It’s remarkable how often people still discuss The O.C. even though it originally aired more than a decade ago. The Fox series first appeared on television on August 5th, 2003—that was nineteen years back. Happy *The O.C.* Day! I really miss that show. This drama left its mark on popular culture, and something many may not realize is that it almost turned out to be a completely different program. From the Cohens’ surname to some of the actors considered for roles, here are a few details about what went on behind the scenes of *The O.C.*! I recently started watching again one of those shows that meant a lot to me when I was younger—*The O.C.*, haha. It's interesting to see what still feels relevant, and truthfully, quite a bit does. Even more so now, as an adult. The show is essentially about adults, if you think about it. One of the things I appreciated from watching *The O.C.* was discovering tons of amazing music and being introduced to many artists who became personal favorites. Here’s a Rooney song that's perfect for a day like today—a rainy-day kind of vibe. So, with that in mind, here is your #JamOfTheDay
