Wow. As a One Tree Hill fan since its inception, I'm not sure how I feel about the show being renewed for another season. The show is dying the slowest death I've ever seen.
According to CW president, Dawn Ostroff, the network isn't ruling out the possibility of a season 9, considering how well the ratings are holding with the way things are going creatively.
”We have a big wedding coming, and the episode is going to be
fantastic," Dawn told Rob Owen of Star News Online. "Mark Schwahn -- bless that man. I don’t know how he does it.
He’s as enthusiastic about the show today as he was when we formulated
the CW. He loves what he’s doing and is still able creatively to keep
the show in a place where the fans are really satisfied. He seems really
satisfied, and we’ve been thrilled with it.”
OK, but is that enough for a ninth season?
“Possible,” Dawn said. “I
could never say no given what this has been. Every year it’s, ‘Do we
think it can get picked up again? Do we think it can go?’ And every
year… we pick it up. You never count Mark out. Every year he comes
back, and he’s made the show better.”
True. Granted the show recycles plot lines like crazy, this season is one of the best in the last few years. Every year we think it's done and POOF, it comes back.
When asked if they might move One Tree Hill to Fridays to replace the soon-to-be dead Smallville, Dawn said it never crossed her mind.
“I don’t know,” she said.
“We hadn’t really thought about it. If we brought One Tree Hill onto
Friday it would be a different way to go (on that night). But haven’t
even looked at anything for next year.”
I'd rather them kill the show than bring it to Fridays. We all know that's where shows go to die. If that's the case, just kill it off please. Not to mention, One Tree Hill has been major lead-in help to other shows (cough cough Gossip Girl cough cough), so it seems like a pointless waste.
What do you think? Do you wanna see another season or should the show just end with season 8?
