It's off...

...like two crooks in an armed-truck. There is no return. You are probably thinking..."what's off?" Well, it's sad. So sad that I'm having difficulty even processing it.

According to the (Jan. 3rd) FOX press release, The OC will have its series finale on February 22nd. Yep. It's over after the eight unwatched episodes hit television airwaves starting tomorrow.

*sob*

"THE O.C. Season Four finale will also be the series finale. This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close, said 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."

*sob*

What makes it worse is that my birthday is two days before the series finale. Talk about the dark cloud looming over my day. *sigh*
