Thank you, CW, for giving One Tree Hill the finale it deserves. A two-hour long event will hopefully be enough time for us to say a proper goodbye.

The network also set finale dates for all their series, but while most of them sign off in May, there is one show that will be ending a lot earlier than the rest…

Ringer completes its freshman run on Tuesday, April 17, to make way for the premiere of The L.A. Complex on April 24. Should Ringer fans be worried that the finale is airing earlier than the others? Well, Ringer is still finishing up 22 episodes, and since there will be no repeats between now and the finale, obviously the end of the season will come sooner. Other shows will have some repeats, pushing their finales to May. Still, we won't know anything for certain until Upfronts in May.

One Tree Hill's final episodes airs on April 4 with what the CW is calling a "special two-hour series finale," complete with interviews from the OTH cast as they look back at nine crazy seasons. The only question is: what is the theme of your OTH finale viewing party? We're going with the "Tribute to Lucas Scott's Hair Through the Years" theme.

How about the rest of your CW favorites like Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural? Here's a complete list of finale dates:

One Tree Hill: April 4 (series finale)

Ringer: April 17

The Vampire Dairies and The Secret Circle: May 10

Gossip Girl and Hart of Dixie: May 14

90210: May 15

Nikita and Supernatural: May 18

American Next Top Model: British Invasion: May 30

Happy to get a two-hour finale, OTHers? What do the Ringer fans make of the early finale?
