Oh See
Admit it-- you've missed those sudsy dramas about beautiful, angst-ridden white teenagers of privilege living in Southern California. That niche has been woefully empty since "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Saved by the Bell" said farewell.
Looks like your prayers have been answered, fans of Brandon and Dylan, or even Zack and Screech ("Saved by the Bell" a sudsy drama? Play with me here). "The OC" premieres tonight on Fox (9 p.m./8 central). Think "90210" without those Very Special Episodes where the Peach Pit gang learn the true meaning of Thanksgiving by inviting in a few homeless folk for the night.
O.C. Register pop culture man Steve Lynch (who, I just learned courtesy Mayrav Saar's excellent new OC Register column, is moving to New York) chronicles the recent TV and movie projects set in Orange County.
Noting that Hermosa Beach fills in for the actual O.C. in "The O.C.," Lynch sizes up the new show: It's just like the real Orange County – if you happen to be the children of rich parents reveling in debauchery, sex and tasty waves.
