Oh Season 1... when two of my friends were obsessing over this show, Sophia and Chad, had posters all over their rooms, etc. I was like "Come on, don't talk about this ****ty show in front of me. With the stupid actor and actress, big deal, it's probably not good at all'' That was 11-year-old ignorant me.

In a couple of months, I was really bored with the TV programmes, didn't have Internet and not too many options, so I said to my friend (that was sometime in late 2006, mid-season 4) OOk , can you put this show on a couple of DVDs and let me see what it's all about. I had received a new DVD player a couple of weeks before Xmas and it was perfect timing - of course, the episodes were illegally downloaded, because the show didn't air in my homecountry until late 2007/early 2008. That was my first US TV Drama ever, wasn't familiar with the Primetime format (only with the daytime soaps & telenovelas)and the "Seasons'' structure. So it was all very fancy and new to me - unfortunately, the first disc , which had Episodes 1-10 didn't work, so I had to start watching from 1x11 and I was instantly hooked. I was apologising to my friends literally the day after I watched 2 or 3 episodes for bashing the show and that's when it all started. And a month later, another friend of mine gave me a DVD with the first 10 episodes and the first 12 of Season 2 and they kept coming up until Season 4, Episode 6 or 7.


Generally, it was a very exicitng season, I don't think I can name a weak or filler episode and even though I was only 11/12 years old when I started watching it, I really found something magical about it from the very first time, watching a random episode. The characters, the small town setting, the relationships - everything was so appealing and exciting to me.

So mostly because of that story, Season 1 has a very special place in my heart.

Thanks for sharing your story.

I started watching late too, because for some reason I was dead set against watching it for the longest time. Maybe because I was told it was another Dawson's Creek and I had a fierce loyalty to that show. I finally gave in and watched season one on Netflix all in the span of a few days. I kept saying " Okay one more episode then I need to go to bed". Well that didn't work out so well.

So bottom line I found a spot for both One Tree Hill and Dawson's Creek in my life.

I am also a fan of DC I ship PJ

TheSameDeepWaterAsYou

Am I the only one who's never watched DC ?

DylanLovesKelly

Yeah, you probably are. I just discovered it on Pop last year and I absolutely love it. You need to watch!

msstock87

I am too. I enjoyed other couples on there but P/J have my heart.

DylanLovesKelly

OTC and DC have a lot of similarities. The Dawson/Joey relationship is similar to Lucas/Haley without the romantic component. And Pacey is similar to Nathan IMO because they both evolved and matured into loveable and respectable men over the course of the show.

Those are both good comparisons and I can totally see both of them.

I like the fact that both shows were filmed in Wilmington as well. I can't wait to go visit the locations for both shows.

DylanLovesKelly

That's the dream

I have family that lives down there now so we have a place to stay whenever we get the time to go too.

DylanLovesKelly

Lucky

msstock87

I am pretty excited.

DylanLovesKelly

You have to tell us all about it and take pictures!

msstock87

I will when we go.

When are you planning on going?
