It is 9pm on Saturday night (yeah I know you are reading this on Tuesday, I’m trying to be ahead of the game.) Anyway, that doesn’t matter. My husband is in bed because he is 85 (and we have to get up early tomorrow to dog sit) but I’m going to live dangerously, and stay up. So, here I am on the couch, just me, the cat, and the DVR.
Oh look, 5 episodes of One Tree Hill.
One Tree Hill is one of those CW shows that has been on for years and is now in its final season. It is one of those shows that you see and say, “That show is still on TV?” (Smallville, which finally ended!)
Now, I was never a big One Tree Hill fan. I never jumped on the Chad Michael Murray train.
He is too pretty, don’t you think? He has the Justin Bieber androgynous thing going that makes me question if I’m into girls.
I started watching this show when I worked retail and I would have days of in the middle of the week. Since, I didn’t have anything else better to do I would watch The Soap channel and they showed 4 episodes a day.
I finally committed the show to my DVR 3 years ago, and things were OK, for a while…
Which brings me to my question. When a show goes to shit, why do we feel this loyalty to continue watching it?
One Tree Hill had a half way decent season finally and they should have just left it alone. But no, they just had to squeeze out one last season. This final season is crap! But, I feel like I’m obligated to see it through. So here I am, elbows deep in this melodramatic bullshit, where one of the main story lines is Minkus (Boy Meets World shout out!) getting fat. Oh, and every sing characters life is blowing up.
What is wrong with me? I need an intervention. I’m not proud of it, I swear I watch quality TV.
