The OC has officially been cancelled. Press reports largely attribute it to Mischa.

Rules

1. DO NOT bash Marissa's role in any pairing if you are going to bash one of her pairings; the rants need to stay rooted in the other character's behavior.

2. Criticism of statements in the press and acting of her co-stars is allowed. Complaints about the treatment of her by superiors as well as statements in the press is allowed. Don't escalate it to personal bashing.

3. DO NOT personally bash anyone close to Mischa.

4. Don't attack each other. This is not a debate thread.

5. Do not talk about O.C spoilers here; Mischa is no longer on the show. If her character gets brought up in the context of an episode, that's fine, but as spoilers are a sensitive subject, keep them off of this thread. If you want to talk OC spoilers, use spoiler text in the OT thread the same way we do with other shows we talk about.

6. Do not insult specific fanbases. Do not bring over word for word quotes if you're going to insult what's being said. You can only quote someone if you're agreeing with them.

7. Stay on topic. If you want to bring up a real life topic that does not concern Mischa, take it to OT.

8. This should go without saying, but DO NOT insult Mischa and DO NOT insult her fans.

***The talk about Josh Schwartz is getting excessive. No threats of violence, even in a joking manner, and no bringing his personal life or making sexually inappropriate jokes. Please keep it to his professional behavior. Or unprofessional, more accurately.

The mods are watching anti and rant threads closely. STAY AWAY FROM PERSONAL BASHING. This includes other FF members and boards as well as anyone Mischa is connected with.

We are proud to be on

Heh. That sucks.

"The O.C." posted a 2.5/4

[Cristofle]

I love that VM has done better on occasion, lol.

O.C. is O.V.A.H.

"It’s inspired a real-life spin-off series and launched the careers of Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody, but The O.C. is finally coming to an end. The show’s been cancelled due to falling ratings in the U.S. following the departure of Mischa Barton. The show will see out its current season, with the final show airing Stateside on February 22nd. The show’s creator, Josh Schwartz, said the show’s served its purpose. “It has been an amazing experience and a great run. For a certain audience, at a certain time, The O.C. has meant something. For that we are grateful.” Oh well, there’s always the re-runs!"

Someone's missinggggggg....

*sigh* embracing the news*

[CreekFreak]

Heee. From Marc Berman. The ratings went doooooown. Hee.

Fourth at 9 p.m. was Fox’s just axed The O.C. (Viewers: 3.94 million; A18-49: 1.7/ 4),

[Cristofle]

Ouch, lol.

And he also had this to say about the cancellation:

"I think it was time for The O.C. to go. I honestly don't recall an established series sinking so fast. Killing Mischa Barton off was the nail in its coffin."

[~Melissa~]

LMAOOO. Less than 4 million and the 18-49 demo sucks so much. I love it!

[CreekFreak]

This is what happens when you air Ryan episodes. Newsflash: NO ONE CARES ABOUT RYAN. SORRY. BOOOOORING.

And this was up a GA REPEAT. If people wanted to watch The OC, they would. BUT THEY DON'T. Heh.

[Cristofle]

Also, anyone who ever regularly watched the show knows Ryan was abused as a child. That preview was offensive; they made the whole plotline into a joke. No, I'm never letting this go. LOL.

[True Daisy lover]

Okay.. just quit seriously (oh wait they already did that)

[CreekFreak]

That preview was horrific and the episode was a complete joke. Let's have a heart to heart with a CHILD ABUSER!
