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

Product Description
OC-COMPLETE 1ST SEASON (DVD/7 DISC/27 EPISODES/ENG
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

 The OC tv shows March 12, 2010
James R. Fox (Placerville, Ca.)
I ordered this 2st season for my wife and kids, as a teaser. I should have known better. Now I have ordered, 1 by 1, season 2 ans 3, and season 4 is next week. They must be good, even though I don't watch them.
 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

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.
