The debate that has been on everybodys minds (who are aware of it anyway) finally came up on the iMBD.com
message boards. But before we get to that I think I will explain how I
was in that position. As it happens I saw I, Robot earlier to day –
great film. I finished my review of it about 20 mins ago, I think its
one of the longest ones I ever did. Anyway after drifting around I
found myself on the iMDB page for The O.C.
Onto the real content. As my eyes flicked down towards the message
boards I saw the topic topic that was inevitably going to come up. To
quote the topic title "O.C vs. One Tree Hill" At the end of last year, everything was going smoothly. The O.C. was set to replace Dawson’s Creek as the new teen drama just as Dawson’s Creek replaced Beverly Hills 90210.
Then One Tree Hill bursts onto the sceens. It captivates our ready to be shaped minds and suddenly gets us thinking, maybe this will be the next big emo teen drama. Now chaos consumes, there is no longer just one major teen drama there are two. And in situations like this the outcome is fairly inevitable. VHS vs. Betamax, Minidisk vs. MP3, SMTV Live vs. Live and Kicking – one must be destroyed.
Of course it is possible that both could survive. But these things rarly go that way. And as for SMTV Live vs. Live and Kicking I never really liked either I just decided based on the shows they had. SMTV Live tended to have more of the best – Sabrina and Keane & Kel although they did split them up. And on top of that Live and Kicking or whatever it was at the time had So Little Time – great show, I am thinking of getting it on DVD.
Anyway from what I have seen on the topic the O.C. seems to be coming out victorious but One Tree Hill does have a vote or two. And I’m not blind enough to ignore that this is after all an O.C. board so the bias is going to be obvious. But anyway, check it out here.
