A new One Tree Hill promo is out for the first show of the seventh season that begins on September 14th. It moves into its new time slot of 8/7c Mondays on the CW. I really did not know that OTH had been around that long!

The song playing in the background is the All-American Rejects new single, I Wanna.

Kate Voegele is one of those singers that has recently won over my heart. I love her song, 99 Times. I’ve listened to it about a million times. Now you can see Kate do an interview with the MySpace Music Feed about how she came about writing her songs and how One Tree Hill inspired her. (And as a bonus and interview and exclusive performance Sean Kingston is also on this clip.)

Kate Voegele has used her time in front of the cameras for One Tree Hill to help her shoot her new video for the song, 99 Times. Even though she says it’s a bit different in theory with filming a TV show you need to pretend the camera isn’t there, and when you are filming a video it’s all about the camera.

In the video she weaves through a bunch of guys while flirting with the camera.

“It’s supposed to be sort of like guys versus girls,” explains Voegele. “They’re any guy that’s ever messed with a girl and I’m any girl who has ever been lied to.”

And I love that either sex can relate to this song. I think there needs to be more of that out there! See the video after the jump…

Getting rid of ONE TREE HILL’S own, Chad Michael Murray, and subsequently Hilarie Burton. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
Someone explain to me, preferably over at the CW network, exactly what kind of show you expect to have minus the two characters with the biggest story plot, that the other main characters all pretty much revolve around? Because, maybe I’m an idiot but I am lost here.
It has been cited that the reason,for letting Chad Michael Murray go is financial. I personally believe that, because to just say the the show is going another direction, or the Lucas/Peyton story had run it’s course would be complete, and total ELEPHANT MANURE, and you guys know it.
So, if it’s money, PAY HIM. You get what you pay for. Seriously.
If you say you can’t afford him, then how about making some budget cuts, he’s worth it. Stop having so many guest musicians/artists/bands, I mean, really, most of them are already well known, and you have to be paying out the *ahem* for them, so STOP IT. Put them on the soundtrack, we don’t have to see them.
We know what they look like. It doesn’t add to the show, and if it’s costing loads of money, and ultimately causing us to lose Chad and Hilarie then, who on Earth needs to look at the musicians anyway? Not me.
It’s not called “One Tree Hill Where We Are Really Cool, Because We Can Book Famous Singers To Perform On Our Show And Overpay them”.
Stop supplying coffee and donuts, switch to one ply toilet paper, whatever it takes, but the money CAN be found for him. Trust me on that one. Us normal people without millions of dollars in our budgets manage to pay outrageous mortgages, you can pay your stars. Simple as that.
Those of us that are loyal fans, tune in for the original cast. Mainly Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton Do you have any idea how many fans this show is going to lose because of this, or was there some kind of lobotomy class where you all lost the common sense part of your brains?
So, those of you that have seen or heard his reaction to this, are probably pissed at me, know what? Don’t care. He knows he’s good, he knows that he deserves this, that HIS character made this show.
I’d be good and pissed off too, if I got the axe because they couldn’t afford to pay me. Think of it this way, what if your boss said to you suddenly “Oh did you see, we have in building entertainment today, catered lunches by the finest chefs now, everyone gets a massaging desk chair and company car, but we can’t afford to keep you, so as of next week, you are laid off.” That would suck right? Yeah, thought so. Maybe they should cut some of the salaries of the people in charge of the show line-up over there at CW, because sometimes I wonder if they’re actually doing it or letting their kids have at it.
My 6 year old god daughter would KNOW better than to get rid of Chad Michael Murray.
Oh while you’re at it, do you guys plan on getting rid of Clark Kent on Smallville too? May as well, because well, who needs the actual main character in any of the stories? The supporting actors will step up and make it all worth watching, as we hit the lever and flush it down the toilet. Hear that? *Whooooosh* That’s what is going to happen to Tree Hill without Chad. Get ready for it. Oh and do you hear that *click, click, click* that is the sound as people by the thousands, change channels to other networks who have enough sense to keep the people that draw viewers in.
Chad Michael Murray, is, has been, will always be ONE TREE HILL without him, you have NOTHING. No matter how talented the other actors/actresses are.
I’m one loyal fan who will not watch one more episode, after he is no longer on, and I know I’m not alone.
Chad…..Willow and Ten Gossip has your back babe!
We Love ya.

I am obsessed with television. I’m really sorry. It kind of goes with the territory though when I love to focus on television shows. The networks have released most of the yes’ and no’s for the 2009-2010 season. (I’m still holding out for Chuck!)

I decided I would pick some of my favorites from each network and tell you if they have been renewed or not (Or could be renewed or canceled). And if you find a puddle of water at the bottom of the post don’t mind it. It’s just because I’ve cried over my canceled shows. (This year though I think the only one that I watch that is in jeopardy is Chuck.)

ABC

The Bachelor – renewed
Dancing with the Stars – renewed
Grey’s Anatomy – renewed
Lost – renewed
Pushing Daises – canceled along time ago
Supernanny – renewed

For an up-to-date (after this week) list go here.

Technically I’m supposed to write ‘Ashlee Simpson-Wenz‘ but I already am annoyed by the spelling of her first name!  Simpson is allegedly going to be a “star” on the CW’s remake of Melrose Place. I say “star” because…yea. If anything, this only takes away any credibility she had. I mean, yes – she can sing alright. But she’s not an actress. Unless you’re counting her thriving career on 7th Heaven.

Why can no one think up good TV shows anymore? Do we have to remake everything? I can just hear a CW exec, “Hey, let’s do a One Tree Hill remake! Oh wait, that’s still on? Damn. Let’s cancel it and then recast with younger people already.”

THR says:  On the CBS Par-produced “Melrose,” Simpson-Wentz will play Melrose Place’s newest resident, Violet, a bright-eyed but shrewd small-town girl and recent L.A. transplant who has come to town with a secret. Her character draws parallels to the original series’ blond, budding-Southern-belle starlet, Sandy Harling (Amy Locane).

The Nielson Company has compiled data for the top timeshifted primetime TV programs of 2008 (January 1st, 2008 – November 23rd, 2008). Yay for data. But what does this data MEAN? Well, simply put, it’s like a popularity contest!

I like all of the shows they listed, with the exception of Grey’s Anatomy and Fringe, so I’m glad they all got a bump. Interestingly, Heroes DID get a bump because we were promised a better season – yet, we haven’t gotten one. I expect a decline in the numbers for the show – maybe. I can’t be sure. Ugh @ Elle, ugh @ Nathan, ugh @ Tracy Strauss!

With the explosive season finale of Bones last season it’s no surprise to me that it’s also gotten a bump in viewer numbers. The same goes for House M.D. and the Wilson/Amber storyline. I PERSONALLY didn’t care for it, but I guess others really, REALLY, did.

Here is the tally:

#1 – Heroes, NBC, 35% increase in viewership

#2 – Fringe, FOX, 26% increase in viewership

#3 – Lost, ABC, 25% increase in viewership

#4 – Bones, FOX, 21% increase in viewership

# 5 – Grey’s Anatomy (Thursday 9 p.m.), ABC, 20% increase in viewership

# 6 – House M.D., FOX ,18% increase in viewership

If you check the Top 10 Most-Effective Product Placements (Brand Opinion) you’ll see that Project Runway does very well with promoting products and websites they mention – like Bluefly.com and TRESseme (I do use TRESsemme sometimes, I love it).

In general it seems that it’s the reality TV shows that can really sell products to consumers. Indeed, that’s where most of these are, with the notable exception of products on One Tree Hill. With 2, 575 product placements it’s the only non-reality TV show that made the top ten list of Top 10 Broadcast Network TV Programs – Product Placement Activity. Now, who wants to shop?
