In honor of election day and the series-low ratings for the fourth Season Premiere of The O.C. last Thursday, I am imploring with all of you once and future OC-fans to check out the show this week as you get two, count 'em two, chances to catch up with Ryan, Seth, Summer, Marissa, err, Taylor and the rest of the gang.

Due to the anemic ratings coniciding with a surprise surge in quality, Fox will be airing The O.C. two new eps this week: Wednesday at 9 PM and Thursday at 9 PM. Sure it's up against formidable competition, but it's still more than worth checking out. FOR REALZ!
