One Ocean View
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One Ocean View was an American primetime reality show about eleven single New Yorkers looking for romance on Fire Island.[1] It premiered on ABC at 10 PM ET[2], and CTV at 9 PM ET on Monday, July 31, 2006.[3] The show was similar to The Real World, another series produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, thought the cast was only together on weekends, spending their weekdays living their normal lives.
The show's cast of eleven twentysomethings included four men (John, KJ, Usman, and Zack), and seven women (Anelka, Heather, Lauren, Lisa, Mary, Miki, and Radha).
One Ocean View created much controversy amongst the typically publicity shy Fire Island visitors. The cast and producers were not welcome guests on the island while filming.[4]
One Ocean View had neither advertising nor positive reviews behind it. As a result, when the show premiered on July 31, 2006, it garnered an embarrassing 1.5/4 rating among those between 18-49. It was dropped from ABC's schedule after attracting only 2.74 million viewers on Aug. 7, making it ABC's least-watched show for that week.[5]
