I spend the entire first part of each week getting excited about The O.C. on Thursday nights, and I spend Fridays and the following weekends recovering from the latest drama presented during the weekly episode. People know not to call or try to make plans with me on Thursday nights. People know not to speak or breathe loudly when The O.C. is airing, at the risk of losing an eye or a finger. You might say I have a slight obsession with The O.C.
FOX JUST CANCELLED MY SHOW.
They might as well have cancelled the joy right out of my life.
I know The O.C. is a stupid teenage drama. I know that the target audience is substantially younger than my twenty-two years, and that I am less of a person for loving something so shallow and lame. I know that the show totally jumped the shark this season. I don’t care. I love my show; I’ve laughed through it, I’ve cried through it, I’ve obsessed over it, I’ve scheduled college classes around it to avoid missing a moment. And now the last episode ever is set to air on February 22nd, 2007.
This is the worst day of my life.
I feel the same exact way as you! There are rumors that the CW might pick it up though, so let’s not give up hope yet!
I never got caught up in the show, but it sounds like it’ll join so many shows gone before their time: Brimstone, Now and Again, Firefly, Dead Like Me, etc…
