Okay anon let me tell you a story about the little show that could. Nine years ago a guy named Mark Schwahn created a show called One Tree Hill. But this show has become something so much more. This show has become a part of my life. I never would have expected this tiny show on the WB to have such a huge effect on me. When I’m having a bad day, or I’m feeling lonely I get out my laptop & turn on One Tree Hill. It makes the bad days better. It keeps me going. I know that sounds cheesy but it’s the truth. This show means the world to me. Through out nine amazing years I have gotten the chance to watch these five amazing characters develop into these pronominal people. I have seen Nathan Scott go from a high school basketball player to being in the NBA. I have seen Haley James become a world famous performer. I have seen Brooke Davis, high school cheerleader become Brooke Davis, world famous fashion designer. I have seen Lucas Scott finally get his novel published & I have seen Peyton Sawyer become Peyton Scott. I bawled when Jimmy Edwards couldn’t take the hate anymore, and when Peyton lost her mom, for the second time. I prayed with Haley, waiting for Nathan to come up from under the water when he jumped in after Rachel and Uncle Cooper. I rooted for Peyton and Lucas, and was ecstatic when she showed up at the airport after years of loving the same man. I watched Brooke get the fairy tale life she deserved. I cried with Brooke, loved with Haley, listened to music with Peyton, laughed with Lucas, and I’ve played basketball with Nathan. I have gone on an amazing journey with these characters including crazy stalkers, and love triangles. These characters have taught me so much. So no anon, this isn’t just a show. It is a part of my life.
Great post.
You know, when I first got into OTH, only few months ago (I’m a late starter, I know) I went into it with the lowest expectations possible. I didn’t expect anything from it, but instead got something that maybe isn’t everything, but something really big. A lot of modern shows that had a much better reputation than OTH, reputation of original and creative dramas and series (such as TVD or Skins), couldn’t get me invested, they didn’t make me relate to them, they got me either disappointed or just didn’t interest me. None if them I stayed loyal to and none of them could I ever follow for 8 whole seasons. Yet OTH, despite it having plenty of weak spots, made me feel. Despite a lot of story lines being cheesy and despite it having it’s flaws this show seemed incredibly genuin and relatable to me, I could sympathy with characters, I could feel together with them, they surprizingly ended up being something more to me than just characters and despite the teen drama genre they had layers and they had evolation that was handled in a convincing manner. Not everything I agreed with, not everything I liked, not always things went right, but the flaws were fixed and the good outweighted the bad. Plus the incredible atmosphere of this show, it’s music and cast made it really unique and different from everything else we have on our screens. It made me want to come back to it and it helped me to get through the day. Something that other shows couldn’t do, OTH could and did it beautifully.
Then again, to each their own. Different strokes for different folks.

Pretty much took the words out of my mouth. I miss OTH
I don’t love it that much, but all I can say is that you don’t watch OTH. It’s more like you experience it.
Holy crap, I’m crying so much right now.
couldnt answer better myself.
