THE SUN SETS ON “THE O.C.” WHEN THE SERIES FINALE AIRS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, ON FOX
The sun will set for the last time on THE O.C. when the series ends its four-season run Thursday, Feb. 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The countdown has begun, with all-original episodes airing from Thursday, Jan. 4 through the last episode on Feb. 22.
THE O.C. stars Peter Gallagher (Sandy Cohen), Kelly Rowan (Kirsten Cohen), Benjamin McKenzie (Ryan Atwood), Adam Brody (Seth Cohen), Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper), Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts), Autumn Reeser (Taylor Townsend) and Willa Holland (Autumn Reeser).
Set in Orange County, California, THE O.C. premiered in August 2003. It follows a group of friends and families whose lives were changed by the arrival of an outsider – Ryan Atwood – to their ocean-side community of Newport Beach.
THE O.C. revived the teen drama genre while including humorous and heartfelt adult storylines. Shortly after its summer premiere, THE O.C. was a pop culture phenomenon – its actors are household names and its indie music (and subsequent six soundtracks) and hip California wardrobe are sought-after in stores. The show’s Newport Beach locale also has become a popular tourist attraction as fans visit the real locations featured in their favorite episodes.
"THE O.C. Season Four finale will also be the series finale. This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close,” said Josh Schwartz, creator and executive producer of THE O.C. “Thanks to the hard work of our cast, crew and writers, we have enjoyed our best season yet, and what better time to go out than creatively on top. It has been an amazing experience and a great run. For a certain audience, at a certain time, THE O.C. has meant something. For that we are grateful."

I kinda felt that way when Star Trek Enterprise was canceled after 4 seasons. It had just STARTED to get good
I don't know .... to me it just seemed that show never found itself ..... spent it's entire run trying to figure out what it wanted to be about ......... but on the plus side ... Spike is now running Voyager in syndication!!! Should bring the DVD prices down to realistic levels!

battlestar is getting better and better, stargate has a season to finish, and atlantis rolls on. turner classic movies keeps me in black'n'white bliss between bouts of scifi, mythbusters, and mike rowe. all is good.

Did anyone miss "Smith"? It was just starting to get interesting. Ah well, I don't watch that much TV. I only catch "Heroes" on the web since I work Monday evenings....

Yes I miss Smith, I believe they put out the whole 7 episodes online. I saw them and really wished they would have kept that show

I think Enterprise was finally finding it's groove in season 4. Manny Coto came on board and started to finally tie the show into the original Trek, a direction it should have been going the entire time. Sadly it was too little too late and Paramount pulled the plug. What really killed Enterprise was that whole season 3 "Xindi/temporal cold war epoch storyline." They lost the interest of the casual viewer and that is the ratings lifeblood of any show. Same thing happened to Doctor Who in 1989, ratings slipped and the casual viewer went away.
Any show needs to hold the attention of the mass public to stay alive. All shows will have their "core" audiences, but sometimes that is not enough to keep the ratings up

It's Nielsen Ratings weren't great but it was the most recorded show on DVR out of any show on television - that's definitely saying something in this day and age. It's a shame because as upset as I was that they killed Marissa (Mischa Barton) this season has been great.
Oh well, off to find a new TV Obsession - guess I can finally watch Grey's Anatomy....
