Agnes paper had the great line Welcome to the O.C., Bitch! in a translation as header for the article:

Willkommen in O.C., du Pisser!
Yes, it means what you think it does. Now I am watching the German version right now and the voices are awful! Ryan sounds way older, and Seth is not geeky enough.

This is taken from my leftist newspaper:

Nicht verpassen!
Orange Ghetto

"O. C., California", 20.15 Uhr, Pro7

Von D.C. über N.Y.C. bis O.C. - es ist kodierte Magie, die uns auch heute noch verlegen vom american dream schwärmen lässt. Alles geht: locker und "kind of amazing". So auch in der noblen Strandgemeinde Orange County, wo Superreiche eine verlogene Parallelgesellschaft bilden. In diese Welt aus Poolpartys und Charity-Empfängen stößt das Ghetto-Crashkid Ryan, als ihn der idealistische Pflichtverteidiger Sandy in den behüteten Kreis seiner kleinen Familie aufnimmt. Immerhin ist der Autos knackende Ryan ein helles Köpfchen und wurde gerade von seiner alkoholkranken Mutter rausgeworfen. Klar, dass der aneckende Denker in Orange County für einigen Wirbel sorgt und mit seiner Bodenhaftung kaputte Verhältnisse entlarvt. Der Pilotfilm zum US-Kassenschlager "O.C., California" mutet an wie "Dawsons Creek" ohne Weichzeichner, ist aber trotz mancher Oberflächlichkeit und abgeschmackten Teenie-Zutaten ein durchaus ambitionierter Blick auf amerikanische Gegensätze und Abartigkeiten. Mit klaren, aber verwackelten Bildern im "24"-Look entsteht eine ungewöhnliche Bildsprache, die vor allem authentisch und ungeschminkt sein will. Exzessiver Drogenkonsum und explizit unbekleidete Party-Chicks umgarnen Ryan, der stets stirnrunzelnd durch das Wunderland taumelt. Schade nur, dass man ihm ansieht, dass er eben keine 16 mehr ist. Egal, tun wir so, als ob, denn gehaucht klingt es wie ein reizvolles Versprechen: Oh, see! PATRICK BAUER"


Maybe there will be more later, but I just felt like sharing!

I've just seen 10 minutes of it and wanted to throw something at the TV *rotfl* The voices *shudders*.

One little problem I have with the article - did they look at a map recently??? Orange County is not a city last time I checked *lol*

The voices are creepy!
Lol at the city part, I didn't even notice!

I am trying to convice my roomies and especially Jojo seems to like it. She was just clapping at Teh Drama! Heee!

Well they didn't really talk about cities, just about coding...

And yes, the voices are creepy. Didn't manage to watch it until the end though, switched to Viva during one of the commercial breaks. I shamefully admit that I actually start to like Sarah Kuttner...I want to hate her but her show is way funny! Shit!

You have to resist the evil pull! Try hating her! I know it's difficult. But she is way annoying. Maybe the writers are good and we can still hate her?
Glad you don't want to like her either!

I tried the resisting again tonight, wanted to convince myself of the evilness of Sarah Kuttner...I failed! Though tonight's show wasn't as good as yesterday's and some of the other ones I've seen, it was still way more enjoyable than 98% of "normal" television. And it's not the writers, she is funny, at least to me.
I'm really sorry! I blame a strange kind of twisted patriotism, she is from Friedrichshain after all...I know it's not an excuse and I'm thruthfully sorry!

Ich hatte es schon die Tage gesehen und gleich an Dich gedacht...

Wollte Dir nur etwas vorbeibringen. Ist nicht perfekt, aber ich arbeite daran:

Wow, the colours in this are great! Totally love how the writing is almost transluscent and disappearing into the background. And it's such a happy!icon!
Thank you.

Does Iviera mean Summer or something, or will I be really embarassed that I asked this question? Did you catch the Whedon shout out in last weeks english The OC? It made me love Zach!

[kskitten.livejournal.com]

Don't know whether I really caught the shot out, was it last week's or this week's O.C., cause I didn't see the most recent one. What exactly was it?
I think Iviera is actually Riviera Magazine which is used a lot?

[offputting.livejournal.com]

Actually, I didn't catch the most rescent one either... I was at the Cheesecake Factory. :P It was in the episode before that, the one where Sandy sang.
