The 8 Best Quotes From The Guy Who Let One Tree Hill Shoot At His House

The 8 Best Quotes From The Guy Who Let One Tree Hill Shoot At His House

GQ has an awesome essay (via Vulture) from John Jeremiah Sullivan, a normal guy with a legendary house: His neo-Colonial residence in Wilmington, North Carolina, became Peyton Sawyer‘s house on One Tree Hill. From prom-night kidnappings to cookie-dough fights, his house saw it all—and was somehow miraculously clean when he, his wife, and their infant daughter would return from the hotel in which they stayed during these dramatic shoots.

Confession: I’m a 30-Something Man Addicted to Teen Dramas

Confession: I'm a 30-Something Man Addicted to Teen Dramas

I’m a man who deeply values his dignity. I cling to it, actually. I won’t dance, I don’t sing in public, and I refuse to drink through straws. It’s a cloak I wear; one that I imagine protects me from the crippling judgment of my community. In reality, dignity is just another word for conformity; it’s a way for society to determine what is, and what isn’t acceptable behavior. For a man my age (let’s just say early thirties and leave it at that), dignified pursuits include resume building, home-ownership, procreation, and participating in fantasy sports leagues. Unfortunately I do none of these things. In fact, one of my most cherished pursuits would be considered decidedly undignified by society at large. I am a man (in his early thirties as previously stated) who’s addicted to teen dramas. More »

Camp Week Video Gallery: The Best Camping Episodes from TV

Camp Week Video Gallery: The Best Camping Episodes from TV

Summer camp: It’s one of the greatest universal experiences for our generation, what with the adventure of going away from home for a week or two and all of the different people we meet. So it’s no surprise that TV shows jumped on the bandwagon to put their characters into the great outdoors. The characters from One Tree Hill, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Family Guy, and more bond, run from bears, lose weight, and hook up. Yep, sounds like camp to us. More »

Gallery: The 10 Hottest WB Characters

Here’s a question I never know how to answer: “What’s your type?” I mean, how do you respond to that without seeming like a totally judgmental jerk? So I usually say that I don’t really have a type, but secretly, I know it isn’t true. Thing is, I totally do have a preferred variety of male, and it’s the boyfriend characters from the heyday of The WB. Jess from Gilmore Girls, Ben from Felicity, Eddie from Dawson’s Creek: beautiful, secretly sensitive bad boys who totally, like, read books and stuff. So here they are in gallery format, those prime examples of my type: the ten dreamiest WB characters of all time. More »

‘One Tree Hill’ Star Chad Michael Murray Wrote a Graphic Novel

'One Tree Hill' Star Chad Michael Murray Wrote a Graphic Novel

Apparently Chad Michael Murray is trying to shake off the role of Lucas Scott by reinventing himself as a writer. He penned a cheesy 1940s episode of One Tree Hill in 2008 — and now he’s branched out into comic books. His official website added a page for Everlast, the supernatural graphic novel he’s been working on for nearly a decade. More »

‘One Tree Hill’ Continues to Support North Carolina Strip Clubs While Shooting Season 9

'One Tree Hill' Continues to Support North Carolina Strip Clubs While Shooting Season 9

Before The Hunger Games, the state of North Carolina mostly dealt in overblown teen dramas: One Tree Hill shoots almost exclusively there, hiring college students (like Lilit’s sister!) to play extras as well as patronizing local businesses. One of those establishments? Pure Gold, a gentlemen’s club that has featured heavily in the show’s history. Every few seasons, there’s a plotline where the gang heads to the strip club, either to check out the entertainment or because they’re forced to take the stage themselves. Let’s review all of the underage, unclothed goodness. More »

How to Keep the ‘Glee’ Kids on TV After they Graduate from McKinley High

How to Keep the 'Glee' Kids on TV After they Graduate from McKinley High

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has said that Rachel, Finn and the rest of the gang will be graduating at the end of season three because “you can’t stay in high school forever.” Ha! It’s like he’s never watched TV. Maybe Mr. Murphy can learn a thing or two from the writers of these high school dramas. Because they sat down in a meeting, looked at each other and thought, what would Boy Meets World be without Shaun and Corey?, Buffy without Xander and Willow?. The answer: hollow, empty, shells of TV shows. And if Glee were to become a hollow shell, there’d be a damn echo to deal with as well. More »

Snap This: That Time My Sister Was an Extra On ‘One Tree Hill’

Snap This: That Time My Sister Was an Extra On 'One Tree Hill'

One Tree Hill, like Dawson’s Creek before it, films in Wilmington, North Carolina. Often, students from UNC – Wilmington get drafted into being extras on shows that are taping in town. My sister, Stephanie Marcus (who pops up occasionally around these parts), a UNCW alum, did a couple of rounds as an extra on One Tree Hill. Blink and you’ll miss her – she’s at the 27:32 mark in this episode. The episode, “Just Watch the Firew More »

Has the School Shooting (As Seen in ‘Beautiful Boy’) Become a Genre in Pop Culture?

Has the School Shooting (As Seen in 'Beautiful Boy') Become a Genre in Pop Culture?

The 1999 Columbine massacre was by no means the first school shooting in the United States, but it has become iconic due to the brutality of the event and how Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were supposedly influenced by violent video games. Now, the “school shooting” has become a TV plotline, a film tragedy, and the subject of multiple songs. With the release of the drama Beautiful Boy — and We Need to Talk About Kevin wowing audiences at Cannes — we look at which details and tropes crop up again and again in pop culture. More »

Crushable’s ‘One Tree Hill’ Season 9 Predictions

Crushable's 'One Tree Hill' Season 9 Predictions

The CW decided to reward its mainstay One Tree Hill — usually on the bubble each season, the show performed well this year — with a renewal for season 9. Mark Schwahn‘s bizarre soap gets only 13 episodes, which will start airing in January 2012. That’s a pretty good indicator that this will be OTH‘s final season. More »

Gallery: 8 Great TV Graduations

Gallery: 8 Great TV Graduations

There are ways to make what seems like the decades long graduation ceremony a little more bearable. You can decorate your mortarboard, hide silly string up your gown sleeve, or make up elaborate chants for when your friends accept their diplomas. Then there are the less conventional ways to make commencement memorable: marriage proposals, meteors, a fight to the death. I suggest going with silly string. However, these TV shows – from Buffy to 90210 – each had their own special way of dealing with high school’s crowning moment. More »

7 Notable TV Crossovers

7 Notable TV Crossovers

When we interviewed Liz Gillies at the Victorious press junket, she mentioned that her show would be doing a crossover with Nickelodeon’s other big earner, iCarly, called iParty with Victorious: “It’s wild and fun, and there’s a really cool guest star.” With the special airing on June 11, Nick just released a behind-the-scenes video of stars Miranda Cosgrove and Victoria Justice, plus their respective casts, performing a mash-up of their theme songs. Yep, they take the idea of a TV crossover very seriously. Oh, and Kenan Thompson is gonna be on it. More »

Video Gallery: The 9 Most Absurd Storylines from ‘One Tree Hill’

Video Gallery: The 9 Most Absurd Storylines from 'One Tree Hill'

Shakespeare it ain’t, but Mark Schwahn‘s ludicrous teen soap One Tree Hill has managed to hold my attention for nearly all of its eight years on The CW. Why? Because it has the most absurd, inexplicable, wtf-worthy plotlines and reveals. It is just too crazy not to miss. But if you don’t want to wade through all the set-up to get to the absolutely off-the-wall moments this show is known for, then check out our gallery. (Case in point: The all-girl pillow fight that somehow finds its way into almost every season’s opening.) More »

Jack Quaid and Leven Rambin Cast As Marvel and Glimmer in ‘The Hunger Games’

Jack Quaid and Leven Rambin Cast As Marvel and Glimmer in 'The Hunger Games'

District 1 has its tributes: Jack Quaid (son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan) and Leven Rambin (Sloan’s daughter Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy) will play Marvel and Glimmer in The Hunger Games. In the series, District 1 is one of the richer districts because it manufactures luxury goods for the Capitol. In keeping with the lush lifestyle, the children receive strange names. But don’t think they’re softies: Katniss nicknames the District 1 tributes “Careers” because of how they band together during training. Of course, there can be only one champion. More »

Video Gallery: ‘Trust’ and How Hollywood Thinks We Interact on the Internet

Video Gallery: 'Trust' and How Hollywood Thinks We Interact on the Internet

David Schwimmer‘s second directorial feature Trust is a riveting cautionary tale about what happens when an innocuous Internet friendship translates to real emotional danger in real life. It’s also probably the best portrayal of the Internet and social media that has come from film and television. In the almost twenty years since the Internet became mainstream enough that Hollywood incorporated it into storytelling, we’ve seen digital communication portrayed as deadly, oversimplified, schlocky, and cringeworthy. And then a few filmmakers/TV writers completely get it. More »

The CW is revealing its updated series schedule for 2010-2011 to advertisers in New York City this morning. These splashy presentations are known as “upfronts,” wherein networks unveil their new lineup and ad space is bought and sold. Crushable got a sneak peak at next year’s sked:

Chad Murray Michael Is Comical

Chad Murray Michael Is Comical

Honestly, every one of these guy celebrities with three names confuses me: Anthony Michael Hall versus Michael C. Hall? Couldn’t tell them about for the longest time. Chad Murray Michael – he’s the one from One Tree Hill and Dawson’s Creek (which I just had to remember from checking IMDB.com) – is trying to escape from the three-name curse that I just made up by working on his graphic novel Everlast…for the last six years. The book, set to be… More »
