5 Most Disappointing Storylines of Television (In Mel's Opinion)

(In no particular order, they all suck). 


1. Robin not being "the mother" on How I Met Your Mother

• Ugh really HIMYM writers? You totes screwed up in the first episode. I honestly think they underestimated how popular Ted and Robin's relationship would be and the chemistry Cobie and Josh had. And here is an actual quote from Craig Thomas, the co-creator: "Cobie (Robin) should have been the mother. We screwed up.”  NO SH*T!!!!! They were too presumptuous and trying to fool us too much and they ruined the possibility of her being the mother before they got to know the characters. That being said, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIMYM and find it one of the best comedies on TV right now. It is one of my favorite shows. Even though Ted and Robin aren't together (right now) their friendship and the friendship of the core 5 is awesome and makes the show. Still, I really hope that, even though Robin is not the mother, she and Ted still end up together in the end (i.e. the mother dies, they get divorced, etc.). I really think they should be endgame. I'm with Marshall, it's not over. "Not Yet."

2. Dawson and Joey not ending up together on Dawson's Creek

• Now I haven't seen a lot of Pacey and Joey together, because I am a diehard DJ fan. However, I do think that they are an okay alternative to DJ being endgame. The problem I have is the way the finale ended things and the route it took. They keep you guessing the whole eppie who she will choose, then they make you think it will be Pacey in the kitchen-spaghetti scene. Fine. But then don't throw that dumb "we are soulmates" crap in there! Sue me, but I think if you are going to call each other your "soulmate" than you should end up together. Whatever.

3. Mike Delfino being killed off Desperate Housewives

• I find this storyline especially irksome. How dare those writers kill off one half of the main will-they-won't-they couple of the show? Don't get me wrong, I love Carlos and Gabby, and Lynette and Tom (yeah, writers, you screwed that one up, too). But Susan and Mike made the show from the beginning. When they flirted over her terrible mac n cheese in the pilot, you just knew they were going to end up together. That is, until high-and-mighty Marc "I do what I want and what will be cool, not what the fans want," Cherry decided Mike had to go. SERIOUSLY? Even Teri Hatcher is pissed about this. Not cool, dude. 

4. Owen cheating on Cristina on Grey's Anatomy

• This was just, stupid, unnecessary, and out of character. Don't the writers have enough to do with Owen's PTSD and his disappointment in Cristina not getting an abortion? Can't they have drama over that for a couple of episodes and still come out stronger? I just don't see them recovering from this, which is annoying because Cristina was finally happy for once. This relationship wasn't nearly as destructive as her one with Burke. I am not the biggest Chrisowen (sure?) fan ever, but I personally hate to watch Cristina sob an entire episode. (Seriously, when Sandra Oh cries, it really freaks me out, I don't know why). I guess at least we will get some cute Mer-Cris friendship stuff out of this as Mer attempts to fix her person. But still, stupidd.

5. Lorelai and Christopher getting married on Gilmore Girls

• This is what happens when the show creator leaves the best show ever in the hands of someone else. UGHHHHH. I literally am still so angry about this, and it happened like 5 years ago. WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY MARRY LORELAI AND CHRIS? It was literally so dumb and just drove Luke and Lorelai together home even more because the second she got home from Paris she looked disappointed with herself. It was just another dumb plot to keep Luke and Lorelai apart for another season. What really got me though, was that we had to sit through that marriage and never even saw Luke and Lorelai get married. All we got was a kiss in the last 5 seconds of the finale and a promise that they would prob be together. Oh, TV writers, sometimes you frustrate me to no end...

Well, this are the five that I came up with right now. I am sure there are more, but right now that's all I got. Clearly, I get irritated when television shows do not go as I have planned. Sorry I'm not sorry. 

The "College Conundrum"

In tonight's post, I will be discussing what is known as the "college conundrum." What's the "college conundrum," you ask?

Definition:
college conundrum- n- a situation a tv show finds itself in after their characters have graduated high school and they don't know what to do next. Tonight we will look deeper and see which shows have successfully solved the "CC" and those who should have just opted out.

1. Dawson's Creek: Oh beek from the Creek, I love you (and your new show b.t. dubs!), but Kevin Williamson should've done something else besides send you guys to college. Time jump (see #2 One Tree Hill), ended the show, or the cheesy 'everyone attends the same college magically' storyline (see #3 Saved By the Bell). Instead we have Dawson across the country at film school (doesn't last), Joey at some made up Massachusetts school, Pacey God knows where, and Jen and Jack (and Grams, actually-odd?) at the same made up school as Joey (I think? If not they go to another made up Massachusetts school). This situation just leads to boredom and stupid storylines (i.e. Mitch dying-GASP-poor Gail) and drags out the Dawson-Joey thing another 2 years. This storyline also leads to Busy Phillips's character, who I could do without. (No offense, Busy, you're great and I'm glad you got on the show so you and Michelle Williams could be bffls and everything, but the only time I have use for you is when you drive Pacey's fancy car in the Leery household at Christmas-so great). Other than the epic Christmas drive-through, I usually get bored watching season 6 (haven't attempted season 5 yet), which leads me to say that Dawson's should have opted out of the whole college thing.
Final Verdict: FAILED

2. One Tree Hill- MS actually chose right here (love you, Mark!) and decided to skip the whole college thing. We get to relive it through flashbacks, with Nathan, Haley, and Lucas sharing an apartment amidst raising baby Jimmy-Jam. Brooke used the time to create the C over B empire (still don't know if she went to school or not), while Peyton hid out in California and continued to be emo at a record company or something. This was the perfect scenario because we know what happened in those years but got to miss the dull storylines that could have ensued. #winning . Plus we get to skip to Jimmy-Jam age 4 and meet the adorable Jackson Brundage (heart you, Jack!)
Final Verdict: PASSED

3. Saved By The Bell- Don't judge me, but I enjoy SBTB The College Years. Don't get me wrong, its no Bayside High, but the fictional school all of these characters magically all attend together leads to a rabble-rousing good time. The first episode is worrysome, but then Kelly Kapowski herself shows up and saves the show for the rest of the season. Meaning the will-they won't-they between Zack and Kelly saves the show for the rest of the season. We also get the lovely additions of Alex and Leslie, who are enjoyable in the small doses of screentime they get. I also enjoyed the absence of Jessie "I am an extreme in your face feminist" Spano, although I did miss Lisa the fashionista.
Final Verdict: PASSED

4. The O.C.- I haven't seen that much of this show, but the parts of the "college years" I have seen have not made me want to jump on the O.C. bandwagon or anything. I do know that Marissa is gone (dumb, move Mischa), and that there is pointless Seth and Summer long distance drama. Should've done a time jump because the best episode is the finale in which there is a time jump and we get to see the happy Jewish wedding of Seth and Summer and Ryan help a mini version of himself.
Final Verdict: FAIL (ish)

5. Gilmore Girls- GG was able to work with the college years by having Rory go to school only 20 miles away from home. This was really the best of both worlds, because it didn't really change anything about the show (except add the hott and adorable Logan-BRAVO!). Lorelai and Rory continued to have separate storylines (like when she was in high school), but they also were able to share some storylines still, too, which made it work. The show stayed true to itself (minus the Christopher-marrige horribleness...UGH...so dumb! But, another story for another blog, I digress) and reminded us all that the mother-daughter relationship was the core of the show. Great job, GG!
Final Verdict: PASSED

So what have we learned here? There are many ways to approach the college conundrum, and creativity is key. Don't try and be realistic and send characters who are friends all off to different schools, because while that is what actually happens, it unfortunately makes for bad television.

Things I am Always Going to Think of Now When Watching Old OTH

Thinking back on the last nine years of OTH, so much has changed that I can no longer watch the old episodes about giggling about something that is to come. (And I mean that in a good way). Seriously, after all of the crazy storylines MS has thrown at us, I can't help but laugh at the irony of certain situations. Like...

• The incestuous relationships. Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, Nathan, Haley. They have all been involved at one point or another, and by the end of the series its just comical. Like, hey Sawyer, do you know that Daddy has had sex with your godmother? Lydia, did you know that Daddy slept with Aunt Sawyer and Aunt Taylor? Or my personal favorite: Jimmy-Jam, did you know that Aunt Brooke and Dad had a sex tape in high school? 
• Sad, lonely, scared and upset Brooke. Oh, Brookie, I just feel so bad for you in the majority of the first seasons. You are adorable and try to be fun, yet the world (meaning the OTH writers) just loves to consistently shit on you. Your best friend constantly cheated on you with your boyfriend. I mean I know Leyton are soulmates or whatever, but still, at least wait until he's done with Brooke. I just want to give you a hug and say "JULIAN IS COMING I PROMISE! HANG IN THERE, B DAVIS!" (Also, have faith because Haley will become your bffl later on and be even better than Peyton ever was.) Still, all of that crap has made you a better friend and mother, so good for you. 
• CLAY YOU HAVE A SON! (The cutest one ever, too) Seriously, dude, maybe if you spent less time in season 7 hooking up with endless girls and then romping naked on the beach with Quinn, you would remember you had a son. Also, I totes found a continuity mistake when I was rewatching 7x01 the other day. Clay gets on the phone and says "Mom, I'll have to call you back." I'm sorry, but if his mom was really around like that she would totes tell him he has the cutest son ever and reunite them. Sigh, but whatever. 
• Dan Scott is really a good guy. WHATTT???? Now, whenever I watch an old episode, I can't even hate the man. I try to get angry with him for being a tool, but now all I can picture is his Rambo-ing through the Russian basketball lair. That scene really reminded us all that, just like Brooke said, Dan Scott is a "total DILF."
• Chris Keller helps save Nate's life. hahahahhahahaha Guess its payback for Season 3. 
• Skillz and Deb hook-up. In the Scott family pool. HAHAHAHHAHAHHA. Can't look at Deb the same anymore without thinking-dude you had sex with your son's high school friend. Wonder if he told Bevin after they got back together?

So, there are obviously many more and I will update if I can think of some. Gives me another excuse to watch OTH :)

Don't Trust the B...But trust the Show

Tonight me and my friends decided to tune in to the pilot of Don't Trust the B in Apt. 23. Needless to say, we were thoroughly pleased. Here's why:

1. Utter Hilarity. This show is not afraid to offend people (i.e. Chloe getting the 13 year old boy drunk) when it comes to being funny. It is genuinely hysterical and the humor is there without trying too hard.

2. Dawson's Creek References: The Paula Cole, the plaid button ups, the "Beek from the Creek" comment. None of it got old. I sincerely hope the Dawson's references will continue. (Here's to hoping Katie Holmes guest stars-I. WOULD. DIE.)

3. The cast: Krysten Ritter (Chloe), Dreama Walker (June) James (no-not Lafferty, sigh.) van der Beek (himself) deliver and make their characters funny but likable. Ritter plays the bitch part well, while still retaining a level of humanity and extreme loyalty to her friends (just ask James about Vietnam). Walker makes June kind but not too much of a goody-goody that she's annoying. She can play the bitch card, too, which is why we all know she and Chloe are going to get along. And James, sweet sweet James. Well, Dawson has definitely lost his bicycle (serious points if you understand that reference). James is out in the real world and using his Dawson-ness to get girls into bed. #winning . His career is also in the tubes (hence the Japanese energy drink commercial).

Oh #Apt23, I have a feeling this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. To quote Sister, "I am ON BOARD!"

Grey's Anatomy: Rawr.

Tonight I am doing something different and blogging along with Grey's as a watch.

Let us begin.

• MerDer/Zola- adorbs. Actual lion-not so adorbs. (WTF is going on this week?).
• Cristina/Owen- fighting (don't really care).
• Teddy- at widow's support group. laughing. Ted, you're going to get kicked out, girl. Drop the medical talk and grieve, DAMMIT!
• Mer/ Cristina friendship- great. "I was staring at Simba." hahaha. (cue "Circle of Life."
• Cristina and Owen both trying to use Mer for help.
• Derek and Meredith talking about lion and no one cares.
• Lexie worried about Mark and Juliana moving too fast and moving in together (me too, Lex. TEAM MEXIE!).
• Chief (oh wait...erm, Dr. Webber) and sexy Avery fighting over lion victims. Oh doctors, you never have any sympathy for the injured; instead you fight over them like the last pair of Steve Madden boots on Black Friday. 
• Medical talk. Standard grossness.
• Oh Kirby the lion, your mom is worried, come home soon. 
• Teddy looking to the future. Okayyy.
• Some girl leaving, I don't know who this is but I have a feeling that she hooked up with Arizona at some point by the awkwardness that is ensuing. 
• Alex and Morgan! I think they are cute but I'm sure Alex will pull the standard Alex jerk move and be a jerk to her. Yupp, he wants off the case because he is actually liking this girl and he is freaking out. 
• Yeahhh, he def doesn't mean it. 
• Mer got in on the good surgery-shocker. (don't get me wrong I love Mer-fave character, but she always gets the good stuff).
• Owen stop talking to her bffl, talk to your wife, dude!
• Go Mer-protect your person!
• On a side note, why do all of the same people get all of the good surgeries. These people can't be the only doctors in the hospital-yet they still always get the best stuff. Oh wait... I know why, it's because it's a tv show and they all are extremely good looking. 
• Callie panicking over Arizona's ex chica. 
• OMG it's Doyle from Gilmore Girls! Where's Paris, Doyle? She could've saved you. 
• More standard grossness.
• Teddy and Cristina working together. Maybe they can bond over the fact that Owen kinda messed up them both? They are scrubbing hearts or something. Oh wait, growing hearts.
• Oohh, they have new pagers! Fun! I miss the glitter one though, what ever happened to that?
• Baby Grey is still working with Derek, who is in full sexy bad-ass mode. Damn, I just want to touch his hair.
• Lexie discussing Mark's gf with Derek. Awkward... glad they stopped. 
• April in over her head-this has never happened before. 
• Standard Old couple. OMG the Gilmore Girls appearances continue! It's Season 2 Mia! Bed and breakfast? I wonder if they were staying at the Dragonfly? Oh they saw the lion. Dang, that lion was making the rounds (hehe medical pun).
• Here comes the standard who were your exes talk where it only makes everyone upset. 
• Wait when did Callie hookup with Karev?
• Bailey can't grasp the concept of a pet lion. Me either, Bails.
• Bailey can't sense the awkward tension between Mer and Owen. Oh wait, now she gets it. That's it, Bails, just ask for suction. But no amount of suction is going to suck the tension out of that room. 
• Commercials are so dull. Thank God for Pinterest to entertain me.
• Jessie Williams (sexy Avery) just showed up on my Pinterest. Again, thank God for Pinterest. 
• Mia from Gilmore Girls is worried about her husband having a heart attack. I hope Luke and Lorelai show up! They can all go see whales together!
• Lexie is wayy too nervous tonight. Girl, you have a photographic memory, just think of Mark naked and move on! 
• Aw Derek said he's her big brother-precious. Even though he said he wasn't right then, it was implied. Cute.
• Cristina's doing something with test tubes that Alex and Avery came to see (Note to self-growing hearts lures hott men to your side).
• Lexie comparing herself to the lion lady metaphorically. Standard.
• Cristina reminding them it's not a lunch room. Good protocol. 
• I will be very sad if Morgan's baby dies. 
• Morgan just wants Alex. Come on, Alex, come back and save the little baby. 
• Nope, Alex just ran away. Not nice. 
• I would watch Scandal because it takes place in DC but I don't think I am emotionally prepared to handle another show right now. Maybe in time.
• Chief and sexy Avery working on Doyle in the O.R. Callie compares the guy being mauled by a lion to Arizona having past lovers. Man, these doctors are kinda selfish. And now Chief wants to keep the lion tooth, I rest my case.
• Mia from Gilmore Girls has an IPhone and I don't. Sigh. And now she's being cute and sad. 
• Derek is in take charge mode. Doing surgery and clearly is a Mexie fan. Telling Lexie to make a move. Yii!
• Morgan Intern is texting Alex by the hundreds (with profanity). 
• Please don't let this cute old man die.
• Owen, drop it. Leave Mer alone. She didn't know, dummy. 
• Oh and now Bailey knows, too. Perf.
• Cristina is still trying to grow hearts (I feel like there's a Grinch or Tin Man joke here somewhere, but I can't think of one right now). 
• I really hope we get a Mexie kiss tonight, but I think that is sadly only wishful thinking. Shonda makes us work for our 'ships on this show (think about it-it took MerDer like 6 years to be happy). 
• Titanic commercial. Wait- what movie is this? Never heard of it. 
• Oh good, Mia from Gilmore Girls' hubby is prob going to be okay.
• Asking for names is a bad idea, Callie. Didn't you see the One Tree Hill episode about this?
• Okayyy, Arizona was a slut. 
• Doyle, dump this girl and go find Paris Gellar again. She won't make you do anything outdoorsy or get mauled by a lion.
• Chief, raising morals left and right. Cue inspirational music and white-knight references.
• Wait-Chief just said bastard??? Odd.
• Oh Avery, you're a bad liar. 
• Alex, what girl is going to make you drop the jerk act and be nice? Izzie did for awhile but now you are uber-jerk again. I like Morgan, she can call you out on your sh*t; drop the jerk act for her. 
• Nope, you're not going to drop it. While you have solid points, Alex, you could be a bit nicer. 
• Mer brought Cristina a fro-yo treat. What are persons for? 
• Nooooo! THEY KILLED MIA FROM GILMORE GIRLS? REALLY? If she is actually dead this is the saddest thing ever. 
• Damn you Grey's for always making sad old people storylines!
• Wait, was that Lark Voorhees on the McDonald's commercial? I hope so!
• I guess Alex did what he had to do? But I hope they get together at some point. 
• Doyle is reunited with lion-lover and she only cares about her lion. And she's blaming Doyle who saved her. Wow. Dump her ass, Doyle. This woman is cray-cray. Good job.
• Yes, Avery, idiots attract.
• Callie is studying Arizona's past lovers. 
• "Everybody's got a past." No one knows that more than Mark Sloan. 
• HAHAHHA Mark just called himself the "golden boy." My life is now complete.
• Wow this is sad. Poor Mia's hubby. This is why I could never be a doctor. This, and the fact that I hate science. 
• I just want to give that old man a hug. But I think he was put on the show to help Teddy grieve, so at least he has a purpose. 
• Damn, I miss Teddy's hott hubby. He was a keeper. But sadly, he wasn't a doctor, so Shonda had to give him the boot.
• Bailey being forgiving and kind to Owen. 
• I still can't believe Owen cheated. Stupiddd.
• Poor Teddy. If it makes you feel better, you're a bad-ass widow.
• MEXIE! Pleaseee makeout in the elevator. Or the parking lot. 
• SKIP THE CHARTING LEXIE GO MAKEOUT WITH HIM! ughhhh
• Chief has quite the collection. This is really weird. His "tribute to the idiots." He likes idiots because they give him cool stuff. Once again, sometimes these doctors are selfish. 
• Aww Zola is adorbs. And now she has a lion. 
• Derek, you can rawr for me.
• haha "If you ever cheat on me, I'll kill you."
• Aw MerDer- so cute. You're all I care about. (and MEXIE).
• More awkward silence at the Yang-Hunt residence. Sigh. 
• OMG SHE THREW HER CEREAL IN HIS FACE! hahahhaha #winning Cristina.
• Looks like they finally fight next week. Mark is chief? Oh boy. 

Well, that was fun. I think I am going to do that from now on with Grey's. Probs not other shows though because most other shows I have to focus more. Thanks for reading my random musings!

OTH Finale:

Can't believe it's over :( wahh. So upset. In withdrawal already (good thing I have all of the good seasons on dvd-minus the Dark Days part 1 and 2 aka seasons 2 and 5). But anyways, I want to briefly blog about last night's epic masterpiece.

I loved all of the Naley (obviously) and was squeeing when they brought up the old Naley stuff like always & forever, the bracelet, the crack jax, the mac n cheese, and the rain. OH THE RAIN! That kiss was adorable and sexy at the same time (something only Naley can pull off); what a great last kiss.

Brulian was cute as well, loved that he bought her her old house (on Tattersalls Drive in Wilmy by the way) and glad we got to see a final shot of Davis. Julian "cawing" was also adorable because we were reminded again that Julian is sweet yet dorky.

Quay also stole the show (meaning Logan did). When he called Quinn "Mom," OMG cutest thing ever. I just got disctracted by thinking about how cute it was again and immediately had to youtube and watch again. My Lord, that was precious. Quinn's face said it all.

BEVINNNNNNNN. so happy to have her back. And Skevin (Skillz and Bevin) were reunited- #winning.

My absolute favorite part though, was the second to last part. As soon as I saw Gavin, I turned to roommate and said HE BETTER SING I DON'T WANNA BE! Well, he finally did. That part was seriously the best because the core cast was all together and all belting the lyrics. Right there, for that song, it was the cast onscreen, not their characters, and I absolutely l-o-v-e-d it. They all looked so happy and proud (rightfully so) and I thought it was the best OTH scene ever. At that point, I sat back, sang along (don't judge-you know you did too), and reveled in the last eppie ever.

Thank you, OTH, I love you and will miss you dearly!

1 Day to Go...Here's to the #1 City in America

Wilmington, NC is one of my two favorite cities in the US (the other is Washington, D.C. in case you're curious). I absolutely love it there (so does Sister-we want to co-own a beach house there when we're older).

Around fall 2009, I got it in my head that Sister and I could go visit Wilmington for vacation the next summer. However, there were many rumors that OTH wasn't coming back for season 8 (oh we proved them wrong-huh!). So Sister promised me that if it got renewed for season 8, we could go visit Wilmy.

As we watched the season 7 finale, I became very concerned. Everyone was ending with happy storylines (Naley expecting Lydia, Brulian engaged, Quay cuddling on the coach). Luckily, this happy life stuff ending in the last 5 seconds, when Crazy Katie gunned down Quinn and then Clay. Now I'm sure most viewers screamed at the TV; I did as well. However, my scream was more like a cheer and I immediately jumped up and down because I knew that meant that it got renewed (that or MS just ended a show killing 2 main characters a la Marc Cherry-not cool, dude). But, luckily, I was right and OTH renewed! I screamed at Sister: "Wilmington, here we come!"

We arrived at Wilmington the morning of August 3, 2010. After getting our rental car and getting checked into our hotel, we decided to head straight into downtown Wilmington. The first thing we saw was Clothes Over Bros (for those of you who don't know, the show actually owned a store and store front in Wilmy, where they filmed both Karen's Cafe and C over B), which was my favorite place to see! (Seriously, I took a picture there every single one of the 5 days we were there. The first day when we saw it it was covered in plastic and they were pumping air conditioning inside. We soon realized that means they were about to film!

So we continue to walk around downtown Wilmington, which is absolutely gorgeous. Kind of like a Savannah, Georgia old-town feel. We are walking around, and suddenly I see a giant group of girls and young people surrounding someone in front of a restaurant. I see the back of the girl from afar, and turn to Sister, "Is that Kate Voegle?" She responded in a calm yet freaked voice, "Mel, that's Sophia Bush." We then power walked/ ran as subtly as we could over to the group.

Sophia Bush was standing outside of the Dixie Grill (brunch place where they film-think Sam, season 6), chatting amicably with fans, signing autographs and taking pictures. Never mind the fact that it was like 90 degrees outside and she most likely had a schedule of some sort. She stood out there and talked with us and took pics with us. She was absolutely hysterical, making jokes about her engagement ring (Brooke's), saying, "this is a prop! Don't start those rumors." She was absolutely adorable in person and the nicest ever. We only had to wait like 5 minutes until we got a picture with her!

We had been in Wilmington not 3 hours and we actually met Sophia Bush! My day (and year) were made! We then heard that they were filming at C Over B again, so we headed back that way. We were walking right in front of the store, when, lo and behold, Daphne Zuniga and Lisa Goldstein walked right by us! It happened so fast I almost didn't notice, but sister did and we watched them get into a white van and drive away (they had been rehearsing and were going to relax before they filmed). We got to watch them film from across the street, and Sophia came outside a lot because she was filming walking into the store.

We walked around a bit more, and then we drove over to the Rivercourt! So awesome! (although they recently tore it down :(.) There was fan graffiti all over it and all of the benches and basketball hoop poles were signed by fans which was really cool.

The rest of the week, we took our rental car and our GPS and went all over Wilmy looking for places they had filmed. Before we left, I had found a website with a bunch of address of places they had filmed, so we used that as our guide and drove all over the city. Some of my favorite places were:

The bench where Naley had their first study sess :)

Lucas' house:

Tric:

The bridge from the song:

The Riverwalk:

Brooke's house: (note the red door)

We also got a tour of ScreenGem studios, where they film all of the interior stuff, which was really cool. We could not take pics there unfortunately, but we got to see the downstairs of Naley's house (they have a real pool in the studio by the way), Red Bedroom records, and the downstairs of Brooke's house. Sooo coool!

We did get to take pics outside, which is where I got these of the Tree Hill cop car and studio door:

I took many more pics on our trip (at least 200), and it was def my favorite vaca ever! I really want to go back some day, even though they aren't filming there anymore because I love the city so much! So much that I decided to dedicate finale-eve blog post to it.

I still can't believe OTH is ending tomorrow. Will be a very sad day, but I am happy this great show has been on for 9 years!

Thanks for reading! I am off to watch Dance Moms for the next 4 hours (don't judge) Happy finale-eve to you and yours!
