What do you think of the new format?

I feel that them fast fowarding 5 years is the right thing to do with the show. The name of the show being "One Tree Hill" is because it's about those that live in One Tree Hill. So to bring the show back with them off in college in other towns would kind of take away from the name of the show. I just don't think I like the idea of not starting the new season until January.

sounds cool =) Do you know when it will start again, has it been decided yet?

I think that it's a great idea because it'll allow them to explore different plot lines, character developments and formats for the show. Because if they chose to show what it would've been like for them in a college setting, I think they'd be trapped or confined into having the same situations or characters in the high school one. And that would just be boring. So the fact that it will begin five years later where a lot of things would have undoubtedly changed would be much more interesting, I reckon. And more realistic I guess to explain why they're all together in the same town again, as opposed to all of them going to the same college afterwards (like how it was in Dawson's Creek). So yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to the next season although I am wondering if they'll have another season after this one, because then it won't really be much of a teen-oriented show would it?

i'm a bit unsure. I don't know if it'll flow well enough for me. How will they let us know what has happened with every character in five years? I know it'll probably work but i'm just not convinced! Still Can't wait for it to come back on though!

I'm kinda skeptical when in comes to this new format but i'm still hoping it comes out ok. I didn't like the last season as much so I'm hoping this change will capture my weaning interest in this show.
