Easily Entertained

I meant to write something about this the day it happened, but then I told myself I had to go back and write reviews of all the episodes this season. That didn’t happen, so I waited this long to say anything.

For the most part I only write about shows I really love or are noteworthy. (Especially because I have this procrastination problem.) On one of the first episodes of House, House said, “I don’t have to watch the OC, but it makes me happy.” I have to agree. It just makes me happy.

I’ll miss the music, the clothes, the location (not really what I think of when I think of Orange County),but most of all, I’ll miss the writing. The OC is great, because it’s funny. I’ll miss that.

Now I can only hope that Josh Schwartz’s next show, which is supposed to be about priveledged people from the eyes of an unknown blogger, is as good as I’m imagining.

Hooray, season premiere.

I’ve told several surprised people lately that I “still” watch the OC, and they seem quite shocked. Usually I say it’s because the music is great (which is it… I’ve found more new bands by watching this show than any other way over the past few years.) But don’t rule out the power of Seth Cohen. I know I’m not completely alone after reading Whitney Matheson of Pop Candy’s ‘The OC’ returns: Do you Still Care and found out that I wasn’t the only one who still loves this show.
