          I really hope that everyone, well more like all girls, are watching this show.  It is phenomenal.  It is well written and the actors are great.  The subject matter is almost hard to watch but in a good way.  It is one of those very rare shows that is emotional and makes you cheer for every character.

          A very brief description is that the story is about Lux, a foster child, that ends up living with the parents, Baz and Kate, that gave her up.  Baz is still kind of a screw up and Kate is a successful radio personality that is dating her cohost Ryan.  The plot revolves around each of them growing up and trying to be a family.

          So let me first say, I am not the kind of girl that cries often.  Like movie wise I can count the times I’ve cried on one hand.  Less.  The only three I can think of is Marley and Me (I’m an animal person) and Adam.  Maybe I got a little misty eyed at Blind Side too.  Can’t remember. Books sometimes make me cry.  Television shows and for the most part real life, never make me cry.

          In just this week’s episode of Life Unexpected, I cried multiple times.  Full on tears rolling down my cheeks, sniffling kind of crying.  Ah when Lux was talking about her childhood I was bawling.  When Baz told Bug, Lux’s boyfriend, that he would like to practice being a dad with him I cried more.  I teared up a little again when Lux came home.  Then I was crying because I was so happy when Ryan was talking about socks at the end. 

          Seriously, this show pulls at the heartstrings.  I hope so badly that it doesn’t get canceled after the first season because people don’t know how good it is.  If you haven’t watched it, go check out an episode.  You will fall in love with every person on the show.

          Personally, I also love that it takes place in Portland.  Always good to see places I know on shows and movies.  Plus I dated a guy that looks so much like Kerr Smith, it is ridiculous.
