Orange County... the tv show

[slackerbot]

ugh. i just saw the teaser for a new show on Fox called, The OC. apparently it's a new drama revolving around the bourgeois of orange county, california. hmm.... i wonder if this show will last longer than the other Fox flop... Pasadena. ;)

[YelloKitty]

CRAZY CRAZY I TELL YA!

Or the tweekers walking their pit-bulls downtown claiming H.B even though they just moved there from Claremont.

[stryfe]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angoraphobia]

and why isnt it on the WB??? haha

this is going to be so bad.....talk about perpetuating the lie!

[5.92]

They can also follow that one guy around with the big shorts and Hurley t-shirt. Oh wait! Thats everyone in OC.

[YelloKitty]

oc intrigues me... the actual county, not the show. you guys are killin' me!

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

Fox is making tv shows based on cities I got arrested in.

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

They should just call this show Bro Dawgs.

[remotecontrolalligator]

i saw the promos too. this show looks very interesting!! i was stoned at the time though.

I got O.C calls for days......



You cant fade me

[remotecontrolalligator]

fuel the fire...

white framed wrap glasses with blue flames on the side
lowered chevy s-10 trucks
pookah shell necklaces

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

Lowered chevy s-10 trucks with some type of graphic on the doors, white-boy chrome accents, and a sticker of calvin pissing on the ford logo.

[5.92]

You got it twisted. Youre actually thinking of Ontario.

[stranger]

Booooo OC, I f'in hated it there!

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

5.92...you representin' the Mills?

[5.92]

lol!
Nah but I'm not scared of Dave aand Busters though:D

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

I dated a flip who lived in Rancho Cucamunga (sp?) for a few months. Whenever I'd go out there the only thing to do was go to Ontario Mills. That place is devoid of any intelligent life.


The theaters are nice though.

[5.92]

How can you date anyone from the 909?:D j/k Shampoo.
She must've been the bomb.

I'm out there every other week for the street races. Yeah, yeah - I know, but there's nothing to do on Wed. nights.

[DJ LunchBox]

909???


damn there's life in that area code?? :D:D:D:D

[slackerbot]

yeah, the title of the show is a bit misleading. OC is a big county. but i think the show is supposed to revolve around the rich people in south OC. so no cheezy white boys in S-10's and Hurley duds. it's more like wealthy cheezy white boys in BMW's, Ferraris, and Hummers.

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

Fashion Island Fucks.

I used to work at the Structure there. I hate that place.

[YelloKitty]

so is OC like the hamptons of southern california? that's what the commercial led me to believe.

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

no no no no no no

no

OC is just a really big county in between riverside and LA. Its a mix of Dirt poor mexicans (Santa Ana), Vietnamese thugs (Westminister), dumb-ass "Bro-Dawgs" (Huntington Beach), and a lot of semi-rich white snobbies.
...and Disneyland is there.

Orange County is really nothing special. South Coast Plaza is a great mall though.

[YelloKitty]

in the oc thread i proposed doing a documentary on yr beautific county. yamchild and i. it will be insane!

[slackerbot]

yes/no/maybe. OC is a big and diverse county, as DoMo_cLeVeR indicated. but the tv show is focusing on the southern part, closer to the coast. Newport Beach and below, along PCH. this is a fairly snooty area. if you're driving anything less than a BMW, then you're pretty much a peasant. :p

slightly off topic: i think Malibu would be a loose So Cal equivalent of the Hamptons.

[slackerbot]

c'mon. you have to watch it at least once in order to make fun of it. :D

yeah, the celebrity factor is one thing. but the real pisser is the fact that Malibu residents are blocking off access to the beach, trying to keep the "commoners" out. it's a public beach! :(

Its like the peninsula but different.
There's actually cool places in O.C:
Costa Mesa
parts of Huntington Beach (Fuck what ya heard)
Fullerton
Santa Ana

[YelloKitty]

e, you crack me up and you don't even know it.

[Liver_on_a_Stick]

Will this show produce stereotypes towards people who live in OC? I would think yes.

[DoMo_cLeVeR]

Newport Beach really isn't that snooty. I was raised there. Most people there are living beyond their means just to fit in.
If cali has an equal to the hamptons I would guess that its where those celebrity ranches are up in wine country.

\m/ brah!!!:p

[DJ LunchBox]

3 days away, everybody ready?

I will glimpse this, seeing as I am suffering from 90210/Melrose Place deprivation, and Smallville doesn't start for another month or so.

[remotecontrolalligator]

i'mma try and catch it.

[slackerbot]

yeah, i'm going to watch. i hope it's at least somewhat entertaining. ;)

[remotecontrolalligator]

if anything, the chicks look pretty hot!

[GONG_LORD]

The OC is here to save me!

I have been insulted with far too many reality shows these past years. I am praying that The OC picks up where 90210 left off!

[woojoemao]

only if it features jack black... like the movie... bah, what a shitty movie... scratch that no amount of celebrity endorsement can save reality tv... no amount.

[hodoree]

like the jackblack movie and 90210, there are no asians in an asian heavy area.

[peko-chan]

I'll watch the first episode if only for Mischa Barton.
She won me over in "Lawn Dogs" and I think she's been long overdue for some crossover exposure. She's been lingering in the fringes of the indie/theater scene for quite awhile and has done some tv roles here and there.

Ugh, but i'm not thinking too highly of this show...it's brought to us partly courtesy of McG. *cough*HACK*cough*

[slackerbot]

this new show takes place in south OC, near the coast. most asians in OC live north/inland.

so far, most critics are saying that this show won't be back in the fall. i wonder if it will last longer than that other piece of crap show, Pasadena. ;)

funny quote from a critic, commenting that he should stick with music videos and not movies or tv shows...

".. McG shouldn't direct anything longer than 4 minutes.."

:D

[DJ LunchBox]

^farreals?

I feel so let down now. i mean, FOX always keeps it real. Look at how much sex you get if you have a Melrose st address....

[FatCoaster]

they should have an episode where the "troubled" star finds his way down to Santa Ana and tries to pull his trickery.

I can see it now. An empty .9mm clip and a dead body on 4th street with 16 holes in the chest.

[DJ LunchBox]

now that's gangsta'

until now, i thought i was the only one that saw that movie.

[ironmonkey]

nothing makes me want to shoot myself in the head more than a show about super rich crackas from the burbs and how they live such dangerous lives.

i like the part in the commercial where the guy is all "this is how we do it in the O.C.!!!" ooooohhhhh...intimidating. man i bet theres nothing that strikes fear into people more than hearing some guy in a polo shirt, khaki pants and whose parents own a yacht say "this is how we do it in the O.C.!!!"

[slackerbot]

hahaha... me and Stryfe were discussing how The OC parallels that other rags to riches tv show...
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. :)

poor kid / bad kid moves to wealthy relative's pad, in order to stay out of trouble.

This is how we do it in Orange County."

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That is pure fucking comedy.
I find it hard to take anyone in RL Polo and Abercombie who kicks sand in someone's face like a pussy seriously.

[Thirty Nine]

Now everybody in OC are gonna get helluv-jumped. Newport's nice though. Even saw someone I knew from school in there.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I laughed my ass off as well when i saw this too!

All in all i was entertained at 1 in the morning watching my taped episode a bit crunk. I like the story, and the setting, and will continue to watch it. I just hope it's done better than Pasadena or Models INC. I really do need a 90210/Melrose Place replacement.

[angoraphobia]

i really dont like that they called it the OC.....because lets be honest.....the OC is made up of a a little more diverse culture....they shouldve just called it Gated Community, Newport. lets be realistic now.....and that girls boyfriend was totally missing the goatee, backwards cap, hurley shirt and wraparound sunglasses on the back of his head.....

also....this....is total sacrilege....the creator was on KROQ claiming that it was going to be as good as Six Feet Under....all i have to say to that is....HA! YEAH RIGHT!!!!

[DJ LunchBox]

oh please!! Like 90210, Melrose Place or any other FOX drama lived up to it's namesake in a reality sense.

[DJ LunchBox]

I meant it sarcastically.

[Sethius]

hope they show more diversity in future episodes. i don't know OC too well. But I do know that a lot of minorities live there.

[slackerbot]

^ i doubt it. the show takes place in the upscale area of OC. not too many minorities around there.

[FatCoaster]

they should have called it emerald bay.

[Wo Man]

No more than the people on this board.

[GONG_LORD]

shit, i missed last weeks first episode. lucky for me that FOX is rebroadcasting the firdst show tonight! i hope I can watch it. I have such high hopes for it. I wonder if it lives up to my high expectations.

On another note about the 'OC', I was walking around a shopping center in 'OC' and i saw a clone army of kids that all looked like Travis from Blink 182 with cut off dickies and sideways trucker hats. WTF?!?! I thought I was gonna be hit up for some video game quarters!

[dimbulb]

ok so i broke down and i'm watching it now...

the dude with the lisp is a total cutie :) i really liked him on gilmore girls *ducks and hides*

yes i watch the GG... :\

[wonki wonki]

woo hoo, gilmore girls!

[peko-chan]

was the second episode a really badly disguised but entertaining nonetheless homage to "Rebel Without A Cause"? That Seth character is so giving me Sal Mineo vibes this episode. The three of them running around the model home was so like the last third of Rebel...

[Thirty Nine]

I missed most of the last episode and caught like ten minutes of it. They're re-running it on Monday, I think. I'm trying to keep up, but it's only the second episode and it's already losing track.

[DJ LunchBox]

hahah, that's so true jingy, huh. Anyways, the second episode let out a floodgate of character info. Seth's character is hella funny, but the Marissa character is a little too much poor little rich girl. In any case, FOX sure is whoring the series out by playing each episodes more than twice.

Another funny tidbit was the story FOX 11 did on the city of Chino, and how the city manager and mayor felt it unfair that the show made the city seem eww, when in fact it's a pretty nice city. heh.

[peko-chan]

i think i'm still watching this because it's like a sick cathartic dream of sorts.

i didn't grow up in the OC but getting adopted by some well meaning folks is like wow...

[DJ LunchBox]

werd, this show is gowing on me at an exponential rate. Hopefully it sticks, and fills the void 90210 and MP left.

It's funny how Luke tries to act all tuff, but still ends up helping Ryan when he needed it. Like last night's end. I am officially hooked and proud to say it. I wish I had taped them in order on my tape cuz now all the episodes are all over.

[martin]

Someone tell me if episodes involve:

Vietnamese gangsters in Little Saigon/Westminster/Garden Grove
The International Street Fair at the Orange Circle
The Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach (or Gay Pride Week there)
A punk show in Costa Mesa

I'd like to see any of that.

[DJ LunchBox]

nope, nope, nope and nope.

what we do have is Vegas night in a mansion.

[peko-chan]

Martin - FYI

second episode contained a conversation between the geek and the popular girl next door around what music they listen to:

she says "Punk - because I'm angry"

and then rattles off "stiff little fingers, the clash, and sex pistols" as her points of reference. too bad she had crap playing in her car.

geek replies with "oh my god, I listen to the same music as you. i'm going to go kill myself now".

i think it's interesting that the geeky kid has all these cool posters in his room ie. The Jam, Weller, Ramones, etc. but why the fuck would he have a fucking "Trapt" poster in there??? Tell me that? Set Designer, you're so fired.

aniki, that Riverside comment last night killed me. :D
"Sandy Cohen implied I was white trash and said I was from Riverside!!!!"

[DJ LunchBox]

LOL!!!!!!!!

oh shit forgot about that. I liked it when her hubby goes"But you ARE from Riverside". Gahh, that lady's a bitch. I was hoping Ryan woulda cried or the Seth's mom would of given him a hug at the end when she decided to keep him. It was cool nonetheless.

[Sethius]

what did the lawyer dad exactly mean when he said, "maybe i'll find another kid to bring home. maybe a black. maybe an asian."??

[DJ LunchBox]

hahahahaha, that's what i was saying. Isn't OC overflowing with aZns?

[Hyde]

i like the geek. he was reading batman #616.

[slackerbot]

this show is like a train wreck... it's so bad, but you can't help watching it. :p

[5.92]

I havent seen the show yet but talking shit about Riverside is very O.C.

[DJ LunchBox]

Another chance to hear Riverside clowned by that uppity bitch tonight.

Yay for a new episode tomorrow.

[wonki wonki]

ok so i was watching tv the other day, and flipped onto something i couldn't really turn away from after a few minutes. didn't know it was OC until a day later. i gotta admit, the show's got hook.

yup, gonna have to watch the next episode.

[DJ LunchBox]

*hi 5*


Werd wonki, that show is the cool. We snagging em up slowly but surely.

[soundslikequiet]

count me in to. i tried to fight it, but apparently i'm too weak.

[ShadeElaine]

it kinda bugs me how that guy looks like russell crowe. but yes, i too am hooked on this show.

[eengn]

it's an emo fest. but still i'm going to watch it tonight. episode 4 or sumthinnnnn.

[Empty Screams]

yeah. shut that emo shit up. blahlajdlkjf.

tks.

[DJ LunchBox]

woah!

Tonight's show was one of the best so far. New characters, fight scene, new emotions, man i am so sucked in this.

That new character is great, and seemingly perfect or Seth but that willeventually change because her compatability with Ryan is also apparant.

[wonki wonki]

what's this thing you guys call 'emo'?

anyway, i think things are happening to quickly. i'm going to lose interest if every episode is jammed with 'omg events'.

[DJ LunchBox]

First off, while surfing around I found out that FOX will put The OC on ice for 6 weeks for baseball in between ep 7 &8, plus it'll be moved to Thursday. :( sux.

Also tonights episode is the halfway point for this year, cuz so farthere are 9 episodes slated till november.


***********Spoiler alert!!!*********

I will now list summaries for the next four episodes and some extra's. Read only if you want to!!!!!!!!

[Empty Screams]

what the shit!@# this sememster i am broke, so i'm only taking one class, which happens to be on thursday nights!

son of a bitch. now i have to buy a vcr.

I do not want Seth to go for Summer! The girl who is boating for the summer is the good one. She likes comics! ;)

[slackerbot]

oh man, last night was brutal. this show definitely likes to dog on the 909. :p

the guy with the gun was from Corona. and apparently, guys from Corona like to wear wallets with chains, carry guns, drink beers, and refer to females as honeys. oh yeah, they also like to hold their gun turned to the side, ghetto style. ;)

[remotecontrolalligator]

I finally got to watch a full episode last night. I'll keep watching. I like the plot, and the girls being as cute as they are definitely doesn't hurt.

[tintin1000]

yeah...and who the hell call it "The OC" anyway? I'm not from socal but I've never heard anyone call it that...maybe "OC" or "Orange County"...correct me if I'm wrong...

[slackerbot]

yeah, now i feel embarassed to even use the word "OC". ha! :p

[DJ LunchBox]

hahahah

last night was funny as shit. I kept trying to remeber when 90210 tried to deal with the same thing.

Speaking of 90210 I tried to associate The OC's characters with the BH ones. Here's what I came up with.

Rya ~ Dylan
Seth ~ David
Luke ~ Steve
Marissa ~ Donna
Summer ~ Kelly

There weren't enough to account for Brenda and Brandon.

[vegAsian]

eh...

[Empty Screams]

yeah.

eh...

[DJ LunchBox]

meh

[DJ LunchBox]

itsawn tonite!!

5 minutes to go.

[Johnney5]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW.

[DJ LunchBox]

ditto.

[Johnney5]

Marissa is such a whore.

[bagel]

I watched this show and felt insulted as a television viewer. *thinks* No, I felt insulted as a human being. *rubs eyes* That isn't quite right either, I was so insulted by the very existance and lack of execution of this show that I felt insulted as a creature of this Earth with even the slightest bit of recognition of it's surrounding and a need of self-preservation.

[Johnney5]

you know what i think it is? in order to really appreciate the show, you have to either be from the oc, or have lived there for awhile to enjoy all the nuances.

or, i might just be blowing smoke out of my ass again.

VIVA LA OC!

[slackerbot]

yeah, i don't see how this show would appeal to people outside of So Cal. i'm sure people on the other side of the coast are thinking, "where the hell is orange county?".

so did anyone go to the party after tonight's episode? ;)

[Hyde]

i think its funny how they show a different dc comic everyweek.

[DJ LunchBox]

If I'd known of the party, you know I would've been there. :D

[peko-chan]

ok, i haven't seen the last two episodes, but i think it's really funny that this show has already jumped the shark. C'mon Ryan's already just kicking it in the pool with seth and his potential 25 year old grandma like it's nothing? yeah, right. luke got shot last week and Marissa lost her virginity in the last 5 minutes of last night's show? okay, sure.

"You're too late" she says. HA.

I have never laughed so hard in my life...well, maybe earlier in the show when Seth Cohen tells his wife they should move back to Berkeley so she can buy that art gallery she always wanted in Sausalito or hey, how about The Mission? double HA.

[Empty Screams]

fucking baseball ruined my OC night

[Thirty Nine]

Fuck, I missed the last two, also! I thought I'd carry it out, but I can't follow the show in its entirety anymore!

[peko-chan]

yo Empty, if Baseball is on KTVU FOX 2, they still show the OC on channel 36 local, cable 6.

Thirty, My bf was all about not getting hooked on the show. When we missed the last two episodes, he turned to me and said baby, it's not too late. we can still get out. we haven't made the commitment yet, like we were in a cult, Columbia Record Club, or some Franklin Mint Collectors shit.

[DJ LunchBox]

^^the dad's name is Sandy Cohen jing ;) :p :)

[Empty Screams]

son of a bitch! i didn't know that.

[Thirty Nine]

The thing is, I don't wanna get out. I wanna follow this shit forever...never did Osbournes, Real World, nothing. Only Simpsons. Don't watch too many films...

[bagel]

Everyone I know in Orange County well personally at least despises this show. I think we ranted for about 40 minutes about how mentally retarded this entire thing was. Just going to like Spectrum and sitting there waiting for someone for an hour listening to people ramble on like total jackasses. Argh! *shakes fist* Infidels!

[slackerbot]

sad part is that this show will:

* increase tourism in Orange County

* drive up real estate prices even more

* cause the 909 to hate on OC for all the trash talking. Chino and Corona so far. who's next? Fontana? Riverside? ;)

[keyinblack]

An overly cliched and unoriginal teen angst that you could probably catch watching any old "90210".
Shall I list the cliches? I'm doing it anyways
- the bad boy but really is a good boy protagonist
- his alcoholic, addict, bad (take your pick) mother
- the sweet love interest girl next door that has the...
- short lived antagonizing jerk boyfriend who sees the protagonist as a threat and beats on..
- the protagonists nerdy best friend who makes witty sidecracks.

Throw in some parties, something being stolen, shaky "real" gritty camera and voila typical crap. By watching the first episode I predicted the entire next three seasons.

Why do people like it so much you say if it's so crappy? Escape. Everyone wants this easy drama filled "perfect" life. The inherent standard American ideology.

And the show is still terrible.

[bagel]

Thank you very much, my inherent disgust at this movie made my ability to describe just why I was so against it quite clear. Thanks again. :)

90210 had a bit more substance. ;)

but i think you got it right... The OC is really unoriginal. if you watch a lot of tv, you can catch scenes / stories / themes that were probably influenced from other tv shows and movies. the OC is one big cliche. and that's why it's popular. the general tv viewing audience doesn't want any complicated stories and characters. they just want to be entertained.

however, i'm not sure if this show will last 3 seasons. since the stories are too predictable, i'm sure people will lose interest. the show will probably be replaced with something more stupid like, "Temptation Island vs Paradise Hotel Death Match" or maybe "Who Wants To Marry My Millionaire Cousin".

They already clowned the mud people from Riverside.


When Seth's dad overheard Marissa's mom talking shit in a diner, and told her you're from Riverside, she took it to mean that she was white trash. ;)

[Thirty Nine]

Yah, I remember that bit! (laughs) Talk about internal-oppression, because homegirl is originally from hell-on-earth, forgetting her roots. People often deny their past...

[DJ LunchBox]

I still can't help enjoying this, even the reruns!

Sad thing is after tomorrow's episode, it was gonna be put on hiatus for 6 weeks till the end of baseball. In an article in today's LA Times, FOX has ordered a full season of the show(Only 9 episodes are made so far), but they haven't decided when or what time slot they are gonna put it in. They were planning on putting on Thursday nights, which is basic suicide for any show, considering it would go up against Must See TV NBC, or the sleeper hit CSI. No word yet on the exact time, but hopefully they keep it on Tuesday's since Smallville's been moved to Wednesday. = \

N E wayz, new episode tomorrow, the gang is in TJ!

[ShadeElaine]

two things about last night's episode:

1. why didn't marissa just share the bed with summer, and seth with ryan? that was the worst pointless & senseless bit of drama. ever.

2. seth said "death cab" as opposed to "death cab for cutie." that means he's cool.

[DJ LunchBox]

And just where the funk did they break down? i know it was still in Cali, but dayum that motel was busted!!, and why was the one in TJ all nice?

[ShadeElaine]

maybe their car broke down in riverside.. :eek: :D

[DJ LunchBox]

puahahahahahahahha!!!!!

[mpyre]

Just got done watching the past 3 shows...(haven't missed an episode).

Definitely my fave new show. After 8 years of living in OC and working in the apparel industry, the show is an awesome guilty pleasure for me.

Seth is my favorite character.

Love their take on the Cali vibe and all the people are easy on the eyes (thank god no Tori).

I knew I was hooked when I spotted the cocaine snorters in the first two episodes.

Love the formula of having a party event in EVERY episode.

I haven't had time to read the other posts, but does anyone else call Ryan a young Russell Crowe? They should put the Luke guy in the next Starship Troopers.

[GONG_LORD]

I love the OC, I have been waiting years for this.

I guess eventually those types of references have to be inserted into popular culture, cos it's there somewhere. A good-third probably knows who they are, so why not?

[mpyre]

That Death Cab reference is actually an indication that the actor playing Seth is basically playing himself.

I read an interview with Brody (the actor) from the recent Elle Teen or YM. He put Death Cab as one of his favorite bands. He's also been a skater since 15 and he's into geeky stuff like comics. He even said that he took his girlfriend to a midnight screening of X2 and she was the only girl there.

Oh, he's from San Diego and he did a lot of odd "actor" jobs before getting the role.

...I was reading those mags from a huge pile of free magazines that I got from ASR...

[DJ LunchBox]

October 29th. 9pm. Don't niss the season dopest show make it's return.

If you don't know, you betta axe somebody!

[Johnney5]

I can't wait for the season of The OC to come out on DVD. Who's waiting in line with me?

[mpyre]

..."We've been on the run...driving in the sun...looking out for number one...

California we come..."

I can't waiiiitttt!!!

[Johnney5]

HOW FUCKING GOOD WAS TONIGHT'S EPISODE?

I nearly cried at the end when Ryan got into Harbor High. So good.

[slackerbot]

hooray for Ryan! ;)

[Johnney5]

and i can't believe i forgot to mention...

RYAN AND MARISSA ARE GOING TO KISS NEXT EPISODe!!!







Oh my goodness. I've turned into a 16 year old girl.

[DJ LunchBox]

Yes! Another dope episode.

I wish Ryan had knocked out Marissa's ex @ the hospital though.

Funny how they refer to Marissa's mom as dragonlady! :D

Man, Seth needs to forget about Summer, even if she looks smokin' in that candy stripper uniform, and go for the blonde girl.



Poppunk, I too am suffering from this teenage girl syndrome.

[Thirty Nine]

Music report:

*something from Paul Westeberg's "Stereo/Mono" was playing in the background in one of the scenes.

*they used a South track for the "next week previews"

please feel free to point out more, interested.

Not trying to be bitter, but white people always get their way! (laughs) They're never denied on these shows, and don't get cold sores, get sick, etc. Only the best--like expensive drug overdoses and treatment centers!...

[slackerbot]

ok, since they've done a drug OD episode and TJ episode all in one, i'm waiting to see more tv cliche episodes...

* teen pregnancy.. Seth is gonna get summer knocked up.

* street racing.. no teen drama is complete without a street racing episode.

* in the wrong side of town.. the kids get lost while driving to a party and somehow end up on the north side of OC, where they narrowly escape an encounter with a group of ethnic people.

* the cheating episode.. now that Ryan is in school, he has to maintain his grades. or else he goes back to juvie. will he cheat on that test? or will stay in the honest path?
.

and many more to come. ;)

[angoraphobia]

"a group of ethnic people" hahahaha

[remotecontrolalligator]

That shit was great. What the fuck is up with Marissa's wack-job mom? FUCK that bitch!

I have just one concern. I hope not every single episode is going to be such a drama-queen-orama. How about some light-hearted fun shows OC?

[angoraphobia]

duh rcla...thats what seth is for....comic relief....and for dorky girls everywhere's viewing pleasure.....*sigh*

[peko-chan]

Karmen, if you need to catch up you should check out

last night's recap:

http://televisionwithoutpity.com/story.cgi?show=112&story=5655

The Rescue
By Joanna | Season 1 | Episode 8 | Aired on 2003.10.29

Welcome back to The O.C. (bitch), where Adam Brody looks adorable wearing an ugly patterned shirt (but only briefly), contemplating his APs, sweetly listening to Summer, lisping Marissa's name, making a quirky face while answering the phone, questioning whether he's radical enough, and awkwardly pointing out his bed. We learn this week that Marissa is still living but hospitalized, having survived her Tijuanan overdose. Ryan, meanwhile, is attempting admittance to The Harbor School (which, when said quickly as these characters tend to do -- particularly one character who we love best -- sounds a good bit like "The Harvard School," and thus comes off even more pretentious, if that's possible). Lady Heather is maneuvering to get Marissa committed, leading Ryan, Seth, and candy striper Summer, wearing Spencer's finest "Naughty Nurse" costume (Happy Halloween!), to bust her out. They run all the way to Jimmy's apartment and then wait for him -- for some unknown reason -- in the dark. Also this week, Sandy starts his first day of selling out, at a firm which we learn is the law equivalent of Costco. There's also a great bit during which Seth attempts to cover for Ryan's absence with Kirsten by claiming he's on a diet. And studying. Naked. And then Ryan gets admitted to the Harbor School even though he missed the aptitude test, and Marissa gets to live with her father even though running away only proved she's even less stable than they thought. Perhaps most importantly, we learn that Seth has a toy horse named Captain Oats. Take that, China. There's only room for one prettiest pony in this town.

I demand at least one Halloween fun episode, perhaps next year. A christmas trip (or parents gone for christmas) gone wacky episode. And a finals is over lets go bonkers episode. Save the drama for everyone else's grandmama.

[peko-chan]

RCA, that what it's all about - ConFlama!!!!

Conflict + Drama = ConFlama, the spice of life

[angoraphobia]

but The OC could be considered more of a ConFlamedy couldnt it?

true, true. perhaps , dear ang, it would be ConFlameBe?
how do i put the accent on??

[remotecontrolalligator]

Or maybe an orgy show! YAY! Everyone on the show gets down in the Cohen home. SAWEET! An Eyes Wide Shut themed show. Production brilliance! I should be a producer!

[remotecontrolalligator]

Hey I wanted Seth. Uh, I mean. I got dibs on Summer!

Remembering that such a trite piece of shit exists almost makes me want to go on a killing spree. You know what, fuck this! I say we make a the RRF GOD DAMMIT! Who's with me?

[Johnney5]

boy someone's got some angst...

[Gum Soul]

Why all the hub bub about this show?

Pretty dumb in my opinion as there is not one asian in the damn show!?!?

Hello we are talking about Orange County here!

Sorry...the show doesn't touch upon the middle class, or heck, even the upper-uppper-upper middle class.

It's realistic in that respect.

[Thirty Nine]

Well, this is not global-a-go-go PC network: FOX. Stop crying your eyes out and take it for what it is, low brow viewing. Bleeding your heart will not (nor will putting in the token Asian) make a damn difference. I say you show them and go do your own show.

[remotecontrolalligator]

OH, booowah.

If there were an asian character on the show people would most likely be complaining about two things. How "white-washed" said character is. Or how too stereotypically ethnic the character is.

I'm with Thirtynine on this one. Make your own show. Perhaps you can call it The part of OC called Westminster. YAY!

[Johnney5]

here here rca and 39...anyone who slams this show should be drawn and quartered.

We should have giant robot viewing parties. and we can all dress up like the oc characters. i'll be ryan...i just have to buy the wifebeater, black button up shirt, and i already have the black leather wristband. i am so set.

[mpyre]

I was slightly disappointed the last episode didn't have a party or "event". I haven't missed an episode and every one of them usually has some happenings like the casino night, tj night, or grandpa's pool party.

Unless you count the surprise meeting with Marissa's mom the "event".

I love watching Seth's changing shirts. He's like the token emo guy.

Oh, and to all the OC critics...it's called a "boob tube" for certain reasons.

[AntiRobot]

hah orange county jeezus now the world can see how retarded the OC is and how lame the problems are of the average oc american which kinda reminds me of some show on mtv where they took some white kid doing bullshit ass shit like effing up mail boxes and slacking off in school and put him in a room with guys his age that did jail time and showed him what a real dumb punk he was *snickers* fox should just concentrate on making family guy, futurama and the simpsons and show re-runs of married with children

Then, why are you STILL discussing it (and probably watching it)...you ain't gotta lie to kick it. Negative comments aren't always the best to get attention.

Whut??? I love the show!!! It's like TV-Mana from heaven. My comments aren't negative...they're stringed words of love. I have no qualms about enjoying a show like the OC...

[slackerbot]

yes, this tv show is ridiculous. but it has all the right components / cliches / formulas to make it watchable and entertaining. i'm starting to like it almost as much as 90210. besides, we're talking about tv here. it's supposed to be mindless entertainment anyways. ;)

[DJ LunchBox]

This show makes all others Game Over.

[Asharak]

They should make a show about the Orange County here in Florida next. There'd be a lot more e-tard ravers than meth-heads, though. There's a Disney theme park there too.

[Johnney5]

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!

RYAN AND MARISSA KISSED!!!!!!

[angoraphobia]

enh...i was more excited about seth and the blonde girl kissing....

[Johnney5]

THAT TOO!




shit. i need to stop acting like a teen girl.

[angoraphobia]

just give in to it.....girls love that shit.....

[DJ LunchBox]

Poppunk is my new homie!!!


Gah!!!! is Seth dense or what!?!?! after making out w/Anna he thinks it's part of the plan!?!? DUDE!

Anna is so much better than Summer. Summer is hot and all, but Anna is like the whole geek [ackage. Hot, smart and into nerdy stuff.

[peko-chan]

goddamit, if i knew they were rebroadcasting this shit tonight, I would have watched Angel instead. They had Luchadores!!!

I kept flipping back and forth and missing all the conflama goodness. I would always make it back to the OC with Summer rolling her eyes or back to Angel where was Spike rolling his eyes. Jeebus. I was pulling my hair out wondering what i missed...

[slackerbot]

program your VCR! :)

[gobofunk]

i agree with peko-chan, thank god for the previous channel button on my remote. I watch angel for the characters and oc out of guilty pleasure, but i wanted to see the kisses and schtuff.

so i'm going to on fox tonight watching oc again and tru calling.

i think oc might be around for awhile. they've managed to feed the target market enough to gt ratings.

too bad for the short-lived seeries skin though.

damn

exactly what i was thinking. :( my roommates were watching the OC with me, and one of them said, "it's like i wrote this show!" i think that's part of the appeal... all the stuff i want to happen IS GONNA HAPPEN.

[angoraphobia]

why do we watch awful predictable tv? hahahaha

[Foehammer]

I thought this was the show about making big ugly choppers.
And big angry bikers guys arguing with each other over deadlines???

[danielwithal]

you know what's weird. we canadian dorks get the new episodes on monday instead of wednesday.

[notcot]

so we had this ridiculous conversation tonight... another bot and i.... and then this thread came up... and the rest unwinds into the conversation....

haha
real life doesn't feel as nice right now
=P
i felt super old, and just too rational about relationships and as if i'd experienced so much... when i was talking to my sister just now
the naive silliness of the OC was kinda nice
hahaa
hmmm.... join us........ http://www.giantrobot.com/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=17949&perpage=15&pagenumber=13
even the parents.... that would be cool..... to be able to fight and work stuff out so nicely

hahaha
hahaha
if i wasn't so embarassed i'd post
hahaha

hahaha

[Johnney5]

HOLY SHIT!

MARISSA!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!!!!

[angoraphobia]

are you.....um......ejaculating?

[Johnney5]

HOLY FUCK, IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!

Did you see the episode for next week?

Angor...you have no idea....

Ok, I gotta go listen to some Black Flag and get my cajones back...

[angoraphobia]

i missed the preview for next week! dagnabit.....

why does marissa sound like shes canadian?

[Johnney5]

what are you talkin' aboot?

anyways, i'll indulge you angoraphobia...

let's see...they have thanksigiving dinner, and guess who comes over? Caleb and Marissa's mom!!!!

Seth is talking to ryan about not having any women, but now he has 2...and they show him making out with both of them!!!!!

Sandy tries to hook up his lawyer partner with Marissa's dad! and julie (marissa's mom) catches them chatting!

and the clincher...ryan's bro calls him from jail...and needs "help."

and that's next week's episode!

[angoraphobia]

oooooo.....do you think theyre gonna write ryan's bro into the show?

i like the idea of marissas dad and sandy's partner hooking up.....it'll make julie kinda jealous in a weird way....

[ocd]

Yes. I am also hooked on this.
*hangs head in shame*

I love how worked up Poppunk gets.
That totally made my day.
You go girl!

Karmen, "Theth" also made me laugh till I farted.

[angoraphobia]

his lisp is so cute.....but when he hits 40....its gonna be kinda sad....

[ocd]

Yeth it ith.

[Thirty Nine]

I just saw the last ten minutes or so. I have a really bad telly, so I gotta find one when they re-run it today.

[DJ LunchBox]

oh man can this show get any better?!?

Smallville at 8 and this at 9 makes my wednesday's stay at home night!

Seth now turning into the pimp playalistic homie, scoring two fine honies?

I just really can't stand that gold digiing bitch of Marissa's mom, And Sandy better not EVEN try to make a move on his partner. His wife's too fine for that!

chaow!!!

[estrella]

Sandy's coworker is so not sexy. I was cringing at her attempt to seduce him with all her crawling and bending.

Marissa's mom is pure evil. I love her and her skanky gold digging ways.

Seth still rules. If all the dorky boys looked like that in high school, maybe I would've enjoyed it more.

What happened to the Abercrombie ex?

[estrella]

I don't know what business he's in, but somehow their family went bankrupt and he started stealing money from random accounts he was in charge of to keep up his family's spending habits.

It was all revealed in that episode with the cotillion where Marissa's blond friend's (the one her Abercrombie ex cheated with in Mexico) dad punched Marissa's dad.

I think all that would make sense if I could keep track of everyones names...

[estrella]

no problem (and thanks!)

Oh yes and because I invest way too much of my time into this show and therefore really need a life, here's some spoilers (from here (http://forums.fanforum.com/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=6&t=001468&p=)) highlight at your own risk:
Episode 10 "The Homecoming"
Ryan enlists Marissa and her vehicle to make a trip to his old neighborhood to settle a outstanding debt his brother Trey had before going to jail.

Arturo, a friend of Trey's, is holding a vehicle which must be worked on to get it running.

Marissa meets Arturo's little sister Theresa, the girl Ryan on and off again dated for years. Marissa and Theresa have a little "getting-to-know-you" conversation which doesn't end so well.

Episode 11 "The Secret"

Ryan and Luke have to do a report together for school and in the process Luke's dad comes out of the closet and Luke comes to spend the night at the Cohens'.

Luke's dad is friends with Sandy and Kirsten so he comes to talk to them for advice and Luke overhears and goes home with his dad.

Episode 12 "The Best Chrismukkah"

Marissa gains a friend in her therapy group, Oliver. Ryan and her get classified more as a couple and Seth has issues with women.

Airs around Christmas season.

Marissa goes on a shop lifting spree and a bottle of beer gets Ryan and Marissa pulled over by a cop.

Episode 13 "The Countdown":

Based around New Year's Eve. Kirsten and Sandy plan a quiet night out.

Hailey, Kirsten's sister, returns from a 2-year backpack tour and claims stake on the pool house, leaving Ryan the sofa.

Hailey uses the Cohen home to throw a rager of a New Year's Eve party leaving the boys freaking out.

Marissa says "I love you" to Ryan, her boyfriend now, and he says "Thank you."

Julie is now traveling through Europe with Caleb.


aaahh. Luke. That's Abercrombie's name. I knew it was something bland and forgettable.

[Johnney5]

yeah marissa's dad was a broker/investor. he took money that he was supposed to invest in other stuff for friends, and put that into shit stocks, and lost a bunch of money.

HAHAHAHA OCD...f you dude..."you go girl?" i laughed when i read that.

i can't help getting so worked up over this show...it's just so FANTABULOUS.

hey jackson, i think there's an encore presentation tonight, so don't miss it.

if anyone ever wants to have a viewing party, come down to Alhambra! we'll have tons of fun!

[Johnney5]

damn estrella, get that filth outta here! it's too much of a temptation for me...must...resist...highlighting..............

[Thirty Nine]

Viewing party in Alhambra? Well, that's at least one reason to come back home...

There's no return to 95/96, don't even try. (laughs)

Yah, thanks Derf for the tip. I'm going to try and watch it at The Yokes' place...

arturos sister: "We dated off and on, I was the girl next door."
marissa:"So was I."
ryan:"I'll explain later."

ooooooooooohahahaha

WHAT THE SECRET?


WHATHTA/AT????

[slackerbot]

did anyone have the close caption on? during the part where Ryan drops off the car and gets jumped, and Marissa honks the horn, and Ryan takes a swing at one of the thugs... the close caption displayed "what the fuck?". or at least i'm pretty sure it displayed that. ;) i'll have to check out the re-run.

[Johnney5]

hahaha that's so rad...i'm going to have to do that too tomorrow...

[Steven P]

damn daMN DAMN...

That was a truly entertaining hour of TV.

[gringo]

That was my favorite episode of the season

[angoraphobia]

karmen....i was thinking about the same thing about poppunk.....

yeah...and the guy who plays ryan....really bad actor....its kinda sad that hes the "lead"

[Johnney5]

haha honestly karmen...the way i act during the show...it's even embarrassing for me.

i'm a 26 year old male, squeeling, jumping around, clapping his hands, giggling endlessly, repeating "Don't do it Ryan!" or "Man, Seth, you a pimp!" Good grief, I need to be shot.

[slackerbot]

yeah, i think we need to have a viewing party... we can like watch the show, order a pizza, give each other a manicure, share beauty tips, and talk about love/relationships. ha! :D

I'm so there



Yes yesterday's episode was the bomb!! Seth has risen and fallen as the underachieving pimp. The best scene is Seth in the kitchen when all the family's arguing, and then here come Anna and Summer.

Summer: "Anna!?"

Anna: "Summer!!??"

Anna & Summer : "SETH!?!?!?!"

Marrissa's mom is perplexed, Gramps is beaming. Too funny. :D

Summer: "I can't believe I kissed you!"

Anna: I can't believe I kissed you!!"

The whole time i was yelling at Seth calling him a dumbass for making Anna leave! Arrrgghhh!!! This is definitely getting taped tonight.

[estrella]

My roommate came home right when Seth started his wacky hijinks and proceeded to talk about her entire day while I smiled politely and tried to watch the show. Dammit. Now I have to catch the rerun tonight.

I did notice the Death Cab poster too, though. yay!

[kingka]

Who would you guys go for?

Cooper?, Summer? or that other girl who is into seth.

i think she was just getting her flirt on. since Seth was oblivious to her previous come-ons, maybe she felt that she needed to be more flirty. (er, i think that's a real word). :p

[soundslikequiet]

d'oh, i've been a bad viewer, i haven't caught the show the last couple of weeks. it's been tivo-ed, so maybe this weekend i'll catch up. i did see most of the Teth hijinks last night, really funny.

also, i was driving down hollywood blvd last monht and i saw this guy out of the corner of my eye standing on the sidewalk, talking with two of his buddies. i could have sworn it was Teth, so like a fucking stalker, i cut in front of the guy to my right, swing back around to catch him again. sure enough, it was him and at that point he and his homies were sitting on the sidewalk just hanging out. AND, i was also listening to death cab at the same moment.

i can't believe how excited i was. me = lame.

ok, isn't it hilarious when the show goes from super bright and in focus when they're at home but when ryan is in chino, it's like overexposed and the colors are flat. like all the chino parts were shot on some lo def video?

[Johnney5]

HAHAHAHAHAH THE GUYS IN CHINO DO SAY "WHAT THE FUCK?"

Thank God for closed captioning.

did anyone have the close caption on? during the part where Ryan drops off the car and gets jumped, and Marissa honks the horn, and Ryan takes a swing at one of the thugs... the close caption displayed "what the fuck?". or at least i'm pretty sure it displayed that. ;) i'll have to check out the re-run.
ha! the closed caption really did say "what the fuck". :)

They were just trying to give it that HD look but got that psuedo gritty urban look.

So this show has now grown on me, but more because of the mom who is hot. Seth's mom BTW.

i know what the secret is!!!!!!






well not really, but my theory is that Seth's mom tells someone that she kissed Jimmy Cooper. That's it, that's the secret.


dun dun DUN!!!!

Cooper?, Summer? or that other girl who is into seth.

Anna. No, Summer. No, Anna, Summer, Anna...

It's a really hard choice. I had a smile a mile wide on my face watching Seth's juggling scene. I am so jealous of the guy.

How fuckin funny was the secret! I was expecting something more serious. Luke's Dad is gay

[Johnney5]

YOU FUCKING BITCH.

[gringo]

and dam your the fuckin idiot that read it

[Gum Soul]

AND YOU KOW THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!


Great episode, pretty much on the ehh side compared to the rest, but very refreshing.

It seems like they're gonna be going the road of 90210 where everybody's buddy buddy, but lets hope not too fast. The best part was the beat down. Seth going back to his pimping wayz, what to do!

Next week's looks great. The whole Marissa as a thief looks forced. That story seems so unbelievable. The real meat is who will my man Seth choose?

[slackerbot]

i'm waiting for the swingers episode. orange county is supposed to the swingers capital of the US. ;)

Summer might be a bitch, but I like her Stuff:
