's creator who based the school and characters on his alma mater, The Wheeler School, in Rhode Island, used a "trojan horse" strategy to get FOX's attention. He was a fan of quirky character-driven shows like Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and My So-Called Life, but those shows had short runs and FOX was "looking for their next 90210".

Schwartz recalls that they hoped the characters were "a little bit funnier and more soulful, different, and specific than the kinds you usually see in (the) genre. "[2] In an interview, Schwartz stated, "I think, maybe from the early ads, people thought they were going to get a kind of melodrama. Melodrama refers to theatre in which music is used to increase the spectator's emotional response or to suggest character types What we've done instead is something a little bit different, something that has a little bit more irony and a little bit more self-awareness and maybe is a little more successful because of that. "[3]

Adam Brody originally auditioned for the part of Ryan Atwood, but did not bother learning the script and just ad-libbed the whole audition.

According to The Futon Critic, "for its seven-week summer [of 2003] run, The O. C. averaged 8. 43 million viewers and increased its viewership by more than 17% from its premiere by the end of the summer. "[19] However, its viewership numbers from the summer were not factored into their 2003-2004 season average because it aired before the start of the 2003-2004 U. S. television season.

The FOX soap's audience perked up, starting from February 2004, when it started airing directly after episodes of the third season of American Idol. February 2004 was the second month of 2004 in the Gregorian calendar. American Idol, with the full title American Idol The Search for a Superstar for the first season only is an American reality-competition An example of this was when the show earned a series high of 12. 7 million viewers for the episode, The Rivals. "The Rivals" is the 17th episode of the FOX Television series, The O

The FOX network gave the show a vote of confidence when it moved The O. C. to Thursdays at 8:00 during the fall of 2004 to boost Thursday night ratings. The move resulted in some small success by improving the 8:00-9:00 (Eastern & Pacific time) timeslot, yet the network was unable to find a program in the 9:00-10:00 (Eastern & Pacific time) time slot to hold on to The O. C. 's audience.

The show's overall audience declined sharply in its third season. An example of this decline was shown when it attracted 7. 36 million viewers[20] for the March 9, 2006 episode, which aired after a special Thursday night results show during the fifth season of American Idol. Events 590 - Bahram Chobin is crowned as king Barham VI of Persia. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Although these numbers were a small improvement of its third season average, it retained just 28% of Idol's audience,[21] which is well below the rate earned by most programs that air following hit shows and especially well below its post-Idol retention rate in the spring of 2004.

The fourth season of The O. C. faced stiff competition in the form of Grey's Anatomy and CSI on Thursdays at 9:00. Grey’s Anatomy is an American Primetime television medical drama. CSI Crime Scene Investigation is an American crime drama Television series that trails the investigations of a team of Las Vegas To boost ratings, FOX network launched a "Save The O. C. " webpage, containing a petition to be signed by viewers who wanted to keep the show alive.

Despite The O. C. continuing to suffer from decreased ratings in its fourth season, critics reacted positively to the quality of the show, noting that it managed to become "fresh" and closer to the quality of the first season of The O. C. Schwartz had admitted being more involved in the writing during the fourth season. Many fans, however, criticized the show after writing off the popular character Marissa Cooper, and some fans cite that as the reason for the ratings drop during season four. Marissa Cooper is a Fictional character from the FOX television network series The O

"Save the O. C. " webpage

Towards the end of 2006, FOX inserted a webpage on their website entitled Save The OC, asking people to sign an OC loyalty oath.
