It is time now to discuss a question that falls under my favourite topic of conversation. TV shows. TV shows are my favourite mode of escapism. TV is like a book that does all the thinking for you. It takes you to a parallel universe where nothing is ever boring. Anyways....here is the ever-baffling question. Is the OC a better TV show than One Tree Hill?
The OC is about a rich white world. What initially catches your eye are the flashy clothes, the over the top jewellry, the mansions. And while the drama itself is pathetic bordering on stupid, the riches make you want to see more. Again, it is all about escapism. Who wants to know about a poor kids life when they can watch a neighbourhood of mansions and chanel?
On the other hand, One Tree Hill has beautiful people and none of them are the feel-like-slapping-her/him baby-face beautiful...like Marissa. Tree Hill is like a town full of Summers, with varying degrees of attitude. It also has a great deal of the most fundamental emotion that is severely lacking in the OC ; friendship. And sure, there are glimpses of the Seth-Ryan, Summer-Marissa friendships, but not nearly enough, and not with enough intensity. All the OC seems to be about are deaths, trauma and love affairs. One Tree Hill actually has a reasonable, if not great story-line. More importantly, it is centred around a basketball team, so if everything else sucks, there's always the scenes with the basketball games to make it interesting. The thing that OTH lacks, is finer touches. The direction, the cinematography, and in many cases, the acting leaves much to be desired.
So, does the good script, beautiful people and awesome basketball action beat the world of the rich and famous, good acting and direction and excellent music? It is an answer that I may never arrive at.

i feel really sorry 4 u
lol
I disagree with ur statement of a bad story line. I personally feel it has a decent enough story line.. Although i haven't seen the OC but based on your description it seems a complete goner.
i dont agree with you...oc has a very good story line and i prefer it to oth...oc is the best forever!!!!!!!!
OC vs OTH is a no contest...
Altho they're so similiar an have the same car crashes,same central character who influences the life of the others,some slutty characters,...both of them are still so radically different.
OTH is based on two brothers who have are connected by a game and a father an is basically about relationships an making the right choice.
OC is about a kid with a dysfunctional family who is raised by a sympathetic lawyer an abt the various harsh realties of life in the business world altho it took an abrupt but desirable turn when marissa died because Taylor is so much better..
Both have good music an good humour.
One thing tat OTH has is basketball.
One thing tat the OC has is JULIE COOPER...
