From 7am to 1pm, SoapNet is airing “romance and Valentine-themed episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 and One Tree Hill.”
The TV listings tell me they’re also airing a Valentine’s Day episode of The O.C. at 6am. Not sure why they’re not promoting it as part of the marathon.
Please note this is the normal Sunday schedule for each show–1 episode of The O.C., 4 episodes of BH90210 and then 2 of OTH–just with specific episodes chosen.
WEDNESDAY: Beverly Hills 90210
THURSDAY: Dawson’s Creek
TODAY: The O.C.
1. Episode 1.19, The Heartbreak
I remember watching this episode when it originally aired (which actually was few days after V-Day) and being so POed and disappointed that Ryan wasn’t just ready and willing to get back with Marissa after the Oliver debacle. I remember my mom explaining to my 16-and-a-half-year-old self that Ryan’s trust and faith had been betrayed and that’s not an easy thing to get over. But lucky for me I’m a sucker for episodes where someone is broken-hearted. And lucky for us we get some comic relief when Seth and Summer’s romance finally comes to climax (no pun intended, I swear!). At the end, he sweeps her off her feet and it feels like we’re swept off ours, too.
Unlike the Chrismukkah episodes, where all four eps are must-mentions, I can’t say the same for the show’s take on Valentine’s Day. The V-Day episodes in seasons 2 and 3 are mediocre and the holiday doesn’t even get a mention in season 4. (See correction in comments.)
And thus we move on tomorrow to One Tree Hill, where it gets even more disappointing…
