Can't wait until November when "The O.C."
returns to get that endless summer feeling??
Not to worry. Fox
has two hour-long, behind-the-scenes specials scheduled for September
to tide the "O.C." faithful over until the show's return
Nov. 4.
The first "The O.C.:
Obsess Completely" arrives Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. to be followed
by "Welcome to The O.C.: A Day in the Life" Sept. 23.
Don't expect any answers
to cliffhanger questions, though. There'll be "never-before-seen
moments" and bloopers from the first season, cast interviews
and maybe a peek at what's to come.
Preston Beckman, Fox's executive
vice president of strategic program planning and research, told
the Daily News the specials are a way "to heat up the time
period" Thursday nights at 8 - where "The O.C."
will try to fill the void left by NBC's now-departed "Friends."
The specials are also part of a promise Fox made
to the show's creator and executive producer Josh Schwartz to give
him and the show a rest.
"We really rode him to give us 27 original episodes last
year," Beckman said.
