oh his crying scene was high comedy all the way. they couldn't have rubbed some hot peppers in his eyes to make it more believable.

besides i dont like the teenage girl bait of Ryan being some sort of solid, "whatever you desire", puppy dog for the boring lead girl.

― ryan (ryan), Thursday, 6 November 2003 17:17 (twenty years ago) link

but he was mean! he did a bad thing

i like the girl that helps Seth out much more than that Summer chick.

Carey, G. calls them *wrist* movements. Do you see now? This show always ends great. The kiss on the ferris wheel ride, the good music, etc. It's the stuff btwn the opening credits and the final scenes that sucks.

peter gallagher shouldn't have taken that case. bad move peter gallagher.

don't worry, we'll get through this. there's a reason we're together

I only caught the last 20 minutes last night. But they played Leaves when they were going to fuck.

I hope Seth goes with the Pittsburgh girl. Or both as we see in the previews.

Mischa Barton's face is set on permanent half-smirk. She's like the girl van der Beek.

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Thursday, 13 November 2003 14:39 (twenty years ago) link

Except she doesn't have a head like a juice box.

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Thursday, 13 November 2003 14:40 (twenty years ago) link

or the chin.

― Chris B. Sure (Chris V), Thursday, 13 November 2003 14:40 (twenty years ago) link

Now that I think about it, she's got much more of an Andrew Shue expression--there's a vacant incredulousness to the smirk.

my friend's brother is picking the music for this show starting with last night's episode. Only spoiler he has leaked is that the parents go to a key party on the New Year's Eve episode.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Thursday, 13 November 2003 15:17 (twenty years ago) link

i like some of the score-type music. specifically the poignant piano bit which seems to play during the last 10 mins of drama in each episode

― ron (ron), Thursday, 13 November 2003 15:39 (twenty years ago) link

They didn't have sex yet!!! What about SWEEPS???

― Carey (Carey), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:12 (twenty years ago) link

i have a feeling the female lead would crack like a wishbone if she actually had sex

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:14 (twenty years ago) link

That might be the most accurate thing about the show.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:18 (twenty years ago) link

gives a whole new meaning to "menage a tois"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:19 (twenty years ago) link

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:19 (twenty years ago) link

hee hee

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 13 November 2003 23:22 (twenty years ago) link

I made a bet last night about ten minutes in that they'd have sex by the end of the episode and I was under the impression that they were at the end, so I claimed I won. But my friend said no. I guess we'll see!

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 14 November 2003 00:12 (twenty years ago) link

I just found out that Mischa Barton, the lead, was the little draino girl that could in the 6th Sense.

This show is bad. It's like "The Heights" level bad. Like "Models Inc" bad...

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Friday, 14 November 2003 04:59 (twenty years ago) link

hee hee "the heights"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 05:01 (twenty years ago) link

How do YOU talk to an angel, fiddo?

― Keith Harris (kharris1128), Friday, 14 November 2003 05:04 (twenty years ago) link

mmmm jamie whatshisface. he was dreamy.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 14 November 2003 05:08 (twenty years ago) link

i think he became a born again. like vanity.

Sooner or later, Jesus snatches 'em all up.

This show is very good at the little things, warm humorous moments where the Gallagher family sits around the breakfast table and makes fun of each other. Where it falters is in its need to introduce at least one, often more than one, melodramatic plot twist into each episode. Seth is proving to be a much more charming leading man than the other kid -- I don't really see why they need the other kid at all. If this show was on the WB it might have the ooportunity to achieve greatness -- to develop slowly and find its stride. As it is, Fox network will likely suck every last blast of inspiration from it and it will be cancelled by next year. Also, it really simplifies things by having such a dimwitted female girl cast. The audience's sympathy cannot stray from Seth and the other boy.

is seth the guy with the black hair? the guy from gilmore girls?

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 28 November 2003 00:26 (twenty years ago) link

That's what I'm calling him anyway, though I could be wrong. And yes, farmboy has a disastrous hairstyle. Modern America really must decide what it to be done about male bangs.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 28 November 2003 00:28 (twenty years ago) link

seth is dreamy.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 November 2003 01:21 (twenty years ago) link

the parents rule

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 28 November 2003 01:54 (twenty years ago) link

drunk mom on the thanksgiving episode was awesome: "fresh margs!"

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 November 2003 01:58 (twenty years ago) link

I think peter gallagher has really hit his stride with this show

unfortunately I missed that thanksgiving episode! everyone told me it was awesome though

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 28 November 2003 02:00 (twenty years ago) link

awesomeness slightly detracted from due to seth's awful girlfriends, though. mary is right - get some new ladies in there!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 November 2003 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

I have a theory that summer is what's-her-face from that '70s show's daughter

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 28 November 2003 02:56 (twenty years ago) link

I missed Drunk Mom -- though the ladeez at 'arobilates' coudn't stop talking about her. These particular parents really aren't so bad, as far as TV parents go, they may be the tops. I'll have to think about this some more. But Mom was looking a bit more haggard than usual, at first I thought it was just the hangover, but it seemed to last throughout the episode. Seth was such a cutie-pie on Gilmore Girls -- I just bet Lane will never get a boyfriend again. Also, he seemed to have his wrist/hand motions in check last episode.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 28 November 2003 03:45 (twenty years ago) link

Mary, why must you taunt me like this!

― Carey (Carey), Friday, 28 November 2003 10:47 (twenty years ago) link

I know, it must super suck to be traveling throughout Europe and not have any access to the O.C. I hope you at least taped it?

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 30 November 2003 03:08 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

I think this show jumped the shark last night, and you know it pains me to even use that phrase. But really: two, *two* Members Only jackets, gratuitous irony, over use of already played out on the web "young women like the Golden Girls" meme from like four months ago, and generic cheese faux indie band featuring a Coppola as the main "event". Even Mr. Slopey-Haired Oliver seems flown in from a John Hughes film. The solution to this is more stories about the adults (and I am probably only saying this because I am OLD).

I take it you're not a Roony fan then

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:19 (twenty years ago) link

Who the fuck are Rooney? Is this an LA thing? AMG tells me they were formed last year and already have an album out on Geffen.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:21 (twenty years ago) link

What is it you're all talking about again?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:24 (twenty years ago) link

@d@m will never be a REAL Californian

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:26 (twenty years ago) link

I feel that last night requires me to have an opinion on Rooney in order to be cool but I cannot quite gather up the willpower to care

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:27 (twenty years ago) link

@d@m will never be a REAL Californian

He is probably fortunate in this regard.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:46 (twenty years ago) link

Who's the dark-haired boy with the choked-off voice that makes me want to pull my brains out? I guess you could call him my ultimate guilty pleasure because coming to the realization that I think he's hot has been one of the most frustrating things about my relationship with pop culture lately. God I hate to love him!!!
