i do not see how this show be like the oc at all . first of all and the oc center around teenager and their parent try to get through life . north shore be about a hotel staff who be try to run the hotel and have a social life at the same time . second and the oc take place in california . north shore take place in hawaii . and why would fox make a show just like one of it other show on the same network . i think this be a great show with good actor for the most part . it have a good storyline and plot . i like the event that happen and how the people take care of them and work them out . the most recent episode be surprising how the story work out . it wasn not predictable like most story on most show . i hope fox keep it on the air .
