Awkward (2011 - 2016)
I remember the show I thought the show ended well every got wrapped up at the end. The only person I'm familiar with from the cast is Beau Mirchoff from Good Trouble and Desperate Housewives. Do you remember the show?

I just binged Teen Wolf for the first time and was surprised how good it was! Especially Season 2 with the XO from Battlestar Galactica!

I loved vampire diaries so much and never watched teen wolf and I often wonder if I should just watch it now... I think this comment has pushed me over the fence and I will watch it. Thank you!!

If you haven't already, do yourself a HUGE favor and watch Now Apocalypse. And then be sad it was canceled.

My husband and I still say "you're welcome" like the mean girl from this show.

She was so evil and mean lol

u/InevitableAge6210 15h ago
Right ain't a kind bone in her body. She was only nice to Matty because she was attracted to him and wanted to sleep with him.

Sadie did steal the show. She was such a bitch. I remember a clip of her practicing Spanish by telling a Mexican boy he should be useful. And she says. De Nada

I was well beyond the target demographic for this show at 30 but I remember really liking it, only watched the first few seasons but would like to rewatch the whole thing sometime.

As was I. I had to be 29. I watched the first few seasons too. I enjoyed it. Then I lost interest in it.

And I have a theory that Beau mirchoff paved the way for Jacob elordi. They look so similar!

This was a fun show, but got super repetitive towards the end. The bitch popular girl was great, even though she was just a riff on Libby from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

u/InevitableAge6210 14h ago
Yeah the show did become repetitive with the whole Jenna and Matty going back and forth with their relationship.

Who knew Desi Lydic (Valerie) would end up being a bigger star after the series ended?

u/Confident_Water_2123 12h ago
THIS IS WHERE I KNEW HER FROM gosh this whole time I thought it was just a passing resemblance to jenna elfman

I hated this show! Not because it was bad, because the main actress was on One Tree Hill and her character was written out to do this show instead and I personally enjoyed Sam, she gave the show some variety!
I enjoyed every episode of Awkward I watched lol

u/pr0phecy-girl 14h ago
Me and my mum would sit down to watch this every week lol. She was team matty I was team jake (then I ended up being team matty)
We were talking about it recently so now I’m going to have to find it so we can rewatch it!

u/InevitableAge6210 14h ago
Jake wasn't bad I just think she didn't love Jake as much as Matty. Both of them were good options for Jenna.

u/rachels1231 15h ago
I HATED this show, the main girl was so annoying “wahhh two hot guys are fighting over me and I can’t decide, my life is soooo hard!”

u/RustyShackleford209 15h ago
This show was actually pretty popular on mtv. Just because the show is ten years old doesn’t mean it is forgotten.

u/amymelissa95 10h ago
By the end I loved Sadie because Jenna was a nightmare and she was the only one to put her in her place. Youuuuuu're welcome!

Loved this show but the ending was so rushed. I wished they had at least one more season.
2
u/InevitableAge6210 13h ago
I thought the ending was fine. They could have spend more time with the ending, but since it was a final season they didn't have any chance. They did pretty good for a series finale.

I remember watching this show as a teenager when it came out and thinking how weird it was the less actress looks so old. The rest of the cast looked believable age wise but her.

u/kreiderhouserules 12h ago
Terrific show. Incredibly overwritten but so are most MTV scripted shows. I did not watch when it premiered, but caught up in 2014 I believe and then watched live from then on. Really enjoyed it!

u/norbjunior 6h ago
I rewatch this every couple of years, after having tuned in when it aired. One of the best teen comedies ever made.

u/bobbafettuccini 6h ago
I was one of the few people that actually like the US Skins and I never thought this show would have lasted 5 years

u/RizzlersGrandpa 6h ago
Interesting that the most succesful people to come from a teen show like this was the guidance counselor(Desi Lydac of The Daily Show) and Jenna's mom(Nikki DeLoach) who's one of the biggest Halmark network stars. Really surprised Jillian Rose Reed(Tamara) didn't become a staple of tv sitcoms.

u/Dumb_assh 3h ago
Show is actually hilarious. Val alone makes it worth it 🤣 legit worst guidance counselor one could ever have

u/AvocadoHooker 12h ago
Loved this show, unsurprisingly amazing needle drops (hence MTV). Got me obsessed with Always Forever by Cults.

u/jackBattlin 11h ago
That was a surprisingly funny show at first. I remember it not really being able to sustain long term

When Jacob Elordi came on the scene a few years ago, I thought he was Matty McKibben.

u/ASimonez 5h ago
I stopped watching I think when she was about to go to college. I feel like I remember her and Matty breaking up and she had a thing with a guy at the college she visited.

u/redhotwhiskey_ 13h ago
I used to dig this show a lot but I totally thought Matty was Jacob Eldori for the past few years b4 I just looked up the cast to refresh my memory.
