The O.C. is an American television comedy-drama program that originally aired on FOX in the United States from August 5, 2003, to February 22, 2007, running a total of four seasons. The series, created by Josh Schwartz, details the lives of young adults and their families growing up in affluent Orange County, California.

The O.C. aired in more than 50 countries worldwide. Despite being one of the most popular new dramas of 2003, the series' ratings expanded over its next two seasons, causing FOX to order just 18 episodes for the fourth season. When ratings continued to drop in season four, the network passed on its option to extend the season, and decided not to renew the show for a fifth season. The final episode aired on February 22, 2007.[1] The O.C. went out with ratings similar to the second and third seasons, with 6.7 million viewers turning in.[2] After the series concluded, the fourth and final season became available on iTunes, along with the animated spinoff series "The Atomic County." The entire season of the series is also available on FOX.com's streaming video service.

The O.C. has been noted for its music selections, which have helped some previously little-known bands (such as alternative band Phantom Planet, who performed the theme song to the show, "California") gain exposure, so much so that the show's producers have released five compilation albums featuring highlighted performers.
