THE O.C.

Actually, for the matter of being understood by us Europeans and Germans, this series is entitled O.C. California in these spheres. Because we, who are obviously not able to think of stories, that will entertain ourselves on our own, may not know that the O.C. is the short for the American "Orangenland" (which would be some kind of proper one to one translation.). In fact I would prefer the title

Das Orangenland (Das O.L.)

It would really contribute to the whole fun of it and furthermore would assumingly keep stupid 14 year olds from watching "that show with this really odd fruite name", that is undoubtedly a great piece of television.

WRONG EVIDENCE AND OBSERVATIONS THAT INDICATE THAT THE O.C. MAY IN FACT BE A SHOW FOR FEMALE 14 YEAR OLDS

But the fandom of filthy teenagers is not the only thing that makes a lot of people think that this series is not more than an odd, uninspired soap opera, that follows the texture of telenovelas, and dull daily soaps:
If you're just "zapping by" and suddenly find yourself facing that bunch of just way too beautifully looking human beings any chances rise that you may switch over to the channel with the "more sophisticated" programming. Series though, are not created for the attraction of the moment. They are sequences of situation and moments and therefore should be watched frequently. That may sound pretty dogmatic but as a matter of fact you should really watch at least two continuing episodes of a television series to be able to judge it's quality. It is the humble opinion of myself that anything less than that will be just a judgement of a story by it's cover.

So, to all of those german naysayers out there, who "hate" O.C. because everything and everyone looks so goddamn glossy and artificial and the characters "just talk so fucking exaggerated." ("I mean, just take a look at how the mouths of these people move.")I say: This is an American movie. As you may have recognized people talk german. Thus I assume subsequentially that it is dubbed. German voices + american gestures = mix of sign language and gestures you use when explaining something to a complete moronic person.

In the end I want to add that I'm not a fascist if it comes to human beings beneath or over a certain age. I don't think either that all 14 year olds are stupid, dull. No, they may as a matter of fact just be
a)hormonically disturbed or
b)on Ritalin
so it's not their fault.
Indeed I don't want to comment on any state of 14 year old. And my fear, expressed before, that they may be watching the same tv programming as I do doesn't have any rational cause.

Instead I should be happy and rejoice that a lot of people(mostly teenagers) are apparently growing up in the midst of really good entertainment.

WHY WATCHING THE O.C. IS IN FACT A REWARDING EXPERIENCE FOR ANY THINKING HUMAN BEING.
