Unemployment, Here We Come: The O.C. Axed

Teen drama The O.C. has officially been axed, with the final episode set to air February 22nd on Fox in the US. Assuming Network Ten continue to air the episodes without hiatus, the finale will screen in Australia on February 27th.
The OC Season 4 Cast*

The show has been cancelled due to poor ratings, which are only half what the show gained in its debut year. The OCs first season was one that resonated with audiences; the combination of lovable characters, meta humour and prominent indie music were greatly successful, despite the often melodramatic plotlines. However, in seasons 2 and 3 the show lost its way, moving away from the original premise and frequently conducting brutal acts of character assassination.

Season 4 is seen by many to be a marked improvement on the two seasons that preceded it - possibly due to the removal the show's proverbial cement shoes, Marissa Cooper. Still, despite the programme returning to its roots, it is probably better that it departs now on a relatively high note. After all, it has already contained several contenders for Jump the Shark moments - graduation, deaths, and several new characters. The writers seem to have used up every conceivable storyline by now. I really don't want to see Ryan don the waterskis, with Death Cab for Cutie playing in the background, while Seth meta-comments that he wouldn't have done this last year.

Farewell to The OC, bitch.

I'm not sorry to see the show axed. I watched it sporadically in seasons 1 & 2, but couldn't watch season 3 at all........except the finale. I definitely wanted to see Marissa die (we won't think about what that says about me....).

I tried to watch an episode of season 4, but when I realised that Caitlin was just Marissa version 2.0, I switched it straight off.

I loved Seth though. He was great.

KylieW: I tuned in simply to see the demise of MarissaBot as well, so you're not alone in that regard. I stopped watching when Seth went from lovable to irritating.
