ABC Family Cancels "The Secret Life of the American Teenager"

"The Secret Life of the American Teenager" has been canceled, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Its current fifth season will be its last, with the final 12 episodes airing in March 2013.

The ABC Family series debuted in 2008, averaging 3.51 million viewers in its first season. The first half of Season 5 saw record lows, with only 1.06 million tuning in for the Aug. 13 episode, while 1.54 tuned in for the midseason finale on Aug. 27.

The series did, however, make a star out of Shailene Woodley, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Descendants.

Oh dear! Well, I just watched their Christmas episode that came on this week & it wasn't great. I can't stand Adrienne!

I started watching this show by accident. I was board one night and saw it being streamed on Netflix, so I watched it. I liked it at first because of Molly Ringwald, and it was kind of interesting, and in a way reminded me of 7th heaven, but the show has been getting boring in season 4, so I tuned out. I will not miss it.
