KEEP ONE TREE HILL..ITS THE BEST…FOR EVERY REASON POSSIBLE!!!!!!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I watched One Tree Hill for the first 3 seasons, or so, when I was 11-14 years old. I stopped because I thought the story lines were too repetitive and the characters weren’t developing. I caught an episode last year, and surprise surprise, nothing has changed.
So, just vote for Chuck. Or Life Unexpected. Or Parenthood. Or Better Off Ted. But please, Chuck?

Seriously? i really think that if Chad and Hilarie had continued on the show it would, eventually, get boring, but season 7 is not just a bunch of repeated events to try to keep the loyal fans excited with it, is way more than that! At first sight nobody really liked the new characters but the romance between Quinn and Clay has become such a great shipper just as Naley and Leyton. Which obviously means that lots of people wanna know how their story will be like. And we’ve got Brooke, the only character that has been through a lot since the show has started and till now didn’t get her “happy forever and after”. So, yeah maybe one more season will be too much compairing with these crappy tv shows currently airing (Gossip what?) or maybe will be perfect to finish this beautiful path One Tree Hill has made properly.

nope, i agree it should end, but it also needs a proper ending, that is the respectful thing to do

I dont disagree, however I would only be ok with it ending if it were given a proper ending! Dont leave us with a cliffhanger hoping to come back and not see the storyline through. Pull a Lost, put a deadline on the show and spend those last episodes wrapping everything up for a satifsying ending. Then its ok to say goodbye. There have been too many shows that have been canceled either halfway through a season (hello Reunion) or ended with cliffhangers because they didnt know if they would be coming back or not (American Dreams, Las Vegas, etc).

First of all, One Tree Hill has had seven seasons, not eight! Also, One Tree Hill is one of few shows with meaning, inspiration, heart, humor, and amazing music!…Music, that I, along with probably many others, wouldn’t even know, if it wasn’t for One Tree Hill! This show has also featured many meaningful and inspirational quotes, which is wonderful, and also quite rare to see on television. This show has captured moments that make you think, make you cry, and motivate you to be the person you are meant to be! Mark Schwahn, the creator of One Tree Hill, has always known what he wanted this show to be, and the messages he wanted to send; and it would be a shame if he didn’t get to end the show the way he has envisioned it from the beginning. Therefore, One Tree Hill definitely deserves to have another season and to have the farewell that long-time, devoted fans have longed for!
Thanks.

The only reason I am voting is simple: The season will NOT tie up properly. I hate how networks dont give enough of a notice to creators and writers so they can wrap it up well. We need AT LEAST 13 more episodes. This way, they can wrap it up AND it will be done well. I accept your reasoning, but, I still will keep voting and will still wish for an eight season (btw thats 4 high school, 4 after-college to make it EVEN!!!!)

Boo! OTH has been great this season and has really rebounded nicely from losing Lucas and Peyton, and quite frankly, I’d much rather watch it than 90210, Melrose Place, Gossip Girl or Smallville. Also, while you have a list of shows that had fewer seasons, I have a list of shows than ran longer, and it’s one name: 7th Heaven. 11 seasons.

However, in the interest of full disclosure, I would much rather have any of the four other shows on the list back than OTH.

This show has kept me interested for 7 season because Mark Schwahn does a brilliant job in showing stories unfold and he shows tragedy in such a beautiful way. Because a show has 7 seasons doesn’t mean it has to come to an end. If fans of the show are determined and are voting constantly because they adore this show as much as I do, a stupid reason like “7 seasons is enough” is complete trash! Having Lucas and Peyton leave the show didn’t phase me one bit and personally I still adore the 7th season as much as the first. So next time you want the fans to bow out gracefully, as one of those fans I would appreciate a better reason than “7 seasons is more than enough”.

“Jammed into 4 episodes?” Wha…? Honey, there are no pressing storylines even *happening* on the show, nothing to “wrap up,” as you say. The only thing to “wrap up” is the fans’ unwillingness to let the show GO. What could POSSIBLY be said or done in another 13 episodes that couldn’t be accomplished in the final four well-planned-out episodes?

The OTH fans simply need to face a bit of reality. If anyone can possibly tell me one plot that’s still “hanging in the balance” and will be impossible to resolve in four hours, please do share.

Just because there are only 8 more episodes of LOST, and I don’t want it to end, should I be complaining that we’ve GOT to have another 13 episodes so it can “wrap up” to MY satisfaction? See the point? It’s never easy to see the end, but it does have to come eventually. Even if you got your 13 more eps, you’d be complaining next season when there were only 4 eps left that you needed “more time.”

You know, this is true. It does pain me to say, but I think OTH just doesn’t have the fire to it anymore. Especially without Lucas and Peyton, the heart of the show! I just want a proper goodbye, so if that means a season 8, then so be it!

I love this show andi agree that they’re are repetative story lines, but each one has happened differently, which adds interest. Yes, it has had a greatrun, but i dont think it should end with out a definate ending season. Iwas also a Charmed fan which almost ended in it’s seventh season and kinda on a cliff hanger, but it came back and gave all the viewers who loved the show like me in a Full 8th season closure! At the very least the OTH fans deserve that, I would love for it to go on forever but i realize that that isn’t possible.
As far as people’s opinions of the show died when they jumped to after college or when Chad and Hilarie left, then that’s fine that you think that….here’s a solution… DON’T WATCH THE SHOW ANYOME!!!!!!!!! **GASP!!**

Lastly, something this open letter fails to do is compare the show to something more its equivalent. because for 1. Jay leno isin hot water with people for the Conan BS (i’m with Conan) so it brings the show to a negative light right away 2. jay leno is a TALK SHOW HOST honestly how many celebrities can you bring on and interview before that gets old…but if you must compare it to things that have been around for a while why not bring up Charmed (also a WB/CW show!)or, going with the takl show theme, David Letterman. Honestly there’s alwasy going to be a group of people who think that some show or some person is over the hill and people who dont, the decision should stay with the majority!

OTH needs at least 10 episodes to wrap things up. There’s too much drama going on right now. You have a great point, it’s been on forever, it’s epic. It at least needs a proper goodbye. I hear the finally has a major cliffhanger and all sorts of drama goes down. Thats not a proper goodbye..blame the writers and execs, but dont blame us..it’s not at a place to end. that’s the bottom line. If it was, I wouldnt car. But I still care. And you should stop trying to get people to NOT vote for it.

i would have no problem with OTH ending NEXT season or even a 13 episode order for next season because I really do love Life Unexpected and don't want to see it go. However, it is UNFAIR to OTH's cast, crew and it's loyal fans for after SEVEN years to not give it a proper send off and conclusion.

I will never tire of One Tree Hill but as long as we get and eighth season I think it will be ok to say goodbye. although I will miss the show greatly when it goes.

Thank you for this wonderful Article. I walked away after the last episode of season 6 because it was the perfect ending for this wonderful show. It really like the show and the whole cast but Chat and Hilarie did the right thing. Marc gave us the perfect ending for this wonderful story about two brothers and their lifes but he (or the network) couldn`t pull the plug. sad but true…..

I think i will give my vote to Life Unexpected. I really love chuck but LUX is an awesome new show for the whole family. Those Shows made theCW huge (Gilmore Girls, Charmed, Everwood, Dawson's Creek, 7th Heaven). Once a week i need a show that gives me this “awwww” factor.

An open response: Most of us understand their point that the show has had a good run, but we just want the one more season so that everything is wrapped up properly instead of jammed into four episodes. That's all. We'd be happy with even a 13-episode season, which has been mentioned before. We're not asking for it to run on indefinitely– we all agree that the eighth season, should there be one, should be the last. You say the actors can go on to play other roles, and of course they can, but it would still be nice to get one more chance to see them be the characters we fell in love with. I like Life Unexpected, but it's gotten worse as it's gone on. It hasn't captured my heart in the same way OTH did, and if the actors went on to do roles on a show like that, I'd watch them, but it just wouldn't be the same. I wish everyone would please stop bashing us for trying to get our show the proper wrap-up it deserves. Thank you.

“Especially when you consider just how many shows don’t even make it to season five”
And who's fault is this? Not the shows who have 5 or 6 seasons under their belt but the newcomer's fault because they couldn't connect to a big enough audience to have more seasons.
Stop giving OTH fans crap for supporting their show! It's their show and being a fan HAS nothing to do with a rational reasons. You like a show, you don't and if OTH want to lobby for a season 8 there gonna do it! Support your favorite show and stop dissing others!

I love One Tree Hill. I've watched it from the very beginning and still watch it to this day.
But I completely agree.
While I do think it deserves a proper, ending enough is enough. I still love the show but it's been on for long enough and I think that everybody should move on.
Honestly I kind of wanted this show to end when they brought on the Nanny Carrie and Stalker brother thing.

I don't even watch the show anymore but I do sort of agree with Alyssa. Sort of. (I left when Hilarie and Chad did, even though my interest was already majorly waning by season 5). I do think this show and the people who still watch the thing should get some kind of proper send off, but with Mark Schwahn running the show, I feel like that wouldn't even happen even if he knew they were ending.

Take his past history into account. When they were likely cancelled after season 3, he ended the season in a huge cliffhanger. When they were unsure about their future after season 5, again, another ridiculous cliffhanger. Only when their future is secure and certain does he close the season well (season 4 and 6 finales). And from what I'm hearing it looks like this season might end up similarly, with no real closure even though he knows they very well could not come back for a season 8. That's not really all that respectful to the fans who have been watching for 8 straight years and campaigning to keep the show on the air. I wasn't one of those people, but everyone knows it went on. If the show doesn't get proper closure, it's no ones but Mark's own fault.

I soo disagree! I support OTH Season 8!

walk away one tree hill fans move on nothing lasts forever, you’ve already overstayed your welcome.

I stopped watching this cr@p about 2 seasons ago. If this show gets renewed in favour of gems like Life Unexpected and Parenthood I'm going to be seriously pi$$ed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL to this article.. It obvious that you don't even know what's actually going on this season, but you can't tell to all the fans in that way. If they want another last season then let it be, but I think this season should have 13 episodes to make it wrap up.

what is this article, you are seriously complaining about an internet poll for e entertainment, they have zero say if show gets canceled, this poll is fun and for fans, i say keep quiet

I just want to see Brooke have a happy ending she's the only one of the originals who hasn't gotten the man and the baby she needs something spectacular in order for me to let go and put my full support behind Parentood

I disagree 100%. OTH has been around obviously long enough for a reason. People love it. So stop bashing on a successful show. :] Its amazing ?

First, I'm an OTH fan.
Second…I'd be fine with a short season with renewal, especially if it saves Life Unexpected and Parenthood.
Third…Ugly Betty is hitting a stride by tying up everything with a pretty bow. Because they had time to prepare.

I would also like to see Hilarie return, even if just for a multi-ep run. And the show should end with a donor heart coming down to Lucas or Dan, with Lucas getting it because Dan did the right thing….

I love OTH but they should have ended it last season. It had the perfect ending with Lucas and Payton driving away.

Preach it man! OTH should've been cancelled after its 4th season.

It's hard to believe they are evening thinking of renewing this crap…it's just white kids with problems…there are plenty of other shows like it lol…FYI, I prefer Gossip Girl better

This is going to be a depressing opinion, But i dont have many friends. In fact the last time i talked to someone from school in the real world was the 6 years ago. One Tree Hill has made me laugh, its made me cry and its made me yell in angry. this show has been the highlight of my every week since it premiered. Its made me feel like i am a part of something. And while that may sound like a load and it may make you want to tell me to cry in my room and get over it…I have one more year left of school (my senior year). The senior year is suppose to be the best and most remembered with your friends. Well this show is my friend…i agree it has to end sometime but i need this show to lighten my life one last season! ONE TREE HILL NEEDS A SEASON 8!

I think if anything season 8 should be final. With only four episodes left in season 7, I don't think they can tie the ends well enough. I love OTH, it's my favorite show and has been for a long time. I watch it because I can always relate to it, somehow, someway.
I think if OTH does have to end, at least give the fans a proper ending by putting one more season, or even half a season out, to end things in a perfect manner.

WOW that is really condescending to viewers of OTH it's a show they love so why not fight to keep it on for as long a they want to most shows wish they had a dedicated fanbase like that . Keep in mind I don't watch OTH and am a big Chuck fan.

No, we wouldn't be. There are some things going on, like Brooke and Julian, that need a truly final resolution. They haven't gotten a wedding or a child yet, which is something fans would like to see. They were broken up for most of this season, and time that could have been devoted to them as a couple was wasted on drama. Now that they're back together, they need to get a happy ending. That's not going to happen in four episodes.

We wouldn't be complaining next season. You are projecting your feelings onto me and many other fans and painting us as insecure and unwilling to let go because you don't understand that this show means a lot to a lot of people. I won't be whining next season that the show needs another season, because it doesn't. And if Season 7 is the end, I'm sure the writers will give us a satisfying conclusion. We ARE facing reality, and the reality is that our show won't get a satisfactory resolution in four episodes. Do you even watch the show? If you don't, then don't complain.

Also, do you see any of us commenting on this article saying that the show should get more than eight seasons? No. Everyone here who WANTS the show to continue believes eight is enough. We won't be complaining next season because next season SHOULD be the end. We recognize that, the cast and crew recognizes that, and we would appreciate it if people like yourself could stop making targets out of us. Most of us do not say these things to you or your fanbases, so it would be great if you wouldn't do it to us. Thanks.

I read every comment on here before commenting myself and the only real problem oth fans have (besides the fact that they cant let the show go!) is that the storylines wont be wrapped up in 4 episodes!

Seriously?! I mean, come on! There is nothing that cant be wrapped up in 4 episodes besides Brooke and Julian having a kid and a season 7 car crash! Why the hell cant they just skip forward 4 years?! Isn't that what they did when the show should have ended after season 4? Charmed did it in the last episode of season 8 and it worked well. It wrapped everything up and gave the show a respectful ending (despite the fact it should have ended at the end of season 5)

It does make sense for fans to want a proper wrap up (and not leave us hanging *cough* popular and las vegas *cough*!) but theres no real reason it cant be done in 4 episodes

Especially when there are other fantastic new shows on the bubble too! Life Unexpected for instance! Greatest show ever!
This show has given us something we havent seen on tv in years and kudos to the cw for picking it up! But it needs more than 13 episodes (!) to show its true potential!

Seriously, this show is the only thing that has gotten me through some truly crappy weeks and it really is an amazing show

Sorry but the show has been on long enough to deserve a proper finale, which it won't get if it's hoisted for life unexpected. That show, let's face it, is fully of whiny unlikeable cast members…. I only watch it because it's there, I would never fight for it or vote for it.

Parenthood rocks, and I don't think it should be hoisted against One Tree Hill because it's on a different channel. And by trying to tell us that our favorite actors “may” get a job on one of the other shows to get us to vote for them, you've shown your true colors. And they definitely aren't raven blue.

No, no, I stayed BECAUSE that douche CMM left! I just want one more season to kill off Dan, have a few happy Brooke moments, and have Hayley struck mute and back to her original hair color. Thanks in advance, CW!

I've been saying since they left high school that the show should bow out gracefully. They did make a good run post high school, but now that the original cast is no longer in tact I strongely agree with the article. The only reason I still watch is because it was once one of my favorite shows. And that's really sad. Do they really want to keep a show around that holds viewers out of loyalty instead of genuine excitment?

Blah blah blah, you are just pissed because the shows you like aren't as good, and won't be continued.

Alright, here's the thing, I'm a loyal OTH fan. I love the show, and I really think it deserves an 8th season, even if it is only for 13 episodes. I also think it should be the last season. It's had an AMAZING run, and this 8th season would wrap everything up perfectly. The fans have been so dedicated to this show and to leave us with another cliffhanger would be a blow to the face. I know ppl are upset that it's been on for so long, but just let the fans have an awesome farewell. I personally believe Life Unexpected should stay on as well and the CW should get rid of other shows-not naming any names-but just let OTH have a great wrap-up, and let Life Unexpected have another shot at a season. As far as Parenthood and Chuck…both great shows…they can duke it out on NBC haha.

I'll be honest with you. I do mainly watch the show because of loyalty to the actors and the crew. Because even after so many seasons, they still manage to surprise and intrigue me and I cannot walk away from that after such a long time (plus, Hilarie asked us to keep watching so everybody in Wilmington had a job, and what Hilarie says, I do).
Will I be sad if this season is the last? Yes. Will I survive? Most certainly. I do agree that the show can bow out and let go. But I also know, that considering season 7 is still pretty great, I think the show can continue for much longer and still be good.
But in the end, all I want is a proper ending. We've had 2 seasons end that way and I'd hate to see the show go out with a cliffhanger. In the end, that's really all I want for the show.

Boooo REALLY?! I'll never read your stupid site! Seriously YOU NEED TO STOP atacking OTH! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!1

Amen!

If Smallville has 10+ seasons, OTH can have another one…

Attack is also a way of an argumenet. lol

I can't believe people actually fight for a show that is incosistence and bends all the storylines because it matches to their “vision”. The fake graduation pic, anyone? Or Jamie's birthday in season 5…in the middle of the schoool year. lol

It's not the show's fault, it's the network's fault. Because they don't care about quality and cancel great shows. The CW isn't much about quality either – a look at their schedule and what kind of shows they mainly have – and they stick to shows that are cringe worthy like GG or 90210. They put so much money into advertising GG which has low ratings.
OTH used to be a great show, imo it went downhill already after season 3/4. Season 6 would have been a grat way to end the show, gracefully. You need to know, when to get off the stage…OTH simply doesn't know, like a lot of shows actually.
I think it's only fair to give new shows a chance and not act as if OTH was the greatest show ever. OTH would have no chance on any different network, the CW just likes crap.

[...] I may have liked One Tree Hill back in the day, but I lost interest in the show somewhere in the middle of season 6. To be honest, the show is already has 2 seasons more than what it really deserves. The TV Addict writes an open letter to OTH fans to tell them to give it up already. He’s got a point. I saw a few episodes of the latest season and I didn’t like it at all. (The TV Addict) [...]

No quality show can survive, if NOBODY watches it. I hate to tell you this but networks think about making money and not how about how to contibute to TV history with outstanding but non-watched Tv shows. So being a quality TV show is not good enough to get renewed. Shows have to find their audience or they are gonna get cancelled. OTH and Life unexpected both have their audiences. OTH is a veteran that has proved itself year after year. OTH is new and cheaper to produce.
Come on, no show on the Cw would survive on another channel. We all know that the Cw loves their GG or 90210 (crap shows), so be angry with the CW, the time slot or whatever but asking other fans to vote for Life unexpected JUST because their show is older, is STUPID!!!
I'm not even a OTH fan but I will vote for OTH because I don't like being told what I can't do!!!! I think if I support a show, I'm allowed to vote for it as long as I like without being told that I'm not fair to other shows if I continue to support MY show. So good luck Life unexpected but I'm with OTH!!

this is bullshit. one tree hill is the greatest show ever. i'd like to see another show with more followers. you're stupid.

dick.

i love this and completely agree.

I know it should end but not like that. It needs a few more episodes. Just one more shot for another season. Please.

I LOVE OTH!!! I have been addicted since the very first episode! I really do not want to see t come to an end! The story lines are so intriguing. I get so caught up in the show that I feel like I'm a part of it! lol

NOOOOO! I love the new characters in ONT Quinn and Clay are just amazing. The show for me was just getting better and better! What's wrong with more seasons? I'm sure they're creative enough to think of new dramatic episodes! I want Quinn and Clay's amazing love back! They give me hope! *sniff sniff*

OTH aLLLLLL Da WaYYYYYYYYY……..
