THe OC

[OMGPRCM]

If your not watching it, u should be!! I really want Ryan and Taylor to get together!

[Dean Wormer]

This is going to get entertaining.

[IAPAI]

it's gone downhill fast. and the next Christmas episode looks insanely cheesy.

[jaimej]

Not gonna lie, I still watch it. Though it won't get any better than the first season.

[royalbq]

I still watch it. I have faith in this season. Last season was complete crap and not just because Marissa died. I was actually glad she opted to leave the show because that character just pissed me off. She was so miserable and always getting into some type of trouble. It just got old and tired.

I'm really glad that they made Taylor a main character this season. Between Taylor and Summer, perhaps The OC can be saved.

[OMGPRCM]

I've loved it since the first episode but i really hoped it was a joke about marissa dying she was my favorite but she did get in a lot of trouble or blew things like way out of proporsion (sp?)

Taylor is my new favorite character though i want her and ryan together so bad!!

[kirbs84]

It's gotten progressively worse with each season. I'll withhold judgment on this season until it closer to the end...but it didn't exactly start off great. I'll keep watching just for the reasons I started in the first place...it's on between shows I already like...and the girls are smokin'

[royalbq]

I have to admit, I did cry when Marissa died. As angry as she made me throughout the entire season, I cried like a baby when she died in Ryan's arms.

[JesusV2]

Omgz Greatest Thread Eva!

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

I can't stand Taylor. They should bring back Oliver as a suprise twist.

[average_jane]

I can't stand Taylor. They should bring back Oliver as a suprise twist.

haha yeah they should.

i havent watched since the second season - the third was so bad I couldn't handle it anymore.

[hayLAYuhROSE]

I can't stand Taylor. They should bring back Oliver as a suprise twist.
Hell yeah. oliver was the best.
you know i didnt even know that the oc was on... still on thursday?

[jaimej]

I can't stand Taylor. They should bring back Oliver as a suprise twist.

My favorite episodes are the ones he was in. The Christmas and New Years of the first season. Nothing will top them.

[yodaplaysdrums]

Series 4 can't get any worse than series 3. Series 3 summed up:

- Marrissa is miserable for 20 episodes then dies.

[boldt_action]

Season 4 has been alright.

I still watch. Season 3 was miserable.

[lindZ629]

i hated oliver...
and this season is actually pretty good, never gonna be like season 1, but still pretty good

[OMGPRCM]

Series 4 can't get any worse than series 3. Series 3 summed up:

yea that pretty much sums it up

But they should never bring back oliver, he was a raging lunatic!!!

[royalbq]

That's excellent! When she started doing coke I was like "how cliche". Boring, stupid, time to change the channel.

[yodaplaysdrums]

If series 4 was just Seth, Summer and Taylor on screen for the whole show it would be great. Adding in Anna to that mix would make it perfect.

[gilatron5000]

There REALLY needs to be an OC thread pinned to the top. I'm tired of seeing 3 new "OMFG THE OC!" threads every fucking week.

That being said, I still enjoy it. Not as much as I used to, though.

[BirdsNMyEars]

The new episode is on tonight

Everyone watch!!!

[sateendreem]

I never thought that I would have that "I want Ryan and Taylor to be together" feeling, but now I do so bad. I thought the show was going to suck without Marissa and now it's just kind of like Marissa who? I mean the first season was SO good and I loved it, then with seasons two and three they were good, but not like the first one.

I like it now though better than two or three.

marissa was absolute crap..worst character on the show
ryan and taylor are kind of cute though

[EndlessMike]

Yeah, I didn't see last years Chrismukkah episode, but I can't imagine it could be any worse than this years. I was looking forward to it because the rest of the season has been decent, but I was severely let down.

[sateendreem]

I agree with you. It was very strange that I feel that way considering that I liked her in the first season and now I don't like the person (animal) she had become.

[invincibleXL]

marissa was a horrible character since day 1. i dont get why so many liked her. she was such an over dramatic naive girl most of the time. anyways i hope the show stays on.

I think they are set for a whole season no matter what the ratings are, although they might be in danger next year.

[shawnb213]

Unless the ratings go up, they are only getting 16 episodes this year. And I really don't think next year is going to happen and that is when I will enter a deep deep state of depression.

[icyeyes26]

i miss the first season............ but ill still always watch it.

Since Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson aren't together anymore, im still hoping for summer and seth!!!

[icyeyes26]

this is supposed to be the last season

[takingbackrufio]

Season 1 > Season 4 > Season 2 > Season 3

Season four is good so far, now that Josh is back in charge. I like what they're doing with it; unfortunately, nobody's watching.

[yo la tengo!]

I used to be such a huge fan, but stopped watching regularly halfway through season 3.
is this year better at all?

[takingbackrufio]

Just a little side note: I read that reguardless of Adam and Rachel being together that they are never going to break up Seth and Summer. (E online)

I'll have to catch up and start watching again.

Damn, every torrent I download has audio and no video. I don't see it on myspace either.

[Drew Beringer]

This season is great, too bad Scrubs is on during it.

[jaimej]

Agreed. I like this season a lot better than the last. And it's a good thing I have DVR and can watch Scrubs and start the OC right after its over. :-)

[Talib Scottie]

Marissa Cooper dying is the best thing that ever happened to the series.

[gilatron5000]

Marissa Cooper dying is the best thing that ever happened to the series.
If only she actually had kicked the bucket in Tijuana, imagine how good the show would have been in the 2nd & 3rd seasons.

[HEREweG0again]

Ryan's dad? Yep didn't see that one coming!
rightt with you i didnt see any of it coming..i sat there with my hand over my mouth for a good like 2 minutess

[sateendreem]

rightt with you i didnt see any of it coming..i sat there with my hand over my mouth for a good like 2 minutess

I know my mouth was agape and I think somewhere after a minute or so I said NO!!!! No one else watches it with me, but it was funny none the less!

Should we (all of us that post here) have like an OC viewing party on Thursday's?

Just a thought

[takingbackrufio]

Man, I love knowing long-time AP'ers still love the show.

I'm calling last week's episode one of the best ever. :jawdrop:

[takingbackrufio]

A-friggin-men.

She's a delusional bitch who weighed down the potential of the rest of the characters. I'm just glad that I'm getting to see one season without everything revolving around her; I'd rather have the show cancelled after this year than having Marisssa be on board for another three seasons. Although of course, I'll still be upset if/when it is cancelled, given that it is far more entertaining now. There's always hope (that it won't get cancelled).

[konstantine94]

I can't get a torrent for the last episode, and I'm dying to see it. Every torrent I download is audio and no video.

It just seems so much better than it used to be! (seasons 2 and three sucked) I really have liked this season so much more than I thought I would.

It just keeps getting better... What do you thing Ryan's dad wants? (Money?)

[theESCO]

Dude...Ryans dad is Hercules.

hmmm... well i dont think he wants money cause isnt he already working bullet or w.e? and is it just me or is ryan and taylor too soon?

[sateendreem]

hmmm... well i dont think he wants money cause isnt he already working bullet or w.e? and is it just me or is ryan and taylor too soon?

Well I don't think he wants to be Ryan's dad and warm and fuzzy again... There's something there that I don't trust... Can't put my finger on it though.

I think I am rooting for Ryan and Taylor. They're just opposite enough that for me it works. Too soon as far as their relationship is concerned with the way they are going? For me it seems all right.

There is no way Seth and Summer are getting married though. They're too young!

[weworemasks]

Dude...Ryans dad is Hercules.

jesus christ, i knew someone would ruin my joke. AGH, i thought of it right away and wanted to post, but i am humbled. :appl:

yea i wasnt all for ryan and taylor at first but i feel like im actually starting to like her... i just meant like i thought it was too soon for ryan to be doing anything since after marissa ehh i really dont know. as far as seth and summer getting married, yea i doubt it there just too young... i guess well have to wait 2 weeeks to find out! :thumbdwn:

I hate breaks in the season. Two weeks is way too long! I say mutiny who's with me?

If there is a mutiny I need a whole new outfit... Something in a spring dress maybe.

I think the way Ryan is different with Taylor is very cute. He's less passionate, but more sweet or something with Taylor. They way they mesh on screen together is something I like.

[takingbackrufio]

As far as Ryan and Taylor are concerned ... I think it's fitting. I think people tend to forget that the first episode of this season occurred 5 months after Marissa's death. I mean, Ryan did love her, but now that it's about 8 episodes in, that's about 7 months after the death that he is getting into another relationship. And I have to say that the writers executed the lead-up perfectly, so that they could drop the relationship if it wasn't working (I think they're satisfied with how it turned out, though). I think it's good.

As for Ryan's Dad ... absolutely awesome plot twist. I am very intrigued as to what will follow his arrival in Newport; I reckon he wants some sort of reimbursement from the Cohens. I imagine there is another plot twist coming soon that will give his Dad some leverage or something like that.

[Sargent Sausage]

There only doing 16 episodes this season :( and the ratings are not up to par, with the OC standard,Fox is most likely not gonna renew the OC for S5 , Which is horrible because this season is great, so much more fun, light hearted humor but with good twists, anyways, theres a poll on the new CW website about it going there or somethin,which would be killer. oh and taylor is so damn hot,espically with that black langeray, mm way,

season 1 ratings: around 9 million

season 2 ratings : around 7.7 million

season 3: around 5 million

season 4 :around 4 million

The numbers are correct, but we can keep in mind that the ratings have been increasing lately (I think they bumped them up about a million since the season 4 debut). It still probably won't be enough, but I'm crossing my fingers.

It's not so much the show's fault as it is FOX for putting it in such a shitty time slot.

Did fox think they could compete with Grey's Anatomy or Survivor? I'm sorry, but that was a stupid idea by fox, they should air it at like eight or something.

[gilatron5000]

It's not so much the show's fault as it is FOX for putting it in such a shitty time slot.Seriously, how can The O.C. compete with both Grey's Anatomy AND CSI. I wonder how a show like House or American Idol would do against them.

Hey Sargent, did you see her in Stuff Magazine? Or was it Maxim? Oh well. Either way, it was pretty hot.

[HEREweG0again]

blahhh i wish they would have just ended it at season 3... but im starting to get used to season 4

i dislike how just because marissa died , people feel there is no point to continue to watch the show, marissa storyline was getting old and boring. sure she was a interesting character , but the oc needed change. , half the people that watched the show from season1 ,don't even no the O.C still exists anymore,which is sad.

[takingbackrufio]

hmmm really... what about season 1? thats number one on my list!
Season 1 was great, yes, and probably tops the list. I decided not to put it on there because it would take away from the point I was trying to make to you -- that season 4 is the best since season 1, and even has the potential to be better.

not a whole lot more they coulda had her do...

She did try everything known to man and it was sad that she died or whatever, but the changes have brought new life to the show even though no one really watches it anymore. Which is sad because the show is so much better this season. I love this season. (Marissa who?)

[shaneharley1990]

I love this season,
Probably one of my favourite's so far.
The plots are just so much more fun, and their
trying different ways of doing things.
I'm going to be really disappointed if it's not
renewed for a new season.

an interview with josh schwartz (creator) about the last season

[Kif]

I guess Fox really do suck at promoting good shows (I still retain this season is the second-best for the whole show).

[jaimej]

I felt they never gave closure to the whole Theresa-baby thing. I mean she SAID it was Eddie's, but why would she hide it the way she did? Seems fishy to me, though with only 8 episodes left I don't see how they could continue that story line. Maybe (hopefully!) on the CW.
