The Fall of "The OC"

I didn't want to watch it. I stayed away from it. In the end, Cuch lent me season 1 and told me I had to watch it. As with most TV shows on dvd I stormed through them. The plotlines were pretty generic but the dialogue was witty. I was loving it so much that I couldn't wait for season 2!!! While other shows might add new cast members at this point, the OC did not do this. They added characters but these characters would only be on the show for a story arc. After the character's arc they would either move away, die or just simply disappear. Because of the lack of regular characters, viewer are left with the four principle "teenage" characters breaking up and getting back together because of the lack of alternate love interests. The show still has the witty dialogue but it doesn't make up for the recycling of plotlines. Cuch told me this wweek that he is doen with the show. I will finish this season but I am not sure about next season.
This isn't the only show losing its magic. I find myself hoping that certain other shows get cancelled. Why did I still watch these shows... because I still love the characters.
