The O.C., which FOX just cancelled, might have been saved by The CW next season, but the new network decided against it.

CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff spoke about the decision at the Television Critics Association press tour, according to Entertainment Weekly:

Ostroff also confirmed rumors that the network discussed picking up The O.C., but ultimately rejected the notion. I expect nothing less from the network that killed Everwood.

EW’s Tim Stack has a point in bringing up the network’s track record. After all, they opted for bringing 7th Heaven back from the dead over carrying over such a unique show as Everwood.

Ryan, Marissa, Seth, and Summer will wrap up The O.C. at the end of this season, FOX announced today:

This just in from Fox: “The sun will set for the last time on The O.C. when the series ends its four-season run Thursday, Feb. 22, at 9 pm/ET.” All-new episodes will air from the series’ Jan. 4 return through its forever finale.

Another show bites the dust, right after running out of ideas.
