Laguna Beach
Created by Liz Gateley, Gary Auerbach, Adam DiVello
On MTV
A sun-soaked reality series following wealthy California teenagers through romance, friendship drama, and social hierarchies, designed as aspirational lifestyle television rather than documentary scrutiny.
Like other teens in California, the lives of the Laguna Beach teenagers are filled with sandy beaches, beautiful friends and love triangles. But unlike other teens, they had cameras following them around. It may look like fantasyland, but they're not acting: they really are this rich and beautiful. For them, life really is a day at the beach.
