LONG VERSION
Let me start off by saying that I don't watch TV so I don't know anything about the OC, if it's some cutesy teen show or whatnot, or if its like a new 90210 (which I used to watch, being that I'm an ancient 27) and haven't watched many TV show's on a frequent basis past 1996.

That being said I may not watch the OC but
The Killers, Modest Mouse AND The Walkmen (!!!!!) are all going to be on the OC, all three of which I love.

I don't plan on watching the TV shows as I'll probably be at work (7pm-7am).

Should I buy this seasons DVD next year or even just catch it on TV? The bands will be playing in some fake club called the Bait Shop. That's 3 episodes with 3 great bands which I think would be worth the buy as I don't know if I can catch the TV shows.


SHORT VERSION: - For the ADD-impaired
Does the OC suck? The Killers, Modest Mouse AND The Walkmen (!!!!!) will be on 3 episodes, so is buying the DVD set a waste still?

I kinda knew modest mouse was headed down that path but the walkmen? guess I'll have to deal. no dont buy the dvd set, go out and buy the albums of the bands you like that are on the show! I guess both mm and walkmen have had songs on car commercials now that I think about it

Why don't you just buy the CDs of the bands you like? It's not like some lame TV show about the repulsive "problems" of attractive rich people is going to feature unreleased songs or anything.

if they're in the OC, they can't be that cool. (and i like modest mouse, though the other two are utter garbage!)

The only thing ever worth watching for the cool band (or band you like) factor is the band. Teen dramas are not live shows.

Besides, the live appearances bands had last season on the show were almost entirely background to some ridiculous story or another.

No offense, but what's the logic you are using here? If the show sucks and the bands make a cameo appearance on said show, then they suck too? Nah, I don't buy it. smile

If that was true, then all the bands that have appeared on SNL would suck, as they've had some bad years. smile

Modest Mouse - mostly all great albums. The Killers - one for one on great albums so far, The Walkmen - Bows + Arrows is a kickass album, every last song.

You're probably right. The drama is going to overlay the band playing as background music, so it won't be much to fret over most likely.

Plus from what the UK bloke above me said, they apparently have a soundtrack, so they probably just want to stick the bands. I'm wondering if the OC has ties to the labels of those bands now.

I'll admit it right here, that I like the OC. The same way I liked 90210 when I was little. And dammit, I can't wait for the new season.

I don't so much watch it for the music as I do for Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson, and I kinda have a thing for Tate Donovan, too...

I sat through half an episode of The O.C. before I wanted to gouge my own eyes out.

Buy the albums, forget the show.

The OC is sweet. Now that it's on thursday nights this season, I'm so going to make a drinking game for it to play before I go out to the bars.
