    that’s INSANE. honestly, i’m amazed people still watch one tree hill. i stopped watching after lucas and peyton left (i tried watching the new season but it was unbearable; nathan possibly having an affair, dan and rachel as a couple, etc.?!?!?!) Life Unexpected is a breath of fresh air, going back to old-school WB, and I love it. Gossip Girl just bores me now.

    Is this total viewers? What about demo ratings? I’d suspect that GG would skew younger, but I don’t know. I really hope they renew LUX personally. It’s such a great show and there is the potential for growth whereas OTH will just continue to lose viewers.

  • http://www.thetvaddict.com theTVaddict

    Karen,

    18-39 demos for each show are virtually the same

    1.0/3 – one tree hill
    0.9/3 – life unexpected
    1.0/3 – gossip girl

  • cassi

    But don’t ya know that GG creates more buzz and that their ratings doesn’t seem to matter at all? Their stars do red carpets, award shows and are in teen magazines *sarcasm*

  • Smallville944

    @Kat i totally agree with you that OTH is not what it used to be when Peyton and Lucas left and i think they should give it a series finale this year and End it and Renew LUX to give it a second season sadly though the CW will Renew One Tree Hill and cancel LUX i can totally see that happening

  • bws

    The bottom line is that all their ratings are pretty crummy, even for the CW. I would think that a lot of people weren’t even aware GG was on last night since it’s been 3 months since the last one.

  • Captain Inappropriate

    It’s possible that OTH just plain costs more at this point. GG isn’t as far along in seasons. Everyone from the actors to the writers to the office people all get raises as it goes along, and maybe the cost isn’t balancing out what it’s making them as well as GG is.

  • John

    The only reason shows like GG and 90210 are sticking around is that they film in NYC and LA, so the stars have a much easier time getting out there and mingling with the press, showing up at events and getting attention for the CW. The same can’t be said for shows that film in Vancouver and North Carolina. And yes, I know Smallville, Vampire Diaries and Supernatural also film outside of LA/NYC, but their ratings are a lot better than this.

  • Chels725

    GG is more mainstream popular. That’s the only reason why its being renewed. Its ratings were always crappier than OTH’s. I hope they renew LUX and end OTH though. I quit watching OTH in its 4th season. Its been crap since then. LUX is a fresh show that doesn’t have a ton of unrealistic teenagers.

  • Nick

    Cassi kind of nailed it—Gossip Girl provides much more to the network than just viewers (and those numbers go up when DVR viewing is factored in, BTW). Networks need a “buzzed about” show or cast, something to keep them in the public consciousness, and mag covers, premieres, fashion shows, etc. do just that. Besides which, GG viewers are exactly the demo that many advertisers covet.

    Sad facts for OTH fans, I know…but true. The best of all worlds is to bring back all 3 shows for a cost-effective run, say 20 eps. for GG, 18 for LUX and 16 for OTH. Something is better than nothing, if we can’t get full orders for all (which, of course, is preferable).

  • Josh Emerson

    Can we just abolish the CW completely? Supernatural is the only worthwhile show on the network and I’ve even fallen behind watching that.

  • Mohammad

    i read somewhere that if you add up life unexpected’s ratings from both monday and wednesday, it’s the second highest rated show on the cw.

  • Tim WIlkins

    is this a trick question? lol I watched GG’s return last night (3 months later thank u not very much CW) and it was lackluster. Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, no it makes the heart look elsewhere for fulfillment.

    My take: GG gets press and pushes buttons with bad 3somes. lol

    And byw, what TV Fan will choose Melrose over LOST? Not me.

  • Hil

    I have to watch LUX on Wednesdays because it is on against CHUCK now. I don’t have DVR so I’ll add to the eyeballs watching Wednesday at least.

  • ILOVECW

    One Tree Hill should have ended last season when Lucas and Peyton left. I like LUX. It kind of reminds me of TV back when I was in college. Sort of your gilmore girls meets Dawson’s Creek. But I guess kids nowadays are more into money, clothes, drugs, sex and alcohol or at least that is what 90210 and GG are telling me.
    On a more serious note, GG makes tons in terms of international maket. It’s popular in the UK I know that for sure. 90210 though, not so much.

  • http://www.mysticalmagick.com/ Araceli

    Gossip Girl is decent and pretty good when it’s good. 90210 and Melrose can disappear. One Tree Hill used to be good. And Lux still needs to prove itself, it has the dynamics but hasn’t actualized them yet. I’m going to say that OTH got so high because of the Haley and Nathan storyline I’m hearing about. It’s almost tempting me to watch the show again.

  • Nick

    Don’t count on the LUX encores on Wednesday. They’re GONE. It was for only the first 8 weeks. Top Model returns tomorrow (and, of course, gets its worthless reality encore on Fridays….because EVERYONE loves a reality rerun, don’t they?)

    Point is, LUX airs once a week now…..Mondays at 8pm.

  • Mavi

    OTH is one of the worst programs on tele it a 40 minute music video.. constant music.. to be fair it has been terrible since they returned after 4 yrs…

  • DB

    I agree, Mavi, OTH is a very long music video indeed. I caught the show one day when I thought GG was going to be on and I almost vomit when I heard some of the awful dialogues. It always amazed me that it’s be on air for so long.

    To answer the question: GG is renewed because it has a lot of buzz, good critical response, online followers, and also for being the CW’s signature show. OTH is on the bubble because it’s a veteran show (gasp! 7th year), so technically the show will be more expensive, with all the added license fee and all. LUX is still too new to tell. In retrospect, Veronica Mars was in the two millions total viewer range, and you know the rest. The point is, every show is judged differently when it comes to renewal.

  • Miessa

  • Nikki

    OTH is the BEST show on the CW!!!!!!!

  • http:treehillfan.com Amanda

    One Tree Hill is the best show on the CW! If they CW cancel that show, they are gonna be attacked by angry fans … and the president of the CW has already said that OTH has the most dedicated and hardcore fans that she has ever seen! One Tree Hill is better than ever this season, the new cast .. everything works perfectly!

    They need to cancel LUX and maybe even Gossip Girl … leave, OTH, Vampire Diaries and 90210

  • Shesha

    I am confused by the # of people commenting on how OTH sucks and they stopped watching. If you stopped watching how do you know it sucks. If it seems to have the most viewers here – i think that speaks for itself. It actually got a lot better once peyton and lucas left – we now have more adult storyline’s – more comedy. Its a great show. I have no doubt that an 8th season is pushing it, i just feel like the network owes it to the fans to send it off properly and not at the last minute. Give us the season to say good-bye.

  • Kim

    GG was renewed because (not entirely, I know) that The CW would look like an idiot for canceling it. That’s the way I see it. OTH has got to be pretty expensive at this point, probably making it more of a bubble show than it might have otherwise been. Life Unexpected is just a regular show, not particularly good or bad at this point in my opinion. Anyway, The CW never promotes anything right. It’s shocking anything ever catches on at all- and really, it doesn’t, unless it’s spun off of something else like a book.

    This whole thing makes me angry because it is evident that they have no idea what they are doing. If it were up to me, OTH would be renewed for its final season (12 or 15 eps or so if it’s super expensive), LUX would be back as a midseason show, and GG needs some serious help in terms of new writing or something.

  • Lilly

    I love how everyone is bashing OTH just because it got more votes.
    OTH is one of the best shows on TV right now. Its not OTHs fault that the CW would rather promote dreadful shows such as GG. Seven seasons is far more than LUX or GG will ever have.

  • Kara

    One Tree Hill Season 8! Please. Please. Please.

  • OTH FAN

    OTH may cost more but it has consistent fans that aren’t going anywhere…and besides Smallville its the only CW show that has that going for it. GG, 90210, and Melrose Place are all practically the same show just different titles. At least OTH has characters with substance dealing with somewhat real issues. Keep OTH wipe all the other crap shows off the grid including LUX.

  • Nathalie

    This has to be a joke. The CW treats OTH like they are the damn step child. Is it our fault that all their shows are extremely stupid, already used ideas, and rich kids that go around having sex and getting drunk? (Will admit that GG is a little interesting) But OTH already has an established audience, and WILL bring a lot more money than some show about a girl that found her parents. That alone is bullshit. You can’t write a TV show just from that. What? The parents adopt her blah blah, first season. Second season, the parents get back together. WOOO. Now where the eff are you going to go? The girl gets pregnant and has to come face to face with the same ordeal her parents went through. Woop di fucking doo. Keep OTH. It is guaranteed money, and fanbase. Don’t screw yourself in the ass by making this mistake. The CW will lose 60% of their viewers alone making this move.

  • Christina

    Keep OTH and get rid of all the other lame shows on the cw network.

  • sarah

    there is something very wrong with that picture! OTH is one of the best shows…in fact its my favorite! Seeing a new episode of One Tree Hill is the highlight of my week! I love the characters and thge stories and the music is amazing! The CW will be making a huge mistake if they don’t renew One Tree Hill!

  • Kira

    There is DEFINITLEY nothing wrong with this picture. I’ve loved Gossip Girl ever since it first started and I am glad to see that it is being renewed. At least there will be something to keep me entertained. One Tree Hill has always been really popular on the CW. It has a great fan base, which isn’t going anywhere. The ratings have still been pretty good even though Peyton and Lucas have left. It’s my most favourite show on the CW, and I would just die if it isn’t renewed for a season 8. Life Unexpected should be renewed for a season 2 because it really has the potential to become successful. I bet Gilmore GIrls fans really love it. I know I do. If anything, I hope One Tree Hill is saved! :)

  • jess

    I don’t understand why they would want to cancel the show with the most viewers. I will admit that OTH wasn’t what it used to be (Season 1-3) but its still pretty good and has a consistent fan base. They barely promote OTH and it still gets the most views while you see a LUX,GG and Melrose commercial every 10 minutes on the CW. GG got boring after the 5th episode of the new season and I really hope if OTH continues, they break Brulian up because he’s just making Brooke act exactly like Peyton, always crying and shit, she’s no fun anymore! :(

    Okay first of all, if you actually watched the new season of OTH and gave it a chance, you would see that Nathan’s scandal was false, Dan and Rachel haven’t been in the show for how many episode now ? Like 9 ? Haley’s Mom just died, there’s a pshyco stalking Clay, a new chick Alex, gets in the way of Brooke and Julian’s relationship, and they actually break up at one point, etc. But of course you’re probably one of those bias Leyton fans. I’m not saying I don’t like Leyton, I LOVE them. I miss Lucas so much, and Peyton too, but it just shows that you’re not a true fan of OTH if you stop watching because 2 characters left. Yeah, they may have been the main characters, but they still have 3 of the main 5, Naley and Brooke. And Mouth and Skills too. You just have to give it a chance. But whatever, your opinion is your opinion.

    Renew OTH PLEASE. The CW needs shows like OTH, not GG with all their rich unrealistic events. It’s show’s like Dawson’s Creek and OTH that are truly great.
    And as for LUX, I honestly don’t think they won’t renew it. It’s only in it’s first season, and have they ever cancelled a show after it’s first season? (correct me if I’m wrong).
    I find LUX boring and the acting kinda bad.
    Just sayin.

    OTH ftw.

    Yes, oth may not be the best season ever, but it still is an amazing show that does not deserve to be “on the bubble”!!! OTH should at LEAST be renewed one more year to finish off the series. PLEASE, renew OTH!

    i love Brulian and Naley :)

    haha lolsss. so trueee..this graph is simply enough reason. cmon Ostroff, renewwww OTH and LUX already!

  • Liz

    save OTH if you’re going to save anything. it’s had the same loyal viewers for 8 seasons. HOWEVER, someone mentioned that it maybe should have ended when lucas and peyton left which may have been a good idea. i can see that this season isnt as “i have to watch” as the previous season but as long as it goes out with bang i’d be okay if it DID end.

  • Kim

    I love OTH. I have watched just about every episode except for 5 of this season. It is one of my favorite shows on the CW. I also like Life Unexpected. They bring a highlight to my long Monday. It has been “the little show that could” mark Schwann words not my. It hasn’t had the most popular ratings, but it does have a large fan base. I wasn’t sure with Peyton and Lucas leaving when it first came back on, but it still has amazing story lines

  • B

    @ ILOVECW, sorry but i’m from the UK too and NO ONE watches gossip girl here.. it comes on itv2, a channel not many people watch (i heard GG was actually moving to mtv in the uk since not many people are tuning in to itv2).. .OTH is more popular as it airs on E4, with repeats of previous seasons too… sorry to say but OTH does way better in the international market…

    The decision will be made today right? They’d be stupid to cancel OTH.. and LUX too for that matter… i don’t understand why they can’t just renew both..

  • Hailey

    To Whom This May Concern,
    I saw today where Dawn mentioned that Life Unexpected is likely to get a second season. However, when looking at the poll that asked fans to choose between OTH and LUX, you will see that with over 1000 votes compared to LUX’s 200 that fans CLEARLY want another season of OTH over LUX if it comes down to the two.
    BUT take a minute and read the comments. Many people said they watched BOTH shows, but choose OTH over LUX. These results mirror the petitions that were started last week. As of now, the One Tree Hill petition is drawing over 16,000 signatures, where LUX’s is drawing in around 400. That being said I do think LUX is a good show.

    However I can speak for many OTH fans in saying that partly the only reason I watch LUX is it’s on right after OTH. They attract similar audiences. So in my opinion it would be a poor decision to renew one and not the other. By canceling one of them you can almost guarantee drops in ratings for both. LUX is still a new show, renew is for a second season and OTH for an 8th (and final) season. Keep them on the same night and have a somewhat consistent schedule. This whole mid season starting and 8 week hiatus is ridiculous and poor planning.

    Moving on, I have read that LUX draws in a totally new audience on Wednesday nights. I mean really, if you showed ANY show two nights a week of course it would draw in (new/repeat) viewers both nights. For example I like Biggest Loser and American Idol but I can’t watch both at the same time. So please when making your decision know that the fans are screaming to keep One Tree Hill. In my opinion the CW needs more shows like One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected and less shows like Gossip Girl, 90210, MP, and ANTM.
    With a target audience being young adults who are at a very vulnerable stage, how is watching shows like that good for them? All they see is a false sense of reality; “beauty and money.” The CW needs to go back to the WB days where the network flourished off of Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven, One Tree Hill, and Dawson’s Creek. Without doing this I feel this network’s years are numbered.

    My last point comes from a marketing standpoint. The amount of attention Gossip Girl gets in comparison to all of the other CW shows is ridiculous. With the way you all promote this show, its ratings should be through the roof. However, looking back at the ratings you will see that they have been LOWER than One Tree Hill’s ALL season. I also, find it funny that One Tree Hill coincidentally was placed against the Olympics and Gossip Girl was conveniently placed after.

    In conclusion, I thank you for taking the time to read this and hope to see One Tree Hill back for an 8th season next fall.

  • Jennifer Lawrence

    Hi CW!

    This is a desperate plea to save One Tree Hill.

    Having been on air for 7 years, One Tree Hill has built up a firm devoted fan base. It continuously brings in the best ratings for the CW week after week (when comparing other shows like Gossip Girl, 90210, Life Unexpected & Melrose Place).

    One Tree Hill addresses issues that young adults face everyday and has helped many people in this regard.

    Lastly, One Tree Hill provides jobs for local Wilmington residents and brings tourism income to Wilmington via fans from all over the world visiting to see where their favourite show is filmed.

    So please please renew One Tree Hill for an 8th season. Being the ‘little train/show that could’, One Tree Hill still has enough steam in it to continue for at least another season.

    Kind regards
    A loyal One Tree Hill fan – Jennifer Lawrence

  • OneTreeHillFan

    I do not think you should cancel One Tree Hill. I have been an avid supporter for many years, since the pilot, and I think it deserves a proper ending. One Tree Hill fans have proven their loyalty by tuning into your station, year after year after year, without fail. It would be a great disservice to us to cancel the show after we’ve shown the CW so much support. Other shows have come and gone since 2003 and One Tree Hill has remained. This is thanks to the love and determination of the fans. Please show us our efforts are appreciated by renewing One Tree Hill for an eighth and final season. The show needs a proper wrap-up and that cannot happen in just four episodes. So please, don’t let us down. We deserve this.

    Sincerely,
    Forever a One Tree Hill fan

    Hi!

    I just wanted to say that I really hope One Tree Hill stays on the air for a season 8. As silly as it may sound this show has really helped me through some difficult times over the past several years and I really don’t want to let it go just yet. One Tree Hill has such a strong fan base, which is evident through the outpouring support right now through fan sites and a petition with over 15,000+ signatures in support of a season 8. I hope you will take this into consideration when making your decision. Thank you for your time.

    Sincerely,

  • Amanda

    To Whom It May Concern,

    Hello. I am a 27 year old single mother. I come from a typical low income American family; single mother working two jobs to make ends meet, alcoholic father who would rather be in the bar than at home with his family, and two older brothers who always viewed me as a pest of a little sister.

    Even though I had very few friends I would love the times at school because I knew that I could drown out the echoes of disappointment with the carelessness of adolescence. Times at home were hard and I know this sounds corny, but the main thing that helped me was Saturday mornings when Saved by the Bell came on and I was able to leave my world behind. I was able to enter their world, comprised by their shenanigans, their loves, their failures, and I knew that if I could make it through then it would be ok.

    The show gave me hope that one day it could get better for me. So I held on to that feeling of HOPE day after day. You know how some people cut out cars or houses and put them on their wish list, mine was to just be accepted, loved and acknowledged but you can’t cut that out of a magazine so I used a television show. That one show, for the slightest of thirty minutes that it was on, taught me how to become a better person. You should know, if you don’t already, that One Tree Hill is that for many lost souls wondering who they are meant to be.

    For the last 7 Seasons I have been watching One Tree Hill religiously with my mother (she is now my best friend), my brother, my aunt, my cousin and another aunt who is no longer with us, but we still feel her presence every Monday night when we pop popcorn and loose ourselves for just an hour that we retreat to Tree Hill. This show, the show that you are in the process of canceling, has the ability to bridge gaps and unify people that never knew each other existed as well as help others who share blood reconnect with those whom they have lost somewhere along the way. Please don’t let this opportunity slip through your fingers.
    My family is still in the process of healing, and I am sure a few others could use a little bit of that healing as well. Let One Tree Hill speak its last breath in Season 8. There are still more stories to tell, dances to be danced, slaps to be made, dreams to be remembered, tears to be cried, and laughs to be heard. Since “There is only one Tree Hill”, let us enjoy the ride just a little longer. If you let this be I am certain that voices will rise from the depths of us all. We know that “every song has a coda” …. We know that one day we will have to say goodbye to the residents of Tree Hill, but let’s not let that day be today.

  • Lana

    One Tree Hill is completely different to any other show I have seen and connects with its audience in a way I think a lot of shows don’t. Over seven series the show has continued to deliver its audience and fan base with emotional, deep, captivating and real story lines that so many people can relate and connect to. I have purchased every season on DVD and have continued to watch them over and over again. I laugh and I cry, I feel I go through the emotions with the characters each week and again when I re watch on DVD. I basically would say I am obsessed with this show. I can’t wait for the next episode to come out each week. I have read numerous fan sites and see that so many people feel the same way I do, that this show it too valued to finish now. Please allow One Tree Hill at least one last season to provide its dedicated fans who have been there from the very first episode and all those it has picked up along the way a chance to connect with these characters for one last season. After the most recent episode of One Tree Hill, the writing, the directing and the emotional level the actors took the storylines too proved that the show even after seven years can still provide captivating story lines and if given the chance can do so for one more season. It has been said that One Tree Hill has one of the strongest fan bases and as stated earlier I would not usually write to a station on behalf of a show, but this show has something special something different to all other shows, something worth hanging onto for at least one last season. . If the show does not get renewed or even if it does I thank the WB and CW for putting a show on with such depth and amazing capabilities to draw in its audience week after week season after season. Thanks.

    Please!

  • Ky

    What’s wrong is that Gossip Girl (which has gotten ridiculously old and horrible) is being renewed when One Tree Hill (which has the most viewers and is still likeable) is “on the bubble”. It also seems like every season CW is more than willing to bring back shows that aren’t too popular but when it comes down to One Tree Hill its always a sketchy situation, which has never made sense since the fan base and grown more and more each year. It really should be a no-brainer to keep One Tree Hill.

  • Maria

    Naley is the best thing on that show along with Brooke.

    iwant more naley stuff drama and more cute naley scenes
    BRING ON SEASON 8 AND MORE TO COME

  • LOVESOTH

    Exactly what ky says. What’s wrong is that you have already renewed an unrealistic show that bases everything on drugs and sex and scandals. There’s no heart and people watch it bc it has more buzz and to keep up with the lastest scandal. That’s all the show is. One tree hill brings faith and hope to people who struggle. For that hour they are taken from their struggles and worries and given hope to their lives. One tree hill storylines are truly amazing. They have taken many risks and everyone has worked. We fans are the most loyal fans out of any other show. I think the cw should consider us in this. We need this show. We deserve just one more season. Please give us that.

  • Isabella

    I’m from the UK too, and not many people watch Gossip Girl anymore because it’s on at like 8 on itv2 and is barely advertised (plus most people watch it online) whereas when One Tree Hill is on, it gets regular adverts and daily repeats of previous seasons. Personally, I still really miss Lucas and Peyton, but One Tree Hill has still managed to succeed in creating meaningful, funny, and heartfelt episodes every week. This was the first ever non-cable show to use Led Zeppelin on their soundtrack. This was the show that brought us a school shooting, and psycho attacks that still resound in fans memories. It has excelled for 7 seasons, and The CW can’t expect us to give it up in four episodes. Whether we only get 12 episodes, we need a Season 8 as a proper send off to this immense show, to properly wrap stories, and maybe even end the show like it started, two brothers on the rivercourt. Whether you like it or not, the numbers don’t lie, and One Tree Hill deserves a proper series finale, being that it has outperformed The CW’s “most watched” shows.

  • Mary

    OTH is like the ONLY show I watch! It is SOOOO good! You feel so close with the characters. Mark Schwan is a genious! I think they need a season 8, or like half a season, just to be able to wrap things up properly. …However if I had it my way the show would go on forever. BEST SHOW EVER. SAVE OTH!
    …Oh and GG is propably one of the stupidest shows I have ever seen. They only get viewers because of hype about threesomes and CRAP. I have watch alot of the episodes, just cause friends would have it on at their places, and it is just a poor, no talent, show.

    For those of you who are a little naive as to how the television industry works. There are many things other than ratings that factor into a show being successful and profitable. Sure, ratings are important, but the only way ratings will guarantee a show a renewal is if they are through the roof (House, NCIS, The Mentalist, etc.). But when a show is only higher than other lesser watched shows, especially just those on the same network, ratings factor not as much of a landslide in it’s worth. There are other things looked at such as budget, network politics, merchandise sales, international success, internet traffic, online streaming, critics, media attention, and the popularity of the stars in the show(Blake Lively just hosted SNL and was cast opposite Ryan Reynolds in the Green Lantern Movie, not to mention, various GG stars are asked to be guests on talk shows, not so much wth OTH). plus let’s not forget that the shows two most popular (I mean outside of the OTH audience) stars left last year and there is already more talk of other cast cuts due to budget issues. the budget is a big one, especially for a show that has been renewed past it’s original contracts with talent and writers. Gossip Girl ‘s and Life Unexpected’s actors are still within their original contracts.

    If you look carefully, many of these OTH posts are written by the same person!!! Nice. I wonder what they think that will accomplish?

    If anyone that matters is actually reading this forum, here are three words: RENEW LIFE UNEXPECTED.

    It’s only getting better week after week, and it’s far better written and more engaging than any of the teen trash on the CW. It has heart and morals. It would be ironic, actually, if the CW kills the only show with heart that its had in ages…

    Lucy:
    How can you “look carefully” and tell it’s the same person… ?

    And what makes you think the LUX ones aren’t written by the same people too?
    For the record, I’ve only posted as myself on here, not like 12 people, because I know that OTH has enough fans that the same person doesn’t need to write like a trillion comments as different people.

    season 8, season 8, season 8.

    Bring on season 8 im so ready for it. One tree hill is an amazing show and the new characters just started out they should give us more time with them the show cannot end this way seriously. Cant wait until my birthday for the last 4 epiosdes

  • haley d

    I NEED A SEASON 8 IN ORDER TO KEEP LIVING. ive grwon up with it and dont want it to end. =[ gossip girl isnt even good anymore. OTH beats all in my house. no matter what! my dad even watches it! he loves brooke lol

  • Sarah

    PLEASE renew One tree hill! at least for a final 8th season! there’s a reason its still on compared to other teen/young adult shows that get canceled on the 3rd season! One tree hill has a huge and LOYAL fan base!

    another thing LUX should be given a chance for a second season! its a good show, it has potential.

    and gossip girl HONESTLY I do not understand how people are all over it, it was interesting at first but now its just boring and over dramatic not to mention unrealistic, people don’t relate to the characters. and ratings speak for themselves, one tree hill beat it all year. I mean CW spends so much effort to promote it and its still not living up to the hype.

    on a side note : The Vampire Diaries is the best CW show of the season. it should never end.

    This is insane! I dont understand how One Tree Hill has not been renewed yet, when GG has been. OTH has a ton more views and a much more dedicated fan base. Not to mention that you can actually relate to the characters of One Tree Hill. This show has brought up so many important issues for teens and has shown them how to deal with things like death, drugs, alcohol, peer pressure. If anything please give us an 8th and final season, so that we are all able to say good bye. It just wouldn’t seem right if we didnt get that chance.

    I have grown up with this show for the last 7 years. These people and these characters have become some what a part of my family. As weird as that shows. I think I am safe to say this, but I feel that its the same way for all One Tree Hill fans. We have had these people in our lives and in our homes for so long, it just would not be the same with out them. There would be a HUGE void. Please oh please give us another season!!!!
