Say Goodbye to the O.C., Bitch

The story ends where it began, with a troubled teen getting a break from a guy who knows how life-altering a helping hand can be. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.
The OC ended tonight, after a four-year run that saw the hit series go from being the most talked-about program on the air to being one of the least-watched. It had its peaks (Sandy Cohen's dalliance) and it's valleys (one word: Oliver), but tonight's episode tied it all together with the kind of expensive, festive, anxiety-ridden bow we'd come to love unwrapping every week.
We won't spoil it for you TiVo junkies out there, but basically life seems to go happily ever after for the Cohens, et al. There are new babies, new college graduates, and new/old homes. And architect Ryan even finds a wayward youth to take home like a stray dog.
In honor of the of The OC's last dance, here is Usmgazine.com's look at the best of times and the worst of times in Newport Beach:
Good Times:
Caleb Nichol's illegitimate daughter: This was a plot point that threw everyone into an in-bred frenzy. Was Ryan schtupping his kinda-sorta sister? Could Kirsten forgive Caleb? Could Julie Cooper?
Marissa's Death: Finally Ryan and the rest of the crew could move on with their held-captive-by-the-self-destructive-succubus lives.
The Birth of Chrismukkah: A cute and funny cultural juggernaut, Chrismukkah spawned a whole new way of looking at the mixed-marriage kookiness of the holiday season.
Bad Times:
Caleb Nichol's death: He was a prick, to be sure, but Caleb was one of the best TV villain dads we've ever known. Watching his cold, heartless emotional absence gave us a little pang of childhood nostalgia.
Marissa's death: Sure she had it coming. But she is. Plus, we thought The OC had learned its lesson about tossing off principles after shipping Luke to Oregon.
The continuation of Chrismukkah: Sometimes a joke is only funny the first time you hear it. After that... well, after that it's four years later and you're marrying Summer and your mom's giving birth in someone's kitchen and the only prayer you have left is that you and your Death Cab-loving posse will end up on Nick at Nite.

I loved The O.C. I started watching the 2nd season and I was totally hooked on it. I never missed a single episode of it since then. I was sad when Marissa died cuz she and Ryan totally belonged together. I was totally psyched to see that Seth and Summer finally got married. Yay!! I can't wait to buy all 4 seasons on DVD.

You don't understand Fox's thinking? This was the best decision the network ever made! They were losing tons of money by choosing to continue to air it! It was good the first season and maybe the first half of the second season...but after that, I think I'd rather do ANYTHING IN THE WORLD instead of waste an hour of my valuable time watching this crappy show.

I can't believe they took the show off. It was one of the only family shows you could watch and enjoy. Reality shows are taking over and most of them suck. Hopefully another network would pick up OC. The show is just to good to take off. I don't understand Fox's thinking. I absolutley loved this show. It really saddens me that it is gone.

Too bad it had to end, story line was getting kooky, but have been a fan since day one. I will miss it! Loved Adam Brody's sarcasm from time to time, I think I will miss that the most!

This was the worst episode, the worst end to a series (that was actually really great at times) since "Rosanne"

I will admit that I cried a little after it ended. I guess I'm one of the few people out there who will really miss the show. Then I had a dream that I hooked up with Ryan Atwood. Which was nice.

This was the best show since Beverly Hills, 90210. I will truly miss The O.C. I love Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson. I hope that they all go on to have a outstanding career. The show got better & better each season espically with out Marissa/Mischa Barton. I loved Ryan & Taylor together. I love you always The O.C & I will miss you every thursday. R.I.P.

The last episode was a good close. Not cliffhangers-really, No wondering "did seth and summer stick it out", the cooper girls stuck together and cutey Ryan made it in the big world. I assume he and Taylor still together from their looks at the wedding. I will miss it. The show -sad to say- has only improved since Marissa died. This season and the first were by far the best ones. We will miss it !
