IIL The OC, One Tree Hill, and Gilmore Girls, WEWIL? Okay so I've started a bunch of these silly teen dramas (I know, GG isn't really a teen drama, but I'm including it anyway) like Secret Life of the American Teenager, Gossip Girl, 90210 (the new one), and I hate them all. I hate the characters, no one ever seems to learn anything, and I can barely stomach watching the stupid shows. So, what are some good modern dramas that have likable characters? I don't care if the plot is stupid, as long as there is good character development and decent dialogue that doesn't sound too preachy or forced.
