I would have to agree I loved OTH and dodn't miss any of the episodes I even starting watching them on the internet as they take a while to get to the UK. I got bored of it all after the first 3 seasons and didn't mind missing episodes. Then when Lucas and Peyton left it kind of lost the point of the show as it was about the brothers that was the wrong reason behind the show. I am kind of wathing the last series at the moment but I have missed a few and I am a little confused so much going on I do not know what is going on. There is so many new characters, which you do have to bring into a show but somehow that has just made it annoying to me. I will watch the ending just to see wat happens and then that is a other show over, which I used to love.
