TV Show Profile Thursday: One Tree Hill

and
Sophia Bush as Brooke Davis

I've been a huge fan since the beginning of the show, I've gotten a lot of my family members (and friends) hooked on this show as well, and I would love to get more people to love this show. If you love soapy dramas, like 90210 or Gossip Girl, you'll love this show! Honestly, I don't think this show gets talked about enough. It started the same year as The O.C, but all you ever heard was The O.C this, and The O.C that. What show is still going and what show got canceled after only 4 seasons? Even with The O.C. gone, it still doesn't get much attention. I wish that were different, though.

One Tree Hill is the story of two boys, Lucas and Nathan. These two boys are also half-brothers but they can't stand each other. Their father left Lucas' mother when she was pregnant to go off to college on a basketball scholarship, only to meet Nathan's mother and get her pregnant as well. He decided to stay with Nathan's mother, and also decided he wanted nothing to do with Lucas or his mother. The two grow up on two totally different sides of the tracks but they have one thing in common. They both love basketball, and end up having to work together, when Lucas is chosen for their high school's basketball team. A basketball team that Nathan is the start player of.

Not only do these to boys have to deal with the trials and tribulations that come in to play on the basketball court, and with their father, they have problems that any normal teenage boy has. Girl problems! This is where Haley, Peyton, and Brooke come into play.

If your someone in high school or out of high school, you can relate to these storylines. Sometimes they are shocking and sometimes they are really sad and heartfelt. But it's a show that once you start watching it, you can't stop until your caught up. And with 6 seasons, there is a lot to watch.

One Tree Hill over the years

Season One

This is where we meet Lucas, Nathan, Peyton, Haley, and Brooke.

Lucas: He is kind of the outsider. He's good at basketball but is only stuck playing on the River Court. He grew up fatherless, with only his mother and uncle to take care of him.

Nathan: He is the basketball star for the Tree Hill Ravens, because his father pushed him his whole life to be the best and only the best. He grew up with everything he's ever wanted.

Peyton: She is a lover of music and an artist. She lost her mother at an early age and her father is always gone for work. She is also the girlfriend of Nathan but Lucas' crush.

Haley: She is the smartest in her class and she uses that to her advantage by tutoring at school. She has also Lucas' best friend since they were little kids.

Brooke: She is beautiful, popular, the captain of the cheer squad, and a party girl. But deep down she is so much more. She has also been Peyton's best friend since they were little kids.

Season one focus' on the group's first half of junior year. Not only is the rivarly between Lucas and Nathan the main story this season, there is also blossoming relationships (and breakups), love triangles (and quadrangles), and of course basketball.

Season Two

As the second half of junior year begins, season two brings in several new characters, so of course there are new relationships (and of course, breakups.) There is also struggles that are very serious to real life and shocking stories, that you wont see coming.

Season Three and Four

Its senior year for the kids of Tree Hill High, during seasons three and four, and that brings more drama, especially when a new girl shows up at school. But it doesn't end there! These two season are probably the most shocking, with more and more things you wont see coming. And of course, there is graduation.

Season Five and Six

High school will be done and over with for 4 years, as seasons five and six start. There are struggles as everyone becomes who they want to be in life, as they drift apart for awhile, but all end up in the same place again. But of course, there is still drama, as if they were still all back in high school.

Season seven starts on September 14, 2009, at 8 P.M, on the CW, right before Gossip Girl.
So make sure that you catch up before then!

Other characters

Karen Roe: Lucas' single mother, who owns her own cafe

Dan Scott: Lucas and Nathan's father, who is nothing more than evil and manipulative

Keith Scott: Lucas and Nathan's uncle, who helped take care of Lucas his whole life

Deb Scott: Nathan's mother

Mouth and Skills: The "River Court guys" and Lucas' other best friends

Brian "Whitey" Durham: The Raven's basketball coach

The storylines aren't the only thing great about this show. Not only does this show feature hot guys (and girls), every episode is full of great music, like Gavin Degraw and Fall Out Boy. The music is one of the things I love about this show. It's gotten me into a lot of music I never imagined myself getting into. Not only is there great music, but every title of each episode is named after a song. Not only is the titles of episodes name after a song, but so is the title of the show. One Tree Hill is also a song by U2!
