The O.C. on FOX

[2003, TV Show]

The O.C.: TV Guide News

183 photos

A slick hit about a troubled L.A. teen taken in by an idealistic lawyer and his family in affluent Orange County. The series filled the youth-soap hole left by the departed '90210,' but quickly proved itself far more gritty---and witty. In addition, early plots set up an appealing balance between the kids and grown-ups, who were portrayed as real people with real problems, instead of sounding boards for the unblemished Romeos and Juliets. From the directors of 'Go' and 'Charlie's Angels.'

The O.C. alumna Rachel Bilson was making the rounds last week to promote the DVD release of Jumper, directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) and starring Hayden Christensen.

Ask Ausiello | 4/2/2008
Q: What is up with the 90210 spin-off rumor? I heard "Meet the Mills" is the name and that none of the original characters are coming back. Why don't they just call it The O.C. 2.0? A: Fenster, you don't hear so good. As far as I know, the show is still untitled, but I'd be very surprised if producers didn't go with? Beverly Hills, 90210. A glance at Rob Thomas' script for the pilot tells me that Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez (the spawn of Andrea and Jesse) now helms the news desk at the "West ... read more
The Latest on Mischa Barton's Gossip Gig | Ausiello Report | 2/29/2008
Their ears didn't deceive them: Those whispers that Gawker.com overheard about Mischa Barton being approached for a part on Gossip Girl, I can now report, are 100 percent true. What isn't 100 percent is whether or not a deal will be struck for her to play the recurring role of Georgina Sparks, a scheme queen who brings Serena's checkered past screaming into her present — although it's looking more unlikely with each passing hour. Shortly after we posted this story, Barton's reps told US... read more

After four seasons and countless fistfights, the soap headed into the sunset, and we take a look back on its juiciest twists.1)"Welcome to the O.C., Bitch!” “Premiere” (August 5, 2003) Luke’s bon mot to new punching-bag-in-town Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) quickly became the signature line of the series. Says Schwartz, “Kids from Orange County say they’re from ‘the O.C.’ like it’s ‘the Ukraine.’ I always found it funny so I gave Luke that... read more

Ask Ausiello | 10/10/2007
There are spoilers out there saying that Chloe's going to get a major scoop for the "Daily Planet" on Smallville. Any hints as to what it might be? I want her to prove herself to the smarmy new editor, so please tell me it's a good one! read more
Ask Matt | 10/8/2007
I'm not even going to attempt to argue with Julie H.'s recent statement that drugs, alcohol and sex play a part in most high school experiences, considering that none of those things had to do with mine (and I'm 23), but I do want to address the somewhat roller-coaster trend of these teen dramas. I personally loved The O.C., so when I heard about Gossip Girl, I thought it would be a comparable replacement. When I watched the premiere, I (and after reading reviews, it seems that I am the only... read more
Episode Recap: "Don't Try This at Home" | Ghost Whisperer | 10/6/2007
Bloody Mary [Spin], bloody Mary [Spin], bloody Mary [Spin]. Did you ever play that game? I did several times at grade-school slumber parties, and here's the secret: the reason "Bloody Mary" pops out at you in the mirror is... you're so dizzy after spinning around three times, you wind up seeing your reflection "behind" you. But do not try this at home!Actually, at the start of the episode, when the first "victim" landed herself in the hospital, I thought, "It's kind of what's supposed to happen... read more
Exclusive: O.C. Babe Returns to Fox! | Ausiello Report | 8/30/2007
Someone over at Fox really likes Amanda Righetti. The onetime O.C. starlet — who followed up her stint in Newport Beach with back-to-back gigs on Fox's North Shore and Reunion — is joining the cast of the net's new drama series K-Ville. She'll be playing the recurring role of A.J., a potential love interest for Cole Hauser. As we'll learn in the Sept. 24 episode, the two characters share a common link. To say more than that would ruin the big twist at the end of the Sept. 17 premiere.... read more
9021-Oh My God! | The Joy of Sets | 8/21/2007
Look, ya'll! I'm blogging!OK, seriously how fun is this? I feel so hipster. And so honored that all four of you have dropped in on my first-ever blog. As for the name, I gotta say that this was a tough one. Not much rhymes with Damian — Bahamian, New Canaan, that's about it — and it was stressed to me that Omen jokes were just too weird. (Although I did like the idea of "Channel 666.") But instead, I stuck with what I wanted to write about: the glee one can find revisiting their... read more

The CW: Network Lite | Roush Dispatch | 5/17/2007
The question that has been keeping no one I know on the edge of their seat: What’s next for the CW, coming off its mostly dismal freshman year, in which the biggest news was made by posting closing notices on shows that had long ago peaked or lost much of their buzz (7th Heaven, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, the latter still apparently having an itty-bitty chance of midseason resurrection). A year in which the closest thing to a new breakout hit that didn’t originate on either the WB... read more
The CW Is Crazy for O.C. Creator's Girl | Today's News: Our Take | 5/9/2007
More pre-upfronts buzz coming from the fifth network: The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz's Gossip Girl pilot seems poised for pickup by the CW, having been approved to begin staffing — typically a solid tell that a show is prime-time bound. Schwartz, the Hollywood Reporter notes, received a similar green light from NBC for the other would-be series he has in play, Chuck. read more
