Admittedly, there is something a little odd watching stories about senior prom in October, but that is what both “Awkward” and “Faking It” on MTV are giving us right now. We feel like part of the reason for this timing-wise is that we don’t think the original expectation was for these shows to be on […]
There are only a few episodes left in the first half of “Awkward” season 5, and as a result of that, only a few more opportunities to see just how some of these characters are starting to plan for their futures beyond high school. For Matty in particular, one of the big questions is whether […]
On next week’s all-new episode of MTV’s “Awkward,” things are finally going to start to become a little bit clearer for Jenna Hamilton. Specifically, she’ll start to realize why Matty has not admitted to her the very thing that Gabby already knows: Where his heart lies. As Jenna’s mom tells her in the “next time […]
Awkward, Awkward season 5 review
There has certainly been an odd phenomenon as of late with MTV comedies spoofing shows that we’re pretty sure that the majority of their younger viewers have never seen. It began with “Faking It” doing an installment that was entirely a tribute of “The Breakfast Club” and on “Awkward” Monday, we saw what was effectively […]
Jenna Hamilton may be flustered, confused, and afraid to say what is really on her mind on “Awkward” more often than not, but we do feel like there’s earnestness in her heart. She wants to do the right thing, even though she struggles often with the “how” part of the equation. This is why she […]
Awkward, Awkward season 5 review
We’ve been critical of “Awkward” so far through its fifth and final season to date, largely because we’ve felt a little bit like the show has been missing some of what made it originally great: Its edge. It has transformed from a satire almost to the very thing that it once was making fun of: […]
Monday night’s episode of “Awkward” is just about on us, and based on what we are seeing at the moment, this is going to be a huge one when it comes to the future of Jenna and Matty as a couple. They’re not romantically intertwined again yet, but could they be in the future? Let’s just […]
There are so many potentially terrible / awkward things that could come out of next week’s new episode of “Awkward,” with one of the biggest ones being simply that Tamara is getting engaged to someone she doesn’t even really know. Why is she continuing to hold onto this engagement? The easiest response to that is […]
Awkward, Awkward season 5 review
Given that Monday night’s new episode of “Awkward” was all what happened when Jenna Hamilton was voted Most Depressing in her high school yearbook, there is a major part of us who really wished that at least the rest of the episode was a little bit more pleasant. Ever since creator Lauren Iungerich left the […]
“Awkward” likes to take a funny look at typical high school situations, and there is something very entertaining right now about the downfall of Matty and Jake’s friendship. These two have a great history of great memories, but we are at the moment seeing them in really their worst position since season 2, when the […]
