The O.C.- most unimaginative script writers.

Rossonero

All that's on is people breaking up with eachother. I check in on it time to time coz its more of a comedy. They break up for no reason. But Merissa is the definition of sexy!

Winters

If you dont like it dont watch it.

It's just a re-hash of Dawsons creek and 90210, i.e. rubbish. Seen a few minutes of a few episodes, doesn't really entice me to watch more.

It's just entertainment. Why get worked up?

bacon?

bubblegum for the brain.

It's not a take off of Dawson's Creek. Even though I loved watching DC, it annoyed me at times with the big words and silly story lines.

The OC is far more entertaining Never seen 90210 so can't comment on that

No it's not, I hate when people compare it to Dawson's Creek (only people who have only watched snippits).

The script may not be the most imaginative, but the show is doing great in the ratings so why risk that?

They did bring in the new lesbian storyline, which I'm sure will entice the lads.

banquo

lets be honest. if they brought out a tv drama that was completely different, no one here would watch it.

tvnutz

the OC is nothing more than a gulity pleasure for me,i enjoy it and expect nothing more.I watch other intelligent shows like Carnivale,Jack and Bobby etc. so I get my imaginative scripts from those and other shows!

Oh Jesus I hate The OC. Everybody hooks up in random permutations, then the next week they all swap. Now the attention whore lesbian story? What happened, did the writers run out of hetero combinations? And what the hell age is anybody supposed to be?

They put all the character names in two hats, male in one and female in the other. They pick one from each, put the names into a computer and it generates a story for them, the writers then just press print and it's all done. The must have accidently put a female name into the male hat and a female name was picked from both hats. The writers didn't know what to do so just put both female names into the computer.

I'm sure I seen an episode of this where it turned out alot of them were secretly related to each other.

I think it was the Chrismanakauh episode. Personally I thought Festivus was a much better idea.

Are you thinking of when they all find out that Shannon Lucio's character is really Caleb's illegitimate daughter & Kirsten now has a new half sister & Seth a new aunt.

This thread proves that people who watch the OC are for the most part, morons.

Wat D U tink of Marisa? I thnk she Is TOO HOT!!! LOL!!!! Omg Did U c that Crismuaker Episoad?iT was graet.Linsiy Daugheter of Caleb!! oMG!!

I'm ashamed to watch it, but I like the writers' sense of humour. Plus, the girls who play Lindsay and Alex are ffffffffffffffffffffit.

OY

The writing is not great, the upside down kiss with the spiderman thing a few weeks ago was just vomitingly stupid!

But it has an OK sound track at times. Thinking of the "hallelluja" music end of last season! Go Rufus!

Not that i watch it or anything.....ahem!...

Crucifix

I've only watched one episode, and it hurt me, it hurt me real bad.

banquo

there are some very cringeworthy moments, but when its good its very good. it always felt like a slightly simpler version of the "West Wing" or "gimore girls."

gilmore girls rocks. now lets have a thread on that!.

How the hell did Marissa turn lesbian? Just two weeks ago, if you let your dick poke out of your underwear she'd have pounced on it before you had time to blush. I mean the girl was a maneater, and now we're just supposed to accept that "no wait, actually she's gay".

That is funny! Because it is true!

Delta_ie

I think they were trying to compare her and mother and how she hates her mother but infact they are very alike. Her mother says that she went through the same "phase".

I think it is good and it doesn't try to be anything else than what it is.

I have started to watch it more. I first started watching when I was hung over and lying in beb.
It is just good hang over tv that doesn't make you think.

Sorry don't know what channel you're watching this on but I've been following this on TG4 and I have to say they're building this storyline up much better than I expected. You get the impression there's a tension between them and it's not like Marisa's decided "I'm a big oul lesbian now!". Besides sexuality is fluid for alot of people. Although Buffy did this story a lot better (hardly shocking)
Anyway as for the show itself, I loved it when it started, it was a bit dark, very funny and shot in this wierd bleached out way that made Newport looking gorgeous and horrible at the same time. Then it went fluffy but managed to do it well and always entertained me. Now this year it's HORRID. Lame plotting, annoying characters.. there's been 1 epsiode this year I've really enjoyed. Anyone else agree?

Jazzy

terrible terrible dawsons creek clone.
absolute drivel..... and lets get this nice and clear

IT IS DAWSONS CREEK EXCEPT RICHER!

Delta_ie

What does it matter if it is but some people would disagree with you.
The show is what it is.

exactly, and IT IS just a dawsons creek clone.
sugar coated cr*p about feelings and other unimportent issues.

Making your stupid point for a second time in big letters doesn't make it any more worthy of attention.

Um, that was Jeff Buckley But yeah, it did sound great (doesn't it always?)

I thought that Dawson's Creek took itself way too seriously. All the "psychobabble" the characters used to spout was a bit much :rolleyes:

The OC is just a bit of fun. It can be really funny at times (Sandy and Seth especially.) It's entertaining and I watch it to see what crazy storyline going to come up next. It's not supposed to be realistic!

oh aye, it has very much the same type of structure and dialogue style as the west wing, and a little but like the GIlmore Girls. compare an ep of TWW from around the second series to the current series of the O.C and you'll see what I mean.

west wing rocks tbh. well.. it used to, anyway...

I hated hated hated Dawson's Creek with a passion. For some reason last year got totally hooked on the OC though But this season I've been disappointed so far, I think its gotten even cheesier(if thats how you spell it) than before and think its well short of its best. Although the music line ups have improved. I have both Cd sound tracks are they are excellent.
