honestly yes. before i ever watched it i hated it. i thought it was stupid and that i would NEVER watch that show... but there was nothing on tv one day, and i watched two episodes from the 1st season on soapnet and i fell in love :)

me too naley_4ever, hah. I thought it sounded like a cheesy teen soap opera so I never gave it a chance - but my friend kept telling me how great it was. I was flipping channels one day and saw 3.22 and it caught my eye (the limmo accident). So I started watching it after that cause that was a heck of a season finale. I think that once I started watching s4, there were also s3 reruns and once I saw 3.21 I was hooked! but season 2...what a joke. that's when I really thought the show was dumb! S1 was amazing. and s5 was one of the best yet.

me too^^ i totally made fun of my sister for watching it...and i said i would never watch that lame show.... but than i saw the one where haley gets run over by a car and my sister had season 1 so i started watching it... but soon after she got the rest and i became addicted.....but i didn't see all the episode of oth until like a day before the 5th season started..

The first time I watched it I saw episode 2x05 at my friend's house and I remember cracking up laughing and I thought it was SOOO Stupid. I was like "Married? IN HIGHSCHOOL? What a joke!"
And, I agree with all of you. I thought it was some lame soap opera, but one day there was NOTHING on and so I flipped it on again, thinking I could get a laugh, and I saw I think it was like 1x11 and Peyton still had feelings for Lucas and I was like... hmmmm, and then another episode came on like a week later on soapnet and I watched it (It was the one where Brooke finds out about Peyton and Luke from s1) and I got really into it. I didn't even CARE about naley.
Then I started watching them on the computer, got hooked to the naley relationship and the brucas relationship, bought all the seasons on dvd and became the fanatic I am today :]

same as naley_4ever i used to watch the o.c. on soapnet like everyday and it always showed commercials about one tree hill and it looked boring but then one day i was like hey, what the heck i'll just watch it. and ever since then i have loved the show.

nope first episode i watched was season 3 finale and cause there was so much drama i had to watch the next episode to find out what happened to rachel, nathan and cooper :P so from then i loved itt! <3

i actually hated it when Luke went over to Brooke that night to tell her that he loves her but she was with Felix...i was so mad that i stopped watching it and started again after a few months when my anger went away lol!!sorry for that Brucas fans..i was a bit overreacting haha!!i too though think that season two was a bit boring comparing to all the others seasons..

Season 5 pissed me off a lot!

I was obsessed with The OC. And I was convinced that it was so much better than OTH. Of course started watching the show and fell in love with it!

how can anybody be able to hate one tre hill

Yes, I don't like it now. I prefer the earlier seasons.
