This show started out ridiculous and only continues to get worse with each episode. It's just sooo unrealistic (not to mention sappy and predictable)!
Heavily pregnant teen Katie meets a cute artist who lets her crash at his place for weeks. The guy's only 19 but somehow lives in an apartment that the average New Yorker twice his age couldn't afford. He falls in love with Katie and declares his love for her at the hospital, right after she gives birth to her child. And that seems totally realistic and makes sense because...? Because... Because every 19 year-old kid is just dying to be a father and spend the next 18 years raising another guy's child?
I don't think so!
This is sending out such a TERRIBLE message to teenage girls...
"Get knocked up? No problem. You'll meet a handsome, wealthy prince and live happily ever after and everything will be just wonderful!"
Shame on the writers. Do any of them have daughters or nieces?
And this mirrors a similarly implausible situation with Katie's mother, Sarah. Sarah is out spray-painting graffiti on a building (as a way of sending a message to brat, Katie) and meets the cute, well-off owner of the building who not only doesn't mind her defacing his property but helps her deface it and then asks her out. They're on their first date when Sarah gets the message that Katie is in labor and they rush to the hospital. The knowledge that Sarah has a teenage daughter and that the daughter is having a baby doesn't deter him at all because...? Because... Because every good-looking, well-to-do, 30-something year-old guy is just dying to be a grandpa? And to get seriously involved with a single mom and grandma? Yeah, that happens every day in NY...
NOT!
And Katie naming the baby Cooper? We all knew that was going to happen the second she asked Nick what his friend's name was. Do the writers just type a few key words into some script-generating software and then go out for drinks and come back a couple of hours later? I'm seriously starting to think that I should try my hand at screen-writing but I'm torn as to whether I should actually try and write something good or just write the sappiest, pappiest, most PC thing possible and then laugh all the way to the bank, after the network bidding war!
Once again, Enzo is shown to be the only cool character on the show. Just make an Enzo spin-off show and lose the rest of the cast, already.
