Life Unexpected: For fans of the good ole' days when "Dawson's Creek" and "Felicity" were on TV, this is a new show that will bring you back to the days of the WB. Though it was picked up by the CW, this show embodies all the teenage angst that the WB had to offer a few years ago. "Life Unexpected" tells the story of 16-year-old Lux (played by Britt Robertson), who goes on a search for her birth parents so she can become an emancipated minor and stop being bounced around from foster home to foster home. Her parents (played by Shiri Appleby and Kristoffer Polaha) had Lux while they were still in high school and are everything that Lux seems not to be. Not only do they both have dark hair and Lux is a blonde, but also their personalities just don't seem to mix. Lux's mother, Cate Cassidy, is a type-A radio DJ and engaged to her on-air costar, but she simply refuses to commit. Lux's father, Blaze, is a slacker who lives above the bar that he owns and operates. As soon as Lux enters their lives, both Cate and Blaze begin to reevaluate the way they have been living. Between the sexual tension between Cate and Blaze and the sarcastic wit that Lux hands out in the most awkward moments, this show is not only vintage WB but also highly enjoyable. "Life Unexpected" airs Monday at 8 p.m. on the CW.
Greek: It is their senior year and the one semester that will change their lives. Our favorite college co-eds are back for more "will-they-or-won't-they" moments and plenty of drama. When we left off last season, Cappie and Casey had finally gotten back together after sharing a kiss on Thanksgiving, and Evan and Cappie seem to be back to being friends after three years of hating each other. Everything was smooth sailing until Evan got three of Cappie's fraternity brothers expelled and the ZBZ girls, including Casey, burned down a rival sorority house. The questions remain on whether Cappie and Evan will be able to mend their friendship and whether the girls of ZBZ can live with the guilt of accidentally setting another sorority house on fire. Dobler's anyone?
