The O.C.," the once-hot teenage soap opera that saw its ratings plummet like a delinquent student's grades, has been canceled. The final episode of the drama will air 9 p.m. EST Thursday, Feb. 22. While this news will. . . well not be news to anybody besides my big black gangster roommate who is crying on the floor. Besides him(hey seriously get off the floor) this will come as great news to America as fox can now start paying Keifer Sutherland a decent wage.(come on 40 million thats it?)

So for those of you who care (guy screaming why god! next to me) take comfort in the fact that series creator Josh Schwartz said the finale will be "really satisfying." Which means cheer up Ryan is finally going to get killed and the Cohens will finally fall into the inter era sex affairs that are ever so prevalent on the now setting sun of Orange County.
