Manny: the only truly great thing about super overrated ABC sitcom Modern Family is the creepily mature, naively proud and generally delightful stepson/uncle/brother Manny (Rico Rodriguez). One Tree Hill: Julian’s adventures into brohood, Nathan’s willing decent from superman status, Brooke/Haley bonding time, some fun Skills moments and a good campfire nanny Carrie story= one very […]

On tonight’s One Tree Hill, Brooke Davis had to get rid of the disaster she hired as a spokesperson. So her bright idea was to start speaking Spanish until the girl got so confused that she just left. That’s the best comically bad idea I’ve heard since Friar Lawrence killed Romeo and Juliet!

Season Wrap Up: One Tree Hill
  Kelly Bedard

One Tree Hill is nothing if not a gutsy show. With recent casting news indicating the exit of central couple Lucas and Peyton (Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton) from the show, the perpetual shark-jumping CW series will head into its 7th season without its main stars. A risky move indeed, but I have a […]

The Greatest Product Placement Ever (did I just say that?)

If there’s one thing One Tree Hill knows, it’s how to stay alive. A pure entertainment show with few claims to artistic legitimacy, One Tree Hill is the perfect place for that horrible product placement brand of advertising that television audiences loathe so much. So, while many shows of lesser ridiculousness have been killed off […]

Anything to do with Ryan Walker. The big haired manipulative brat is possibly the worst thing to ever come out of a Berlanti show. He’s badly written, REALLY badly cast and just a general nuisance on an otherwise lovable show. Addison Montgomery’s sex life, or that of the people she works with (except maybe Cooper’s). Someone please […]

I have no reasonable explanation for this but I’ve recently taken to watching incredibly bad TV shows on a regular basis. It started with Big Brother and One Tree Hill. I’ve always watched them (the residual effects of being 14 at exactly the wrong time) and have comforted myself with the reassurance that I’m allowed […]

Remember the kid who had film posters arranged on his wall in order of box office gross? The kid who believed that the answers to all life’s questions could be found in a Spielberg film and that it was possible to find From Here To Eternity kind of love. That 15 year old hopeless romantic who […]

Well, That Was Fun.

I just spent an hour watching this week’s One Tree Hill and thoroughly enjoyed myself. There was funny karaoke, cute little kids, sweet budding romance and lovely family bonding (fiancees, husband/wife, brother/brother, father/son, uncle/nephew). For the first time in a long time on this series (ever?) I like everyone. I could do without Marvin and […]
