THE O.C.'s Pop Culture Domination Year 2000 Fix

    • Society & Culture

California: Here We Come! THE O.C. – the primetime soap opera created by Josh Schwartz about a troubled kid from Chino, adopted by a wealthy Newport Beach family – aired for only four seasons (2003-2007) on FOX. Yet, in practically no time, the TV-viewing public latched on and made THE O.C. an inescapable pop culture property.

Jordan is joined by Ariel, an OG O.C. fan from back when the show originally aired. Together, they cover THE O.C.’s popularity, the show’s immediate influence on the 2000’s TV landscape, the show’s commentary on 2000’s politics, and its genius integration of music in its episodes.

COMING VERY SOON - A bonus episode where Jordan and Ariel cover THE O.C.’s unforgettable TV moments. A must-listen for super-fans!
