If I wasn't so sure they're going to replace it with something just as bad, (or worse), I'd be happy to hear this.

I'm sorry, not trying to start anything, but some people actully LOVE this show.
But it's your opinion. I loved The OC, but it was time for it to be cancelled.

You can, i hate all teen drama's with a passion, but for some reason i loved the OC...probably because its nothing like most other shows, except for the last season it was like any other teen dramas so i stopped watching.

This show actually started out GREAT!
It was not until they focused on one character with a boatload of "problems" (Misha Barton's Marissa) last year did the show suffer and lose in the ratings. I was very happy when they finally put her out of our collective misery and killed the skank off. This season was actually quite good without all her b.s. and unfortunately, Fox put the show up against CSI and Grey's Anatomy! There was no way to win against those two ratings heavyweights. Thanks again to Fox because they have a nasty habit of getting viewers hooked on certain shows only to drop them and never explain why. Fox sucks in that way.
It was a guilty pleasure of mine and my wife's and we are sorry to see it go.
