...I should be doing a commentary on NPR's new "Day To Day" show tomorrow (Thurs 8-14), which airs noon-1pm on NPR stations in most markets. Topic: "The O.C." vs. my Orange County.
I'm there. Everybody's comparing that show to 90210, but you know what it reminds me of? Buffy! Think about it: An unconventionally pretty blond who looks good in a tank top moves to a suburb of LA, instantly makes best friends with an adorable, motormouthed geek, gets into fights constantly, and has to deal with their demons under the guidance of a strikingly handsome father figure with a funny accent. Okay, so this kid's demons are psychological rather than actual bumpy-faced monsters. And I'm not sure if the geek is more like Willow or Xander (before his tragic stuffed-crust addiction). But still.
