    The CW really made a mistake in not cancelling this show. One Tree Hill has survived tough times and fought for renewal when it most likely did not deserve it (based on ratings) but now the quality is so lackluster that it should just be put to rest.

    The storylines have all been done to death and even a basketball-heavy episode like this did not entertain me in the least.

    I am a huge Brooke fan but enough is enough already. Is she any better than her mother by constantly screaming at her and shutting her out? Nope.

    The one good out of this is that Sam is gone (hopefully) and that Peyton and Lucas will be as well very soon.moreless

    It has been quite a while since the last time I was motivated to submit a review to an OTH episode. If it was 2 years ago, OTH would still be my fave TV show around but now things have changed and I guess I am done with blaming the storylines anymore. Let's face it, the show has been going on for 6 years now(and quite obstinately renewed for another one) and like any other thing that outlasts its quality time, OTH was doomed to lose its originality. What happened in the case of OTH, it jettisoned its humor, its lighthearted spirit and its vigor somewhere in the middle of season 5. It trapped itself to a dark corner and sadly consumed all the available exits. Season 6 was slightly a better attempt to clean up the mess the whole 5-year-forward idea created. However, the maudlin tone has been pursued and the drama element which was utilized only as a side component through season 1 to 4, became the sole element in the subsequent seasons. Does episode 22 ''Show me How To Live'' diverge from this soap-opera approach? No. But it signals there are dramatical changes laying ahead. What we witness in this episode is that there will be a tide waiting for Lucas and Peyton and possibly the season finale will be interesting to watch. Unfortunately I could hardly relate to the opening scene where Peyton was filming a video for her child-to-be. It was Dawson's Creek all over again. Jen Lindley moved me once but Peyton Sawyer could not do the trick as the whole conversation sounded so repetitive, unoriginal and uninspired. But what ''Show me how to live'' lacked in its opening scene, it made up for the baby showering scene. It was moving and all of the four leading ladies nicely performed their parts. The other positive things to jot down about this episode were the Jamie-Lucas interaction and the scenes including Brooke, Victoria and Sam. On the down side, Skills dating with Jamie's teacher was out of place and irrelevant (plus rather tiresome to watch at times) and basketball is no longer the basketball we cared and loved in Tree Hill high school. Yes, OTH is no longer one of my fave TV shows but I still like the idea of having it around. And since I have no expectations and an accompanying low interest towards the show, I quite enjoy it from time to time.moreless

    Show Me How To Live actually brought me to almost tears. First, it was Peyton. Sad, scared Payton. She was making a video for her baby and talking about her best friend and giving advice on life, then Lucas walks in, and it gets even more emotional. Second, was Brooke and Sam. I hate the fact that Sam chose to go live with her mom instead of being thrilled that Brooke wanted to adopt her, it is upsetting. Also, I see how Victoria is somewhat trying to be a mother to Brooke, yet I still don't quite buy it. Victoria is Victoria and I doubt she is going to change any time soon. The baby shower was so adorable! I liked how Nathan and his old rival are friends now, he is moving up! Skillz was funny as always. And Jamie and Lucas bonded. Overall, it is a 10!moreless

    I thought this episode could've been better. the whole date thing, did not fit anywhere into the episode at all I mean yea it was kinda humerous at times but not necessary in my opinion. it was cute when Lauren came back to the apartment and gave him a kiss. I loved how Jamie was looking at aunt Payton's artwork just like Lucas did lol haha sorry just had to bring that up. Nathan's scouting days are getting somewhat kinda boring in my opinion and why was Mouth there? I thought he left his character is also getting annoying as well. I thought the episode sucked without Dan or Deb lol I missed there comical seens together. I loved that last seen with Brooke and her mother in the store "it's going to be okay honey" I thought that was really touching but Brooke is correct on that point I agree with her 100% and I also thought it was halerious when she was "trying" not to shop with her daughter.. just thought that was great. anyways that's my opinion. unti next week.moreless

    This show never ceases to amaze me! I am utterly obsessed with it on every level! Tonight was awesome. I couldn't help but cry every time I saw Peyton. So heartbreaking! Leyton forever! And Sam will be back... she has to be! Julian and Brooke are meant to be a family with Sam as well! Nathan and Haley are adorable! Jamie is super cute and I think it's time they add another kid to the mix (hint hint). Skills and Lauren are cute together too. It's about time Skills got his. Then, Mouth and Millie are back together, the way it should be. Last but not least, Mia is amazing! I love her character on the show! Keep it up Mark Schwahn!moreless

    • Being that Chuck is kind of a Tim Smith character it made total sense when Skills announced he had been "Chucked" because they were "Timmed" a few times through out his run on the show. Edit
    • Samantha becomes the girl behind the red door when she moves in with her birth mother. Brooke, her foster mother, was the girl behind the red door when she was in high school. First at her parents' house and then when Lucas painted his door for her when she moved into his mother's house. Last of all in high school she was the girl in the red bedroom when she and Peyton painted their room red to reclaim Peyton's security. Note: Brooke was also the girl behind the red door when she lived in the apartment at the beginning of season 3 and the end of season 4. Edit
