Sorry Summer crush fans, ABC Family has cuts it's 6th annual summer crush programming event from a whopping 10 days to a lackluster 3-day weekend. That being said this is still the place to get the entire lineup from start to finish.

All that being said, The Summer Crush programming event is still good for sitting back and relaxing with some of your favorite movies. So make this your reference for all your 2014 Summer Crush needs.

CHASING LIFE REVIEW S1E5: The Family That Lies Together "Either you tell them or I will" Its date night and Boyfriend Dominic, and April decide to go see a psychic, and after an intuitive reading where the psychic hints that the key to Aprils health may lie with her "sisters" April is all shook up. The next morning April faints at the breakfast table and flashes back to a time when her dad was alive. Playing it off as nothing, April goes out to meet Beth, and then heads to work. After talking to Beth about what the psychic said, April begins to look for her mystery sister, Natalie Ortiz. She ends up getting information about Natalie through the car she rented. After getting Natalie's vitals, she digs through all of her dad's stuff where she finds a picture of her dad, Natalie, and her uncle George.

CHASING LIFE REVIEW S1E4: I'll Sleep When I'm Dead "Are we really comparing diagnosis?" Hold on this is a long one. Episode 4 ends where episode 3 left off. April doesn't talk during the support group but Leo does. Turns out Leo has an aggressive tumor on his brain stem. By not talk April earns Leo's wrath, who thinks that April is there to get the scoop on him. But all’s is not well with April, she's run down, and late on the day she's supposed to have her biopsy.  After turning down Beth's offer to go with her for moral support, she's late and ends up missing her appointment. In a very unlike April kind of way, she tracks down Uncle George, at the pediatric hospital who had assumed she was just blowing him off again. But after hearing she overslept her alarm, Uncle George is more about why she missed her appointment, than the fact she missed it in the first place.

CHASING LIFE REVIEW S1E3: Blood Cancer Sex Carrots "I can't be the one....... I'm sick" First let me say I’m sorry. When a show gets irritating I stop watching. So, if you haven't guessed already I had stopped watching Chasing Life after 2 episodes had past and not one family member was told April had Cancer. Frustrated I took a week break, then one week became two, but it's ok because after watching the promo for Chasing Life episode 5, I binged watch episodes 3 & 4 in order to catch up. So now that apologies have been made let's jump right to it.

  Chasing Life Review S1E2 - Help Wanted "It's never a good time to get that kind of news" As we figured, being alone and having no one to talk to about having cancer can't last for long. April tells her bestie, Beth, that she's sick, and she reacts more like we thought April would with looks of disbelief and crying. Sometimes it's as hard to watch someone go through something, as it is to go through it yourself. As April tries to run around town, acting like she's not sick and nothing is wrong, one can't help but notice that she's moving a little slower and is a lot out of breath. While April seems hellbent on doing absolutely nothing as it relates to her leukemia, Beth is doing the opposite and learning everything she can about the disease. Between dating, getting an evil new supervisor, tracking down the mysterious girl at her fathers grave and covering for her sister, April is finding time for everything except her health.

Its official Pretty Little Liars will be the longest lasting original show to ever air on ABC Family. The season 5 premiere of PLL is set to air tonight at 8pm, and will pick up right where the season 4 finale ended. This is abcfamily’s first ever multi-season pickup . The soapy mystery has been renewed for a sixth season , to air in mid-2015, and for a seventh season , to air in mid-2016.  Pretty Little Liars, is ABC Family’s No. 1 series ever in total viewers (3.8 million) and all target demos: adults 18-34 (1.5 million/2.2 rating), women 18-34 (1.3 million/3.7 rating), adults 18-49 (2.0 million/1.6 rating), women 18-49 (1.7 million/2.7 rating), people 12-34 (2.6 million/2.8 rating) and females 12-34 (2.3 million/4.9 rating). 

Chasing Life REVIEW S1E1 - PILOT “Let me save your life then you can go back to hating me” She’s quick witted, snarky, awkward, savvy and only 24 years old. In an attempt to land the biggest story of her life, April Carver finds out that she has CANCER. Which sucks because her life is just beginning; an amazing best friend, a job that she loves, her crush returning her feelings and a family just starting to get over fathers passing, the timing of this couldn't be worse. I expected for this show to be a cry fest full of love ones mourning, hospitals full of dying patients and a family coming to terms with one of its daughters having cancer and watching how that would affect everyone else’s life. But that’s not what this is; in fact it’s the exact opposite. This isn't Cancer Girl, where the show revolves around her and her illness 24/7; instead this is about 24 year old who happens to have cancer trying desperately for that fact not to overwhelm the rest of her life. Canc...

ABC Family 2014 Upfront I am more than a little addicted to ABC Family’s comedies and dramas. This year ABC Family has decided to ease up on the comedies and to try and add some new dramas to their schedule. After launching three new dramas this year and all but one of them having disastrous rating, ABC Family has decide to up their game and has ordered 4 new drama pilots. Their pilots include everything from substance abuse to the supernatural. These pilots if picked up would most likely be developed for next summer, since their 2014 summer line-up has already been set. ABC Family also took this time to make formal cancellation and renewal announcements.  Pilots in Development:

  ABC Family 2014 Summer Schedule 3 New shows and 3 night of original programming are coming to ABC Family this summer. The recently picked up comedy series; Young & Hungry, Mystery Girls and the new network drama Chasing Life have all found spots on ABC Family’s summer line-up. To accompany these new series fan favorites; Pretty Little Liars, Switched at Birth and The Fosters will all return in June with new episodes. Pretty Little Liars returns for its fifth season in which the PLLs must dodge their dreaded nemesis, “A,” while navigating a world with Alison back in it. The series will hit milestone 100th episodes during its fifth season. Switched At Birth returns as the characters deal with the consequences of decisions made in the mid-season finale. And The Fosters returns for its second season where it will continue to explore the growing Fosters clan. ABC FAMILY 2014 SUMMER SCHEDULE

This spinoff just didn't have any juice. Sorry Ravenswood fans but the show has officially been cancelled . Unfortunately, the freshman supernatural drama aired just 10 episodes, and was launched behind the annual "Liars" Halloween special in October. The show never seemed to gain a ratings foothold, and continued to fall in the ratings when it was not placed behind Pretty Little Liars. Ravenswood earned an average of just under 1.3 million viewers each week.

5 Things We Need To See in Switched At Birth Season 3 5. I need Bay and Daphne to be worried more about their lives and less about their romantic relationships  In the past two seasons I think that both girls have gone through at least 5 boyfriends apiece. How do either of these girl have time to go to school, study, and do extracurriculars ? Why does it seem like their lives and personalities  revolve around which ever boyfriend they are seeing at the moment? I need that to stop. Both of them were much more interesting when they were more concerned with how they should deal with each other, instead of worrying about their V cards.

#EzraisEverywhere Here are the 12 things we learned from watching the  Pretty Little Liars Marathon that could be applied  to everyday life. Agree?  12. The best way to tell a lie is to keep saying it until you believe the lie to be the truth: Watching Mona grill Hannah in the finer points of lying, made me wanna take notes in case I every found myself needing to lie about something. In the end I almost believed that Hannah had killed Wilden

 This is a big year for ABC Family comedy pilots especially since no new comedy shows were picked up by the network last year. The network has given series orders to two of its three comedy pilots: Mystery Girls, and Young & Hungry, starring Emily Osment. Production on both comedies will begin early this year for a premiere later in 2014. “Mystery Girls and Young & Hungry join ABC Family’s established comedy series Melissa & Joey and Baby Daddy. Former 90210 starlets, Tori Spelling & Jennie Garth are set to reunite in the first pickup decision of 2014 for ABC Family. "Mystery Girls, ” starring two former detective TV show starlets brought back together by a real-life mystery. Charlie Contour (Garth) is a suburban housewife and mother, while Holly Hamilton (Spelling) longs for her glory days in the 90’s when she was on television.

    Like I've said before, 2014 is going to be an amazing year for ABC Family . They are kicking the year off with by airing new episodes of their hit original series, on three nights this winter. (This usually happens in the summer, not the spring) And now the network has given Chasing Life an upcoming series on the network, that hasn't even received a premiere date yet, a back order of seven episodes. Put together Chasing Life will have a 20 episode 1st season (the networks standard). Whether all the episodes will air together or in two separate blocks has yet to be determined. Chasing Life was ordered to series at the same time as last summers ABC Family's breakout hits; Twisted and The Fosters.
