I thought that the ratings had experienced a bit of an upswing this season. Wow. This actually kind of sucks. I was totally digging the whole Taylor Townsend/Ryan thing.
-
This season has been a return to form and a promise of better things to come.
I really hope that both Ben and Adam get some solid roles as they have proved they can actually act.
Sad day for OC fans. -
But than again I never even saw the show so I can't say I care. I just hate it when they kill off characters.
-
...are a couple of 'mos.
-
That the article states that the CW is "very interested" in picking up the show. However, it does seem rather unlikely. Still, I suppose there is hope.
And HumbertHumbert can simply fuck off. Take your homophobic hate someplace else you cretin. -
i really liked this show its first season, but it's gotten steadily worse and is nearly unwatchable now. that sucks for the talented cast, though, most of whom i imagine will move on to bigger and better things, especially rachel bilson, who is supremely hot and has good charisma onscreen.
-
That's a tough pill to swallow. It's too bad the dolts at Fox stuck a proven show with a re-growing audience in a Thursday night slot where it was destined to suffer. The execs knew before this season started that the OC wouldn't last beyond 2007...it's obvious that they wanted it gone. These Fox suits have some real issues with scheduling shows properly. Do they NOT want their shows to do well? Argh...anyways hopefully the CW WILL pick it up like Lecko says...i didn't see that anywhere but if there is justice in this world then it will happen. I mean, According to Jim is still on the air but the OC is getting cancelled? There are no words...
-
and their california r.i.p. song.
-
So when does the big letter writing campaign start?
-
This show was the biggest thing on tv a couple years ago. Surprising to see it last only 4 seasons.
-
Watch, Grey's Anatomy will suffer the same fate in a few years. You can only stand to see so much of doctors fucking each other.
-
There's a few deserving shows over on the CW. ;)
-
Yeah, and suppose I actually was gay? What's your point, asshole?
-
Although on second thought, if that were true, The OC would have never happened to begin with.
-
I know you were all over this show.
-
I watched the first 13(?) episodes that summer when it first premiered. They went all out at the start and forgot they need to keep people's interest for 7 years or so. People got oversaturated with it, same as with Alias.
-
...put a newly enfreshened show in an impossible slot then throws up their hands when they don't do well? I can't believe Fox would ever screw with a franchise like that!!!
-
That show was unbelieveably horrible!!! Bad bad bad!!!! It's worse than Y&R and B&B and all those other soaps. Yes, that show was worse than a soap opera!!! Thank you FOX.. Now get rid of The War at Home and put the Simpsons to rest finally. Oh, and Til Death is already dead, dontcha know?
-
Cancelled = Too Silver
-
Never watch it, cuts into my STAR WARS viewing time... "Hey want to watch the OC? um sorry EMPIRE’s on tonight.
-
And if she would've dressed up like Harley Quinn, internet geeks would be watching THE O.C. more than HEROES...
-
There are too many soaps on TV nowadays. Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy(read: Melrose Place in a hospital), almost everything on the CW, and the list goes on. Even House is getting a bit bogged down with soapiness this season. There are too many reality shows too (1 is too many) but that's a different rant for a different TB.
-
I can FINALLY listen to Phantom Planet again and not associate myself with that stupid show.
-
They were clearly 20 somethings from the start, so I never watched. Casting adults to play kids makes no sense to me.
-
the show broke my heart when it had an episode with an elaborate party...but no fist fight.
-
i hope.
-
now do some shitty horror movie where she has to get her tits out? yes please.
-
I liked this show and if I were gay you can bet I would so go ass to mouth on you whilst forcing you to watch the show
-
The whole show was held together by mischa and ryan's relationship. once that was gone. bye OC.
-
She is so a Jedi Knight.......or at least a slave for Jabba.
-
than one who never watches a show but yet, has the time to go on a talkback to trash it. Why doesn't shit like greys anatomy, desperate houswives, american idol, dancing with the stars and all the other fucking worthless shows get cancelled? The OC was a great guilty pleasure and I will miss it.
-
Let's be honest, Sarah isn't really who Grissom wants. He's been jonesing to get it on with Lady Heather ever since they met!
-
As an OC resident, I've been waiting for this moment for four years. Whatever planet these brats are from, it sure as hell isn't mine.
-
Alton Brown is the sexiest tomboy beanpole around.
-
Another show with cookie-cutter pretty white people bites the dust. How're about putting on a show with some real OC inhabitants: Latinos & Laotians. The only white mutha fucka i want to look at is Jack Bauer. (Uh, in a non-homosexual way of course)
-
I just watched an episode of that for the first time this week, coincidentally. Well, when I say "an episode", I mean part of the opening and half of an interview with Lisa Kudrow. Then I had to change the channel because it was so difficult to watch. Awkward and cringeworthy.
-
did anything interesting happen? (and by "interesting" I mean lesbian storyline).
-
It's like so sad that like this show like was cancelled, like. Oh my God...waht will I watch when I am listening to my EMO CD's?!?
Only kidding, the show was great in season 1, but has been awful since. I am glad it has been cancelled, now cancel: Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, Desperate Housewives and give fitting finalies to The Simpsons, Lost and E.R. and I will be very happy. -
Guess you didn't get the irony of a STAR WARS geek not watching the OC even for Lucas or the Episode 3 trailer... I lied.
-
three posters don't equal a "couple".
-
Good, now make way for Futurama.
-
because they put it up against such powerful shows, of course it would lose. I love the show, its just too bad it had to be canceled because Fox enjoys killing shows that dont start with American. I wish the WB or someone would pick it up...
-
Yeah, Mullally was outside her range...playing a cartoonish, comedic supporting role with great timing is her forté. I watched her interview with Carol Burnett, and also cringed.
-
I saw a few eps when it first premiered, as my wife liked watching it. I can't for the life of me, figure out why any man would be interested in that nonsense. Hot chicks? Good shows have those, too.
-
This show was all about snotty teens living unrealistic lives. I tried watching one episode when it first started and was "so hawt" but immediately realized it was a soap for kids.
I can't imagine why other geeks (especially males) would find the show so appealing. -
Dude they put it against smallville last year and it got creamed, plus last season of smallville was not even that great.
-
between this and Laguna Beach (a title for a show that pisses me off even more than the fucking OC) they can stop raping my hometowns now. (not that newport doesnt deserve it laguna on the other hand does not deserve the ridiculous characterizations that it gets on that show)
-
Get the F out with that piece of trash. 2007 is starting awesome.
-
I did enjoy the first two seasons, they were fun, a guilty pleasure to be sure. But then Ryans character got stale, he reached this state of wisdom and his character was boring. In the first two seasons he would get angry and act spontaneously.
-
Dearest readers--as a married man, who's lived with a woman for five years, I've been subjugated into watching shows I had no interest in, such as the OC to name one.
As such, I can tell you the first three episodes or so were actually really good, and had a brilliant plot--rich, coked-up, hot, young and slutty So Cal girls acting like total hookers. It was awesome. Then I think Fox insisted it become the 2000's version of the lame and predictable 90210, and unfortunately it did. However, it was always a bit darker and had some good cliff-hangers (of sorts).
Perhaps this is why Herc liked it? I know for me such elements made it semi-enjoyable. But guys like Oliver and the rapist and the lesbian stuff just didn't make much sense and made the show more annoying than I thought possible.
This season showed some promise, but I'm not surprised Fox cancelled it. The core of the show just didn't exist any more (Ryan and Marissa), not unlike when Brenda Walsh was written out of 90210. Amazing how Fox got just what they wanted!
In any case boys, I don't think for a second Rachel Bilson can pull off Wonder Woman unless she gains back the weight she had when she wore the costume in Season 1. She didn't have that hollywood heroin look she has today (ie: boobs were bigger, legs were shapelier, etc)...basically back then she was built like a woman and now she's the classic tomboy beanpole. -
NOW IF THEY CANCEL..."ONE TREE HILL"..I WILL BE REALLY PISSED..
I KNOW THAT THE OC IS NOT WHAT IT ONCE WAS..AND I SUPPOSE I SHOULD BE GRATEFULL THAT THEY ARE SHOWING THE REMAINING EPISODES... -
No way would that work. She has a face like a munchkin. Wonder Woman needs a strong, noble face--not a cute one.
Perhaps my moniker betrays some bias, but I can't think of a single actress more suited to the role thna Morena Baccarin. -
Last week, Herc puts The OC in his list of the year's Top 10 scripted shows....now it's gone. Remember Wonderfalls? The Nine? Kidnapped? Firefly? Book of Daniel? Are there any shows he's touted loudly that have NOT been cancelled? So c'mon Herc, let's see some love for Men in Trees, Big Day, What about Brian, 'Til Death,The View...pretty much ANY POS show we want gone; if Herc sings their praise, they'll vanish from the air!!
-
Since this show is more or less responsible for MTV's lineup of reality shows about rich spoiled brats, I hope that this signals the end for those copycat shows too.
-
Yes, Morena Baccarin for WW. If not her give Summer Glau a call. If they decide to go "traditional white female" (like they always do) then go with Anne Hathaway.
-
The first season of this show was highly watchable, and the show was still new, Schwartz had no ego, and he wrote a lot of the episodes. As the show gained popularity though, Schwartz realized, he didn't need to write as much any more due to the attractiveness and star pwoer of the cast, and as a result, obviously, the stories sufferred, and sloppy writting like that lesbian storyline came up. Season 2 was still watchable, but season 3 is where is really became awful, and at this point, Schwartz was writing even less. Now, I gave up on the show then, and did not watch this latest season, but I heard it was improving, and Schwartz was writing more, but it looks to be a case of too little, too late. I'll watch the last episode, but hopefully Scwartz is now aware that just because a show is popular doesn't mean that popularity will remain, and that he still needs to work hard on the show, instead of staffing out writing job's to others while coming up with paint by numbers scenarios for the cast to go through.
-
Let's have quality writing and story development with lesbian kisses. I nominate Pam and Karen, and Veronica Mars and anyone, to start the trend.
-
Insane credit to you for saying Anne Hathaway would be the traditional white female choice for WW. I was going to mention her in my above post before your's but was afraid the talkbackers would skewer me. So great work being so bold and honest. My wife rented "devil wears prada" and I was glued to the opening credits with Anne getting dressed. Dear lord she's some out of control hot young piece of...
-
I can't believe this New OC is being dumped for the likes of Grey's Anatomy. Fuck, people talk of the plasticity of The OC Characters, but has anyone looked at the main chick from GA? She's the worst fucking actress ever, and quite frankly, I can't wait till this show withers and dies in the same nature that this gem has also.
-
She seems all wrong to me, personally. Forget the physique, she just lacks a certain... gravitas, I guess. I know there's a reason they call it "ac-ting," but there's also a reason that the job "casting director" exists. I've been reluctant to throw my hat in with all the other Whedon fans who want Morena Baccarin for the job, but the more I think about it, the more I think she'd actually be a good choice.
-
Thank God that piece of shit show is gone from our screens. I mean how gay can you get?
-
That shit show had nothing to do with good taste.
-
Someone with the screename 'masteryoda' is calling the OC gay? How fuckin' funny is that? Go play with your action figures you fucking geek.
-
The show is probably too expensive for them. I bet all the leads think they can go do movies now, especially Adam Brody who was going to quit after this year anyway.
I fell the most bad for Melinda Clarke. The OC gave her a legitimacy that Hercules, Xena, and Hellraiser never could. -
This show was bad. I don't hate on teen shows, but the OC was boring as hell....and those adults were fucking dull as hell.
-
over this show. Bring on the shield herc.
-
It's not like the first three seasons dealt heavily with high school. Also, Veronica Mars is soing a fine job out of high school, and any suffering it is doing is because of the direction of smaller mysteries vs. long ones, not anything to due with the college transition.
-
I think Marissa's death had nothing to do with it. Honestly, I think many fans were shocked to see her go, however the show has been much the better off for it. The ratings weren't great last season. It's always been in a terrible timeslot. I never understood how they could move from Wednesdays in the first place considering it was doing so well there. Oh well, I'm going to enjoy the rest of what I consider to be the shows best season yet. Ryan and Taylor are my favorite new couple.
-
because even at its weakest, the show was always smart, funny and watchable. as for those psuedo-fans who claim that the show went downhill since the first episode, fuck them. fuck them in their stupid asses. sure, the third season meandered a bit but i never found a story arc as irritating as the oliver one in season 1. still, i guess its better that a good show like the OC goes out strong (cf angel season 5), rather than fade out like ER until its but a pale reminder of its former glory.
-
God fucking dammit. It was just getting great again. Yes, I said great. Shut your hole.
