Trivia
In one of the first season episodes ("The Proposal"), the main characters are watching an unnamed "chick-flick". According to "The O.C." website, the movie was "The Triplets of Bellville", but a closer examination will show that the credits are not from the movie at all. Instead, the credits being run in the theater in the background are just shout-outs to crew members (i.e. Susan Godfrey).

Goofs
Summer decides to stay at Marissa's house while Marissa meets Ryan for lunch. Summer gets Seth to help her remodel Marissa's room as a surprise. Later on when the room is supposed to be in the process of being remodeled Marissa and Ryan are hanging out downstairs at Marissa's house. They were supposed to be at the diner having lunch.

Quotes
Summer: And we looked through all your toys and we couldn't find any plastic horses but we did find this.
Marissa: Share Bear? Wow!
Seth: She'll watch over you with her Care Bear Stare.
Ryan Atwood: How'd you know about the Care Bear Stare?
Seth: I painted that.
