I recently noticed that Doug Liman (Swingers, Go, Bourne Identity, others) was an executive producer and directed the first two eps. That almost made me want to watch a few.
"Boston Public” maybe, though my impression was it focused more on grown-ups. “Head of the Class” was a sitcom—and besides, it was good (until Howard Hesseman left).
The biggest problem with The OC is the fact that it is called “The" OC No one expect asshole transplant radio DJs from Atlanta and other asshole transplant wanna-be actors from NYC or Omaha call it The OC. It’s fecking OC. Period. In all my life I have never heard it called The OC until this goddamn show appeared. If we were going to visit friends or going to the beach we told our parents we were going to OC. OC beaches. OC girls. OC wealth. OC whities. Think about it. The Orange County? How about The LA? The Denver? The NYC? Bunch of damn idiots.
Furthermore, Chino, where the “bad kid” comes from in the show is not a bad place. The intro to the show depicts barbed wire and rolling tumble weeds. I’m not sure where they shot that crap, but it’s not Chino. The image they create of the city is inaccurate. Homes on small lots go for $700,000+ in Chino. It ain’t no ghetto. Typical OC new money trash to depict anyone north of Newport and east of Irvine as low lifes. I suppose they needed to set the bad kid somewhere, but they should have put his home somewhere in north Orange County such as Santa Ana.
Don’t worry about being harsh, man, I think I called you an idiot the other day.
I used to like 21 Jump Street, but I was only 11. I doubt I’d like it now. And I like all of one A-Ha song. Also, if you eliminate people that like the Beatles you don’t have that many people left. You and Trench, basically.
Me and Trench, eh? Well, as long “people who don’t like the Beatles” also includes at least one hot chick for me, and another one who knows how to make maple donuts for Trench, I think we’re okay.

But now I don’t need to. Thanks, bud.
I knew “The OC” would suck back when it was called “21 Jump Street.”
Some people do actually seem to believe that whole genre hasn’t just been the same show all along, but I know better.
So what other shows are a part of the series? “Boston Public”? “Head of the Class”? “Dawson’s Creek”?
“Boston Public”? “Head of the Class”?
Not those. “Dawson’s Creek,” yes. “90210”, yes. Hell, even “Smallville.”
I think mine still fit because they use high school as their primary settings.

Yes, Boston Public was about the teachers. Wait, 21 Jump St. wasn’t good?
21 Jump Street rocked, man.
Rocked.
I own the first season in DVD.

I grew up in Chino, btw.
Wonderful. People who like 21 Jump Street, A-ha, and the Beatles are now arbitors of taste....
...and now I’m struggling to find some way to make that not sound quite as harsh as it probably did.
...uh..."but they certainly arbitate in a good way!”

Nobody’s making maple doughnuts for Trench. They’re making maple bars for me.
Or else they sleep with the fishes like Peter DeLuise did in SeaQuest DSV. capisce?
