Thursday Night TV Report:

The O.C.:

Alright, I think it's obvious that The O.C. is in a bit of a sophomore slump. Last season it was so fresh and so creative and well-written. This season I think it still trying to decide what to do with the characters, trying to iron out some plot lines (mistakes). It is almost to the point where if I missed it one week, I wouldn't be too bummed out about it. Last week I would never have missed an episode for any reason. For example, with 15 minutes to go in the show, I left on a commercial break to make a booze run. I still caught that last 7 minutes. The show still has some of the elements of what made it so great last season, but a few things are missing:

1) Viewers like to see characters they like do well and be happy. How many consecutive episodes are going to end with one or more characters sulking? We need a happy moment. The show is/was the perfect comedic drama. Now it is slipping toward being a comedic drama.

2) We need more unintentional comedy. Luke was perfect for this last year. We need a character who can be in the show for about five minutes a week and just be off the wall, stupid, funny, angry. It doesn't matter, we need some absurdity. "Welcome to The O.C., Bitch!"

3) We Sandy to give out some fatherly advise to Seth and Ryan. Who else misses that? Maybe with Holiday season coming up, both Thanksgiving, and yes, of course, Chrismakuh, we'll see some of the Coen family comedy.

A few other notes:

Does anyone else cringe when you see Julie Cooper?
Does anyone else cringe when you know Misha Barton is going to have a scene that requires good acting?
Does anyone else cringe when you know what Ryan should be saying, but instead he doesn't say a word at all?

The Seth Character is personifying the Romantically Inept.

Also, and The Rizz pointed this out, did anyone notice that when Ryan was speaking to Physics professor about his issues over the assignment and his partner that no one in the class turned around to see what was going on? In what high school would zero people be checking that out? It's the little things.

Favorite Lines:

Seth: "Less take, more give; more catching, less pitching."

Seth: "That's my niche, pathetic and sweet."

Summer: "You know there is no knocking on my door on Thursday until 9!" *The O.C. gets over at 9 on Thursdays on the East Coast. That was intentional and funny. I like it.

CSI:

A whole episode with 6 foot women who are men, just ripe for some great scientific work. Is she "still packing"? Does she have to "tuck"? Or, did they turn the sock inside out? Is the penis now a vagina? Key questions in the episode as we found out. The husband performed fallatio on his wife. Let me type that again. The husband performed fallatio on his wife. Then spit some of the cum on the girl he killed. Kick ass. Guy, can you imagine sucking your girlfriend's cock? Not my mug of beer, as opposed to cup of tea, but, hey, whatever runs blood to your penis, and her's, or his or whatever. If you were with a girl, could you tell if she had had this surgery done? One thing I was bummed about, and maybe I missed it somehow, but did they ever show the faincee of the dead girl finding out that his wife-to-be used to stand she pissed? That would be a tough pill to swallow.

Until Later.
