The impending marriage between Caleb (Alan Dale) and Julie (Melinda Clarke) affects different people in different ways at the O.C. Having been asked to be maid of honor, Caleb's daughter Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) helps organize the wedding shower with Julie's daughter Marissa (Mischa Barton). Angered by recent events, Marissa schemes to spoil the wedding by inviting a most unwelcome guest. And Julie's ex-husband, Jimmy (Tate Donovan), ends up in a ticklish situation with Kirsten's wild sister, Hailey (Amanda Righetti). Elsewhere, Seth (Adam Brody) has an uncomfortable meeting with Summer's (Rachel Bilson) father, and Theresa (Navi Rawat) seems curiously anxious to avoid Ryan (Ben McKenzie). ~ Rovi

2002  
 
The ABC series That Was Then was a less comic variation on the premise of the like-vintage WB sitcom Do Over. James Bulliard starred as Travis Glass, a 29-year-old salesman who was still living with his parents. A perennial loser, Travis would give anything to return to his youth and correct past mistakes; more specifically, he would like to correct the glaring social error which drove his high-school sweetheart Claudia (Kiele Sanchez) into the arms of Travis' obnoxious brother Gregg (Brad Raider). Then on the eve of his 30th birthday, while listening to the Kinks' "Do It Again," Travis was miraculously thrust back to the year 1988 -- thereby getting his chance to use the knowledge and the experience gleaned in adulthood to straighten out the life of his "teenaged" self. Described by co-creators Daniel Cohn and Jeremy Miller as Back to the Future meets The Wonder Years, That Was Then premiered September 27, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
