A big risk for sure! I’m seeing a lot of mixed reactions. For every person that says they hate it, another says they’re impressed and another says they’re dealing. I think the bottom line, though, is that they’re all still watching (and if they aren’t, new people are) so I guess OTH can say their risk paid off. I definitely agree with the spin-off idea. I kind of wish that’s what this was (not that that’s done well for me and BH90210/90210).

haha okay! i guess it’s a big risk for a show to take on another series without all their man cast. especially when there were a lot of lp fans out there! and few make it…but i think this show is doing successful in that area. sometimes it seems like its a spin off in a way, but i still love it.

Oh, Tiff, you are completely entitled to your opinion. I don’t mean to take away from that and I thank you for sharing it. Trust me, the show is still must-see for me too!

i think the show itself is really good still in my opinion though. even with out lp. i mean clearly, it would nice for them to still be there, but the show is still entertaining and a must see for me.
and thanks for the info!

tiff: I understand what you’re saying about someone having to be there for Clay. And I understand why Quinn felt she had to be that person. I just disagree with her choice. Unfortunately, though, I disagree with the new characters fitting it but “different strokes…” I agree with you, though, on referencing Leyton. It just makes no sense for them to be MIA in all that Naley has been going through and Brooke, too. I can just envision Lucas helping Naley and Brooke confiding in Peyton. It just very obviously feels like something’s missing. It’s a total love-hate thing for with me Jamie. Lately when he’s there, I feel like he’s saying unrealistic things. But when he’s not there (and not mentioned), that feels unrealistic, too. I also feel like we’re seeing him a lot less than in the previous 2 seasons.

In regards to the hiatuses, it’s kind of complicated. We have a repeat next week then 2 more new episodes. After that, they go on a break til January 18. There are new episodes through March 1 and then another break. Then the show comes back on April 19 with new episodes for the rest of the season.

i guess i understand the whole clay/quinn thing, i just don’t know where i stand personally. i feel like someone needed to be there for clay, and considering who he knew in tree hill, it had to be quinn. i love the new characters though, i think they add a lot to the show and it seems like they fit right into the script. i wish they would make more refrences to peyton and lucas though because in real life their “best friends” or “brother” wouldn’t just be out of the picture..
i also wish jamie would be in more of these…i realize he’s only 7 in the show, but he should know what’s going on, or at least be mentioned in “what’s best for the faimly…including jame” ya know?
i love oth this season though. i mean the new characters and stuff might repulse ppl from watching it – but i think the storyline so far is awesome. and clay is hot:)
do you know when OTH is taking their seasonal break? or whatever…you know when they have like “coming back january 23″ thing? cause i know during xmas they don’t follow through cause the views are so low..

sane, that’s a good point about the time zone difference. Unfortunately, the TV schedule/industry lives and dies according to eastern standard time (as I’m sure you all know by now). But, regardless, I do intend to make it a play-by-play recap (as best I can) so that if you do not see the episode, you have this to tell you what happened. I do try to incorporate my opinion whenever possible and I’m flattered that you guys even care what I think! And I most definitely care what you guys think–about the shows, the blogs and the site–so keep it coming!

I guess to me it is not a live blog. I live on the West Coast and your post is already up hours before OTH comes on where I’m at. So, to me it feels more like a play by play recap. Although I know you state quite a bit of your opinion in the comments, I know that I really used to love your reactions to each scene. Again, that’s just my opinion and still enjoy the blog either way.

Kevin, the sweeps period occurs 2 (it may be 3) times a year for a few weeks each time. It’s when the ratings are closely monitored and then used to set advertising rates. In order to bring up the ratings, most shows save their best material for these periods. One Tree Hill had 3 episodes airing during this sweeps period. This was the last one. Same for Gossip Girl and it will be the same for this week’s 90210.

what did you mean by “This is the third and final episode of the sweeps period.” (about OTH)? ’cause i didn’t get it…:S
