Left-Right-Left-Right-A-B-One Tree Hill

Apparently, in the next episode of One Tree Hill, which I have never watched, and of which I know absolutely nothing, everyone will be a The Sims? Perfect. It's 2002, so this stunt seems right on time to me.

So this show is all about people standing in their backyards? There is an awful lot of standing around in backyards in this promo. "What are you guys doing today?" "Standing in our backyard, duh." We are, too." "Not me, guys, I'm going to go sit in a hospital waiting room." "Weirdo." That's a scene from One Tree Hill, probably. There's no way to know whether or not that's exactly what a scene from One Tree Hill is like. Is that guy the weirdo of the show? Why is he in the Sims hospital? Has a Sims been hurt? Oh no! Get well soon Leroy Jenkins! (That's basically a Sims, relax, nerds.)

I like when the promo says "Don't Miss It!" because it makes me laugh, and I love laughing. Oh, don't miss a show about backyards that I've never watched because I've never thought "I wonder what would happen if we picked up where Dawson's Creek left off" that has been co-opted as a promotional tool for an upcoming rehash of a nine-year-old videogame about sleeping and buying groceries? I PROMISE NOT TO MISS IT.

Or have them try and make a toaster pastry with only one level of cooking skill, wait for the fire, and then take out the doors of the room. What, just me?

Make sure they call the maid service, or those piles of ashes are going to lower their happiness levels!

No man. I would even put in smoke detectors, just so the firemen could arrive and scream "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO! THERE'S NO DOORS! WE....WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING! *sob* WE CANT DO ANYTHING!" except in simlish, all "ERSER ROHARNAH NOMAR BRAHOO GAAAAAAA"
and so the crushing reality for the Sim inside begins to sink in.... that there is noone to help him. that there is no escape. this this will be the place that he dies.

I like The Sims because it helps imaginations to grow!

Don't forget the Christmas Tree and the cookies in front of the fireplace so Santa can teleport in from the North Pole.

Hilarious but FAKE. Episode 6.18 does not, in fact, feature avatars:

God, I can't believe I actually put effort into investigating the authenticity of this. What have I become?

I'm such a nerd, but I just want to say: Gabe, I 100% appreciate the title-joke.
