I thought that the show's pedigree alone would draw bigger numbers. But in this day and age -- especially with the post-strick dirth of programming -- how stupid is NBC to pull it from the schedule? When will they learn that sometimes, shows need time to grow? I hope when it shows up on Bravo, the ratings surge and NBC winds up looking like the myopic morons that they've proven time and again to be. Kristen:

Brooke continues to be the only character I care about at all - I'll watch it just for her until the very end. Peyton is a petty, childish, unlikeable character - she's become the Marissa of OTH for me and most people I know. The only time I could bear Lucas was when he was with Brooke, but apparantly the writers have decided we should forget they ever even dated, let alone were completely in love. I don't mind Nathan and Hayley but the nanny storyline has been written in such a cliched way that I can't watch those scenes. I really like Lindsay actually and wish she wasn't only sticking around to drag out the will they - won't they of Lucas/Peyton.

And let's not forget that the secret to any good soap's longevity is the ability to weave new characters into the canvas. Obviously, as a new viewer, I'm not familiar with the show's histroy, but I can't say I find it misogynistic. And it's the first time I've ever heard that particular complaint about the show.

The first season of the show was just generic teen fluff, but still watchable. But now, I think it's deteriorated into a mess. The fast forward was okay, but then in this episode, they decided to pull out the chickfights. It was just unnecessary name-calling for no reason. With this show's track record, I was surprised no one got punched. Not to mention the fact that the season is being wasted on Lindsay, a character who is inevitably going to leave the show anyway, and the girls are fighting over a boy who doesn't even deserve it.

You're too funny! The show's target audience is females under 34. Reese, you sound like a real pleasant and positive person. I hope you enjoy watching your non-mysogynist shows like Two and a Half Men and Family Guy and chickfightless shows like ANTM and PCD:Girlicious. OTH misogynistic?!? You’re too funny!

Their misogynistic treatments of women is offensive and embarrassing. Chickfights? Really? Over a douchebag a-hole who's not even worth it? No thanks. Not to mention the showrunner is a talentless, overly sensitive tool. One Tree Hill continues to suck. Their misogynistic treatments of women is offensive and embarrassing. Chickfights? Really?

Although I'm sure the producers are happy to see a lot of the explicit action, as a fan, I'm left with an overwhelmingly dirty feeling this year. Anyone else feel the same?
