Title: Poor substitute for the OC
Review: I had high hopes for this series. It not only came from the creators of my favorite show, The OC, but it was based on my favorite book series. I was disappointed when looking through the episode guide to see how few episodes Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage actually wrote. Many of the story lines and character relationships seemed very similar to those of The OC. You can see how every character on GG is really modeled after one on the OC. With all these similarities I wanted a little more quick dialogue and ironic plots. As far as comparing to the books, they basically changed everything. It's not a bad show, it's extremely entertaining, but if you're looking for a direct portal into the books or a way to sooth the pain of The OC's cancellation, keep on looking.
