'10 Things I Hate About You'
Three stars
7 p.m., ABC Family
I'm not sure why anyone would turn a teen movie into a TV series 10 years after the fact. All its original fans are still bitterly living at home with their parents, unable to get their careers started because of the economy, and disillusioned by the death of the movie's star, Heath Ledger. They will probably not be watching.
But a new audience will enjoy this smart high school series, which makes light of the eternal hell of high school. In a very loose update of "The Taming of the Shrew," Bianca Stratford is a sophomore new at the school, determined to become popular by kissing up to the head cheerleader.
But she can't date until her older sister Kat dates. And considering that Kat wears a beret and worries about universal health care, that's not going to be anytime soon.
