so bascially, it will have about 4 good seasons before they go to college and then, we'll see their adult lives. . .and cringe thinking 'did i really watch that program?'

I know the actor that plays the jerk boyfriend, his name is Chris Carmack and he worked with my best friend in high school so we hung out togehter a few times. I was tres excited to see him.

I guess I'm the only one that wasn't that impressed by The OC. Since it was the first episode, I will probably keep tuning in and see if it gets more interesting.

i was sitting on my couch watching it, getting all caught up in it, and of course the boy called so i wasn't paying the greatest attention to it and missed half of what happened. i'm going to have to tape it tomorrow night now since we made plans to go out. but i talked to my dad earlier and he said my mom loved it!

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.

Okay, so I caught the second half of The OC tonight. When I watched it on tuesday, I wasn't really paying much attention so I wanted to see it again and see if my opinion changed. I do like Ryan and the family, and even Marissa is alright, but I don't like the atmosphere. I know that the partying and the skin are what Fox is going for, but I am so sick of shows that glamorize sex, drugs, and alcohol to young viewers.

Again, I plan to tune in next week and give the show a chance, but I really hope the focus stays on the characters and their relationships rather than the "OC lifestyle."
