Ann here....
As the courts reporter for The Oakland Press, I spend a lot of time in courtrooms. My days routinely include listening to graphic testimony in homicide trials and breaking news about big verdicts.
When it comes to my TV viewing habits, I leave the crime behind.
I love educational, comedic and generally light-hearted shows. My favorites include “The Colbert Report” (Stephen Colbert cracks me up!) and “Nightline,” which unfortunately air at the same late-night hour, leaving me flipping back and forth. I also enjoy “The Voice,” “Pawn Stars” and anything on the History and National Geographic channels.
While I’m pretty sure I’m a bit older than MTV’s target demographic, I have a vice: “Teen Mom.”
Now in its third season, the show follows the compelling and drama-filled stories of four teen girls who had babies (now toddlers) while still in high school. There’s Farrah Abraham, who recently got breast implants and is struggling to raise her daughter on her own following the death of her daughter’s father in a car accident. Troubled Amber Portwood is in counseling with her on-again, off-again boyfriend and has had at least one run-in with the law. Maci Bookout is trying to work out child custody issues with her son’s father while she nurtures a relationship with a new man.
And then there’s Michigan native Catelynn Lowell, who often comes off as the most mature of the bunch as she deals with a difficult family life and her heart-wrenching decision to give her daughter up for adoption.
According to media reports, “Teen Mom” recently had a record-setting third season premiere and has been one of MTV’s most successful programs. Check back here for all the latest on the show!
