The O.C.
Bye-Bye to the OC
On Wednesday, January 3rd, The OC announced that this will be its last season. With the finale quickly approaching, it is hard to believe that a show that started out with so much success can be ending after only four seasons. I must admit, however, that I am glad that the producers are pulling the plug before the show goes completely downhill. At least it will be remembered for the cultural phenomena that it was.
The cause of this quick ending is more than likely the drop in ratings that the OC has experienced over the past couple of years. This season, it averages around 4 million viewers, a huge drop for the initial 9 million people that tuned in every week.
I think the show’s executive producer said it best when he said, “For a certain audience, at a certain time, The OC has meant something.” I know for me personally, the OC will be something I remember when reminiscing about my high school and early college days, and I’m sure I’ll be adding the DVD’s to my collection sometime soon.
