'The O.C.' is Saying Good Bye on Feb. 22
Fourth season will be the last...
Well, we can only wonder if it is the lack of storylines before "The O.C." heads firmly into soap opera territory, if Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson's real life romantic break up or something extra terristrial is the cause but the popular teen drama on Fox is calling it quits after four seasons.
In a press release just sent out it looks like the fourth season finale will also be the series finale when it airs Thursday, Feb. 22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. For fans of the show it will be a nice finish as Fox will air all-original episodes from Thursday, Jan. 4 through the last episode on Feb. 22.
RopeofSilicon journo, Laremy Legel, is a huge fan of the show and had this short eulogy:
This is a real blow to the fans of the show as this season has been a comeback story. Season four has featured all the great laughs and drama that the first two seasons showed off, and it looks as though a Seth – Summer wedding might be the final bow of a short lived but culturally significant series.
One question; why again did they put it on Thursday nights where Grey's, CSI, The Office, Earl, and CSI roam?
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.' 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."
Personally I have always enjoyed the show and am anxiously awaiting the fourth season DVD set, which will most likely be a late summer release.
