    An excellent documentary about the degradation of human society.

    Chances are such that no one will read this post given the number of happy reviews that precede mine. Regardless, I would just like to say that, in my honest opinion, this is by far the worst television show I have ever seen. It isn't the production, but the content that sickens me. As if reality television wasn't bad enough, we are given a show where kids bicker over prom and dates and sunshine and farts. What makes matters worse is that thousands/tens of thousands(choose quantity based on current week's ratings) of people actually care. Go out and live your lives instead of watching spoiled kids ruin their own.

    I place this show in the same league of "The Andy Milonakis Show." The only positive comment I have is that I now know to stay away from Laguna Beach when I travel south.

    Great

    This show is absolutely the best reality show on. Laguna Beach is about 8 High School students living in the real OC. Lauren (LC) has a crush on LONG TIME best friend Stephen. Who happens to be dating Kristin, who is the worst character on the show. Needless to say LC hates Kristin, Kristin hates LC. It's mutual. Stephen also says that while Kristin is a "good hookup" LC is more of a "girlfriend".

    Then there is Morgan, Christina, Trey, and Talan. Morgan and Christina are best friends. Trey is Stephen's best friend and Talan is close with Kristin (They are both Juniors). This show is filled with drama while still keeping it real. It's a great show to watch definitely 10/10

    Think It Over

    I admit: I watch Laguna Beach. I'm not that ashamed to admit it, really. But what all viewers have to understand is that the show is made for fun. It's not a serious, mind-probing, makes-you-think-real-hard type of TV entertainment. It's something that's a guilty pleasure, a substitute when the reruns of Friends are getting boring.

    While I do agree that the plot (and sub-plots) are weak, there is no doubt that many people can relate to this show. Sure, not all of us drive Range Rovers and max out Daddy's credit card every weekend, but we all have a tight-knit group of friends who are always there for you, and we all experience the terrors of growing up. So exactly what does Laguna Beach: The Real OC have to offer? Hmmm...

    It's got a plot, love triangles, funny crushes, ditz talk, shopping, surfing, parties, drama, and beautiful views of the beach. It's got attractive cast members who seem real and wear hot clothes. It's got bitch fights, swearing, and kissing. Hey, to be honest, that's what most shows are about anyways.

    So don't just snub off the show because it sounds idiotic. Actually watch it and you'll find that it's quite addictive. You'll get sucked into the drama, the love lives, and all the things that go on down in Laguna Beach. But then again...that's why it's called reality TV.

    Laguna Beach: Real good TV

    Laguna Beach is probably one of the greatest shows on MTV. It follows the lives of high school students living in the picture-perfect town of Laguna Beach, California. The show is filled with cat-fights, hook-ups, and just plain backstabbing and even more! the 1st season was hosted by Lauren Conrad (a.k.a LC). 1st season was mainly about the love triangle between LC, Kristen and Stephen. With other characters like Morgan, Christina, Trey and Lo. 2nd season is hosted by Kristen, she is dealing with the return of LC and Stephen and her friend's Jessica's boyfriend problems with Jason. Laguna Beach is definitely a great guilty pleasure and i would recommend it 2 anybody who loves reality TV filled with drama!

    God this is awful, I'm still gagging on it's vapidness!

    This has to be the show that's responsible for causing part of the world to think the US is the great Satan. No, not really, but it sure doesn't help. I mean, we must look really awful to those who watch stuff like this and take it as emblematic of US society.

    One thing for sure, it is the most mindless and vapid, numbingly stupid garbage I've ever seen, but I have yet to see 'The Hills', it's spin-off. That promises even more, much more, of the same nothingness.

    Things that ought to be important to anyone with any sense of humanity are absent here. Things that typically are important to those who think of themselves before humanity, such as career and money, are also absent. in fact, the most common denominator of the important life functions in this tripe of programming are in line with what a pre-neanderthal might think of as important, such as who's my next mate and how can I attract him or her.

    Even pre-neanderthals have one up on these young people, as the former must find their own food and shelter. What kind of life is perpetual childhood, especially perpetual tween childhood? The answer is right here, and it will make you feel ashamed this piece of the 'vast wasteland' is presented by those who've come forth from our own American culture, and seem to lack any understanding of its significance in history.
