Random 'OTH' Fact
Gavin DeGraw performed the theme song "I Don't Want To Be", which was used for the first four seasons of the show. When the show fast forwarded four years into the future for the fifth season, the theme song was removed.

Each episode now begins with a black screen and the logo for the show. Previously the 'black credits' were only used for episodes that featured sensitive/violent subjects, or if an episode was too long.
