I started watching The O.C. in September. At first I felt like I was backstabbing 90210. Then on another forum a couple of the other members told me it's ok to watch it, I wasn't backstabbing 90210 and other members like the show too. Now I have 3 seasons on DVD and I watch it pretty much every day. The reruns are on MuchMusic. My favoraite characters are Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer (not until near the end of season 1 though). My favoraite couples are Marissa/Ryan and Seth/Summer. So what about you? Who's your favoraite character? Favoraite couple? Discuss.

I agree! At first i felt conflicted cause i thought they were taking a jab at 90210! But then after watching it for awhile realised that its just another teen show and doesnt really relate to 90210 except on that level! My fav character is Summer! and fev couple is Seth and Summer! lol I did however loose interest in the show after awhile perhaps beginnging to mid third season! (especially with marissa!) and after she died the show got good again! but it was just alot diff to how it originally was and was glad when it ended! It was a great show when it was on though!

I actually am one of the few people out there who loved season four For me, it went back to having the same light hearted feeling season one did, and season two and three did not. I was a big Ryan Marissa fan, but felt they just couldn't get it together. But I LOVED Ryan and Taylor together, and wish the show had maybe had one more season for them. That said, Seth and Summer... best ending ever! Oh, and don't et me wrong, LOVED Marissa, bawled buckets when she died, but she was just causing too much drama toward the end...

I agree with you guys. And yeah, it's not really like 90210 at all. I mean, yes there are some simularities like most of them are rich, there's a brooding bad boy (but IMO Dylan is way more bad than Ryan and he has more issues than Ryan too), a few same storylines (love triangles, overdosing on pills (Kelly- diet pills, Marissa- painkillers). There are a couple others but I won't list them. I actually liked season 4 too! I was VERY sad that Marissa died and was no longer on the show since she was my fave character, but I don't know I guess I just liked season 4.

My favorite characters are Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer. My favorite couples are Marissa & Ryan and Seth & Summer. I also liked Season 4 even though Marissa died and she was my fave character.

I did like season 4 too... and have to agree with Kylie that i was a big Ryan and Taylor fan... they had such cutesy chemistry! lol And i absolutely loved the ending with Seth and Summer! I thought it was great that she went away and did her thing and matured on her own but she still loved Seth and they still got together after all that time apart! I cried soooo hard and loved the montage at the end... SOOOOooooo well put together! lol

Sorry to anyone who disagrees, but I can't sit through S4.
The show isn't the same show for me without The Fantastic Four. Ryan/Marissa and Seth/Summer is the way it should have stayed.

I agree. Season 4 wasn't the same without Marissa. I can watch it, but it just isn't the same without Marissa.

When I first started watchin the OC I thought there is no way this will ever be as good as 90210 but then I actually ended up liking it. Seth and Summer are my favorite couple of the show. I LOVE Julie Cooper she is freakin hilarious. I wish that Marissa would of hooked up with Johnny the surfer because he was hot! I actually love season 4! After season 1 it's my favorite. Yes season 4 is different from the other 3 but in a good way I think. I love Ryan and Taylor together.

yea i was all physched up when the started running promos for the oc, they were sayin if u loved 90210 u goona love this.
i never watched the first 3 shows but then ended up gettin into it n lovin it, but i dont really compare it to 90210 at all.. like yea i get the whole teen show thing but they were just so different in so many ways.
i agree when marissa left i put a downer on the show.. but i still loved it till the end. I wish they coulda ended it a little bit better, i loved it and all n still cry when i see the ending but there was something missing....?

I agree, they left Ryan's storyline very open ended, which I guess was the right thing to do, so everyone could think it ended how they wanted it to.
I like to think he ended up with Taylor.

On another note, on a recent re-watch of the OC, one of the biggest things I love about this show is the Cohens (including Ryan in there) and their whole relationship. I just love how Ryan is apart of their family!
