Why? Because of poor ratings. And when I say poor I mean POOR. Am I sad about this? I'm not sure. The quality of the show has really struggled these past two seasons. I'm not sure if it's the college aspect of the show or the writers just getting lazy but I definitely think the CW made the right decision in cancelling it. As much as I used to love it, I believe it was time to shut up shop.
Who I really feel bad for are the people who grew up with the show the first time around. I don't think I'd have had the heart to watch a show I loved so much be revamped and only have a few of the original characters left.
This now defunct revival got me thinking about two old favourites of mine that I would love/hate (mostly hate) to see a spin-off series of.
Dawson's Creek
The series that followed four friends Dawson, Joey, Jen and Pacey as they navigated their way through life in the small town of Capeside.
Poor Jen Lindley died from...I can't remember what from. Was it ever mentioned? Either way it was very sad. Pacey and Joey FINALLY ended up together. And selfish old Dawson got to meet his idol Steven Spielberg.
Posssible Spin-Off Story:
The 10th anniversary of Jen's death brings the rest of the group back to Capeside. Joey is now a successful anonymous writer. Still happily married to Pacey and they now have two children. Dawson, now a failed director has turned into a hermit after his meeting with Steven Spielberg didn't go the way he had planned and he has never truly gotten over Joey choosing Pacey. He continuously sees the ghost of Jen and has frequent conversations with her about how sour his life has turned out. And he is still pining for Joey which eventually leads to another Dawson and Pacey fight. This isn't helped when Dawson's sister, Lily falls in love with Joey's nephew, Alexander.
Would I watch?
No, imagine having to watch Dawson as an angsty, moody, self absorbed adult? Yes, of course people change but let's face it Dawson was and always will be a selfish b*stard. On the other hand I would love to see the marriage of Joey and Pacey but not at the expense of having to watch Dawson for another 3 seasons.
One Tree Hill
One Tree Hill was a show set in the fictional town of Tree Hill in North Carolina. It followed the lives of two half-brothers Lucas and Nathan and the relationships they shared with Haley, Peyton and Brooke. And the fact that they shared the same father who only claimed one of them. And basketball of course! This was until season six when Lucas and Peyton decided to leave Tree Hill for good and they bought in new characters.
How did it end?
Nathan and Haley obviously ended up together and their son, Jamie went on to beat Nathan's scoring record as predicted. Their daughter also grew to be super cute! Julian bought Brooke's old home for their family where they ontinued to raise their twins Jude and Davis. Who were also super cute! Quinn and Clay got married and adopted Logan (Clay's long-lost son) and Mouth and Millie got married and pregnant. Oh and Bevin and Skills got back together...yay! But there was no mention on what happened to Lucas and Peyton. Unless you count Lucas' brief appearance in an earlier episode with an even briefer mention of Peyton and Sawyer (their daughter).

Possible Spin-off Story:
Lucas and Peyton return to Tree Hill but no one will speak to them due to them leaving and not speaking. The show revolves around Jamie and Madison as history repeats itself when Madison falls pregnant with Jamie's baby. There is a also an over abundance of new characters no one cares about.
Would I watch?
No, the only way I would watch would be to see if there was a return of Lucas and Peyton. And if Bethany Joy Lenz was in it because let's face it she is an absolute goddess when acting and in person! But if there was a reunion show I bet Sophia Bush would be the only one to sign on and I don't think I could handle two more seasons of ''One Brooke Hill''.
