Touched by an Angel, 7th Heaven, and Home Improvement are some of the best shows ever made. far from terrible. And George Lopez is pretty good too.

secret life of american teenager is on abc family so it probaly doesnt need as many viewers to be concider to stay around than if it were on a regular network channel like abc nbc or cbs

Mmmh, compare Arrested Development with other completely different shows and blame the audience because it lasted less! How clever!
The writer maybe thinks that everyone is like herself, and the target is the same.
Truth is shows like '7th Heaven' and 'Charmed' are not terrible at all, they fit perfectly for the audience they are written for.
