Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County

Folks, for those of you who think that Laguna Beach is a true reality show, shame on you. Other reality shows keep their cast sequestered and secluded from everyone else. I mean, if they didn't, you would see idiots jumping out of the wood works, spoiling every scene, when someone recognizes a cast member and sees the gaggle of cameramen. And the logistics of shooting simultaneous, spontaneous conversations in two or three different cities would be astronomical and bust MTV's budget. As for the vapid characters and shallow plots, come on people, when we attended high school, it wasn't exactly Dawson's Creek. They talk about junk just like other kids in high school. They whine about who's dating who, drool over the people they wish they were hooking up with, and wonder why they haven't been invited to the latest party. While the cast isn't real, the subject matter is spot on.

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.

...than have to sit through this IQ gravity well they call a show. Laguna Beach is by far the most useless and boring show on television today.

Now I won't presume to be more intelligent than the fans of MTV's Reality Turd of the Year here, but you must literally have to shut off all major brain activity just so you can sit through an episode without reaching for the remote in order to get AS FAR AWAY from the channel as possible.

Why?

Well first off, I admit, I was initially somewhat interested because I was hoping there would be a science fiction element given the number of bleach-blonde clones running around. I thought maybe there would be hints that this was all a covert coup of some kind conceived by an alien force.

In reality, the show's premise is much more dastardly. It's based upon the selfish plot conceived by terrestrial, corporate fascists who seek to create the most inexpensive means to supply unimaginative television to a public hooked on the reality genre. The obvious flaw here is that they demonstrate American prosperity in a vacuum, where, ironically, most of the reality is EXCLUDED in order to produce the most inoffensive pablum possible for general consumption.

But what else is new? Laguna Beach is merely one example where viewers are happily being mindf***ed for their participation.

Luckily, I am not one of these viewers. I'm boycotting this crap and I encourage those not totally suckered in yet to free your minds before it is too late.

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

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!
