With Micha Barton killed off so she can spend more time with hanger-on Cisco Adler and Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson not even dating in real life anymore, there's barely any reason to talk about The O.C. anymore. Thankfully, come February, we won't have to: Fox has canceled the show.

After four seasons of serial brooding and class warfare, it's time to say goodbye to the show that initially caught the attention of spoiled American teens. And poor American teens.

“This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close,” says Josh Schwartz, creator and executive producer of The O.C. “Thanks to the hard work of our cast, crew and writers, we have enjoyed our best season yet, and what better time to go out than creatively on top. It has been an amazing experience and a great run. For a certain audience, at a certain time, The O.C. has meant something. For that, we are grateful."

Truth be told, Josh Schwartz is right: It's been a banner year for Peter Gallagher's eyebrows, and there's only so much character development you can suss out from 'em.
