How do I love the O.C.? Let me count the ways:
1. It is my new 90210. The end of 90210 left a gaping void that I thought I would never fill. I was wrong!
2. Adam Brody is FUCKING ADORABLE. I just love that kid. I thought I was going to name my first born son Corey, but now I just might have to name him Seth. He lights up every scene he is in.
3. When the show first started, I was like EH. But it was mid-August. I was tired of drinking every minute, so I thought I would watch some T.V. It was the only new thing on. The first few episodes were just OK, but they are getting progressively better. Last night's episode was very cool. Lots of debauchery.
4. Reading Televion Without Pity's reviews of the show make me love it all the more.
5. What the hell else is there to do on a Wednesday at 8pm when it is 20 below outside?
6. The teen melodrama!
7. The fact that Ryan is not the ideal of "hot" but there is just something about him.
8. The fact that the "parents" and the "kids" have only 6 years age difference in real life.
9. It's set in Orange County, a place I visited when I was 12. All I remember about the place is Knott's Berry Farm and riding the Matterhorn at Disneyland. It also had a Jack In The Box, which I had never seen before. All I knew about Jack In The Box is that they had a mad cow disease scare when I was in Cali, so my mom said "We sure as hell aren't eating THERE." I didn't think the place was so damn ritzy, but what the hell do I know?
10. I love the fun little love triangle between Anna, Seth and Summer. For some reason I want him to pick that bitch Summer, maybe only because Anna is a TERRIBLE actress and her hair looks like she used a Flowbee.
