I agree with LeslieAGD. I thought this was just about the stupidest show I've seen in a LONG time. When the jerk-guy yells out "this is how it's done in the OC!" I was thinking "this is how WHAT is done?" A fight? A lame party? I really think that they should have called the show "Newport Beach" because this is how only a TINY portion of people in Orange County live (and yes, I've worked on the border of Newport/Irvine for a couple years). Most of the communities are pretty decent, but on the whole they don't look like what was shown last night. The people are MUCH nicer in real life, too!

I especially feel bad for the people who actually live in CHINO because their city was portrayed HORRIBLY. Chino does NOT look like this overall. I have lots of friends who grew up in great parts of this city.
In terms of Chino, they were probably playing up the 909 stereotype that I've seen. I also have lived in Orange County for three years. From what I saw of the show, it definitely had a slant toward the Newport/Corona del Mar world.

I probably won't watch regularly because I was already close to 30 during the Beverly Hills 90210/Melrose Place heyday.
