The O.C.: Is Anyone Still Watching?

So, next week's season premiere of The O.C. is now available online.  The question is, does anyone plan to watch it?  Last season was...well, uneven would be a nice way to put it, I think, and the whole Southern California thing has really been usurped by Laguna Beach.  I admit, I no longer TiVo this show, thanks to Grey's Anatomy moving into the Thursday 9 PM slot, but I think I'll probably program the old VCR to record at least the first 2 or 3 episodes.  Rachel Bilson is always worth watching, and Peter Gallagher, owner of the Greatest Eyebrows in Television, is also a favorite of mine.  This is your last chance, Cohen!

The library owns copies of many shows on DVD.  A small selection of what we have:

Best of Jimmy Fallon (SNL) (actually, we have the full SNL Best-Of series)

Grey's Anatomy Season 1, Season 2 Uncut, and the first soundtrack. The second volume of the soundtrack is on order.

Veronica Mars Season 1, Season 2, and the soundtrack.

Battlestar Galactica Season 1, Season 2.0, and Season 2.5

Family Guy Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3

For the nostalgiac, we have The Ren & Stimpy Show Seasons 1 and 2, Season 3 and a half-ish, and Season 5 and some more of 4

And for fans of British humor, there's multiple seasons of Blackadder, the complete Fawlty Towers, The Office, and the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy (among others).

Don't see your favorite listed?  Search the DVD collection!  If we don't have what you want, you can request it using our Wish List form (it says "Interlibrary Loan Request", but trust me: it's both a Wish List and an ILL request form).

So, what's your favorite show this season? List them in the comments.
