You
can
thank The
O.C. for
reality
hits
like
Laguna
Beach,
The
Hills
and
The
Real
Housewives
of
Orange
County.
“You’re
welcome,
America.
Yeah,
the
accidental
legacy,”
Schwartz
joked. “You
know,
I
would
have
liked
to
have
a
piece
of
the
Real
Housewives
franchise,
that’s
for
sure…You
know,
imitation
is
the
sincerest
form
of
flattery,
I
guess
is
the
expression,
and
so
are
reality
shows
based
on
your
show.
I’m
flattered.”

Years
later,
