Notre Dame Students love drama, and not just the drama that is happening around them. Notre Dame Students are enthralled with Teen Dramas on television. At the height of its existence, The OC was the biggest television show on campus. No meeting, class, party, or dinner could be scheduled during the FOX drama, and it was required television for any student who wanted to be with it.
For two solid years, Notre Dame Students were enthralled with the hijinks of Seth, Ryan, Summer, and Marissa, hanging on every move of the beautiful foursome. Then it all unraveled. Caleb died, Trey was shot, Ryan punched the dean, and Johnny fell off a cliff. Notre Dame Students became less and less interested in the adventures of the gang in Newport, and drama had to be found in other places.
Since The OC was cancelled, Notre Dame Students have had to look to other means to get their fix of drama. While some students have just continued to get their OC fix by watching reruns on SoapNet, others have started watching shows such as Gossip Girl, 90210, and Friday Night Lights to satisfy the teen drama fix. While these shows might be just as entertaining as The OC was, none of them has succeeded in capturing the imagination of Notre Dame Students like The OC did, once upon a time.

I go to Notre Dame and I think all of these shows are sub-par. This is an inaccurate portrayal of life at this school. I believe that you may not even attend the University. Please try and be more accurate next time. An example of shows that Notre Dame students universally enjoy are "Rock of Love Bus" "I Love Money 2" "Bromance" and "Tool Academy". Please get it right or just stop.
ReplyDeleteI don't like any of the shows "Sean" mentioned...I think you're doing a great job with accuracy!
ReplyDeleteAs Sean stated: An example of shows that Notre Dame students universally enjoy are "Rock of Love Bus" "I Love Money 2" "Bromance" and "Tool Academy". Please get it right or just stop.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely correct. ND students love VH1 shows like no other. It's not network shows, it's dumb stupid VH1 cops.
How have you made it through 19 posts without even mentioning "hooking up ND style (ND Hookup Culture woo!)" or writing letters to the editor?? lol this is good stuff tho
ReplyDeleteLets be honest..you are truly a Notre Dame Student if you have a weeknight lineup that has not only stupid vh1 shows but also weekly teen dramas aka one tree hill, gossip girl, 90210 (which was an epic failure) you name it we watch it
ReplyDeletethis post is right on. the OC, even though I hated it, packed the section lounge every night it was on. I think this post rings true for the seniors only, as we were freshmen when it was on. the younger grades never experienced the OC in its collegiate heyday.
ReplyDeleteWow, I feel old....my freshman year (1999) it was Dawson's Creek that packed the 24-hour lounge. Every week.
