Chicago – The wave of TV on DVD sets that always comes crashing down upon us after the end of a traditional September-to-May season is still a few months off, but a few interesting releases have popped up recently and we thought they each deserved a mini-review for potential fans out there looking for something new now that their DVRs have gotten pretty empty. Take notes, there might be a test at the end.

A new episode of Life Unexpected will be airing on February 8. We previously posted two sneak peeks and a promo for the episode (along with some photos), and now the CW has released two additional sneak peeks for us to share with you. You can check them out below.
Lux Gets Suspended From School
When Lux (Britt Robertson) gets suspended from school, Cate (Shiri Appleby) does her best to convince Principal Dugan (guest star Merrilyn Gann, “Everwood”) to give Lux a second chance, but, unfortunately, her efforts may have made the situation considerably worse for Lux.
Meanwhile, Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) is insulted when he finds out that Cate and Ryan (Kerr Smith) are hosting a radio station event at the bar across the street. Austin Basis also stars.

My inbox is pleased. It has received more than a few questions regarding the CW's new series "Life Unexpected" and it sounds as though you're loving it just like we are.
Answers to a few of your queries...
I really enjoyed the storyline with Bug and Tasha and Tasha's boyfriend on the last "Life Unexpected" episode. Bug is soooooooo hot!! Is he going to be a regular part of the show? Please say yes. And what about Tasha and her bf? -Katherine
Show creator Liz Tigelaar tells me Tasha's bf, Gavin, will be back, but more toward the end of the season. Both Bug and Tasha, however, are a big part of the series. Lux's friendship with Tasha and her relationship with Bug will continue to be challenged because of the new life she's living and we'll get to watch that all play out.
But, Bug fans, beware. Liz says...

A new episode of Life Unexpected will be airing on February 8 and the CW has released a few promo photos and a synopsis, which you can view below. I don't know how Lux gets suspended, but maybe it has something to do with bongs?

We don't know how the bong will come into play here since Lux (Britt Robertson) already sold it to one of her little high school playmates on the last episode, but from the title alone, it sounds like it's going to caues some trouble.
On the next episode of Life Unexpected, Lux starts to try to adjust to her new school. And what's the best way to get used to her new environment? Get suspended of course. Dutifully, Cate (Shiri Appleby) comes over and does her best to convince Principal Dugan (guest star Merrilyn Gann) to give Lux a second chance, but ends up making things worse.
