I’m feeling a little down right now because “The OC” has been canceled. While it’s not my favorite show, it is pretty irreplaceable. If “24” were to be canceled, I would be bummed but I don’t think I’d miss it (the story has been told). “Smallville” desperately needs to be canceled. Even the “Law & Orders” have been on for years and as much as I love it, I don’t think I’d miss it (not with continous the reruns on cable). “Lost” is a damn fine show…but the novelty has sorta worn off. I’d miss all my shows but none as much as “The OC.”

I’ve got this thing for bad teen dramas–I always have. From “90210” to “Dawson’s Creek” to “The OC” I’ve always had a primetime soap whose key demographic is teenage girls in my life. I don’t know why I like them so much–I just do. I guess what’s appealing about “The OC” is it’s a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously–it even mocks itself quite a bit. Sitcoms tend to be too over the top. That’s what’s great about my teen dramas: they have comedic moments and interesting enough storylines to detain viewers.

And soon . . . . .
