Oh please. It means that Fox never should have kept "The O.C." in the
slot against "Grey's Anatomy," a much stronger show among the same
young adult female target audience. Of course, everyone here knew that
already.

One would think that unless Fox wants "The O.C." to die, a conspiracy
theory I haven't ruled out.

Wow, and Fox only ordered 16 episodes of The OC. Doesn't look good for
the once-golden child show.
