The WB's One Tree Hill, in their last episode, reenacted the Columbine
shooting and this is just for opinions if you think it is right that a
basically teenage drama is allowing such a tragedy to be viewed on TV.
Especially for those who lost loved ones in shooting, is it right that
they are allowing this type of viewing on national T.V.

Uniblab...
Don't stress over it - that show is soon to be a casualty of the UPN/WB
merger.


Donna B...
It didn't have much in common with Columbine at all.

Ian J. Ball...
No, but it *did* have a *huge* amount of overlap with "Degrassi:TNG's"
4th season school shooting episode(s).

Except "Degrassi" did it better. Much better.

I swear - someone from OTH must have seen the "Degrassi:TNG's" episodes
last year and thought, "Hey! We can rip this *exact* storyline off this
show for OTH! Except we'll use some guy no one's ever seen before, and
make him the shooter! And it'll be much 'talkier'! Yeah! That'll make it
better!!"

NOT.

Ian (Word to the wise - just skip the OTH version, and go right for the
"Degrassi" version (though it'll help immensely if you seen the
preceding 3rd & 4th season episodes first)...)

I watched a little of this show's first season and was SHOCKED to see
in the promos that the characters are still in High School! Why don't
the producers learn this kind of thing isn't really important, its like
on The OC where all the kids drove in the first season yet they're all
still in High School.

..
Garondo Marondo!
