Spoiled Rotten Teenagers on CW Shows This Fall, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Privileged & 90210

The CW network has teen drama favorites One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl rolling out for a new season (starting with Sept. 1 premiere). Plus the new dramatic series 90210 (debut Sept. 2) and Privileged (debut Sept. 9), offer more torrid teenage tales focusing on a bunch of spoiled rotten kids.

Surprisingly, Chad Michael Murray, who stars in One Tree Hill, has raised his voice to tell parents that they need to monitor those shows for the younger viewers who have embraced them.

At the Fox Teen Choice Awards, Murray reported that he believes today’s stars should try to be good role models, but the ultimate responsibility falls to the parents. “Right now in our society, kids are being raised on images in magazines and television. And I think that someone needs to decide at what particular age they should be allowed to watch certain television shows. Somebody just needs to be there to watch them,” Murray explained, noting that’s the parents’ duty.

The seriously likable fellow added that if he had the opportunity to talk to every teenager in the country, he would ask them to show more respect for their moms and dads.

That’s one of the biggest problems, “there’s a lot less respect for their parents, to be honest. And I think that needs to be addressed. If I had the opportunity to talk to them, I’d tell them, the next time their parents ask them to do the dishes or do their homework or mow the lawn-- don’t make them ask you twice. When you go home tonight, you should give your mom and dad a big old hug and kiss.” That goes a long way in creating an atmosphere of respect and appreciation.

Murray acknowledges that there are a lot of big issues going on in the world. “We all know about being green and helping to save the environment. And who’s going to be the next president of the United States. That’s great, but let’s think about the bare basics. That starts with the kids and how they treat their parents.”

Regarding what he does to help the environment, Chad sheepishly admitted he drives a Hummer.

Also in his personal life, Chad revealed he has “a really great girl in my life who isn’t just pretty, she’s my best friend. And she makes me laugh. I’ve never really had a girl who makes me laugh before. So for all the girls out there who think that being funny isn’t sexy-- you’re wrong.” What’s the secret to their relationship? Chad smiled and said, “It’s finding someone who’s my buddy. And we don’t live in Hollywood.”
