Season 5 episodes (18)

1 4 Years, 6 Months, 2 Days
1/8/08
It's been four years since the gang left Tree Hill, and many things have changed. Lucas (series star CHAD MURRAY) has published his first novel, "An Unkindness of Ravens," and now works on his second. Along with Skills (series star ANTWON TANNER), Lucas also coaches his former high school basketball team, vowing to take the squad to another championship. Peyton (series star HILARIE BURTON), who is at the beginning of a budding music venture, loved two things when she graduated from high school: Lucas and music. But did leaving Tree Hill for an internship at a record company in Los Angeles change her mind about either passion? Peyton's best friend Brooke (series star SOPHIA BUSH) has been chasing her dream of becoming a top fashion designer with her clothing line Clothes over Bros. Four years later, Brooke finds herself at a crossroads; she has found some success, but at what cost? Nathan (series star JAMES LAFFERTY) and Haley (series star BETHANY JOY GALEOTTI), young parents who are trying to find their way, have also endured highs and lows -- particularly those of Nathan's career path -- but they have balanced this journey with the joys of parenthood as they raise their young son, Jamie (recurring guest star JACKSON BRUNDAGE - "Las Vegas," "Einstein Pals," "Lime Salted Love"). Enduring his own struggles, Mouth (series star LEE NORRIS) continues to chase a career in broadcasting but is finding the on-air business to be cutthroat and difficult.

In the series premiere, Tree Hill is a new place. Much has changed in four years; but, in many ways, the journey is just beginning.

About this show

Aside from their love for hoops, Lucas and Nathan seemed to have little in common. But the two young men are bound by the fact that they share the same father. The star of the basketball team, Nathan Scott (series star JAMES LAFFERTY) was raised to inherit his father's throne amidst popularity and wealth, while his half-brother, Lucas (series star CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY), was raised in modest surroundings, the only child of a single mom. When Lucas joined the Ravens team, his transition into Nathan's world created a love triangle with Peyton Sawyer (series star HILARIE BURTON). Although she was Nathan's girlfriend at the time, Peyton felt an instant connection to Lucas. Complicating things even further, Peyton's feisty best friend, Brooke Davis (series star SOPHIA BUSH), quickly set her sights on Lucas as well. And it didn't take Nathan long to notice Lucas' best friend, Haley James (series star BETHANY JOY GALEOTTI), an intriguing girl who helped bad-boy Nathan become a kinder person.

The show is one LONG music video, every song has to seep with the dialogue and scenes, gets annoying. Show perpetuates the cat fighting, overly jealous, stalking girlfriend/women; it's insulting. Every girl looks like the skinny model pretending to live normal lives. Tells girls that good men only look for "hot girls" to be their wives. Show is capitivating for all the wrong reasons: be jealous, be overly possessive, and lose yourself/identity in your boyfriend/husband. Don't watch.

I could and have gotten lost for hours in Tree Hill. There is so much more to this show than meets the eye. It's not just about teenagers finding there way, it's about seeing the magic in a world that often tries to break you down. The characters are so easy to relate you but there is more to it...The literarure, music, and sports related monologues turned life lessons are also important parts of the narrative of this show. No matter how many times I watch and rewatch each episode I still love this show!

It's sooo awesome when it's a reality check with life's learning lessons for a teenager, young adult - hood that has challenges, and then the growing pains of becoming an adult/parent(s) with responsibility. Love it
