Everyone talks about Gossip Girl but The O.C. was hands down the best show of our childhood. Here are 11 reasons why Newport Beach was your favorite place.
1. The Harbor School
They had a cappuccino bar in the middle of their lounge. Every after school activity imaginable. (I mean synchronized swimming?!?) It set my idea of high school way too high. Nothing will ever live up.
2. The fashion
Chanel, Dior, and the classic early 2000s Juicy Couture tracksuits. You wanted Marisa Cooper's closet and you idolized Summer Robbert's style. There was nothing that symbolized the early 2000s trends better than The O.C.
3. Those houses
4. Ryan Atwood
He was the rugged Knight in Shinning Armor that lives in your dreams come to life. He was always there for Marisa and deep down had a good heart, just a hard life kept people from seeing it.
5. Seth Cohen
In complete contrast to the rugged Ryan, we have geeky, nerdy Seth. Who's sarcasm was only matched by his father.
6. Sandy Cohen
Speaking of Sandy Cohen, who didn't want him as a dad? He had the snakiest comments for all the O.C's crazy things. Plus his love for Kristin was greater than any other.
7. Chrismukkah
8. The relationships
9. The friendships
10. The family drama.
The Coopers made you love your family and the Cohens made you want to be in their family.
11. Finally, the music.
So let me let Luke tell it best:
