The first time that I watched The OC (Newport Beach in french) I was like Oh it's so boring ans I turn off the tv and then I watched The OC in english and I fell in love with the story and the characters. This is one of the best tv program that I saw

I had only gotten into the OC last week. At first, I thought it was just another boring show on slow weeknights. After watching the first disk, I was absolutely hooked. The characters are amazing, the episodes are fantastic, and the overall concept of the show is unforgettable. I love California and large houses, but to put someone from a small house into a large one set atop a hill overlooking the ocean is great. Buy this DVD! You can't go wrong with it!

The O.C. is more than just another teen drama about the rich and famous of Orange County. The show takes place in the wealthy New Port Beach, but characters such as Seth, Ryan, Marissa and Summer are far from being the average spoiled sons and daughters of wealthy parents from gated communities.

Seth, Ryan, Marrissa and Summer's characters are funny and lovable. Compared to all of the other teen soaps on the air, The O.C. is the most realistic and the most relatable. After watching the first episode of season one, I instantly felt like I knew these characters and that I had known them for years. It's a show for teens and their parents since the show and characters are so diverse and are always running into new and different problems either at home, or at school. It's one of those shows that everyone can relate to, even if you're a jock, prep, nerd, whatever! Each episode gives something that everyone has experienced before, or knows someone who has. The O.C. tells real stories that everyone has lived through or can understand. This show never gets old! No matter how many times I watch it, it always feels like it's the first time, and like I'm getting something different from each episode.

The O.C. will be the perfect thing to add to your DVD collection. It provides great entertainment every time you watch it, and will never get old. So even if you're a little hesitant, give this show a try! Why not open up your mind to something different, funny and exciting? You will not be able to stop watching once you've stopped, so pick up this great series already!

I own this season of the OC and i honestly watch at least one episode a day. BUY IT!

The first and best season of "The O.C." is a must-have for fans. The story of the delinquent who finds himself living in wealthy Newport Beach is as tasty as a big box of fine chocolates. Watch Chino bad boy Ryan (Benjamin Mackenzie) as he is rescued from jail by his attorney, Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) and becomes part of his family. Wife Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) isn't sure she wants the brooding boy near her son Seth (Adam Brody), who is the quintessential comic book geek. And then there are the girls: Moody Marissa (Mischa Barton), Seth's secret crush Summer (Rachel Bilson), and spunky Theresa from Chino. Marissa's troubled parents and Kirsten's parents have their share of drama, too. It's simply the best season of the show, with the most memorable one-liners. Who can forget Summer's first "Ewww!" or Luke's "welcome" to Ryan.

Teens enjoy the show's music and fashions, while people over 20 consider it a guilty pleasure; it certainly is deliciously decadent, romantic, funny, shocking, and, of course, luxuriantly beautiful. The secret lives of the fabulously rich Newpsies contrast nicely with the outsider's two-fisted approach to life, until he realizes they're not so different after all. Season One has all the angst of high school junior year, as well as the social and financial machinations of the middle-agers. The action all revolves around Ryan, sensitively played by Mackenzie, and the loving Cohen family, with the wonderful Peter Gallagher anchoring it all as the kindly and wise dad. Creator Josh Schwartz has made fascinating characters and an addictive story line. Extras are few; there are no bloopers or commentary, but it's still a terrific DVD set that will satisfy your craving for all things O.C.

When my friend first sat me down in front of her TV and played the pilot episode of The OC, I was skeptical. I knew the basic premise of the show, and several of my friends enjoyed it, but I'd never really had an interest in watching.

By the end of the pilot, I was hooked. Two episodes later, I didn't think I'd survive without finding out what happened next.

The show's basic plotline is that of a soap, but with witty and realistic characters even in the middle of their party lifestyle. Although the familial and romantic relationships are often very similar to that of the typical soap - confusing and some completely out-of-the-blue, with many relationships only justifiable by the fact that Ryan isn't actually related to any of these people by blood - you still find yourself rooting for the characters, cheering at their triumphs and moaning at their failings.

The show has its dark sides as well, dealing with such things as drinking and drug abuse, divorce, the disparities between rich and poor, teen pregnancy, and other issues. It's definitely PG-13 for most of the series. Overall, however, it's worth a try for any teen, and maybe some adults too.

For someone who had almost given up television altogether, The O.C. was the evil equivalent to a delicious chocolate cake during a diet, tempting me and eventually sucking me right back in. As a twenty-something year old, I have a lot of fun watching the other twenty-something year olds play high schoolers, balanced off with more scandals that go on with the adults.

Much wittier, funnier and enticing than 90210, Felicity, Dawson's Creek or any of those shows that it gets compared to. And with a much cuter cast too. I've already gotten so many of my friends hooked!!!

I don't care what people have to say about this show, I love this show, and I think other people in this world shoud give it a chance. Go out and get it, it's worth it, I mean I have and I think it's awsome. My favourte thing about this show is the girls. Also I can't wait to get season 2 on DVD (which comes out in August of 2005). Get that one as well.

The O.C. has done well for itself. Although this DVD does not have any decent special features (there are a few bloopers etc.) the show more then makes up for it. All the episodes are included and its perfect for any teenager.

i loved this it's every oc fans dream, now i dont have to wait to watch the oc once a week i can get my oc fix anytime. worth every cent everyone should own the oc on dvd's!!!!!
