It looks absolutely nothing like The O.C. from the commercials, so I'm a bit curious now that it's being compared to my new favorite show. Here's an assessment from Media Life. Now you decide if you want to watch:
Quality of show (on a scale of 10): 5.5 One thing “Pleasant” didn’t steal from “The O.C.” is its manic pacing. Things develop a bit too slowly in the pilot, and if the writers would simply speed things up, that would help the show. It could also use more humor, since the setup is so campy. Judy is the only one who shows spirit. When a ditzy classmate looks at her uniform and asks whether she works at the gas station, actress Aubrey Dollar smiles and answers back sweetly, “No, I’m volunteering.” You’d expect more bite from a show that boasts former “Buffy the Vampire” writer Marti Noxon as executive producer. You’d also expect better acting, but the cast makes the actors on “According to Jim” look charismatic. And former “Melrose Place” hunk Grant Show seems to have wandered over from syndication without any discernable reason for being. Flesh him out or drop his cryptic caretaker character.
