For Sandy Cohen, the idealistic public defender who takes Ryan in; his wife Kirsten, the linchpin of O.C. |

Amazon.com It looked like a standard teen soap on the outside, but once you scratched the surface of the glittery, sun-dappled Fox drama The O.C., you'd find underneath a number of surprisingly well-developed characters, fun plots that played around with their soap conventions, and some of the wittiest dialogue this side of an Aaron Sorkin show. The setup was pure high concept: hunky, brooding Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) was a good kid from Chino starting to go bad, and thanks to the interference of his lawyer, Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher), finds himself whisked away from the wrong side of the tracks to the mansions and manicured lawns of Orange County. Soon, Ryan finds himself living in the Cohens' pool house, involved with troubled rich girl Marissa (Mischa Barton), and bristling against the societal confines of his new home, as the people may be richer but they're just as screwed up as anyone else. Still, somehow, he manages to bring out the humanity of the superficial people around him, and they become all the better for knowing him. Okay, enough with the Beverly Hills, 90210 scenario--what The O.C. turned out to be was the most addictive TV soap in recent memory, and one with a brain to boot. Smarter than Melrose Place, sexier than 90210, funnier than Felicity, and not as enamored of itself as Dawson's Creek, The O.C. reveled in clever and hilarious dialogue (the pilot episode earned a WGA nomination) and quirky, eccentric characters. Most noteworthy was breakout star Adam Brody, who as Ryan's geeky newfangled brother-type Seth practically stole the teen heartthrob mantle away from Russell Crowe-lookalike McKenzie. Barton was a bit of a blank as the troubled Marissa, but her best pal, the blissfully superficial Summer, was played by Rachel Bilson as the perfect supporting character in a dizzy farce. And the adults, especially Gallagher and Kelly Rowan as the supportive Cohens, grounded the other half of the show in you know, like, maturity. Not that The O.C. ever forgot the fun that was to be had in TV-land, as most every other episode ended with a fistfight or someone falling into a pool--sometimes both. Here was a soap you could purely enjoy without guilt. --Mark Englehart
Product Description Life in THE O.C. (or Orange County, California as it's better known) attracts the rich and famous to its wealthy homes and shores. The sun glints down on plastic surgery-enhanced models, and that odor visitors can whiff is the sweet smell of money. But a dark heart lies amongst the glamour, with a number of troubled individuals going through a series of life crises. Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie) is one such person--a 16-year-old whose life is strewn with difficulties, he is taken under the not-so-protective wing of the Cohen family. But Sandy (Peter Gallagher) and Kirsten Cohen (Kelly Rowan) have problems of their own to contend with, as does their son, Seth (Adam Brody). The Cooper family are their neighbors, whose troubled daughter, Marissa (Mischa Barton) also provides much of THE O.C.'s action. A huge hit with viewers who love to see how the privileged live their lives, this release contains the entire first season of the show.

Season 1 January 9, 2010 Three Miles Down (Kentucky) I started watching this show to see if it was any good because I was really into Beverly Hills, 90210 at the time. I liked it and it became a guilty pleasure of mine and I like in this season you see a perfect mix of drama and comedy. I also really liked Seth Cohen in this season because his character was a more realistic version of a high schooler. Meaning he was an outcast who was very awkward.
I was very annonyed when I was watching this with all the people that came between Ryan and Marissa's relationship and how nobody believed Ryan about Oliver.
Great condition! November 19, 2009 Kimberly Arens Fast delivery and in great condition just like described. Would def order from them again!
The OC season I November 5, 2009 Spunky (Sugar Land, TX) Great! Arrived very timely and in the condition that was expected by the summary!
Thank you!
Just for fun October 14, 2009 His Hands and Feet (Seattle, WA, USA) This is not a deep, philosophical show. In fact it is rather shallow and indulging, but pleasurable none-the-less. If you enjoy fun, dramatic shows that you can't stop watching then this is perfect. Otherwise, if you don't generally enjoy these types of shows, don't waste your time :)
The special features are nothing that special, but I bought this used and say I got an amazing deal and would have paid regular price for it. Can't wait to watch more.
Excellent September 11, 2009 Joseph M. Bullinger (Maine) I am going to be honest:
I have never watched an episode, though my wife and kids love it. In-fact while I am sending this review, they are watching the 1st season now. They have already watched the 2nd season and felt they needed the 1st so I got it for them right here on Amazon. Great Deal. I maybe missing something. Hmmm.
