    Jenna's buoyancy in a life of constant land mines keeps Awkward fun and refreshing.

    The spirit of John Hughes lives on in this rowdy ensemble of insecure spazzes and delightfully fresh mean girls (yes, we're talking about you, Sadie).

    Awkward's writing is sharp enough to keep even those viewers who refuse to go to their reunions laughing.

    Awkward has grown and matured, but I don't think I love the direction that MTV and, presumably, Iungerich have chosen to push the show.
