It started out a bit rough, but by the half-way mark, I was enjoying it more and more. I bought the relationships and I laughed it, and even had an 'aww!' moment at the end.

See, I think Shannon makes the show funny. Of course, she's a terrible person ( or so we are suppose to think). She's a teenager who's had, up to this point in her life, no good adult role models. If the show continues, she will get better. That's the way it is on these kind of shows. I guess no one here is old enough to remember Archie Bunker-- even as an adult, he was loud, crude, a bigot and not too bright. But he got better as time went on. Not really trying to talk anyone into liking this show, to each his own, you know. But I think it's a pretty good, easy to enjoy show and I do hope it gets renewed. But, CBS has a nasty habit in cancelling at least one sitcom that I like( usually a new one) every year, so I fully expect that this will get the ax.
