Premise of 'One Tree Hill'

Two teenage boys share the same biological father and a love of basketball in this teen soap. Dan's son Lucas is the product of his relationship with high-school sweetheart Karen, while Nathan is his son with Deb, whom he met and married in college. When Lucas joins the high-school basketball team, where Nathan is the star, a rivalry ensues, complicated by the fact that they share an attraction to the beautiful Peyton. Also in their orbit are Peyton's best friend, Brooke, and Lucas' pal Haley.

James Van Der Beek is in on the ‘One Tree Hill’ joke

James Van Der Beek invaded One Tree Hill tonight with a wicked (and wickedly funny) turn as an oblivious, self-absorbed Hollywood director. Hmm, I wonder where they got that idea? I'd never thought I'd say this, but: it's good to see you, Mr. Leery.

'One Tree Hill's' Mark Schwahn Talks Brucas, Leyton & The New Love Triangle
Mark Schwahn gives good interview, my friends. Six years into One Tree Hill, the creator is still so passionate about his series that after just getting off a long flight from Wilmington, North Carolina where the show shoots -- Chad Michael Murray is directing his first episode right now and Schwahn went down to peek over his shoulder -- he has no problem spending over an hour chatting about it... even with a journalist who may have poked a little fun at OTH in the past.

I do not want to get back together with 'The Ex List'
I think we all know by now that sometimes I irrationally dislike a show.
