8 pm/ET ABC Family
This new teen comedy is based on the 1999 film of the same name (which was already an adapted work, loosely based on Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew).

Read on for previews of Great American Road Trip, Warehouse 13, Saving Grace, That's Impossible and the Michael Jackson Memorial. read more
