A major theme of the first season is the culture shock Ryan feels as he adjusts from a life of <a href="/wiki/Domestic_abuse" class="mw-redirect" title="Domestic abuse">domestic abuse</a> and poverty to living in a superficial high-class society. He quickly befriends and bonds with Seth Cohen, and begins to have a romantic relationship with Marissa Cooper. Although coming from very different backgrounds, Ryan soon discovers that he deals with similar issues to his new peers, such as self-identity conflict and familial alienation. The relationship between Ryan and Marissa flourishes when he supports her through her parents' divorce. As the show progresses, Ryan takes a very protective role over Marissa, showing Ryan to be a much more stable, controlled person than originally portrayed. Other storylines include Seth's development from a friendless loner to having two romantic options in Summer and Anna, as well as the arrivals of Oliver Trask, a troubled teen who befriends Marissa during their coinciding therapy sessions, and Theresa Diaz, Ryan's close friend and former love interest from his hometown of Chino. Meanwhile, Sandy Cohen frequently comes into conflict with Caleb Nichol, Kirsten's father and a wealthy industrialist who is said to "basically own Newport." The <a href="/wiki/The_O.C._season_2" title="The O.C. season 2">second season</a> of The O.C. continues to follow the tumultuous romantic relationships between Ryan and Marissa, Seth and Summer, and Sandy and Kirsten. Josh Schwartz, the show's creator, stated that in the second season, the show would "no longer be about Ryan's past; now it's going to be about Ryan's future," and that this season would "slow down the storytelling a little bit ... and evolve the characters."<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> For example, the story closely follows Ryan in his advanced physics class, where tension is created between him and another student, Lindsay, who presumes that Ryan will be useless as a lab partner, who thus prevents him from contributing to the work that must be submitted. Ryan's character begins to grow when he stands up to Lindsay and convinces her to allow him to contribute, forcing them to work together to complete the assignment. They later become involved romantically, creating extreme complications and relational shifts amongst the now "Cooper-Nichol" family. The Bait Shop becomes a prominent social destination for the teenage characters. A number of <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._characters#Recurring_characters" title="List of The O.C. characters">recurring characters</a> are introduced, such as D.J., Lindsay Gardner, Zach Stevens, and <a href="/wiki/Alex_Kelly_(The_O.C.)" title="Alex Kelly (The O.C.)">Alex Kelly</a>, with whom the main characters form a variety of relationships. Ryan's brother, Trey Atwood, gets out of jail and threatens to bring Ryan's old life into his new one. Sandy and Kirsten also face new conflicts after drifting apart during the summer. The second season ends with Marissa shooting Trey after Ryan confronts him for attempting to sexually assault Marissa. The <a href="/wiki/The_O.C._season_3" title="The O.C. season 3">third season</a> creates many dynamic changes with regards to relationships and power within the characters' society. Firstly, Marissa is expelled from the Harbor School. The Cooper family, left with little money, is forced to move into a trailer park. Julie Cooper-Nichol, once one of the richest women in all of Newport, struggles to put food on the table for her daughters. Marissa's life begins to spiral out of control, as she struggles with alcohol and drug abuse, as well as dealing with the loss of her close friend Johnny. Similarly, Kirsten confronts her alcohol addiction and eventually leaves rehab, only to encounter more problems when she begins business with a con artist. The other characters look towards college, with Seth and Summer competing for a spot at <a href="/wiki/Brown_University" title="Brown University">Brown University</a>. Sandy's moral compass becomes imperiled when he takes over Caleb's old position as head of The Newport Group, pursuing a project to establish more <a href="/wiki/Low-income_housing" class="mw-redirect" title="Low-income housing">low-income housing</a> in Newport. Ryan also attempts to resolve his individual relationships with his mother, and with his childhood friend Theresa Diaz. He also pursues the idea of a post-secondary education, with encouragement from both Sandy and Kirsten to visit Berkeley. However, Ryan's life is quickly put on hold when, in the season 3 finale, Ryan decides to drive Marissa to the airport, and they are run off the road by Kevin Volchok, Marissa's most recent love affair gone wrong. In the last few minutes of the episode, Ryan pulls Marissa out from the burning car, only to watch her die in his arms. The <a href="/wiki/The_O.C._season_4" title="The O.C. season 4">fourth and final season</a> begins five months after Marissa's death in the car accident. Ryan starts the season in isolation as a broken, grieving man, seeking revenge on Volchok. With the help of Julie, both she and Ryan are able to track Volchok down in Mexico, and turn him in to federal officials. The continued love of the Cohen family and the company of the eccentric Taylor Townsend guide him back to the light. Meanwhile, Seth and Summer face the problems of a long-distance relationship as Summer leaves to attend college. The first half of the season focuses on the characters accepting the reality of Marissa's death. The second half focuses on the characters "finding themselves" while facing myriad identity crises. This final season contains multiple surprises, such as a new addition to the Cohen family, a visit to an alternate universe in which Sandy becomes mayor, and a natural disaster that leaves Newport devastated. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Episodes">Episodes</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_O.C.&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Episodes">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._episodes" title="List of The O.C. episodes">List of The O.C. episodes</a></div> <div style="display:block;overflow-x:auto"><table class="wikitable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center;height:1px;display:table"><tbody><tr style="text-align:center"><th scope="col" rowspan="2" style="min-width:50px;padding:0 8px">Season</th><th scope="col" rowspan="2" colspan="2" style="padding:0 8px">Episodes</th><th scope="colgroup" colspan="2">Originally aired</th><th scope="col" rowspan="2" style="padding:0 8px">U.S. viewers (in millions)</th></tr><tr><th scope="col">First aired</th><th scope="col">Last aired</th></tr><tr style="height:100%"><th scope="row" colspan="1" style="height:inherit;padding:0"><a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._episodes#Season_1_(2003–04)" title="List of The O.C. episodes">1</a></th><td colspan="2">27</td><td colspan="1" style="padding:0.2em 0.4em">August 5, 2003 (2003-08-05)</td><td style="padding:0 8px">May 5, 2004 (2004-05-05)</td><td>9.48</td></tr><tr style="height:100%"><th scope="row" colspan="1" style="height:inherit;padding:0"><a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._episodes#Season_2_(2004–05)" title="List of The O.C. episodes">2</a></th><td colspan="2">24</td><td colspan="1" style="padding:0.2em 0.4em">November 4, 2004 (2004-11-04)</td><td style="padding:0 8px">May 19, 2005 (2005-05-19)</td><td>7.44</td></tr><tr style="height:100%"><th scope="row" colspan="1" style="height:inherit;padding:0"><a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._episodes#Season_3_(2005–06)" title="List of The O.C. episodes">3</a></th><td colspan="2">25</td><td colspan="1" style="padding:0.2em 0.4em">September 8, 2005 (2005-09-08)</td><td style="padding:0 8px">May 18, 2006 (2006-05-18)</td><td>5.83</td></tr><tr style="height:100%"><th scope="row" colspan="1" style="height:inherit;padding:0"><a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._episodes#Season_4_(2006–07)" title="List of The O.C. episodes">4</a></th><td colspan="2">16</td><td colspan="1" style="padding:0.2em 0.4em">November 2, 2006 (2006-11-02)</td><td style="padding:0 8px">February 22, 2007 (2007-02-22)</td><td>3.96</td></tr></tbody></table></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast_and_characters">Cast and characters</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_O.C.&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Cast and characters">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._characters" title="List of The O.C. characters">List of The O.C. characters</a></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_O.C._cast_(season_1).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9b/The_O.C._cast_%28season_1%29.jpg/240px-The_O.C._cast_%28season_1%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="240" height="297" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9b/The_O.C._cast_%28season_1%29.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="284" data-file-height="351" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/The_O.C._season_1" title="The O.C. season 1">Season 1</a> cast of The O.C.

He is the husband of Kirsten, the father of Seth Cohen, and the legal guardian of Ryan. Although he lives in an upper-class community, his politics are left-leaning and open-minded, causing friction between himself and the community.

Ryan slowly finds his place within the new, materialistic society, and makes of the most of his situation by not only completing high school, but also continuing on to university. Casting director Patrick Rush found the role of Ryan particularly hard to cast and only invited McKenzie to an audition after Fox had made them aware of the young actor after his unsuccessful audition for a <a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a> sitcom.<a href="#cite_note-Production-10">[10]</a> Rush said, "When Benjamin [McKenzie] came in, he wasn't physically what Josh had envisioned, but he inhabited the character unlike anyone we had seen.

Luke is initially the main antagonist of the series, coining the series' famous "Welcome to the O.C., bitch!" line during a fight with Ryan in the premiere episode. However, he later becomes the main "comic punching bag" for the other characters.<a href="#cite_note-Sepinwall,_Alan-13">[13]</a> Schwartz characterized the later Luke as "strumming a guitar being a goofball."<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Luke leaves Newport Beach to live with his father in Portland at the end of the first season.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Tate_Donovan" title="Tate Donovan">Tate Donovan</a> as <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Cooper_(The_O.C.)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jimmy Cooper (The O.C.)">Jimmy Cooper</a> (seasons 1–2; recurring season 3; special guest star season 4), Marissa and Kaitlin's father (and Julie's ex-husband).

One interviewer characterized Jimmy as a "lovable deadbeat dad."<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Josh Schwartz has referred to the character as a "cat" in DVD commentaries. The character is portrayed as flighty and perpetually in financial debt despite warm relationships with his daughters.

At the beginning of the show she is married to financial planner <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Cooper_(The_O.C.)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jimmy Cooper (The O.C.)">Jimmy Cooper</a>. She is often characterized as being devious, selfish, and shallow. However, she reveals a more vulnerable and empathetic part of herself a number of times during the series. Clarke summarized her character as being "clearly just such a money-digging whore. To me, it's so funny now to see <a href="/wiki/The_Real_Housewives_of_Orange_County" title="The Real Housewives of Orange County">The Real Housewives of Orange County</a> because you realize it exists and that's what Julie was. Julie was obviously the original housewife." Clarke went on to commend the character's "incredible arc", saying that Julie started as "this woman who was so superficial but, of course, she's not just one-dimensional, she's multi-dimensional.

Bilson's character was originally supposed to appear in only a few episodes, but quickly became popular amongst viewers, and ended up being part of the main cast for the rest of the series. When Summer's parents divorced, her mother abandoned the family and she has had no contact with her since. Her stepmother, nicknamed the "step-monster", is a lazy woman with a suggested drug problem. Summer has been referred to as a "seemingly snotty, superficial rich girl who is revealed to have hidden depth when she warms to the charms of nerdy Seth."<a href="#cite_note-Sepinwall,_Alan-13">[13]</a> She is the daughter of <a href="/wiki/Dr._Neil_Roberts" class="mw-redirect" title="Dr. Neil Roberts">Dr. Neil Roberts</a>.

The <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Tribune" title="Chicago Tribune">Chicago Tribune</a> characterized Caleb as a "gruff, uncompromising Newport Beach, California, real-estate developer". When asked by the Tribune about the character, Dale said, "The thing that's lovely about this character is that there's so much to do with him.

Reeser's performance was critically acclaimed. She reflected back on the character during a 2010 interview, saying, "I feel like there's a lot of girls out there who could really relate to her, who hadn't seen themselves on TV in that way. I loved that about her. I loved that she made no apologies for who she was even though she wasn't what all the magazines said was OK. She was like, "I'm still valid. And I'm awesome.

The daughter of Jimmy and Julie and sister to Marissa, her personality is more similar to her mother's rather than her father's, and she is portrayed as a regular pot smoker and occasional dealer. Holland observed that "no one can control her" but that her arc in the fourth season finds the character maturing.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> When asked about any disappointment over the recast, Woodley responded, "I was 11 and I was on as a guest, recurring character, or whatever. My character went to boarding school and when they decided to bring her back, they actually re-auditioned me to bring her back.

The house is based on two homes located in Malibu, California. The exterior shots of the front of the home and the driveway were filmed from a home on Ocean Breeze Drive in Malibu, California, built in 2002. This was filmed multiple times and used continuously for all four seasons. The interior, backyard, and infinity pool were filmed for the pilot episode in another home down the street also in Malibu. The pool house was built for the pilot episode. After the show got picked up to reduce production costs the interior, backyard, and pool house was rebuilt at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach, CA. During some early episodes in the second season, the Cohens were doing some extensive remodeling; this was probably written in because the new set did not accurately recreate the original home in Malibu. The kitchen countertop changed from a dark grey granite to a light beige marble countertop. The sink in the island countertop switches to the other side and the backsplash tile changes. During the pilot episode Ryan walked out of the pool house to look at the ocean view. Past the property line there were houses, streets, cars, and land between the house and the ocean. After the set was created, there was just an ocean and sky backdrop as if the house were sitting on a cliff; also artificial grass and studio lighting looked less realistic than in the pilot episode. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Music">Music</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_O.C.&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Music">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Music_on_The_O.C." title="Music on The O.C.">Music on The O.C.</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TheOC-BaitShop.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/TheOC-BaitShop.jpg/220px-TheOC-BaitShop.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/TheOC-BaitShop.jpg/330px-TheOC-BaitShop.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/TheOC-BaitShop.jpg/440px-TheOC-BaitShop.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>The Bait Shop, which was the fictional concert venue that staged performances in the second and third season</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/Alexandra_Patsavas" title="Alexandra Patsavas">Alexandra Patsavas</a>, who had previously worked on shows including <a href="/wiki/Roswell_(TV_series)" title="Roswell (TV series)">Roswell</a> and <a href="/wiki/Carniv%C3%A0le" title="Carnivàle">Carnivàle</a>, was appointed as <a href="/wiki/Music_supervisor" title="Music supervisor">music supervisor</a> on The O.C..<a href="#cite_note-Portfolio-61">[61]</a> Patsavas worked alongside creator <a href="/wiki/Josh_Schwartz" title="Josh Schwartz">Josh Schwartz</a>, in selecting the music to be used.

As a way to merge the two religions, Seth claims to have "created <a href="/wiki/Chrismukkah" title="Chrismukkah">Chrismukkah</a>" when he was six years old. The series included annual Chrismukkah episodes for every season of its run. Particulars of when exactly the holiday was celebrated were not given; Seth simply said in the first season's Chrismukkah episode that it was "eight days of presents, followed by one day of many presents." Chrismukkah later received mention in the television series <a href="/wiki/Grey%27s_Anatomy" title="Grey's Anatomy">Grey's Anatomy</a>. In December 2011 the pop-culture website <a href="/wiki/The_A.V._Club" title="The A.V. Club">The A.V. Club</a> reviewed all four Chrismukkah episodes for its "TV Club Advent Calendar." The writer noted, "When thinking back on holiday specials of yore for this project, the first thing that popped into my head wasn't nostalgia for my Rankin/Bass- and Chuck Jones-filled youth. Instead, I immediately focused on a much more recent obsession: Chrismukkah. Created by The O.C.'s Seth Cohen ...." The reviewer continued, saying that "A thread of underlying sadness unites all four Chrismukkah episodes, but it's a sadness that begs to be redeemed by the end of the hour. Chrismukkah is really about traditional Christmas togetherness and your standard happy ending; it's the everyday miracle of people coming together to create something magical."<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Meta-fictional_humor">Meta-fictional humor</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_O.C.&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Meta-fictional humor">edit</a>]</div> Several episodes feature a fictional show-within-the-show called The Valley, an in-show equivalent to The O.C. <a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> The Valley, like The O.C., has a fictional reality TV counterpart, <a href="/wiki/Sherman_Oaks" class="mw-redirect" title="Sherman Oaks">Sherman Oaks</a>: The Real Valley, which causes Seth to ask, "Why watch the plight of fictional characters when you can watch real people in contrived situations?" The second season also focuses on the creation of a fictional comic book called Atomic County, written by Seth Cohen, that is used for similar self-deprecating purposes. The Valley and Atomic County are used throughout the series to comment on aspects of the show itself, such as message board criticism of the show's reliance on love triangles, the trope of mid-twenties actors portraying teenagers, and the inability of the series to be renewed for another season. In addition, several of the characters talk as if they are aware that they are in a television series. One episode in the second season finds Seth commenting that "we tried some new things," but that "last year was just better," echoing response from fans that the second season was inferior to the first. <a href="/wiki/USA_Today" title="USA Today">USA Today</a> remarked that The O.C.'s "undertone of sarcasm and self-parody' was one of the aspects of the series that made it compelling. Writer Ken Barnes opined that The O.C. took "meta-TV" to its "sublime peak" with The Valley. He continued, saying that the "device allowed producers and writers to have fun mocking critical and public perceptions of The OC, its supposed soap-operatic excesses and pop-culture obsessions.<a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> In a book written by <a href="/wiki/Alan_Sepinwall" title="Alan Sepinwall">Alan Sepinwall</a> that examined the series, Sepinwall noted that "Schwartz spends enough of his day trolling message boards to know exactly what fans are complaining about and which references to other shows and movies they've caught, and he incorporates it into his scripts." An entire chapter of the book is devoted to perceived self-mockery within the series, with much attention given to the episode "The L.A." from Season One. Producer <a href="/wiki/Allan_Heinberg" title="Allan Heinberg">Allan Heinberg</a> said that many instances of meta-commentary had to be cut if the network or Schwartz felt they had gone too far, saying that "Sandy at one point had a speech about the <a href="/wiki/Golden_Globes" class="mw-redirect" title="Golden Globes">Golden Globes</a> that we felt was maybe a little inside."<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> Schwartz similarly declined a request to have The O.C. actors portray themselves on <a href="/wiki/Arrested_Development_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="Arrested Development (TV series)">Arrested Development</a>, another FOX show set in Orange County.<a href="#cite_note-gopalan20130805-39">[39]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Broadcast_and_distribution">Broadcast and distribution</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_O.C.&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Broadcast and distribution">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="First_run_broadcast">First run broadcast</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_O.C.&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: First run broadcast">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_The_O.C._episodes" title="List of The O.C. episodes">List of The O.C. episodes</a></div> The first season premiered at 9:00 p.m. (<a href="/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone" title="Eastern Time Zone">EDT</a>) on August 5, 2003, on Fox, and was <a href="/wiki/Simulcast" title="Simulcast">simulcast</a> in Canada on <a href="/wiki/CTV_Television_Network" title="CTV Television Network">CTV</a>.<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a><a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> The original, English-language version of the show also aired in other continents.
