The O.C. is an American television dramedy/soap opera program broadcast on the Fox Network. O.C. stands for Orange County, California. The series, created by Josh Schwartz, debuted on August 5, 2003, with the tagline, "The best new show of the fall is coming this summer." The show's third season airs in the US on Thursday nights at 8pm/7c, the same timeslot it held in the second season. The series has been noted for its music selections, which have helped some previously little-known bands gain a certain level of fame (exposure at the least), so much so that to date, the producers have released five compilation albums featuring highlighted performers. The show has been criticized by some Orange County residents who feel that the show misrepresents their community.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Plot

List of episodes of The O.C.

The show revolves around two upper-class families in the southern California city of Newport Beach, in Orange County. The story follows Ryan Atwood, a troubled teenage boy from a dysfunctional family in Chino, California, who is transplanted to a high-class society focused on wealth and reputations. He is taken in under the care of Sandy Cohen, a successful lawyer who himself rose from humble roots; and his wife Kirsten, daughter of enormously-wealthy Orange County real estate mogul, Caleb Nichol. Ryan becomes good friends with the Cohens' geeky misfit son Seth, and falls in love with beautiful girl next door, Marissa Cooper.

Unlike many other family-friendly teen shows, The O.C. takes on the gritty issues of the rich and wealthy, such as marital problems, drugs and alcohol, and familial relationships.

The show also often makes fun of its soap opera elements and often includes self-referential jokes. Notable examples include comments about Benjamin McKenzie's likeness to Russell Crowe, Peter Gallagher's eyebrows, and Mischa Barton's weight - things often cited by fans - in addition to the show featuring its own soap opera entitled The Valley, which is similar to The O.C. An episode of the first season entitled "The L.A." introduced the viewers to some of the actors from that show. In that episode, Ryan comments on the actor's age: "How can they play high school kids?", by which Seth replies: "Hollywood, man!". This could be seen as a self-irony, since most of the actors playing the teens on the show are over 25. Additionally, many of the characters make fun of their stereotypes, such as when Ryan escapes a conversation by saying, "I'm going to go brood silently".

[edit]

The main cast

  • Peter Gallagher plays Sandy Cohen, a good-natured lawyer and former public defender who brings Ryan Atwood to his home. He is currently the CEO of the Newport Group.
  • Kelly Rowan plays Kirsten Cohen, The wife of Sandy Cohen and the mother of Seth Cohen and former CFO of her late father's real estate company and has an off and on alcohol problem.
  • Benjamin McKenzie plays Ryan Atwood, an outsider from Chino, California who is brought to live with the Cohen family in Newport.
  • Adam Brody plays Seth Cohen, the only child of Sandy and Kirsten. Seth is a stereotypical nerd who is known for his quick quips and popular culture references.
  • Mischa Barton plays Marissa Cooper, a local teenage girl whose once-seemingly-charmed life has many problems (alcohol abuse, her dysfunctional family, her romantic relationships, and exploring her sexuality among them).
  • Melinda Clarke plays Marissa's vain and scheming mother Julie Cooper (formerly Julie Cooper-Nichol), who was married to financial planner Jimmy Cooper in the beginning of the series. After learning that he stole a large sum of money from clients, she eventually divorced Jimmy and married Caleb Nichol. After Caleb's death, Julie showed signs of wanting to reconcile with Jimmy. However, she eventually lost everything when it was discovered Caleb was broke at the time of his death. Part of the fallout included being evicted from the mansion where she had been living; currently, she lives in a condominium purchased for her under questionable circumstances. An underlying motivation in Julie's actions comes from her effort to keep all aspects of her life far from a humble past in the decidedly less fashionable community of Riverside. By extension, she struggles to keep her daughter Marissa away from Ryan, whose own background in Chino is as far removed from Newport as is Julie's.
  • Rachel Bilson plays Summer Roberts, the strong-willed socialite of the four main teen characters — the love interest of Seth, and best friend to Marissa.
[edit]

Former regulars

  • Chris Carmack played Luke Ward, Marissa's egotistic-turned-good-natured jock ex-boyfriend and regular cast member episodes 2-24.
  • Alan Dale played Caleb Nichol, Kirsten's uptight, unscrupulous and selfish businessman father and eventually Julie Cooper's husband. His character was recurring throughout the first season until he became a regular during the second season. Additionally, his is the first main character to be killed off when he had a heart attack.
  • Tate Donovan played Jimmy Cooper, Marissa (and sister Kaitlin)'s father (and Julie's husband). He was a regular cast member for episodes 1-34, but his character left the O.C. for Maui. He returned following Caleb's death at the end of the second season, but after running into financial troubles he decided to leave Newport again early in the third season.

}}

The first season ran from August 2003 - May 2004. It comprised 27 episodes, including a seven-episode "season zero" that began in late summer, with a 43-day hiatus before the next twenty episodes. This was due to the FOX network's coverage of Major League Baseball playoffs and the World Series. Notable plots included:

  • Ryan's introduction and integration by Sandy into Orange County society, and his growing relationship with Marissa Cooper.
  • The destruction of Marissa's relationship with her boyfriend Luke, and his subsequent change in personality.
  • Seth's love for Marissa's best friend, Summer Roberts, becoming a strange relationship.
  • The marriage breakdown of Marissa's parents, Jimmy and Julie, as his business fraud was made public.
  • Sandy's jealousy over Kirsten and Jimmy's old relationship.
  • Sandy's changing of jobs from public defender to private attorney, which soon saw him disillusioned with the industry.
  • Sandy and Jimmy eventually going into business with a restaurant, only to be bought out by Caleb.
  • Ryan dealing with the manipulative Oliver, who tried to take Marissa away.
  • Caleb's manipulations and dirty business deals.
  • Marissa dealing with a substance abuse problem of drinking and drugs.
  • Seth having to choose between Summer and his good friend Anna.

  • Ryan's ex-girlfriend and good friend Theresa, from Chino, who came to stay for a while and whose abusive fiancee Eddie forced her to flee.
  • Sandy's overbearing mother, Sophie, (nicknamed 'the Nana') coming to stay and announcing that she was dying of cancer.
  • Luke's discovery of his father's homosexuality and eventual moving away from Orange County (and the series).
  • Kirsten's outgoing and spoiled younger sister Hailey, notorious for not doing anything with her life, coming to stay and developing a relationship with Jimmy.

In the season finale, many events came to a head: Caleb and Julie were married in a surprisingly uneventful ceremony; however Caleb later revealed to Sandy that he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Marissa moved in with Julie and Caleb, but had redeveloped her drinking problem. Jimmy and Sandy's restaurant seemed likely never to open. Seth and Summer had problems after her father did not take a liking to him. Ryan discovered Theresa was pregnant, possibly by him, and decided to move back to Chino to support her. Most of all, Seth ran away on the Summer Breeze, his sailboat, distraught by Ryan's departure.

[edit]

Show trivia and miscellany

  • The show's Producer McG attended Corona del Mar High School in Newport Beach, and he originally intended to film the high school scenes at CdM's crosstown rival Newport Harbor High School.
  • Due to labor union salary rules about filming outside of Los Angeles County, The O.C. is actually filmed at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach (40 miles away from the actual Newport Beach) to reduce costs.
  • Though the show isn't shot on location, characters frequently mention popular Orange County hangouts like South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island. The Harbor School is a fictional private school which may have been inspired by the Sage Hill School, an elite private school in the hills of Newport Coast. There exists a Newport Harbor High School, but it is a public school. Furthermore, many of the other schools mentioned on the show, such as Mater Dei High School and UCI, are all actually there. Newport Union High School, however, does not exist. Additionally, the TV show's Balboa Wetlands appear to be based upon real-life Orange County's Bolsa Chica Wetlands.
  • Before the show aired, Orange County residents referred to their county by its full name, and "The O.C." was used as a derogatory term for the area primarily used by residents of Los Angeles. (Compare San Francisco and "Frisco".) The abbreviation "O.C." was also used by local radio and television stations, but without "The." At first, the name of the show was met with scorn, but since then, some people call it "The O.C." as a joke.
  • The show is called "The O.C.", and not "Orange County" as originally planned, because a movie of that name was released shortly before the show premiered.
  • Orange County Supervisor Chris Norby went as far as to propose changing the name of Orange County's John Wayne Airport to The O.C. Airport, John Wayne Field but backed down the next day after his office received negative phone calls and emails from angry county residents.
  • The trailer for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith aired during the March 10th episode of the second season, precursored by a scene with OC star Adam Brody (acting as Seth).
  • The Newport Group HQ is also the same building used for the Miami-Dade Police HQ in CSI: Miami
  • The Newport Group seems to have been inspired by the Irvine Company, which owns a large portion of the real estate in southern and central Orange County.
  • The onscreen parody of the show, "The Valley", refers to the San Fernando Valley, a region of LA which is home to many of the large media conglomerates. The parody of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, "Sherman Oaks: The Real Valley," is set in Sherman Oaks, an affluent community in northern LA.
  • Many of the newer wealthy housing developments seen on the show are actually in Newport Coast (which was recently annexed by Newport Beach) and Crystal Cove, a few minutes drive down the PCH from Newport Beach. Appropriately enough, most of these developments are owned by the Irvine Company
  • The Beastie Boys single "Ch-Check It Out" debuted on The O.C. in "The Vegas" from Season 1 which aired April 28 2004. Yahoo Launch News Story. U2 debuted their song Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own on the show before it was released as a single, as did Coldplay with their song Fix You.
  • Adam Brody improvises some of his lines. They hinted at this when Summer reveals the star of "The Valley" improvises his lines.
  • Before the start of the 3rd season, Adam Brody, Rachel Bilson, and Ben McKenzie were Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher or his crew members.
  • Both Season 2 and Season 3 Premieres feature an opening scene after the credits with both Summer and Marissa sitting by a pool.
  • Ben McKenzie attended the University of Virginia
  • Chrismukkah is an imaginary holiday that the Cohen household celebrates to blend Seth's combined Jewish and Christian heritage.
  • Tate Donovan, who played Jimmy Cooper on the show, directed an episode of The O.C., "The Game Plan."
  • Delta Goodrem is rumoured to play Marissa's Australian cousin.
