I'm still feeling kind of guilty, but I haven't been watching as regularly this season since The OC started. The show has taken a downturn, especially in the last few seasons and I still feel bad because it does make me laugh- just not as much as it used to. I mean, I've been watching the show since I was 14 years old, I almost feel like I'm cheating or something.
The reason I chose The OC over this? Will and Grace have become psychotically co-dependent, and Jack and Karen have basically become caricatures of their former selves. Sean Hayes seems to be phoning in his performance and even Megan Mullally has said that during the taping of one episode, she said "God, is this scene almost over?" in every take, and no one ever noticed until it went to air.
Also, bringing in a boyfriend for Will was too little, too late. The show had been on for 6 years before Will was shown kissing a guy he was in a relationship with- and even that wasn't scripted, the actors did that on their own. For Christ sakes, considering the show has 2 gay men as main characters, it's sad that Grace and Karen have been shown kissing each other about 10 times as often as any 2 guys on the show.
Sorry about the rant, I seriously love the show and still watch the syndicated shows every night, but I've been so disappointed in it recently that I wonder where everything went wrong.
