For some the major change doesn't take place until the middle of the series but maybe you'll see it sooner. Lol

Michelle, you heading for 50,000 posts.
Yeah! Took me forever. It seems like I've been lingering around 45 grand forever.

As for the last three seasons... We talked about this privately several days ago. You can see what you think but like I told privately it was nice to see how Lucas/Peyton concluded and you could sit back and just enjoy the other stuff. Hopefully you totally like Brooke by then because I will say some called it "The Brooke Show" given how much her presence increased.

The guest stars / supporting characters get WAY too much screen time, and they bring in new main characters, too. It's just way different. You're left with Brooke, Haley, and Nathan though so if you're in love with them by then then you may still enjoy. I watched it all in real time because I just love the show so very much, but it gets bad. There is a superhero episode..

Oh well! I guess I just have to brace myself!

Why did Peyton and Lucas leave the show? Was it their choice?

Chad and Hilarie left at the same time, their choice. Shu said it was money related for Chad and Hilarie just thought it was time, maybe because Lucas leaves, well Peyton has to, too!

As a LP fan, we need to be glad they both left together!

All of their contracts were up after 6 seasons so they had to renegotiate for new ones.

Shu said that Chad wanted too much money for his new contract.

ETA: Fun fact - today is exactly 11 yrs from the OTH premiere

How freaky is that?

Here's a question we can answer while we close out this thread... where would you rank One Tree Hill as far as your favorite TV shows? For all you Creek watchers would you put it in front of Dawson's Creek? I don't mean the best quality TV show when I ask the question... I mean as far as what you consider your top favorites, where does One Tree Hill fall for you?

I really can't answer that question, but I am looking forward to hearing what others say.

Well, here's a question for the newbie... how would you rank the One Tree Hill Pilot while comparing it to other good Pilots you've seen?

One Tree Hill is easily in my top 3 shows all-time. I could list out others but as far as someone asking me what series did you love the most, these easily come into play. Everwood would probably come in 4th for me based on nostalgia as it was the first show I ever really got into aside from 7th Heaven that we watched as a family growing up.

1. Chuck (Just too many personal ties to the show not to give it top billing)
2. Friday Night Lights
3. One Tree Hill

OMG the superhero episode I forgot about that! There's also an episode where they go back to like the 1920's at some point....but that may be earlier on in the series because I think Peyton is still around.

Pretty much Betty (since you already heard LP are gone this isn't a spoiler for you) as many long running shows run into, the main actors contracts ran out and Chad and Hilarie didn't resign for various reasons. Then Hilarie in particular got on another show (White Collar) so even bringing her in for cameos was tough. I think Chad wanted to pursue movies and so on.....don't think it really worked out for him the way he planned but none the less the show pretty much does a reboot. Do you watch Grey's Anatomy at all? It's similar to how a few seasons ago they brought in a new group of doctors to fill the void as the main characters started leaving after contract disputes etc.

I still say watch the season, it's not award winning TV by any means like the first few years but by then you are so invested in the characters (at least I was) you kinda want to know where they go. There are still some good episodes and stories, but some of the story lines are insane, keep in mind by this point it was a full fledged CW show and it certainly started playing into that stereotype at times. Season 9 brings it all home though for sure, so for that reason alone I would say stay with it so you aren't lost!

Good answers and, yes, exactly what you said as far as why Betty should watch the entire series. By the time season 7 hits, you are already totally invested anyway and season 9 pulls things together for the ending.

Yes, I feel like even One Tree Hill was affected by the CW. Mark probably altered some of his storylines to award the CW for allowing his show more airtime.

I would not rank it as high as Everwood...but it's pretty close so far. It gives me an "Everwood warmth I love this show" feeling.

Shelby..thanks for the info and encouragement. I will definitely stick out this show...all episodes. I like to finish what I start...unless I really can't stand a show.

Nah, nothing compares to Everwood. Lucas/Peyton gave me an Everwood feel though more than any other pairing. They could be inserted into Everwood and take off magically.

I wish I could tell you yes, but things in Season 9 are relevant to things happened in Seasons 7-8. Character developments and it relates a lot to the series finale. So I want you to enjoy the series finale as watching everything and knowing the journey of all the characters (that are left) to enjoy.

They started out okay, but then it got to be like the melodrama soap opera that didn't make sense to even what season 6 was, not to mention what the original series was about.

I'm gonna start posting my further comments in the next thread since this one is close to 300

1. Felicity
2.farscape
3. Everwood
4. Mscl
5. Oth
6 Gilmore girls
7 gossip girl
