The O.C. wins...
first off, i want it to be clear that i am NOT a big fan of EITHER of these shows. i have a lot of friends who watch one or the other or (gasp!) both and i refuse to become a regular viewer.
that being said, i came home today to find that one of my roommates (james) was back early due to issues with their research equipment. if it wasn't for him, i wouldn't have been watching the season premiere of the O.C. just to state the obvious, NOTHING happens on this show!!! it may just be my ignorance and not having watched more than a handful of episodes last season, but it seems like they are in the same place. i will point out again that my favorite character is rachel bilson and then that guy she was dating, they have the best subplots in my mind and are the funniest. mischa barton is just waaaaay too whiny and that other dude has strange hair and is a thug.
anyway, it should also be noted that the show opened with the same song that was on laguna beach last night, 'Soul Meets Body' by Death Cab for Cutie. now i was just introduced to this band about a week ago (thanks africa) and they seem to be getting a lot more mainstream play...which usually ends up being when i hook up to a band anyway. i'll admit it, i am not a huge indie-band person, because i don't like putting forth the effort to track them down. i would rather wait until they reach me via mainstream channels or someone tells me about them. ok so anyway, it's a good song and band. their old stuff is pretty sweet too. i still think pump up the jam and sabotage and song 2 are great as well, so don't pigeon hole me into any group here.
ok, i completely lost track of where i was going with this entire entry. i think it had something to do with the O.C. being more tolerable than Laguna Beach. coincidentally, i had lunch (Raja Rani's...mmmmmmm) with one of my best friends from back in 6th grade -Matt- today and he was just down in Laguna Beach. i asked him if everything was in hi-def and widescreen and he just gave me a funny look...but strangely enough i saw his name fade in and fade out in front of him. creepy.
so if you have a choice, watch the O.C. neither show will get you anywhere, and at least Rescue Me has much better acting and you may learn something from CSI and nothing will ever be as funny as Seinfeld, but if you are looking for a nothingness show about young people in cali, go with OC. although if i hadn't been changing the water in the fish tanks at the time, i probably would have done the smart thing and turned the tv OFF.
that's all for now. it's time to eat some hot pockets (still searching for the inventor Rachel?) and head out to Oz to meet some grad students. grad students...now there is a fun bunch, but i'll talk about my general opinion of those forever in school in another entry. peace out <:><
