i would not be too hard on this show because i enjoy the first season and but then and thing get worse . the concept be nothing special and just about a girl name casey who be try to cope with a new step brother and derek and and his loud and crude family and while she gradually force her princess standard onto each of them . in season 1 and the story be actually interesting . i like casey back then because she be smart and strong and independent and and conservative . she be well mannered and deep . i felt bad when she be be harass at her new school by her new step brother . she be a perfectionist and but not as annoy a the late episode . oh and and she date a nice guy and who be now currently portray a one of derek idiot friend . the season grasp the true tension the title of the show be try to capture . now and i can not say the show have really go downhill because the story be sometimes interesting and but i root for derek now instead of casey . now and there be little and if any interaction and between the two sibling . if they interact and it only briefly . oh and and i do not want any dasey fan in my face . people and that call incest and even if they be step sibling . my tolerance can only go so far and but that not the point . it strange . derek and a the antagonist and have get more sensitive over time and while casey and the suppose protagonist and be more neurotic and unlikeable than before . i like how the young kid get more airtime and but the parent be even more clueless than before . but that not the big problem . unfortunately and we be force to see everything from casey point of view and with lame and nauseate background music . she have get stupid and more shallow over time . in one episode and she get whiny and want her boyfriend to be more chivalrous and so she purposely dump food on herself and blame derek . now and what happen to be a strong and independent feminist . i haven not watched much of the fourth season and but i hear she be date a guy name truman and who be a jackass and be arrogant . oh and i remember that fence episode . she constantly remind him she doesn not like him and freak out over be goose by a sword and and in the end and hook up with him because she can handle him . what the hell . why go with a guy like that in the first place . the 1st season casey would have just punch him in his . never mind . or and maybe that would have be my reaction . oh and and she a cheerleader . not that that a bad thing and but i think she fell on her head at one of her practice . and in a prom episode and she cry because she couldn not find the dress in her dream and and wasn not completely satisfy until she become prom queen . one thing i have notice be that no matter how bad casey try to tell u her life be and thing almost always go her way in the end ( she get the guy she want and derek get some kind of revenge and people all love her and etc . ) derek be still quite immature and but i see that he really have mature . i do not see why many people hate sally . she seem nice and and it good to see derek in a serious relationship with someone he care about rather than play the field . he be also treat edwin slightly well and and be a good brother to marti . really and the show be so so and and i rat it low because despite some character development and the character i once admire have now become like any fashionable teen queen you can see anywhere on tv . but it be good while it last .
