The OC !!
 

Does anyone else watch this show on FOX?

Im sorry, but for some reason i am addicted to watching it, not cuz its that good of a show, or the amazingly beautiful people on it, i dont know im just addicted.

The 3 main girls are absolutely drop dead gorgeous and i get very jealous of the lifestyle that these teenagers live, prolly just cuz imm a drama queen and addicted to drama.

o well, gimme ur opinions of the show

thanks

i really hate this show
the o.c is nothing like that
im actualy writeing a book/movie on the real o.c

I enjoy the show very much, mostly because of the ridiculous story line and beautiful women. What more do you need in a show?

I Love Mischa Barton!!!!!!

Amen.

There is another thread on here about the OC just so you know. I too watch it religiously partly because I live there and mostly because its addictive cheese factor :D

all the chicks on that show are hot

I watched the first few episodes, but I think it comes on when something else I watch is on...and y'know, NONE of the cast look like they're actually in high school...I found that kind of amusing.

Originally I thought this show was going to be about how to overclock your puter components..... I was mistaken !!

Everytime I watch the O.C. I say I hate it and it sucks yet, every Wed. I'm there watching it! I think it has subliminal brainwashing in it.:crazy:

The only reason to watch that show is the hot chicks.

Tomorrow's episode is really good. The show is getting back on track now that Oliver is gone. I'm so addicted that I can't wait until Wednesdays to watch it. I download it on Monday nights since the show airs Mondays in Canada.

:lol: I do the same thing... how pitiful we are :p

At least I know I'm not alone.

I thought i was the only one.. Is it wrong im looking at highschool girls...Well most of them are probably in there 20s.

adam brody/seth cohen how do i love you? let me count the ways:

1. you not only brazenly display a toy horse figurine in your room but you refer to him by name (shout out to Captain Oats, Yo homeboy!)

2. Chrismukkah: I have never wished harder to be half jewish

3. you invtented the wonderful term Bar-B-Q-tionist

really i could go on an on. CALL ME ADAM!

hah .. i need to stop watching tv

Keep that up, and I'll call you a therapist. Seriously, bri... you need help on this one. With the exception of "barbecutionist" (alternate spelling?), Seth is nothing but a skinny, curlyhaired, postpubescent highschool-wanna-be with an engorged vocabulary. Besides, he mumbles too much :)

(oh, you know you love it when I give you the gears)

engorged vocabularies make me wet.

Wow Bianca, that introduction of enlightenment about the pursuance engorged vocabularies has on you exhilarating!!

engorged vocabularies only go so far -- you still have to get the girl's name right.

OK, now let's really get to the heart of the matter.

How long will it take for Julie Cooper to have slept with EVERY character on the show?

ok so far we can assume jimmy, calab and luke (luke is a safe assumption, right?).

I think ryan is in the bag -- basically he's just following in luke's footsteps anyway so as soon as sandy comes out of the closet we can count on ryan making a little trip across the street.

kirsten is OBVIOUSLY warming up to julie -- i think after sandy and jimmy get with the lovin she may need some comforting as well.

clearly seth will not be sleeping with her since he's mine and i won't share.

Why does Sandy need to come out of the closet so that Ryan and Mrs. Coop can get it on? Seriously... and I really have a hard time imagining those bushy eyebrows on a gay man. Besides, Luke's dad's gay already..you can't have two on the show. That would just be wrong ;)

I'm gonna bet that whoever the old Coop gets with next will be part of a threesome. Maybe one of those women from the Spa.

And bri, you can have seth... apparently he's dangerous in the sack. Bring bandages.

suuuuure next week on "teenage boy wet dream version of the OC."

you cant' be too dangerous if you're tied up.

:o
Brianna, I am humbled, humiliated and mortified by my horrendous faux pas. Please, accept my heart-felt apology.

I finally figured out tonight why I really like this show [beyond killing an hour watching hot girls]. While the main story lines are rather pedestrian, the actual dialog is some of the wittiest, crispest and most real written for TV.

am i the only one who really hates the shows theme song?

It's worse now that they've made the song longer (or, perhaps, used more of the song).... I didn't mind it before, but it's a little whiny I must admit.

I think the appeal is two fold

first you have the draw for the teenage crowd: hot people in cute clothing having big drama in their life (basically just a soap opera for the 13-17 year old crowd).

secondly you have the appeal for everyone else: sarcasm.

The writers on the OC have done a great job of making the show appealing through mocking itself. the minute the show starts taking itself too serious it's ratings go down (see the whole oliver plot line for proof of this).

Ya i love the show too. Oh to say something about an ealier post, Mischa Barton just turned 18. She was only 17 when the show aired, so they are not all over 20.

yeah too bad she looks about 45.

embarassingly one of the best shows on today. i have to have my OC fix every wednesday or I suffer from withdrawal symptoms lmao. It's sad. I get pissed whenever they pull those three week hiatus things; it's just pointless!

I have to admit though that I liked the show better when Ryan fought in every episode and had to fight for marissa's attention and try to win her over b/c that's what made the show interesting; not to mention he's kinda a pansy these days. And wtf happened to Luke? He's a major fruitcake now. Ever since his dad was found out to be gay, he's become a huge nerd. They need to re-work luke and ryan into their old characters. And Seth is confused. It's all about ANNA! She's the right one! Summer is FOINE as hell but she ain't nothing but a booty call; Anna is more girlfriend material. Next week's episode looks good when she is about to leave for Pittsburg and he tries to stop her. He needs to make up his mind! AHHHHHHHHHHHh.

...but she's built like she's 11. (okay, okay...i shouldn't be a hater; she just doesn't do it for me)

Thank god the OC brought me back from my long draught of teen-television after the literal and figurative demise of Dawson's Creek and 90210. My wife may never let me off the hook for DC and the OC.

The OC is much like a combination of 90210 and Three's Company.. beautiful people are involved, and there's always some sort of misunderstanding.

While I agree with the Anna comments (she's still too good for Seth, brianna... I'm sorry), I rather like Luke now. Yeah, he's slightly pussified, but at least he's a believable character now. Still, there have been very few utterances of "welcome to the OC, bitch" lately. Maybe Summer should have used that one on Anna. :D

I don't like summer better than anna -- in real life i would tottally rather be friends with anna, and if i were a lesbian i'd be all about the anna hotness (though really costumes pushes the "the 80s are BACK!!!" with her way too much). unfortunatly, anna's character is boring right now -- the whole time that her and seth were dating was a huge yawnfest. so i'm pro-summer for the good of the show.

yea the show is definitely turning into some sort of porn movie without nudity

i'm addicted to this show too. and i think Marisha's mom, Julie Cooper, and Seth's mom (forgot her name) can be quite hot sometimes.. can you say MILF? wahaha =D

oh and imo, Anna is hotter than Summer..

maybe we can get cinamax or somethign to pick up "The OC -- After Dark"...

I'd be all for that!

Hahaha...sign me up for the R-rated version of the OC. Actually, an R-rating doesn't get you very far these days, does it? So, let's go for full-on soft porn version.

I do fear that some of these girls look better with their clothes on (what clothes they wear, that is). Anna, of course, would do well with a wardrobe change, no matter what it was.

Plus, they could work that "spa-gossip-session" theme back in with some regularity. Whee....

can we leave marissa out of the porn? seriously if she runs around naked she might poke someone's eye out with a protruding bone. I guess she can be on the show if she eats a sandwhich or something.

Oooh, good point. That might not be a pretty sight at all. That's what I mean by "looking better with their clothes on". She may or may not look better this way.

Hmmm, she looks great to me. You seem to have a lot of hate for this girl :p.

Actually, it's just fun to hate her; it's really nothing personal. I think her character's just a little too whiny. I saw her in some hideous movie last year, and the acting wasn't bad. I think it's mostly the character.

yes yes yes -- she's whiny. and she's too thin.

I agree...she ranks at the bottom of my list from the show of women that need to be seen in porn!!!

Common, that is something Oprah or Ricki Lake would say :p Put down the donuts and stop casting stones at people who bust their ass to have such a low bodyfat %. If she is too thin, I would hate to see what you consider fat :lol:. It's no wonder more than 60% of Americans are overweight, they all share the same attitude you have :).

Pray tell how you think this is too skinny?

umm excuse me but i think i'm allowed to have an opinion without being personally attacked -- I think she looks too thin -- so do two of the men in this discussion. I don't think I need to qualify that, especially when you've chosen to react to my opinion is such an immature manner.

okay, new line of questioning:

will Ryan and Marissa turn into the new "Ross & Rachel", or will they actually find some other people to successfully date? Does Ryan's utility on the show completely run out in the absence of some dramatic, yet uncommunicative relationship with The L'il Coop?

Discuss.

This actually worries me -- it seems like their relationship has already gotten stale and we're not even done with the first season. If the writers are intent on a Ryan/Marissa relationship then they need to give us something a little more interesting to watch -- cause what we're looking at now is just recycled stereotypical teenage relationship crap. Even OliverGate (term stolen from television without pity) was basically a rewrite of the Luke/Ryan dynamic form the first few episodes.

Well, I'm a sucker for the underdog; the once-bad-boy trying to be the good boy. And, I do appreciate Seth's sarcasm. I think the show has a good time slot. Middle of the week(9p EST)...you are done doing everything you need to do, not quite ready for bed...why not watch the OC? At least that's my theroy. The only other TV show I have watched reguarly is the Simspons.

I agree, Anomaly77.... I'm hoping this Ryan thing turns into something good, but the writers insist on bringing up little tidbits of Ryan's past every time you think an episode might go by without some contrived "emergency"... i.e. Trey (?), the brother... the ex girlfriend (soon to be recurring?), the old buddy from the 'hood (name escapes me), etc etc... what's next? He once dated someone with an STD? Come on, people.

I fear they've shown him as too strong a character, too able to actually adjust and fit in to the OC community -- so they have to throw endless hitches from the past at him. Perhaps this is the premise of the show, but I enjoy the little twists and turns in subplot/peripheral characters (yes, including Seth's sex life and the possible re-appearance of the WonderWoman costume).

thoughts on this evenings episode:

1. i see we're rocking the journey... ok, fine -- but i'm on to your little plot to make me feel like anna is molly ringwald all over again.

2. and luke beds caitlin in 5...4....

3. good to know that the maids at the mermaid inn are out their cleaning rooms at 3am -- they must get awfully tired -- maybe teresa should have asked for a job.

4. eric balafour i love you -- not in the fresh youthful spring scented way that i love seth but in more of a hardcore fuck me like grease lightening and get transmission fluid in my hair way -- but it's still love, i assure you.

5. luke does the sensitve guitar guy thing? um no.

Yeah, I thought that was funny as hell.

I'm wondering how long this show will last though. I love it, but in the span of just a few episodes it's had (not in order):

Gay father coming out and destroying the family
Bad boy stealing car and getting second chance
Arson
Suicide attempt
several love triangles
devirginization
psychotic boyfriends/fiances
Business scandals
affairs (or at least strong leanings towards affairs)
school suspensions
a main character leaving

I'm sure I've left out some because the list was longer when me and my girlfriend were talking about it this morning. They hit on so many storylines in such a short period (part of which makes it great) that I fear they are going to burn out.

Finally caught the last episode (most recent, that is, not "finale"), and I have to agree with bri and onetime2... they're really starting to blur the boundaries between 90210 and "ABC After School Special" (which is possibly the same discussion that Luke will use next time he chats up Caitlin).

It'll be interesting to see how (and if) Jimmy pursues this torrid affair between his soon-to-be-ex and his daughter's ex. I like how he noted how wrong the prospect of that relationship would be because it would kill Marissa, and not for any other reason.

I think Julie Cooper may have accidentally discovered a new way to make a buck in the OC.

One final thought... they brought the "spa girls" back in for brief moment at Caleb's party. Maybe my threesome/deviant sex theme will actually come to fruition? :lol:

seems to me that they rush through story lines as if they were trying to squeeze everything in before they are cancelled...which isn't the case. I know things get boring quick in today's Internet-speed world, but sometimes you have to take your time and build slowly to the big pay off...

*bump*

reviving the thread....

What is up with Luke being in love with Mrs. Coop? And why does he need to blurt out that he's "not sleeping with Julie Cooper" anymore? Sheesh :)

He had to blurt it out or else it would stay a secret and what fun is that...lo.

Well, according to the radio this morning, we might not have to bother with the Luke storylines for much longer. They said something to the effect of Fox not being able to offer any guarantees on air time for the character and the actor who plays him may not renew the contract.

I think it would be a shame for him to go. Even though he's not a main part of most storylines I think he adds to the cast and is a perfect contrast to Seth and Ryan.

I concur...plus, you're cutting your fight-potential quotient in half if you let one of your two brawlers go!

Oh come on, Seth could take up the baton and become a brawler. That could be the whole steroids plot line which I'm sure they'll eventually get to. :D

ok the insane fighting is getting really ridiculous -- ryan decided to start a fight with 5 huge bouncers in a club in LA all by himself in an effort to defend the honor of a 30 year old heroin addict? no one is that stupid.

I still haven't figured out why she needed to be "rescued".

Of course, I also don't understand why everyone feels the need to lie to Caleb about his deviant (albeit attractive) daughter. Must be one of those TV things where it's blatently obvious to everyone-but-one-person what's really going on.

I'm with you on that one. I love the OC and everything, but I really thought the last episode sucked.

Dear god... a "beefy" Seth? What will brianna do?
Can you IMAGINE his version of "roid-rage"? Oh, the humanity.

i cannot even picture a beefy seth -- it's that much of an abomination.

and tonight the OC treats us to another episode of "ryan can't let anyone sort out their own life." someone please explain to me why going to rescue marissa is his job. How is he more equipt to deal with this than her father (and does her dad even know she's gone -- why does he spend this entire episode eating cupcakes and swooning over hailey?)? does it bother anyone else that apparently ryan thinks it's A-ok to ditch his adopted family to run off and solve other people's problems? shouldn't his commitment be to the cohen's over little miss needs-to-be-on-a-higher-dose-of-anti-depressives?

in other news:

summer doing the jewish thing for seth? so cute -- i love her now.

I can't understand how this "bad boy" has to be a hero and save those that don't need saving while getting his ass-kicked everytime he tries--and doing nothing about it!!

In the real world, if one of my friends when I was in H.S. was banging a MILF...he'd be a hero and none of htis drama would b happening!

Well, I did think that this episode was better than last week. I agree with you guys, though. At least Ryan going after Marissa was more believable than the desperate need to "save" Hailey. Why he refused to let anyone else help him is beyond me, though.

Also, could someone clear up why Marissa's mom couldn't call the cops? "What are you gonna tell them when they ask why she left?" Are the cops really going to be concerned with the fact that Julie Cooper slept with Luke? Would they not help her because she betrayed her daughter's trust?

I guess I'll keep watching until the end of the season, but I'm not sure I can see myself watching a second season of this show.

I wanna know how Ryan ended up on the ground after such a wimpy push. <<shrug>>

batman: i think that the cops *could* be concerned about julie cooper having sex with an underage boy -- statutory rape and all, but i do find it a bit unlikely (societal double standard, i imagine they would care if jimmy were boinking summer)

Yeah, I noticed that one too. He seems to be falling down quite a bit these days.

Brianna: I guess for some reason I assumed Luke was 18. What grade are they supposed to be in, anyway? I still don't think the fuzz would have been all too concerned with it. Especially if they had a missing child on their hands with a history of depression and attempted suicide.

I believe they actually stated at some point that he was 18 because I was under that exact same impression.

hmm i dunno i thought they were all juniors so 16 or 17... but it's all just guesswork on my part.

re: Luke's age

Well, what was it that Julie Cooper said to him?

"oh, right. Because you're XX-years old" (or was that "in high school"?)

(no, I don't remember --- anyone?)

Pretty sure she just said high school.

I think they're juniors, and sagutory is sagutory. They'd care. And plus, Julie is a reasonably paranoid individual, so even if he were 18, she'd be worried about the cop telling his wife (perhaps a spa woman!) and so on and so forth.

ANNA NEEDS TO COME BACK!

And speaking of her, I just saw the girl who plays her on some other show on like TBS or something called the Dumbass show or something like that. It's kinda like MTV's Jackass. She had long brown hair (possibly) a wig but yeah it was Anna.

I hope they bring her back to the show; she's cool peoples. lol.

Technically, you are watching the second season... but we won't spread that around :D

So, how many episodes left in this season? Any predictions for the cliff-hanger? Suicide / drug overdose is out -- been there, botched that. How about a pregnancy?

4 episodes left in the season i think.

i'm not sure we can rule out drugs/suicide since the show seems intent on beating that horse to death. pregnancy would be interesting but I think they'll avoid it because giving someone a kid does nothing for the show and I seriously doubt that Fox is going to go the abortion route. I keep wondering when the're going to give seth and summer a serious storyline instead of using them only as comic relief. The ryan drama is getting to be a bit too repetative -- how many times can that guy get in a fist fight before everyone changes the channel?

No, technically we're still watching the first season. It's just that fox has taken such long breaks that it seems like we're watching the second or third season.

Pregnancy would be a good guess. There are all sorts of possibilities that would fit in with The O.C.'s style. Perhaps Theresa is pregnant with Ryan's child. Or maybe Julie is pregnant with Luke's. I can't see Marissa or Summer getting pregnant. My guess would be Theresa.

Five.. maybe six more. Then, I ~swear~ I'm gonna do it ;)

It sure seemed like a season-ender last summer with the overdose... so yeah, technically the season is still the first, but that's only because nobody would buy a 6-episode season that wasn't the result of a cancellation. Clearly FOX was testing the waters with the mini-season. They should admit that they're on season one-and-a-half by now.

[/$0.02]

julie pregnant with Luke's child? That's far too out there, and would have every single parent activist group on Fox's case like you wouldn't believe.

I'd bank on something like Jimmy being pregnant with Kiersten's sister's kid or something. (can't think of her name, just that she's hawt) :)

I would vote for confusion about Julie's pregnancy. Is Luke the father or will it be Kiersten's sibling? Of course, then I think it would turn out to be Kiersten's father's baby.

i think the julie pregnant thing is too far out there -- i'm with batman, it'll probalby be teresa if anyone. The'll be a big work up about if the kid is ryan's (which should facillitate another round of punching eddie -- woohoo.) but in the end it will be eddie's kids which is A-OK for fox cause the're getting married and the right wing shouldn't get too piced off at them :).

I love this show. disclaimer: I went to a private high school in a rich area. However I was more like Seth without getting girls.

So, brianna and I were talking yesterday, and she posited that Fox will continue to kill off all characters until the only people that are left actually like Coop.
Yikes, I say.

Seriously, what is up with Caleb? Does he really "know" all there is to know about the slutty Coop? (this, for the benefit of anyone clued out, does not yet refer to Jimmy, who will soon be sleeping with Sandy if he doesn't rein in his gonads)

Speaking of which, the prize for "worst kept secret relationship" will be going to Jimmy and Haley. Honourable mention goes to Luke the Blurter. Get well, Lukey, and maybe you can spin-off "The OC - Pacific Northwest"

[/sass]

i honestly think that they keep kicking off characters just to mock my desire that they please kill of marissa.

This is season two... the show was a mid-season replacement. The first 6 episodes were ordered for a summer release. If they'd bombed there would never have been a season two...

Any word on them running some sort of full season marathon on FX this summer?

I've only watched bits and pieces of this show but I'm sure I would love it if I watched it from the start. I've got the biggest crush on Adam Brody since he was on Gilmore Girls :love:

averett: he's mine. back off b*tch :).

I bet the line for that boy is quite long :lol:

Good episode this week. I'll definately be looking forward to the final episode of the season. I loved Sandy's reaction to Jimmy punching Caleb.

I had to laugh when the upcoming week's episode shows them all sitting around having a family dinner.

Good episode!

All I know is that hooker was a hottie...worth every penny...well if they had actually gotten some, that is.

All I can say is, "I love the Vegas"

ok why was jimmy at the bachlor party? serious why on earth would he go to that?.

also: the hooker and the male stripper had gross hair.

also: "i want to marry the hotel and have little gambling-addicted, alcoholic kids with it." hee! i love you seth.

..
