The Lying Game is based on a novel by Pretty Little Liars author Sara Shepard and revolves around a kind-hearted foster kid who learns she has an identical twin sister who was adopted by wealthy parents. When the sisters hatch a plan to uncover the identity of their birth mother, one of them goes missing. And the other must decide whether to come clean or find her sister on her own. Alexandra Chando (As The World Turns) stars as the twins.

Shout-Outs: About a Boy for being far more decent than it should have been, also way to stick 3 seasons David Walton!
Galavant for turning Lassie into a singing prince
Ghost Whisperer for being so cheesy but so watchable for some reason
Happily Divorced for telling Fran Drescher's hilarious real-life story in a pretty decent way
Harry's Law for somehow lasting 2 seasons
Impastor and the Jim Gaffigan Show for helping to start TV Land's original programming
Kyle XY for being from that fun time of weird ABC Family dramas before Freeform turned things vapid and overly-emotional

The Real O'Neals for being really, really gay in a kind of annoying way
Reaper for having an oddly fun premise and character cast
Togetherness for trying to be funny, and dramatic, and poignant, and heart-warming, and cathartic, but not really doing any of them well
Touch for bringing an inventive and surprisingly engaging plot to TV
Up All Night for giving an all-star cast some okay material
