I absolutely love this show it is one of the best shows on prime time television right now. It is a show that the entire family can relate to. I have been e-mailing the Oprah Winfrey show on a constant basis to give this show some main stream publicity. So far I have not gotten a response from her staff. I will do all that a veiwer can do to keep this show on the air. Just tell me what else I can do. Young ladies should take a look at Charles and see how a young man should treat a lady. Robert and Erica are perfect for the two characters they play and that was the most beautiful thing of all when Charles bought that easel for Cassie after the art program was removed from the school. Not so smart to let Sage go and draw on it though. I can't wait for season three. ABC Family keep up the good work. This is my all time favorite network to watch.
