no OC tonight

When "The OC" first came on, I was adamantly opposed to watching it. It was, after all, a fictional depiciton of the fictional lives of fictional people who reside in a fictional OC--the show is filmed mostly in Malibu, which is in LA County. But then I kept on hearing about how great the show was and how it was the 90210 of the next generation. And I liked 90210, even after Brandon left the show and Luke made a comeback. So, I decided to give "The OC" a shot and watch. Dude, was it great! So much drama. So much teen angst. It was awesome. My friends and I would get together and have OC watching parties. I even got my boyfriend into it (well, kinda...he still doesn't get some of the character's names right).

But that was season 1. Now it's season 3 and the show has lost its luster. I'm sorry, Josh Schwartz (OC creator, exec. producer and fellow USC alum)!!! This OC girl just isn't that excited about "The OC" anymore. So much drama happens in just one episode that it is stretching the limits of "believability." And frankly, Marisa is annoying.

I remember during season 2 when the show was not shown on the East Coast because of a last minute Bush address (just another reason why I don't like him). I was incredibly upset. I needed a support group to get me through the mental anguish (support group= Enzo and Dave feeling my pain). And tonight, "The OC" will not be shown. Eh...I'll just catch the finale next week.
