I enjoyed the Vanity Fair excerpt on The O. C. and was surprised by the reality compared to what I remember from back in the day. The thing that sticks out again is that the show was really only ever going to last 3 seasons,, but that wasn't the business model back then. You can't follow high school students around for 5-6 seasons without it starting to feel odd and with the amount of plot they burned through in Seasons 1 and 2, the melt down in 3 and the odd turn in 4 seem inevitable. I'm looking forward to my Kindle version and now I have to go track down my bonus chapter.
