The O.C. cancelled

All together now, “NOOO!!!”

FOX cancelled The O.C. this week, despite its creative resurgence this season. And I just have to say, “No!”

Not now. Not when the charming Taylor Townsend has stolen the heart of our chiseled hero Ryan. Not when Julie Cooper Nichol Roberts is running a prostitution ring. Not when Seth is on the verge of manhood.

But alas, FOX has spoken, and the Orange County gang is set to join Dawson, Joey, Pacey and Felicity, Ben and Noel as fondly remembered TV characters who defined our generation.

This is tough news for me, Tubers. This season of The O.C. has been top-notch, and frankly, the most enjoyable, since that spoiled, self-centered brat Marissa Cooper is pushing up daisies, instead of stealing screen time from the Cohens and my other faves.

If The O.C. would have been canned last year, when it turned into the Marissa Cooper Hour, I would have been leading the cheers of thanksgiving. But this season has been so spectacular it’s hard to let go. Sniff.

Join me in watching the final few episodes of this beloved show that gave us Chrismakkuh and made wife-beater tank tops cool again.

The O.C. airs on Thursday at 9 p.m. EST.
