I like to watch this show not only because it's good TV, but because of how they portray the areas here in Southern California, where I was born, raised, and still live. The way they depict the various cities is really over the top and I find it laughable, but necessary. I can tell you that Chino is by no means the ghetto and Newport Beach is not as glamourous as they make it out to be. That's what they have to do for an interesting show, and I'm totally cool with it.
Did you know that the city of Riverside, where Marissa's mom (forgot her name) is from, contemplated suing FOX for slandering the city in the show? I forgot the exact words, but they make fun of the redneck, backwards, and often derogatory perception of Riverside.
