Hmmm...interesting news coming out of this week's upfronts (during which networks present their Fall slate of new and returning TV shows).It appears that time may be running out for the CW - the barely two year old network put together Frankenstein-style from the rotting carcasses of the WB and UPN. This is slightly scary news for me since I have a vested interest in several of the CW shows, which would promptly die should such horrible fate away the network. Apparently the ratings have nosedived between 24 - 28% from last year, which wasn't too much to write home about to begin with.
This despite the major buzz for their critically well received pilots such as Gossip Girl (my new favourite guilty pleasure) and Reaper (which I found repetitive, but has apparently improved steadily following the writers' strike). Apparently the network has one more year to show its mettle, so it better hope that the reincarnated 90210 and other teen-girl targeted shows take off or else it might be xoxo for the former frog net!
P.s. In case you were wondering my true investment in the under-twenty net is Supernatural, a criminally overlooked gem of a show about demon fighting (hot) brothers.
