Breaking O.C. News...

This just in from Fox: "The sun will set for the last time on The O.C. when the series ends its four-season run Thursday, Feb. 22, at 9 pm/ET." All-new episodes will air from the series' Jan. 4 return through its forever finale.

"This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close,” series creator Josh Schwartz said in a statement. “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 on top [creatively]. 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."

All I can say is Wow! I was an avid watcher of The O.C. until this season. As much as I hated to admit it, it just wasn't the same without Marisa and since it was up against some stiff competition, namely Grey's Anatomy and CSI, it really didn't stand a chance. At the times that I have tuned in over the past few weeks, I've been disappointed. I don't like what they did to Summer's character and I was truly disgusted by Ryan's hookup with Taylor. I guess I just missed the sizzle and tension between Ryan and Marisa. Honestly, The O.C. suffered from the "college curse." The same thing happened when Saved By the Bell and Beverly Hills 90210 tried to keep things going past the high school years. It just wasn't the same. R.I.P. to The O.C.
