What you'll get if you mix up together Melrose Place and How I Met Your Mother? Yes, the witty, funny and spontaneous The L.A. Complex, a TV show about vicissitudes of lives happening with group of buoyant young people living in the same apartment complex called The Luxe. Perfectly mixed scandal, drama and romance keep the audience intrigued as it should be expected taking in consideration the fact that The L.A. Complex was created by makers of the most realistic teenagers' television series of early "˜10s, Degrassi: The Next Generation. But the professional creators aren't the main cornerstone of The L.A. Complex success, the perfectly selected and combined cast is the crucial piece in TV show's popularity. Just imagine Jewel Staite (Supernatural, Warehouse 13) playing along with Cassie Steele (mentioned before Degrassi: The Next Generation and My Babysitter's a Vampire), Joe Dinicol (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Flashpoint, Haven) and sexy Chelan Simmons playing Alicia, a sweet , cute and innocent "¦ strip-dancer - certainly a necessary character to attract some share of male audience, which is undoubtedly kind of smart step taken by the series' plot creators.

The Scribner authors who rose to 1930s and 1940s prominence under Max Perkins's skilled tutelage understood the best way to change the world is to represent it precisely--in minute detail and in all its grim, unforgiving, and frightening ugliness. MTV's "16 and Pregnant" brings the same principle to television, accurately and unblinkingly showing the lives of four expectant teen-agers, mercilessly exploiting every ugly stereotype of life on the perilous edge of poverty and powerlessness. The New York Times suggests, "The implicit message at the center of ["16 and Pregnant's] class prejudice tells us that if you're not setting out for Berkeley or Wesleyan, then raising a child when you ought to be working on the yearbook is as good a road to character development as any." The Times unfortunately mistakes power and poignancy for "prejudice." After viewing even one episode of "16 and Pregnant," any observant sophomore will make a headlong dash for Planned Parenthood, the glee club, and an SAT prep course.
