 I love One tree hill August 5, 2008
Basically you are rating the season and I am not saying this was the best OTH season but I would say top 2.
 Great Season August 4, 2008
Season 5 of OTH ended up a lot better than I thought it would be. When I first heard that they were fast forwarding 4 years, I thought that it was a risk and something that no other show has done before. It worked!!! With so many shows featuring the college years, it was nice to see these characters grow older, and experience life when it really begins. Although most weren't any wiser, it was nice to see what they had done with their lives, and where they are still yet wanting to go. If you are a OTH fan, this season won't disappoint you.
Guilty pleasure. July 30, 2008
I was never a fan of One Tree Hill until I started watching season five. The first four seasons were pretty immature and inconsistent but I actually enjoyed every episode from this 4 years in the future season. Instead of making the gang all go to the same College, the writers decided to jumpstart the teens 4 years after they graduated high school and see what happened to their characters in bewtween. Some flashblacks are used to fill in the gaps but mostly the show stays true to the present time. Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton probably have the strongest and complicated characters and the cliff-hanger was definitely worth watching the whole season, I highly recommend purchasing this almost flawless season, enjoy!

I have been an avid viewer of "One Tree Hill" since the very first episode. I started watching the show as a replacement to the great "Dawson's Creek" (which ended several months prior to the release of Tree Hill), but I wasn't hooked for almost the entire first season. But then in the second season the writing got sharper (and franky more "out there,") the cast gelled together, and the rest is more or less television history. But to be perfectly honest this show should not have been the hit that it has become. But there is just something about watching these 6 teenagers live out the lives of adult, while the amazing dialogue that captures people and refuses to let go.
As a DVD reviewer once said: "High School Dramas are not made for high schoolers, they are made for the people that didn't have the high school experience they wanted." And "One Tree Hill" is the epoch of this discussion. And this is what makes the fifth season so special. After focusing on the groups High School years from seasons 1 thru 4, Season 5 fast-forwards the action 5 years, with all the kids living their own lives, much seperated (and grown up) from their 18-year-old alter-egos.
Whereas many believe the show would have out-right failed had season 5 progressed into the groups various freshman year of college experiences, it instead shines. The cast is allowed to play their own ages, and the viewers are able to see what happens when the real world comes into play. Every character has learned the harsh lessons that come with college and finally moving away from your parents/home town. The characters have finally learned how life can be without a security blanket. But alas I don't want to give away too much.
The start of season 5 finds Brooks as a very famous and wealthy fashion designer, Peyton as a struggeling record assistant, Lucas as a writer turned basketball coach, Haley starting her first year of Teaching English, and Nathan realing from a crippeling accident. But as fate (and the television producing gods) would have it, within three episodes the entire cast is back in Tree Hill for various reasons, and the series begins to progress from there.
The fifth season DVD include all 18 episodes from the strike-shortened season that aired from January until June 2008 (including the 100th Episode), with Unaired Scenes, Three Featurettes (one focusing on the 4 year jump, another on the 100th episode, and an other on the music), two episode commentaries (the season premier & 100th Episode), a gag reel, as well as a digital copy of each episode to watch on your computer/IPod. The episodes are spread across 5 discs and are presented in 1.78:1 Widescreen with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound.
