It’s official …. after months of speculation, Fox Network finally decided to shut down our favorite TV show “THE O.C.” next month.
The series finale will be on Thursday, Feb. 22 at 9pm. Fox plans to promote the remaining shows by doing a “countdown” to the finale.
“This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close,” said “The OC” creator and exec producer Josh Schwartz. “For a certain audience, at a certain time, ‘The OC’ has meant something. For that we are grateful.”
Numerous media outlets have been talking about much an impact The O.C. has on our society and to Orange County in general:
“The county’s “OC” nickname didn’t even come into vogue until after the TV show debuted. At one point, a county official even seriously suggested renaming John Wayne Airport “the OC Airport.”
At its height in season one in 2003/2004, “The OC” averaged 9.8 million viewers and a 4.4 rating/11 share in the adults 18-49 demo. So far this season, the show has posted a 1.7/4 in the demo and 3.8 million viewers overall.
Will “The O.C.” be moving to CW network with other shows that were cancelled from similar networks?
We will miss The O.C., keep watching reruns and hope that the real “O.C.” of MTV’s “Laguna Beach” doesn’t get cancelled too.

I don’t understand why FOX has their petition up to keep the show alive. That tells me that their is hope. We have been trying to spread the word that their is hope and there really is no need for it to end. 3.8 million viewers can’t be wrong!

Mom & Girls, Huge O.C. Fans // February 9, 2007 at 7:10 am |
We watch this show religiously, as a family. I am just torn up that it is ending. We have talked about it, laughed through it, cried with it…What will we have now? We don’t get all worked up over any other show. I am too grown up to act like my teenagers, but who was the one crying tonight as we watched the preview for next week? Me. They could of let it go the rest of the season at least. Maybe a new show…Ryan, Taylor and a few others go to Berkeley Univ. and live in a huge house in Marin County. They could then start a whole new show called…The M.C.!
