the oc returns tonight

phil - thank you for the tip about the josh schwartz interview with bill simmons.

it doesn't contain any real spoilers for tonight's episode or the season and it's a fantastic, long read. i've never seen a tv series creator come across so clearly as a "regular guy."

bill asks josh about the possibilities of creating a spin off series. schwartz responds:

We wanted to do a spin-off where Ryan gets thrown into jail and Seth gets himself thrown into the same jail to bail him out. We were going to call it "The O.Z."

schwartz on how the show was originally pitched:

the Karate Kid without the karate
