It will focus on the relationships of a younger crowd of people and older crowd, w/ the emphasis on the older crowd.
It better not have a thing to do w/ anymore characters from Chino. That would be awful.

That idea sounds just like what the show presently is!

Patman - I resisted the urge, but I figure it wouldn't take long for someone to say it.

I finally watched the season finale for this show and all I got to say is that I was somewhat dissapointed by the show. To have the last episode be one of the weakest episodes of the season is a big downer.
It's a long wait until October.

Considering there was more comedy in a single episode of the The O.C. (which is technically a drama) than there was in the whole last season of Friends, me thinks this is a wise move.

Maybe Seth and his boat will...
I will probably watch North Shore just for her.
"I'm not a coke addict."
"Did you forget about the '80s?"
(badly paraphrased, but still
)
I love the first "user comment" on IMDB for "The O.C.":

Summary: Welcome to Fox's Amateur Hour
Finally a television show that clearly answers the questions. Why is reality television so popular?
The O.C. is "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" meets "Beverly Hills 90210", without the good writing. As a matter of fact, The O.C. makes 90210 sound Shakesperean in comparison.
The teenagers of the show look old enough to be ending their careers. it's sad to see has been 30 year old actresses pretending to be in their teens. Can anyone say BOTOX? And the lead guy reminds us that Russell Crowe, may be hot, but Russell Crowe is also a talented actor. The lead of the show has got the looks of Russell Crowe, but he's not gonna be winning any oscars any time soon. None of the characters are as nuanced as the Teenagers in the WB.
Television shows like Buffy, Gilmore Girls, Smallville, Everwood,and early Dawson's Creek changed television teens forever. Giving us a full sense of what it is to be a teenager, with real growing pains, and fascinating multi-layered dilemmas. The O.C. is so awfully written, it's actors are so wooden, and false, that it's not even sexy, it's just one big YAWN.
For great television, I still turn to HBO and the WB. it's nice to know that Fox plans to stop producing good television, in it's hopes to be the next U.P.N.

Well it's about time someone stated the obvious. I don't know how many times I've been watching the OC and thought to myself, "I wish these actors were as good as the actors from early Dawson's Creek" only to be too afraid to say it out loud.
Of course, what can we expect now that we've entered the post-Everwood era of television teens?

The only two actors that can be nit-picked are Mischa Barton and Benjamin McKenzie (who is getting better by the way). The rest of the cast is perfect and their performances week in and week out are great.
