I feel like everyone has one or two TV shows or movies that they may consider a guilty pleasure. I probably have more than a few, but I like what I like, and I don't really care what anyone thinks. One of my guilty pleasure shows is "One Tree Hill". I am kinda of sad to see that this show is entering their last season, but at the same time I do also feel like they have had more than one "series finale" if you know what I mean. It's kind of like LOST. I love that show, and I will watch it over and over, but you can tell when it went from being really good, to pretty good, to "I'm going to continue to watch because I am sucked in".
I love the characters of OTH, and I have to admit that I probably am one of the few people who not only appreciated the older characters starting in season 5, but I also didn't mind seeing Payton and Lucas "drive off into the sunset". Their relationship always got on my nerves a little. I was a Brooke and Lucas girl myself. (But as far as Sophia and Chad...I was team Sophia all the way)
Besides I Haley was always my favorite character in the show. I could relate to her the best, and felt we had the most in common. So as long as they don't kill her off, I'm still a fan.
This brings me to the reason for this rant. I follow the OTH blog, and just read their most resent post titled: EW: ‘One Tree Hill’ has found its hit man — EXCLUSIVE
Now, I was a little concerned to find out that a hit man would be involved in the final (and did I mention short) season of OTH. I felt that this turn of events had "Days of Our Lives" written all over it. (Anyone remember the Salem Stalker...that freaking storyline lasted like an entire year!) But I am a fan, and I will watch. Afterall, I didn't think a crazy nanny would make a good storyline, and that is one of my favorite seasons!
When I googled this story however, I found a plethora of negative comments regarding OTH in its entirety. I was a little bummed with all the negative vibes. I mean I kinda think the show kicks ass. Do I get teased for still watching....yeah, sometimes....but like I said, its my guilty pleasure. And I feel like, if you don't like the show, than don't watch it. But do you really have to hate on it?? Obviously I am not the only one with the guilty pleasure of watching, or they wouldn't have made it for nine seasons. That's right NINE!!! That's one more than Charmed. (another guilty pleasure.....and I own all eight seasons)
Anyhoo.....now that I have shared a few of my own guilty pleasures (did I mention "Secret Life of the American Teenager"....that's a particularly embarrasing one. As I watch I am thinking "why am I watching this??") maybe you can share a few of yours with me. :)
