What Parents Need to Know
This review of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County was written by Betsy Wallace
Parents need to know that this show offers plenty of mild profanity, sexuality, and other possibly objectionable content, as well as general silliness. Even teen viewers may take offense at how empty and shallow the minds and lives of the cast members appear to be. Alternatively, teens may be easily swayed by the lavish, lax lifestyle of these teens who shop, lounge, and tan on their parents' dime.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what's important in their lives vs. what seems to be important to the teens on the show. What parts of their lifestyle are appealing? Which ones aren't? Is anything on the show similar to your own teens' life? What impression does this program give your kids about Southern California -- or teenage life in general?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Most are college-bound, but the show only features their leisure time. As a result, they come across as more careless and flaky than they really might be. Some teen viewers will enjoy watching two girls vie for the same cute guy's attention (as well as seeing the guy switch back and forth). But this love/lust/flirtation triangle grows boring quickly, and a critical teen viewer may wish for more characters and more variety in subject matter.

Its an awesome show!
Laguna Beach is an awesome show! Overall, there might be a few things that I don't like, such as cussing, but they keep that to a minimum on the show. They have a lot of hot girls on there ... thats a plus! =) but it's just not a show of teens fantasies ... its a show people can watch, and see the true life of someone ... Its an awesome show, and I think that people shouldn't take it the wrong way. If you really watched the show, and were a teen, you'd understand this show a lot better.

I find the whole idea very sad
I find it sad that being spoiled and shallow is "in" these days. Laguna Beach joins its peers "Rich Girls" and "My Sweet 16" on MTV and "The Simple Life" on FOX with Paris Hilton in celebrating a life that focuses purely on material gratification. MTV is often shameless in its glamorization of aimless, spoiled teenagers. Granted these characters may be real people, but this can deceive young adults into thinking that this display somehow represents normal life.

not so bad
Well Ive been watching the show with my oldest daugher and Im ashamed to admit that it is addicting. I actually really enjoy this "reality show" even though I am quiet sceptical in how much reality is true. The "drama" seems scripted but is much more PG then it got credit for in the review. And whatever they go through is no different than my worries and concerns that I had in high school... who likes who, who said what and whose going with who to prom. All in all its a good show.

life in the making
I believe that this series is something for the ages. The realistic issue that they are or were going through were something that many people can live in. Plus LC is one of the hottest chicks on the show

I Love Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach is a great show for teenagers. Not maybe for children under 12, but other than language and partying the show is great. I love watching all the drama happen and trying to predict what will happen next in the season.

I was like Okay!!!!!!!!!!
Okay where should I start! The drama with Jessica and Alex...okay the upcoming show in Cabo with Alex being all pissed about Jessica and Jason is ridiculous! Alex has no place to call her or tell her she is a sl-t because obvisouly Alex did not give a crap about Jessica's feelings! Alex is a sl-t as well as a hypocryt. Jessica needs to get over Jason's playing ways. Jason is not all that hot!
