'The OC' turns 15! A look back to the time when the iconic show was teen TV at its best
Rachel Bilson reminded us that 15 years have elapsed since the time 'The OC' first premiered, but the truth is, we think about the show more often than not
On August 6, Rachel Bilson reminded us that 15 years have elapsed since the time 'The OC' first premiered on our tv sets. Not that the reminder was necessary, we remember 'The OC' almost everytime we think about the 2000s, teen dramas, music or even the most influential show in history. 'The OC' paved the way for today's teen dramas by simply understanding a story from a youngster's point of view rather than 50-something producers narrating how a teenager should be or feel. Maybe this is one of the reasons why so many teenagers related to it and loved the show. For a TV series that ran for only four seasons, 'The OC' is an epitome of the coming-of-age teen drama, unlike anything witnessed before. The legacy has lived and hence, I pen this.
