: Season 2 :
USA: The CW, 9/14/2010, 9pm

The most endearing series that premiered this year is back for a much-deserved second season. I hope more people have caught up with the charm that Life Unexpected has to offer; because this show has to stay on the air. Not too many shows have this much heart wrapped in a nice simple package.

Cate is now married to Ryan; and season two kicks off after they return from their honeymoon… where some major changes apparently happened at the radio station. Baze is still dealing with his feelings for Cate after realizing it at the end of last season. Lux and Bug come at a crossroads in their relationship.

Regarding season two plans, creator Liz Tigelaar promises more focus on Cate, Baze and Lux as a family unit… much like the feel of the road trip episode last season. There will also be more focus on Lux’s personal and school life, much of which was sidetracked because of the Baze-Cate-Ryan love triangle. Also, expect a visit from some Tree Hill residents… Haley and Mia will stop by for an appearance at the radio station. The One Tree Hill – Life Unexpected crossover will happen some time in October.

I’m just happy the show, despite getting less-than-stellar ratings last season, will be back. If you haven’t tuned in, start catching up now.

For those of you who are still confused, here’s the breakdown of the One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl and Life UneXpected schedules next year… courtesy of thetvaddict.com

It all begins…
January 18 (Monday)
8pm ONE TREE HILL
9pm LIFE UNEXPECTED *series premiere

Schedule shift starts on…
March 8 (Monday)
8pm LIFE UNEXPECTED
9pm GOSSIP GIRL

After Life UneXpected airs 13 episodes…
8pm ONE TREE HILL
9pm GOSSIP GIRL

I don’t know if this will work; but I really hope Life UneXpected performs well. It looks like a show I could really love.

I haven’t heard about this show, which is quite embarrasing (since I’m supposed to know about these kinds of things); but there has been some critical buzz for Life UneXpected. I’m only noticing it now; because The CW plans on airing this in place of Gossip Girl from January to early March. Here’s a preview for the pilot; and I think it’s a worth a look once it premieres.
