Thanks for the new thread

I put my favorite thing about them in the title ;)

Nice ;)

Still wish more teen shows would follow suit.

Same here

Adult shows have gotten better, but teen shows still seem to struggle a bit here, lol.

Which sucks lol

Yeah, it seems to be difficult across the board to write teenage girls as well rounded and acknowledge that they don't spend a ton of their time fighting each other over boys, lol. At least I didn't. I don't relate to that at all.

That's not surprising at all sadly

There is so much more to teenage girls than fighting over boys - if only more teen-centric shows would acknowledge that.

Would be nice if they did

Although even with The OC, they could have done more with Marissa AND Summer.

Still did a better job with these two compared to Brooke/Peyton

With their relationship, yes, it was a lot less offensive. But Marissa and Summer (really, especially Summer) were rarely given opportunities to grow outside of their relationships with boys.
