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. Mike H 23:22, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

It's usually "Behind the Orange curtain".  :) RickK 23:24, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

Wouldn't have expected anything less. :-) Mike H 23:24, Aug 28, 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I dispute that- We've been calling it "OC" my entire life. BuddhaInABucket

I added some season 2 plots...as I'm a newbie here, please correct me if I misformatted anything or the like. Also, feel free to add anything I missed.

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!

About the link to 'Michael Cassidy' as the actor who plays Zach. Is he really a Canadian politician?

I rather doubt it, as that Michael Cassidy is 68 years old. --Saforrest 17:40, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

"Welcome to the dark side"

I just watched the first episode for the first time and it's definitely Ryan, not Seth, who says this line. I didn't just swap the names in the article because it seems like there might be some further editing necessary. Someone care to take care of it?

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.

Paragraph on "Jewish controversy"

I really question this information. TV shows have feautred Jewish-Christian marriages for a very long time - at least since Bridget Loves Bernie 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. Moncrief 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.

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...

He was shot through the right side of the chest so it would not have hit his heart, it's definately possible to survive a bullet wound in that area of the body. I'm not really sure what your message has to do with Judaism in the OC but there's your answer. --Iscariot 17:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

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. RoToRa 14:03, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I just wanted to clear up that this is because tv.com has merged with the cnet affiliation and now uses the same layout as gamespot.com its much easier to go through now and easier to maintain your own personal profile === Razorwave 1:11am Feb 7 2006

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? --Kevin 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 Countries and Channels The O.C. is aired in, 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.? --Konstantin 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." --Kevin 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? --Konstantin 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. --evesummernight 04:38, 23 September 2005 (UTC) OC GALA

can someone write this?? --Maoririder 21:04, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Character List

Some of you might notice that the character list is a little bit different than it was previous. I removed many of the descriptive words (devious, sexy, overbearing, obnoxious, ruthless, etc.) as they are not Neutral in Point of View. These are obviously words that were included based on the feelings of the poster who wrote the article and by editors that followed. The goal of an encyclopedia isn't to sway an opinion one way or the other, nor is it to provide the reader with information that would provide a prejudiced view of a show or characters in a show. Saying "Sandy's obnoxious and overbearing mother" is not Neutral Point of View. Saying "Sandy's mother, known as the Nana" is Neutral Point of View. I expect that these edits will be reverted as quickly as they were made. At which time i'll post a header about the neutrality of the article being questioned and let a moderator sort it out.
