In a shocking juxtaposition between what you get and what you see, One Tree Hill's promos have little to do (tone-wise) with the actual episode. Each episode is full of somberness and sorrow, the angst of your twenties with some soap-opera drama. Each promo is in the 90210-style "Ten Shocking Things that Happen This Week" method, which will need to stop if this show wants to continue with its integrity. And as much as I love OTH, let's agree that its integrity is definitely compromised this season. Not only was season 8 hanging by a thread, but both Clay and Quinn barely lived from that shooting.
Speaking of the shooting nobody should have survived (they were unconscious for like 30 hours), isn't anyone looking for that Katie nutcase that shot them? What happened to Tree hill Justice? Even though Dan wasn't convicted of Keith's murder for a while, they suspected he did it, and he did go to jail. They KNOW crazy Katie killed these people, and nobody seems to bat an eyelash...
But I do like Haley taking over as the narrator. Her bookend letters to Lucas are a cute way to narrate the show and get back to the roots,back when Lucas used to narrate the show. I miss those peroxide-heads. This show cannot go out without Lucas and Peyton coming back.
I'm undecided about how i feel about the new opening credits. I love the resurgence of the credits, but there's a new version of "I Don't Want to Be" every week. It's interesting, but its not comforting.

A Note About New Fall Music I Can't Stop Spinning: Maroon 5
Although cd's aren't really the big thing anymore, I like the idea of spinning discs. I'm dropping the newest cds and the songs I'm obsessed with.
CD: Maroon 5: Hands All Over
RELEASE: September 21st
First of all,I don't know why the cd got slammed in Entertainment Weekly. could it be the new-funk/rock vibe Maroon 5 has built up since its 2007 Release "It Won't Be Soon Before Long?" It would seem to be so. I love the rock/funk/pop/soul vibe. The important theme that holds through all of Maroon 5's work is passion. Songs about love, songs about loss, songs about longing, it all comes from the same amazing deep dark place. I Can't Lie (track 6) about how much I love this cd. It pumps you up, it cools you down, and it can also keep a party going.
Most Addictive Song: Get Back in My Life/ Give a Little More.
Over and over. Still can't stop listening to them.
Sweetest Song: Runaway
Very different from the Bon Jovi song by the same name.
Song I Listen to to Relax: Just a Feeling
A tortured song with a sweet gentle melody about the absolute crush and end of a relationship.
Song that Sounds like Another Song: Stutter.
The shivers that you give me keep me freezing all night .. sounds like the themes of the later "Songs About Jane" tracks (Shiver), but more of a sharp syncopated pop beat.
Best Duet: No Goodbyes
With LADY ANTEBELLUM. Enough said. Listen to it.
Best Bonus Song: Last Chance
"The last chance that I get to love you..." with a rocking funk beat? It's got the anger of older songs but the intensity and passion too. One moment is all about hot flesh and the next is completely jumped to
Best Re/Mix: Two of the three Misery mixes: mix 2, and the acoustic set.

A Note About the Lynchpin of the Group
Bones Is Back!
I'm so glad. Here's the most shocking moments of the episode:
5. Daisy running around in her underwear to thwart guerrillas.
4. Lance looking like Jason Mraz.
3. Wendell working on a bus.
2. Angela announcing she's pregnant.
1. The lab is gone.

Another Note About Opening Credits
THEY'RE BACK!
I'm finally catching up on the season premiere of One Tree Hill, which much to my surprise, totally played the cliffhanger of Quinn and Clay getting shot off as a dream until the last possible moment of the episode, and then what happens????? OPENING CREDITS
The One Tree Hill opening credits, which were first pulled in the season three episode where Jimmy shot up the school, have been missing surely for seasons 6 and 7, and possibly a good portion of season 5 (except for the 100th episode where they filmed Gavin DeGraw singing and playing piano with little Jamie).
As is customary, there were shout outs to departed characters Lucas and Peyton throughout the first few minutes. Plus shots of Lucas bouncing the basketball across the train bridge at sunrise and a shot of Peyton's curly mane in one of Brooke's shots.
In a side note, hellcats is eerily reminiscent of One Tree Hill. Could it be the cheer competitions? The fact that Aly (Marty) looks just like a young Hilarie Burton (Peyton)? Could it be the east-coast southern location? Could it be the two former one tree hill cast members (Quentin and Psycho Derek?)

A Note About Film in New York
I am excited to report that I saw Blue Bloods, new new CBS cop drama, filming in New York today. It was a scene involving police and a diamond center (fake). I am so excited to see this episode when it airs!
I looked up the cast in entertainment weekly. Tom Selleck (magnum or Richard from FRIENDS), Donnie Walhberg (New Kid OTB and brother of Mark), and Will Estes (JJ from American Dreams, and not related to Rob Estes) are in the cast! I may have a reason to watch tv on Fridays.
