The OC
So Marisa Maskin came over for dinner tonight (we had Zachary's pizza, sooo gooood!) and it being Thursday night Marisa insisted that we watch her television program The OC, this despite the fact that at least two other excellent shows were on (well maybe, i'd never seen them but they showed promise). Discovery Channel had Free Diving national championships (no, that has nothing to do with platforms or springboards, think more along the lines of scuba diving without the S.C.U.B.A.) and The Learning Channel had a documentary on "expensive motors" all about high end, exotic cars. But whatever, we watched The OC.
First off, it's got Peter Gallagher, one of the worst actors ever to grace the screen. I think the only reason why he's made it as an actor is the star power his eye-brows hold. If only they would share it with the rest of Peter. And his character's name is Sandy. How much worse can you get. Well there's a girl named Summer, so I guess it does get worse. Now I really think the plot would be better suited to daytime soaps. It's all this shit about guy A being in love with girl B whose going out with guy C who's secretly a tranvestite space alien. Ok, well maybe if they added that last part there would be some interest in the show. Ok, I take that back. There are two good things about the show. One of the girls is cute (Lindsay) and one of the girls just started a lesbian relationship.
So In conclusion let me just say this. At 8:30 I got really excited that the show was over, only to discover to my dismay that there was yet another half hour of simpy, weak, bad acting, worse plot, shallow tv to sit through.
I realized how sad the show was when Sandy was kicking it with the father of his ex-girlfriend (who's being incriminated for arsonry, a crime she didn't commit, but who really cares if she did) and he goes and gets a cup of cup of tea (the father no longer drinks coffee because of his bad health) and Marisa shouts, "oh no, he's gonna die", and LO, he does! Predictable, yes. Emotional? Ha.
Worst part was Marisa actually enjoys the show so I had no fun ridiculing it. |
