Jack and Bobby, The WB

Since television teen sex almost inevitably leads to pregnancy, it’s about time that a female character goes to a doctor about getting the morning-after pill. Maybe Courtney has seen the shows, too. The writers definitely have, and even the show parents think it’s a good, responsible thing to do.

And it is in keeping with the nature of the show. I guess it’s only right that the network of “Seventh Heaven” brings us this show about a devoutly anti-religious single mother, her offspring and their world. Kudos to them for making her a pot-smoker and rabid left-winger as well as painfully moral. And her kids are moral and responsible and without realizing it have adopted their mom’s biases and morality to their detriment. No good deed goes unpunished.
