One Tree Hill: Season 1 (Repackage)

When I first heard about One Tree Hill, I was intrigued because I had heard of Chad Michael Murray, and I really wanted to see if the show was worth watching. It was. The Pilot was... well bad. No point denying it, but like someone else said, I saw potential, I saw a show that had a heart, I saw characters that were interseting and could be explored, and wasn't just about who was slept with who one week after another. I know that it has constantly has been compared with both Dawson's Creek and The O.C., and I for one don't find it even on the same level as either, much less worse than them. I never got into DC. O.C.... well, OC is entertaining, but at the end of the day, I can't relate to any of the characters like I can relate to the ones on this show. OC is so completely unrealistic, and lack of heart and soul is seriously killing it.One Tree Hill is about two half-brothers, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty), who share the same father, Dan (Paul Johansson), but different mothers, Lucas' mom, Karen(Moira Kelly) and Nathan's mom, Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods). The show basically revolves around the two brothers and the girls in their lives and what they deal with everyday. Dan left Karen their senior year of high school after he found out that she was pregnant with Lucas. He went off to college and met Deb, got her pregnant, and the two later got married and had Nathan. Keith (Craig Sheffer)is Dan's older brother and has always had feelings for Karen, although those feelings haven't been reciprocated. He's also been like a father to Lucas. Peyton (Hilarie Burton) and Brooke (Sophia Bush) are the two girls that both loved Lucas last season, they were best friends, and Lucas liked Peyton, then went out with Brooke, then cheated on her with Peyton, just to put it in a nutshell. Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz) is Lucas' best friend who falls in love with Nathan.Someone said that they think James Lafferty is the most underrated actor on the show, and I just wanted to say that I agree with you whole-heartedly. At the beginning of the show, he was the biggest jerk in the world, and I love the journey and development it took from him being an ass to him being a really loyal and wonderful boyfriend. I find it very sad that he is so underappreciated, and that everything is always focused on Chad. But James can play both the ass and the sweet boyfriend incredibly well, and I for one really want to see what the future has for this young actor. One of my favorite things about the show is the relationship between Nathan and Haley, they are so perfect for each other, fit so well, and James and Bethany's chemistry on screen seriously crackles. Their storyline and the development of how they started going out is truly spectacular writing and I can't wait to see what the writers have in store for them.Another thing that I really enjoy about this show, is the variety of songs that they play. A lot of shows just play the "biggest hits" of the season on their show just because that's what they are, the biggest hits. But have absolutely nothing to do with what's going on. You can really tell that the producers spend time to make sure that the songs that they choose for each individual scene, to make sure that it fits perfectly and that it has actual relevance to what's happening. And they don't just play one genre like other shows, they have a variety of different groups and types of music that I have come to love and look forward to.

When I originally heard about the show "One Tree Hill" I couldn't help but think that it was going to be nothing more than a rip-off of "Dawson's Creek" which was one of the WB highest rated shows (and ended it's 6 year run 4 month before "one tree hill" premiered). But as a fan of the WB I tuned into the Pilot of the show. And the Pilot was bad, but it showed potential so I continued to watch the show and after about 8/9 rocky episodes, the show finally found it's footing and starting slowly to becoming one of my favorite shows on the air.The show is about two brothers who grew up in the small town of tree hill and yet they barely know each other. Luke, who along with his mother was abandoned by his father before he was born, is the outsider; while Nate, who his father considers to be his only son, grew up to become one of the popular kids in school. But when Luke join's Nate's Basketball team, the two brothers beging to breakdown the years of walls their father has put between them.Warner Brother's has put together a really nice set, releasing it a little earlier than usual (they usually wait til at least the third season of a show to release the first on DVD). The Set comes packaged the same was as all of Warner Brother's other WB sets (bookstyle packaging). The Special Featuresing include Commentary on 4 episodes, A Making-of Documentary, a Behind-the-Scenes Featurette, a Music Video, Gag Reel, and 48 Minutes of Deleted Scenes.

Well when the show began on television, I didn't really watch it. I don't even know why I looked it up on the internet but all I know is that once I watched the first episode is that I was hooked and that I would have to own it. And I do now and hopefully I will own the fourth season pretty soon.All I can say for those who are thinking of buying it is that you should. I mean this series, especially the first season never gets old. I don't know how many times I have watched episodes over and over again because they have grabbed my attention like no other series has. And that's the thing about One Tree Hill: the first season that all the characters grow up like normal human beings should.So if you are ready to cry with the characters, scream in frustration for their lack of thinking, and laugh when they do, then this is the series for you. Just beware, once you buy the first season you won't be able to stop once its over and you will find the need to buy the second season and the third and so on.

I thought this was going to be another dumb teen show but actually it's way different then I thought. The story lines are written so well and different I keep getting addicted one episode after another. It's about 2 brothers dealing with the fact that they have a different mother living in the same city. You followed through ups n downs just like it was when I went to high school. You are able to connect to some of the storylines and that is important. I was introduced to the series by a good friend I decided to give it a try and now it's all I can think about and wondering if it will make it to the new CW network. Honestly, it's was of the best shows I've seen and haven't like a lot of shows since Sex and the City. I've cried a lot of times watching this show and I enjoy every moment. It would be a BIG disappointment if it got cancel. A PERFECT SHOW!! After watching the 1st season by borrowing it from someone I know I automatically bought both seasons after. Try renting it first and I bet you'll be addicted too!!
