It’s been over 10 years since The O.C. aired it’s first episode and people are still talking about it. On August 5th, 2003 The OC first premiered on tv. That was 19 years ago. Happy The OC day! Miss this show.

The Fox drama has had quite the cultural impact and what many people don’t know is that it could have been a very different show. From the Cohen’s name to the stars who were almost cast, here are a few behind the scenes secrets about The O.C.!

I've been revisiting some of a sitcom that was very impactful to my teenaged and young adult years, LOL: it's The O.C. ❤ It's neat to see what still resonates and I have to be honest: a lot does. Even more now, actually, as an adult. The show is all about adults, really. Anyway, one of the gains I got from #TheOC was a plethora of incredible music and an introduction to so many artists that would become my personal favourites. This is a Rooney song that's fun for rainy-day vibes - like today. So, with that said, here's your #JamOfTheDay
