I can’t believe it, but I have started watching One Tree Hill again.  Absolutely ridiculous.  I thought that I was done with WB teen drama shows for life for several reasons: 1. nothing will be as good as Dawson’s Creek  2.  the WB went out of existence and became the CW or something like that and 3. I attempted to watch this particular show and after the first or second season decided it was just getting too ridiculous and that I could no longer relate to it since the characters were younger than me, yet dealing with issues such as pregnancy, death, and marriage.

Why the change of heart?  By some weird coincidence I managed to catch the 2 hour season premiere last week and, lo and behold, they skipped ahead four years.  Four.  That means they are my age.  And I can relate again.  There are still some points that are a bit ridiculous (ummm Brooke’s fashion company is successful enough at age 22 to work from Tree Hill, buy a house, and back Peyton’s new record company?  Please.).  But I’m willing to overlook these things because 1. everyone on the show is still super hot 2. music and fashion dominate and 3. they are still technically at the same point in their lives as me.

So for now, long live One Tree Hill.
