Finally a television show that clearly answers the questions. Why is reality television so popular?
The O.C. is "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" meets "Beverly Hills 90210", without the good writing. As a matter of fact, The O.C. makes 90210 sound Shakesperean in comparison.
The teenagers of the show look old enough to be ending their careers. it's sad to see has been 30 year old actresses pretending to be in their teens. Can anyone say BOTOX? And the lead guy reminds us that Russell Crowe, may be hot, but Russell Crowe is also a talented actor. The lead of the show has got the looks of Russell Crowe, but he's not gonna be winning any oscars any time soon. None of the characters are as nuanced as the Teenagers in the WB.
Television shows like Buffy, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Everwood,and early Dawson's Creek changed television teens forever. Giving us a full sense of what it is to be a teenager, with real growing pains, and fascinating multi-layered dilemmas. The O.C. is so awfully written, it's actors are so wooden, and false, that it's not even sexy, it's just one big YAWN.
For great television, I still turn to HBO and the WB. it's nice to know that Fox plans to stop producing good television, in it's hopes to be the next U.P.N.
