I absolutely loved that show! It’s one of those that I’m afraid to watch again because I might not like it as much and it will ruin my fond feelings associated with it. I was a freshman in college when it came out. We used to have OC nights where our friends would come over for dinner and to watch the OC. My grandparents also loved that show. I was so shocked to learn that! It’s still one of my most favorite memories of my grandfather. He watched the news, war documentaries, and The OC on DVD. They liked to binge whole seasons because they couldn’t stand waiting a week to find out what happened next.
