Summary: one word: oliver.
Comment: Now let me start off by saying that I love this show, I really do. I even own all of the DVDs. (Yes, including this season) But I didn't always think so highly of this show, and this season is the reason why.
I started watching The OC mid-season one, largely due to my sister because she was the original OC fan in the house. And unfortunately the first episodes that I ever set my eyes on were the Oliver episodes. So now you may understand why I immediately stopped watching it, and nearly gave it up for a lost cause (until I watched it towards the end of season 2. Trey made me a fan again)
There are also a few other problems with this season. Summer is highly unlikeable, as she is nothing more than an annoying bimbo. (I love her in the later seasons though) The whole summer-seth-anna love triangle is utterly annoying and so predictable, as you already know that Seth was going to choose Summer all along, even when he was dating Anna. Ryan does nothing but get into fights with people. I mean you would think that after a while Sandy and Kirsten would realize that they really shouldn't have anymore fancy parties because they would only result in ryan fighting.
But there are also a few good episodes in this season that do make it worth watching. Such as the pilot and the few episodes afterward as you see Ryan, the boy from the broken home, finally find a loving home. And the best one of all is the one where they go to Mexico and Marissa tries to commit suicide. Mischas acting was superb in that one.
To wrap things up, ill just have to say that while this is the worse season of the 4 in my opinion, I would still recommend that you watch it (don't say I didn't warn you about Oliver though!) but if you do watch this one, just be sure that you watch the remaining seasons as well, that way you'll get to see what the show is really made of

Summary: Welcome Back to The O.C.
Comment: Let me start off by saying that this show is and will always be amazing. It's a classic and I garauntee will be remembered years and years from now. The first season is amazing, like no other TV show. The plots are so interesting and great. The pilot? Best episode that really gets you in the mood for the show. Ever start a show and watch the pilot, thinking, it will hopefully get better? But you won't be thinking "hopefully it gets better" because they don't get any better than this.
The characters, in my opinion, are the most likeable out of any TV show. With the four main ones, Ryan, Marissa, Seth and Summer, I can't say I don't like one of them. They are all unique, and I think Marissa is the best. She creates drama for the show, really good looking, and believable for teens in this generation. It really is a shame for how her fate turned out, which probably everyone knows what happens to her, but I won't say more. Let's just say I'm devastated TO this day.
Maybe that's why this show is so good. Even after it gets cancelled and you don't watch it for a while, the characters stay with you, the tragic events stay with you and they don't leave. It's an unforgettable show.
However, after the first season the show started to decrease in its quality. Seasons 2-3 are all amazing, don't get me wrong, but the first season just has that feeling. I don't know what it is. Mostly the feeling of them being rich, living in a wealthy community, ongoing parties and debutantes, the characters being fresh...everything.
The first season is the best in my opinion. But if you haven't seen this show and start from this season (which you should), you'll never stop. It's that good.
There will never be a show like The O.C.

Summary: Addictive
Comment: The OC. Season One
The highly addictive series which takes place in the wealthy neighborhood of New Port, CA. Ryan Atwood, living a life of crime in Chino, is given a chance to start a new life when the Cohen family welcomes him to New Port as an adopted son. His arrival sparks a handful of high school drama, plot twists and outrageous situations. This season will have you on the edge your seat and waiting for the next epidsode. No question, it's the "The Highschool Soap Opera" for teens. Great acting, deep story, endless drama. A perfect watch for people of all ages.
This DVD set is recommended so that you can watch episode after episode commercial free, rather than waiting a week for the next show. Very long season, with 7 discs containing 4 episodes each, that is 21 hours of footage, definetly your money's worth. Not many bonus features though, so don't expect deleted scenes and extras.

Summary: Excellent, just don't buy here.
Comment: First of all, wow. I'm almost done with the first season and I bought this like a day ago. It's that addicting. But if you have a wallmart near by, you can pick up each season for $19.88. do it.
