New ‘Man Of Steel’ Television Spot #6


Good news! This is a great show and a bit more creative than Secret Life of The American Teenager that basically consists of the kids talking about having sex every other scene. Gets a little boring after a couple seasons. Pretty Little Liars is suspensful and fun to watch.
I completely get these ratings. I’m 23, tuned in for some research on one story line, and I’ve been hooked. It has the potential to stay this strong for a long time, and Sara Sheppard publicly backing the show if it goes off book can only be good for the show.
I’m 35, male and love this show.
Sad really….
Yay! This is my summer guilty pleasure. I love the books so much, and the acting is pretty good for an ABC Fam show. I hope PLL doesn’t get cancelled anytime soon.
Yes, this is a very intriguing show. Good for them.
all the above comments are right on. TOTAL GUILTY PLEASURE. this is a terrific summer show that one can also watch year round.
and how about FABULOUS BEEKMAN BOYS. what a pleasure to watch too.
Great show! and i love the ABC family brand.
Paul Lee is a great guy and is doing a great job. More power to him.
Finally – a smart move by the entertainment industry.
I love the show and I’m 42 and watch it with both of my girls, 18 and 12..keep it coming!!!
Tom – Who is Paul Lee and why does he get so much credit? He’s not in this story…
Not sure about his exact title, but Paul Lee is the head of programming for ABC Family
I am in love with the series. It ahas at least one if not more cliffhangers each episode.
best show, best books!
