MTV is dipping into the scripted series waters again, and EW has an exclusive look at the trailer for the network’s comedy series, Awkward, which premieres on July 19 at 11 p.m. after Teen Mom. Created by Lauren Iungerich, Awkward is about teenager Jenna Hamilton (One Tree Hill‘s Ashley Rickards) who becomes a school celebrity after people mistakenly think she attempted suicide. “It’s got a really unique and completely contemporary point of view about growing up female in today’s day and age,” says MTV’s Head of Programming David Janollari. “The show really embodies our internal mantra of ‘Our lives amplified.’ In this case, it’s a teenage girl who goes from, as she describes herself, ‘almost invisible’ to completely visible and famous in her school because of this misunderstanding of epic proportions.”

Wow, I’m shocked that MTV might actually have something good to show.
Hah, my reaction exactly!
This show actually look witty and good – which one wouldn’t expect yo find on MTV, the channel with The Hills, Jersey Shore(?) and other crap (sorry, for the ones who like what I’ve defined as “crap”).
Wow, I can’t believe MTV are making a show that actually looks good. Will definitely be watching this, Ashley was great in One Tree Hill.

aenaasbibe on August 30, 2011 I like my body, because I am skinny and can wear clothes that are more tight and stunning. But sizes are always hard to find
They’re right, it does look good. I’m definitely tuning in.
It actually looks surprisingly genuine and sweet for an mtv show
