very good experience for me, I am new to ebay, and i would buy again from this seller, Had no problems and she was extremly understanding and I really appreciate her.

This is a great show, I've seen every episode. Most parts of the show are very realistic, and it help teens to understand how their decisions affect others.

Condition was excellent. Shipping was surprisingly quick.We dont have cable so I've been looking in all the stores for this set, on one is caring it. Thank You my daughter will be very happy.

I haven't viewed the dvd yet because it is a birthday present for my daughter. But, the item came wrapped as new and was delivered in a short period of time. I would purchase from this supplier again.

My daughter loved it. Price was great and shipping wasn't bad. Fast service. I will use half.com again.

This is a great show me and my teenage daughters watch it all the time.....really good oppertunity to discuss hard to talk about issues with your children. Brings it more to there world I think. Great show can't wait to buy season two.

bc it talk to kids about baby and what thay can do to you when are not reddy for them . it help teens to talk to there mom and dad about sex and have that sex talk it good

I liked the fact that this person was fast at delivering this season in time for my fiancee's birthday.

This show is complicated and somehow everyone is tied together one way or another. It's a little confusing at first but once everything settles the show takes off and doesn't come back down. Teens getting pregnant, wanting sex, cheating on each other, and falling in love. This is a good show in my opinion. A real must see.

It's a good show. First saw it and love it. Tell you a lot of things the the girl (amy) in the movie. What she had to go through when she was prego. It is a great movie.

this is about a teenager who was the least likely to get pregnant that on the first time she had sex she got pregnant. some parts are very corney but other parts are very real issues that teens deal with on a daily basis.

This cautionary series, which begins Tuesday on ABC Family, woodenly follows the trials of a 15-year-old named Amy (Shailene Woodley), a good student and dutiful daughter who becomes pregnant the first time she has sex. “I didn’t exactly realize what was happening until like after two seconds, and then it was over,” Amy tells her two best friends.

Her friends tell her she has options, but abortion is apparently not one of them; that choice is dismissed right away in horrified tones. The despairing Amy does not even know the baby’s father well enough to tell him, and he probably wouldn’t care; he’s a cad in the high school band who sleeps with as many girls as he can because, viewers quickly learn, he has low self-esteem.

That part is kind of fun. “Secret Life,” however, actually tries at times to be funny, and that makes it painful to watch. The peripheral presence of Ms. Ringwald, once the teenage heroine of John Hughes classics like “The Breakfast Club” and “Sixteen Candles,” is almost taunting, a reminder that these teenage morality plays have been made many times before, much better.

And that legacy makes it all the more sinful that ABC Family underestimates its viewers’ sophistication. Even for a didactic work made in collaboration with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, “Secret Life” is surprisingly unimaginative. The star of the football team, Jack (Greg Finley), is an earnest Christian, and so is his girlfriend, Grace (Megan Park), a blond, bubbly cheerleader who wears a promise ring to symbolize her vow to her parents to delay sex until marriage.

Jack has also taken a vow of abstinence, but Grace wants to finish medical school before marrying. Jack finds this test of his faith, and the ring, a bit daunting. “Sexual purity before marriage isn’t a one-time vow, Grace,” he says at lunch period. “It’s a daily recommitment to God and his plan for us.”

ABC Family means well but could not have done worse. “Secret Life” doesn’t take the fun out of teenage pregnancy, it takes the fun out of television.

this is a awesome show. i defn. say to get it i love this show . the guys are funny the girls are cute & funny so enjoy it really shows what happens to rich pregnant chicks

I love this DVD The acting is really great and The story line is something that a lot of teenagers in this country are facing right now I love Molly Ringwald as the mother

I heard about this tv show through a friend and decided to buy the season because I could never catch it on tv airtime.So I bought it on ebay because I couldn't find it at stores. This was a very good show and I bought it at a very reasonable price.

Secret Life is a great show. My daugther and I watch it together. It opens the door to communictions. Excellent Show. Recommend to any one with teenagers.
