'10 Things' on ABC Family is a Tuesday TV pick

'10 Things I Hate About You'

This sitcom adaptation of the film of the same name, which was in turn an adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," is pretty cute. But in a good way. Lindsey Shaw is great tough new gal Kat dealing with the horrors of Padua High School and her wannabe popular sister, Bianca. And I love Larry Miller as the girls' supportive/clueless dad. 8 tonight, ABC Family (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
