			Hello fellow Wikipedians,
	I don't know if Ryan fell in love with Marissa. Of course it'd be easier to tell if they stayed together for more than a day.

	Thanks for that clarification. From all accounts I've heard, next to no one called it "OC" or "The O.C." It was a name that was basically made up for the show. ] 23:22, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

	Quick change -- the part of Caleb's right-hand man Shaun was played by an actor named Richard Herd (he played George's boss Mr. Wilhelm on Seinfeld). It wasn't Karl Malden, but the confusion is understandable given the fact that Richard Herd bears an uncanny resemblance to Karl Malden!

	Actually, they both say "Welcome to the dark side". Seth says it as they enter the fashion show, thinking that the cocktails and superficiality is the dark side; Ryan says it as they enter the party.

	I really question this information. TV shows have feautred Jewish-Christian marriages for a very long time - at least since '']'' in the early 1970s. Which Jewish groups have criticized this show? When? Also, this article makes it seem as if Jewish groups are criticizing the show because a non-Jewish actor is playing a Jew. Huh? This has also been going on for a very long time. I'd like to see some evidence of this "controversy," please. ] 16:52, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

	Thank you, Tony Sidaway, for taking it out again. It's such a silly thing - a few people on blogs complaining about it signals a "controversy" - but I was trying to find consensus by at least moderating the langauge. I'm glad someone else is watching it, and understands that at the very last it requires a citation or two. Most Jews have much more on their minds than a FOX television show whose worst offense is showing a couple who are intermarried - something that reflects reality since intermarriage has been very common in the U.S. for decades (though it's true Orthodox Jews don't like it) and has been portrayed on television for decades as well. ] 02:45, May 22, 2005 (UTC)

	Does anyone actually believe Trey lived? I mean, he did get shot straigh through the chest, and it looked to me like they were trying to clearly show he was killed...

	==Link to TV (Tome)==
	Since I don't want to start a revert war: Any specific reason the link to TV.com was reverted? TV Tome no longer exists and accually redirects to the new link. ] 14:03, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

	== Around the world ==

	I question whether the "Around the World" section is actually required. It's getting very long and no other articles about TV shows seem to have it.

	Would anyone object if I removed it? --] 10:49, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

	Why should it be a problem that it is getting very long? If it doesn't look good to have such a long list in this article, you could always create a ], or something similar. Wouldn't it be interesting for a reader of this article to see that it quite a popular show around the world, and just not in the U.S.? --] 13:36, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

	It's too trivial a thing to deserve an article of its own. To show the popularity of it something like "As of August 2005, The O.C. is syndicated by {x} networks in {y} countries." --] 22:37, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

	== Runtime ==

	How to count how long the show runs? I remember after seeing the first season DVD, that each episode is slightly less than 42 minutes long. Should the credits be counted to the shows runtime? --] 13:38, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

	==Charlotte==

	I'm personally against the lesbian comment. Refer to edits previous to this post to find. There's no real evidence of lesbianism in her character, just some shady overtones.
