The O.C. trivia works because four seasons in Newport Beach packed in couples, comebacks, indie soundtracks and catchphrases that fans still quote. Questions can cover Ryan and Marissa, Seth and Summer, the Cohens and the wealthy families around them.

A strong The O.C. quiz can include Ryan Atwood and Ben McKenzie, Seth Cohen and Adam Brody, Marissa Cooper and Mischa Barton, Summer Roberts and Rachel Bilson, Sandy and Kirsten Cohen, Julie Cooper and the Cooper-Nichol families, Chrismukkah and the Bait Shop, Anna, Alex, Johnny, Taylor Townsend and Kaitlin Cooper, Luke, Oliver, Trey, Volchok and Theresa, Newport Union and Harbor School, the comic book Atomic County and Captain Oats, plus the music that made the show a soundtrack phenomenon. It works because fans who watched every season know exactly which couple, fight and needle-drop belonged to which year.
