The O.C.: The Countdown, 2003
The second you see the words The O.C. written down, the theme song of the show comes rushing to mind. A truly iconic early 2000s TV show about the Orange County elite, this show made every preteen and teenager want to be just like Marissa Cooper and Ryan Atwood.

And what would such an iconic show do without an iconic New Year’s Eve episode? By this point in the season, Marissa has befriended this out-of-towner, Oliver, who is seriously up to no good. But before Oliver could even think of planting one on Marisa for New Year’s Eve, Ryan rushes through the door, and the couple have a truly romantic moment.
