As reported yesterday here at Blog Town, one of my fave TV guilty pleasures, The O.C. has been cancelled, and its final episode will air February 22. While many sites have been reminiscing about this ground-breaking series, here’s one of my favorite quotes from Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, who—arguably—owes much of their success to this show. From Idolator“¦

“My God, I can’t believe it’s over,” says Death Cab For Cutie singer Ben Gibbard, whose band was referenced on the show an average of twelve times per episode. “I look forward to never, ever being asked about that show again. We’d been around for six years by the time that thing came on! It’s not like they invented us.”

Gibbard paused before adding, “Seriously, though, I knew they were in trouble when they introduced Alex in season two.”

OH, C’MON BEN! Are you freaking kidding me? Alex—the hottest lesbian in the universe—practically saved that show. The problem is, and always has been, that goddamn drip MARISSA who was a fucking DOWNER. They should have let her tongue-kiss Alex, and then immediately KILLED HER.
PUH-LEEEEEZE!!

Drip”¦ drip”¦ drip. TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
