New One Tree Hill Blog

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to inform you guys of my new One Tree Hill blog. I've been thinking about it for awhile, and here it is. I'm so excited about it!

Right now I have a discussion going about the show without Hilarie Burton or Chad Micheal Murray. I would love to hear your thoughts. So please, go check it out!

The link is http://thegamesthatplayus.wordpress.com. And don't worry! You dont need a wordpress account to leave a comment.

It would mean the world to me if all you One Tree Hill fans check out my new blog. Its not going to be review site, or whatever. Just a site where I can look back on the characters and the best (and worst) moments or the show. I have so many fun ideas, I just need a bigger audience. I want to make this site huge! Please, check it out!

I'll have discussions, fan videos, polls, character profiles (like I do on here for Lost), reviews of the new episodes, top moments, thoughts looking back on previous episodes, so much fun stuff! I can't say this enough, please, check it out!

Again, it would mean the world to me!

TV Show Profile Thursday: One Tree Hill

My first TV show profile will be on my all time favorite TV show, One Tree Hill.

*I tried to write this post with as little spoilers as possible*

Starring:

Chad Micheal Murry as Lucas Scott
James Lafferty as Nathan Scott
Hilary Burton as Peyton Sawyer
Bethany Joy Galeotti as Haley James
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!

Top Five Tuesday

Every Tuesday I'm going to a little thing I call "Top Five Tuesday." I'll countdown my top five in everything related to television.

This week I'll be talking about my top 5 tv shows in the drama category.

# 5

Nip/Tuck

I recently just got into this show. I got my boyfriend into a few shows that I liked to watch so he thought it would be nice if I watched something that he was into. He also thought I would like it since I like Grey's Anatomy and they are both medical dramas. So we started from the beginning and I love it! Although, I'm kinda sad that the show is almost over and I just started watching it.

Gossip Girl

Yes, both these are tied for the number 5 spot. I loved the books so I was so excited when I found out it was becoming a show. I started watching it from the start but for some reason I stopped...I'm not really sure why. But when season came out on dvd I ordered it on Netflix and wondered why I stopped watching it in the first place. But since season 2 was already started I didn't want to continue in the middle of the season. So now I have to wait til season 2 comes out on dvd to get caught up. But at least I can start watching season 3 when it premiers =)

#4

Supernatural

I started watching this show when it first came out and I loved it from the first episode. I love scary movies and to me this show is a different scary movie every week. I watched the first season but when I came to college, I stopped watching it because I went out every Thursday and since Supernatural was on Thursday nights it was kinda hard to keep up with it. However, I rented the dvd's as soon as they came out. And this was one show I got my boyfriend into. We argue alot when it comes to the tv, so its nice to be into a few of the same tv shows. I have watched most of the current season but after that last hiatus I've fallen behind a bit. But I will of course rent it when it comes to dvd.

#3

Lost

I didn't really know anything about this show when it first came on tv but my sister started watching it and said that she loved it. So I was at the movie store one night and decided to rent it and see what all the fuss was about. I loved it! Season two was already like halfway done by the time I finished season one so I couldn't start halfway through the season. So I waited til season two was on dvd to watch it. But as season three rolled around I still couldn't watch it because it was on at the same time as One Tree Hill. But then halfway through it switched nights so I was able to watch it. Since I only saw like half the season I had to rent season 3 when it came out so I knew all that was going on. Finally, when season 4 premiered I was able to watch it on tv. And my boyfriend was with me during that episode and of course had no clue what was going on. So I decided to buy season one so he could watch it. He was addicted after the first disk so for a weekend the only thing we did was sit in his dorm room on watch Lost and eat junk food. I didn't need to buy season 2 because my sister got it for Christmas (my mom didn't want to buy season one because it was more expensive lol) so I just got it from her and for another weekend all we did was stay in his dorm room and watch Lost and eat junk food. I then of course had to buy season 3. So at the same time we were starting from the beginning and watching the new season at the same time. I'm sure you all can figure out how confusing this may be for my boyfriend ;) But now, he is as obsessed with this show as I am! And were both sad that the show will be over after the next season. But we will always have the dvds to go back to!

#2

Grey's Anatomy

This is another show that I didn't watch in the very beginning. I think it was because I always watched The WB (and then the CW when it was changed) and I never really watched ABC and that was why I never knew anything about this show or Lost. But my senior year of high school one of my physics partners watched it so she would talk about every now and then. And when I got to college some of my friends watched it every week so I sometimes watched it with them. Even though I didn't know what was going on I still thought it was a great show so last year I started renting the dvds and of course I fell in love with it. I got caught up just in time for the return of the show after one of their mid season hiatus so I was able to finish up the season. My boyfriend watched a couple episodes with me but he would always pretend he wasn't really into it. Then this year I started buying the dvds because I really wanted to watch them over and he started watching them with me (we didn't have cable so there really wasn't much of a choice on what he watched, and which is also why we watched a lot of tv on dvd lol) So then, I got him into another favorite show of mine and he isn't ashamed of it! And even though I just started watching it a year ago, it still has my number 2 spot because this is one show where every episoded has exceded my expectations. I have never been bored watching an episode of this show!

And now...my #1 favorite show (in the category of drama...and just in general)

ONE TREE HILL

This is my number one show because this is the one show I have watched from the very beginning and have never missed an episode. I have been an avid, obsessed fan from the beginning. I've bought ever set of dvds as soon as they come out and every soundtrack. I've also made mix cd's of some of the songs that have been featured in the show that haven't been on the soundtrack. I've also gotten a lot of people I know into this show so I have people to talk about it with. I got my sisters into it: as soon as I got season 1 on dvd I brought it to my dad's and the three of us stayed up all night until we finished the season. Even my little sister got into it. Then one year when we were on vacation I got my mom into it. We were taking a break from the beach one day because we were so sunburnt so I popped in the first disk and she loved it. So the next year we watched season 2. Then when I got to college my friend Rose and I watched it every week together. She never saw much of the show but of course I got her into it. I also got my friend Jackie into it last year. She was always a fan of the O.C instead of One Tree Hill but last year she started from the beginning and loved it. This show has been my number one since it started and will always be. Even though I do prefer the first four seasons over this four year jump...but they have had some crazy episodes in these last two seasons. Even with two of the main characters not coming back next season I will still watch and it will still be my number 1 =)

Well, thats my top 5...What's yours?

Next week I'll countdown my top 5 favorite reality shows

And They All Lived Happily Ever After

One Tree Hill

This season of One Tree Hill has been a whirlwind for the residents of Tree Hill, North Carolina. Lets take a look back of some of the more crazier times this year...

• Crazy Nanny Carrie comes back and takes Dan hostage in order to get Jamie back
• Brooke is attacked in her store while getting her design sketches stolen from her
• Quentin is unexpectedly shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time
• Sam is kidnapped by the same guy who beat up Brooke and killed Quentin
• Haley gets fired for publishing Sam's amazing life story in the school paper
  
• Peyton finds out she is pregnant but if she goes through with it she may die

But despite all of the crazy things that have happened this year everyone ends up with a happy ending. Yes, thats right! Everyone on this season's finale of One Tree Hill got their happy ever after!

Even Lucas and Peyton, who in last week's episode had a bit of a scare. Peyton had her baby...who was an adorable baby girl...and after four days in a coma, woke up and was fine. She even named her baby Sawyer Brooke Scott. Seriously!? Its just like Jamie's name with the maden name for the first name and the best friend for the middle name. The writers couldn't have come up with a better baby name than that? And then at the end they go for a ride in the newly renovated Comet...but come next season...they don't come back. So they go for a car ride and never come back. Seriously!? They couldn't come up with a better send off for those two?

Anyway lets go on to the other happily ever afters of this years season finale...

Nathan finally gets called in to the NBA! And I'm so proud of him! He has definatly made a come back.

Brooke and her mom are finally at a good place. If it wasn't for her Brooke would never have had her happy ending with Jullian. If it wasn't for her Brooke probably would never have went to LA to tell Jullian how she really feels. But I couldn't believe that she gave up her part of the buisness and gave it all to Brooke. But Brooke deserves it since she is the one that built that buisness from the ground up. It kinda sucked, though, that Sam wasn't in this episode.

Even the other couples in this show got happy endings.

One person that didn't get so much of a happy ending is Dan. But with the circumstances that is understandable. But he didn't have it so bad. I did however, for a second, thought maybe he would try committing suicide again. I'm glad he didn't though. He's the only parent, since the beginning, that has stayed on the show. It was also very nice of Peyton to let him hold little Sawyer. I was very surprised she did, however.

Speaking of past adult characters...I was so happy to see Karen and Whitey on this episode. I was surprised they weren't in the last episode considering it was the wedding but whatever.

Now we all have to wait about five months or so until we find out what happens. But there wasn't any cliffhangers this time around. It was like they wrote the episode just in case the show would'nt come back and that was the series finale. But I'm not sure how much longer this show is going to last with Lucas or Peyton. I will be sad when the show ends but it's had a good run. I guess we'll talk about that when the time comes



The Hills

Now its not Monday Night TV Night without The Hills. This week Lauren fires Stephanie and Spencer meets Heidi's biological dad.

I guess Heidi and Spencer have gotten better since the whole bartender Stacie thing. Which I guess is good. Now he has to meet her dad and get his permission to marry her once and for all. Which he does and then proposes again! Did you see the size of the rock he gave her!? It was huge...but pretty none the less. So it looks like now they are finally going to tye the knot. (Which we all know they do)

Then we have Stephanie who cries when Lauren fires her. She seriously didn't see it coming? She was doing a horrible job and I guess she was the only one who didn't see it. I guess she was just having a bad week because they guy she went out with from the band The White Tie Affair broke it to her that he has a girlfriend...that he lives with. Maybe he should have told her that before they went out. What a good boyfriend he was for going out with another girl.

So next week Spencer calls up Lauren, Heidi goes dress shopping, and Stephanie invites Lauren to the wedding. I guess we'll have to see how that all pans out.

Monday Night TV Night

Its Monday night, and for me that means its TV night! I used to have TV night with my friend Jackie, but she now works on Mondays =( Oh well...I can still have TV night by myself right? Before I moved into the apartment if I couldn't go over to Jackie's on Mondays I would have to wait until my shows were uploaded on the internet. Now, I'm so excited that I can actually watch my shows on time! So every Monday its always One Tree Hill and The Hills.

One Tree Hill

So for this week on One Tree Hill, its the wedding day every One Tree Hill fan has been waiting for. Well, if your an avid fan of Lucas and Peyton that is. I never really was a fan of those to because I have always been on Team Brooke. But since everyone all knows...it has always been and will always be, Lucas and Peyton. But they are starting to grow on me. And I do have to say Peyton looks very pretty in that wedding dress and being 8 months pregnant. Speaking of, the time sure has gone by fast this season. I can't believe she is 8 months already!

Here are my thoughts

• Jullian bringing "movie Brooke" to the wedding to make Brooke jealous...Are you kidding me!? How lame! And he is even more lame for saying what he did about 98 degrees.
  
• Movie Brooke is so annoying!
  
• I love love love Brooke's bridesmaid dress. Its soo pretty!
• I can't believe Haley is the minister but she did a pretty good job.
• Jamie is such a cutie! But isn't he always?? But he is adorable in that little outfit and that little hat. So cute!
• Lucas is so sweet for decorating the house like he did and fixing up the comet to surprise Peyton after their wedding.
  
• I knew something was gonna happen to Peyton at the end...it was kinda obvious...but I thought her water was going to break or something and she would go into labor, I was not expecting her to start bleeding.
• And I can't believe that Nathan didn't get a call for the NBA and skipped practice. I feel so bad for him.
• Victoria is such a bitch...excuse my language...but its true. Why does she always have to bring up the name of the company being "clothes over bros?" Who cares!? Just because the name of Brooke's company is clothes over bros does not mean she can never have a boyfriend and someday get married!
  

Here are the things I find hilarious

• Skills has Jamie on a short leash (literally) which is understandable considering, like Skills said, what happened at Lucas' last wedding.
• Everyone is talking about "slutty, wedding sex" which Nathan and Haley did have.
• Mouth doing his little spoof of "The Blair Witch Project."
  
• What Nathan said to Lucas about his almost wedding with Lindsey.
• Haley quoting Poison in her speech.
• Brooke drags Nick Lachey from the studio while he is in the middle of recording a song, to be her date for the wedding reception
  

This wedding was so cute! Everytime I see a wedding it makes me want to play my own. But my time will come within the next few years (hopefully). Anyway, all together, it was a pretty good episode.

Next week,

I'm so excited for season finale...but I am not excited for a summer hiatus! I hope Peyton doesn't die but I wouldn't put it past the writers since Hilary isn't coming back next season.

The Hills

Here are my thoughts

• Stephanie is really stupid! Lauren gets her an internship and she is just throwing it all away because she doesn't listen and doesn't do what she is told to do. Of course she doesn't pack the pieces that Lauren asks her to pack, or even remember Lauren telling her for that matter. And of course your not doing that great, Stephanie...what tipped ya off?? And why didn't Lauren just fire here after she got back from talking with her boss and Stephanie asked her "how bad was it?"
  
• Justin Bobby is such a loser! I'm so glad that Audrina is finally telling him to get lost and to not call her. If only he would stop chasing her and crying like a baby. And what is up with his outfit...those pants and those black and white stripped socks with combat boots! Seriously!? Well he was never the classiest dresser.
• Stacie is such a stupid bitch, excuse my language again...but seriously!? She obviously just wants on air time and wants to be on this show. She is so two-faced. Who goes after another girl's boyfriend. I hate girls like that!
  
• Then again, Heidi should have learned by now that Spencer is a loser and that he is not going to change. But at least they are trying to make it work by going to couple's counseling. But then again, they are the two people on this show that I have always thought were faking the whole time just for the publicity and the money. Ahh...who knows!?

Next week,

Seriously!? Spencer is proposing to Heidi again when they haven't even been working on thier relationship that long...I was never that confident on the reality of thier relationship. And why is Stephanie so upset about getting fired?? She is the one that brought that on herself.

Anway I'll be back next week to talk about the season finale of One Tree Hill and the next episode of The Hills
