I've got to admit, this is probably a teenybopper show more than it is anything, but I started watching at the middle of last season and I became hooked.

I think Mischa Barton(Marissa) will be missed greatly. She was one of the main characters that the show really centered on, and it will be up to Willa Holland(Caitlyn) to pick up the slack. At least Peter Gallagher(Sandy) wasnt killed off as was rumored.

From the looks of things, it will be an interesting season.

Being that I actually live in the 'OC' I tried to watch this show----once. The opening credits were so boring that I changed the chanel and I've never gone back.

I will admit that I don't have to explain where Newport Beach is anymore. :

Well, thats all she wrote.

I think this is proof that shows such as Dawsons Creek and 90210 should end right after high school.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- "The O.C.," the once-hot teenage soap opera that saw its ratings plummet like a delinquent student's grades, has been canceled.

The final episode of the drama will air 9 p.m. EST Thursday, February 22, Fox TV and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. said Wednesday.

The finale "will deliver real closure to the series, to the story we began telling four years ago," series creator Josh Schwartz said in a statement. "It will be fun and emotional and I think really satisfying. It is the finale we always planned to do."

Based in the affluent Orange County, California, city of Newport Beach, "The O.C." caught fire in its first season, 2003-04, as the top-rated drama among advertiser-favored young adults and with a total audience of nearly 10 million.

The show's story lines revolved around Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie), an outsider thrust into a heady new world of money and sex, and rich high school kids including Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) and Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) and their families.

"The O.C." didn't sustain its momentum, dropping to about 7 million weekly viewers during 2004-05 and then to fewer than 6 million last season. This year, returning in November after Fox wrapped its postseason baseball coverage, "The O.C." has only drawn about 4 million viewers.

Observers have pointed to a variety of possible reasons for the slump, including inconsistent quality, the fickleness of younger viewers and a time-slot change.

The third-season finale's high drama, in which Marissa was killed in a car crash, didn't turn the series around. This year found Ryan confronting the death of his one-time girlfriend and the man who caused it.

Fox ordered 16 episodes for the 2006-07 season and all will have aired when the series concludes in February, a network spokesman said Wednesday.

Others in the show's cast include Peter Gallagher, Kelly Rowan, Melinda Clarke, Rachel Bilson and Autumn Reeser.

Despite its brief heyday, the show helped establish cast members including Brody, Bilson and Barton as fan and tabloid favorites.

A replacement for the series was not immediately announced by Fox.

I watch it. There are adults on the show that also have storylines. However, I must admit that I don't think it's very good at all this year. Quite boring.

I never figured out why people would watch a show about Oklahoma City, anyway. I used to live there, and I wouldn't watch. :
