The O. C. Does it stand for "Ogle Cuties?" (yeah, yeah, I couldn't come up with a better pun)

I started watching the pilot of The O.C., and why didn't anyone tellme about this before? It's totally frakking fun. It's an utter soap, but such an entertaining one. It reminds me of a much more upscale (and better acted, not that it's hard) One Tree Hill, and we all know how atrociously entertaining I find OTH. Basically, it fixes everything that ( Read more... )

one tree hill, the o.c.

Ben McKenzie plays Ryan.

I think there's just something about shows like that that set my teeth on edge. The endless cycle of bed hopping and nothing getting shot at wears on me. Give me fantasy any day, or at least a show like CSI with some smart hotties.

Well, I am only about 10 minutes into this, so I think I'll end up OTHing it (ffing it to watch bits) as it goes on, but at least in short term I am not finding it boring (I am less than an ep in) which is already better than Felicity and Dawson's Creek (I am setting my expecttions low, huh?)

I will admit that the O.C. is a higher quality of sleaze.

Kinda hard to be lower. Where is the icon from, btw? Love it.

Hm... What bothered me about the O.C. was that the concept of Seth Cohen's character was cool, but the way he played out he ended up being a rather fake geek. He does have good taste in music, apparently, but no taste to speak of in women.
So of course, after watching two episodes I gave up on it.

no taste to speak of in women

Who'd he end up with? :P

Summer. She's annoying.

But I thought Marissa was the Grand Witch of Awfulness? :P

Heh, OTH really is the poor man's O.C. ;) I like my shows with a healthy dose of science, so The O.C. really didn't do a thing for me.

dangermousie July 12 2006, 16:43:42 UTC

Heeee. I don't like science in my shows. Not after my forensics prof disected CSI for being inaccurate :P

plazmah July 12 2006, 18:06:32 UTC

LOL! I know CSI is inaccurate :) I can count how many times someone will be in the lab and I'll shout out "That's shoddy reasoning!" or "You're doing that chemical technique wrong!"

C'mon now, I watch Bollywood. I can suspend my dubiousness like that ;P

That icon is to die for! Seriously.

damsels_fly July 12 2006, 19:05:23 UTC

Oh! Enjoy the O.C. for the potato chip show that it is! The 1st season is so fun.
Love Summer. Love Seth. Love Ryan. Love Daddy Seth.
And you'll probably like Marissa a whole lot more if you get spoiled for S.3. Seriously.

dangermousie July 12 2006, 19:50:00 UTC

Heh. I know Marissa bites it. Ahhh the waaaangst.
