'The O.C.' Star Sentenced to Three Years of Probation

April 16, 2008

the ocMischa Barton, who soared to stardom as Marissa Cooper on The O.C., pleaded no contest to drunken driving charges and was sentenced to three years of unsupervised probation in a Beverly Hills courtroom last Thursday.

As a result of the plea deal, Barton's jail time was spared and the marijuana possession charge was dropped, while the charge of driving without a license was reduced to an infraction.

15 Hottest TV Dads: #7 - Sandy Cohen, The O.C.

March 13, 2008

Peter Gallagher, The O.C.<<PREVIOUS          NEXT>>

One of the coolest dads ever on TV, The O.C.'s Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) was an aging hippie, a free spirit who wanted to use his law degree to help the underdog. This pursuit didn't curtail his other passions, surfing and singing, both of which make him instantly hotter than most boring dads who wouldn't know Kelly Slater from Sleater Kinney. Yes, his eyebrows could use a tweeze (or a weed wacker), but we'd still gladly try to steal a car if it meant we could live in his pool house and enjoy a breakfast bagel with a good schmear.

'The OC's' Mischa Barton Arrested for DUI

December 27, 2007

Mischa Barton, actress and former star of The OC, was arrested for DUI, possession of narcotics and driving without a valid license early this morning.  The actress was pulled over somewhere in West Hollywood early on Thursday morning and may still be in custody, awaiting $10,000 in bail to be posted.  Since Barton's departure from The OC, she has garnered a lot of negative attention for her hard-partying ways.  There have been numerous paparazzi pictures of Barton looking blatantly intoxicated in public, as well as rumors of drug use.  Barton's booking photo that you see here is from this morning's arrest and it's nice to see a mug shot that's not completely disgusting.  Mischa Barton is no Nick Nolte. 

Alternative Holiday Face-Off - Festivus vs. Chrismukkah

December 26, 2007

The holiday season is different for everyone. What you and your family celebrates might have a long tradition, or might have no tradition, or maybe it's ever evolving.  The correlation between religious beliefs and holiday rituals has become more and more blurred as commercialization has permeated the holiday landscape.  Mostly, there is a lot of gift-giving, a lot of shopping, office parties, excess drinking, and time with the family (sometimes needed, sometimes unwanted).  On television, there are two brave TV shows that have chosen to buck the conventional rituals and traditions of Christmas and the schmaltzy “holiday episodes” that every single eighties sitcom aired once a year.  On The OC, Seth Cohen gave us Chrismukkah and on Seinfeld, Frank Costanza brought us Festivus.  Today, once and for all, we look to answer the question that has plagued our society for roughly five years: Which is the better TV holiday – Festivus or Chrismukkah?

December 24, 2007

Autumn ReeserCheck out all our lists for BuddyTV's Top 7 of '07 to relive the best and the worst of the year in television.


The de facto replacement for Mischa Barton on the fourth and final season of The O.C., Autumn Reeser's Taylor Townsend became a fan favorite, a character who was immediately more interesting and fun to watch than Marissa Cooper ever was.
