I have to say that "One Tree Hill" has to be one of the most successful unsuccessful show's of all time. I've been following the series since the first episode and it always seems to be one of those shows that keeps going and going. I also think its ironic that it will now be on the air longer than the show it was produced to replace: "Dawson's Creek".

Glad to see that "Supernatural" made the cut as well

Timber

Bad news for us Privileged fans I guess.

Gizmo

Yes for OTH! Good to see its coming back!

Gizmo

Unlike some other shows, since they "jumped" forward 5 years the series has picked up in the ratings. This year it jumped up 21% compared to last.

Glad Supernatural and Gossip Girl are coming back. I am not sure that Smallville has another season in it.
How did 90210 get a pick up? I thought ratings were marginal? I also read they have put a Melrose Place reboot on there. Who makes these decisions, Monkeys?

Red Dog

That's a pretty solid description.

I'm not sure that any of these shows have another season in them, except for Gossip Girl, which has been solid through its sophomore season. The pilots from Hollywood must really be bad this year.

Gizmo

90210 does pretty good for what The CW wants. I had no doubt it would get picked up for a second season. Smallville needs to be put to bed.

Glad that Gossip, Supernatural and (sort of) 90210 got pickups... Smallville really has run its course and is coasting on fumes as it is - maybe if they amp up the Lois and Clark and get him into costume as Superman (fuck that early 'no tights, no flights' mantra) it could be revitalized.... I hope that Reaper and Privileged both get to come back, but somehow I doubt it.

I wouldn't go that far just yet. CW needs midseason replacements and they just took back sunday night. So there is hope.

Bluelitespecial

I wish they would stop thinking that only chicks watch Supernatural.

All I have to say is that Smallville NEEDS Lois to be full time next year. She hasn't been on in like three fucking months.

Tell your friends to watch the season finale tonight. It's not up against The Mentalist or American Idol, it's up against Obama's speech. Maybe that will up the ratings tonight since nothing else is on.

Good news for OTH, Gossip Girl and Supernatural.

Smallville needs to be put to death whereas Privileged needs to be picked up.

onebyone

More Gossip Girl and Supernatural make me very happy indeed.

Smallville is still the highest rated CW show with almost 4M viewers a week consistently. It's not a surprise at all that they chose to renew it. However, they need to sign Erica Durance full-time next season (22 episodes)

DJariya

I think the best chance for Privileged is a 13 episode mid-season renewal, similar to what the CW did with Reaper.

Superman07

Wow S9 is on. Hopefully the momentum stays and this season doesn't fall apart in the event they actually were headed towards closure and have to come up with something else last minute.

Re: Durance for S8 - true, but the show has been off for about 1 of those 3 months if not more.

rfduncan

I thought that Supernatural was a "gimme" as Kripe agreed to end it next season anyway. I hope they stick with that as it is headed towards what could be a brilliant series wrap.

Disagree. I want Smallville to end. For every decent episode, there are at least 5 crappy ones. I was hoping that being forced to wrap it this season that it would be stronger. Alas, that has not been the case...

Reaper's fate is yet to be determined since it doesn't return until next week. But I also would like to see it develop like it had during the 2nd half of S1.

blued888

I'm really surprised they decided to pick Smallville up for a 9th season.

Timber

The only reason I don't quit Smallville is because I want to see how it's going to end. I've been in since the beginning and it's been very trying at times. This season started out good but IMO it's done nothing but disappoint since the X-Mas break. I just don't know how they're going to drag another season out of it. You just know they're going to find a way to dig up Lana again next season.

I think it's funny they are continuing to build the channel as a "destination for young women" and it's all guys in here talking about the shows.

I'm happy to see Supernatural and Gossip Girl get renewed. 90210 I watch, but I can't say I'm invested in it so that doesn't really affect me in any way.

Privileged I have been feeling a little hesitant on lately. I enjoy Rose (especially Rose, hello Chris Hanson) and Sage but Megan has been starting to grate on my nerves. I woul like it to come back, but I won't be terribly disappointed if it doesn't.

I really want Reaper to come back. Hopefully it does well upon its return.

I haven't watched One Tree Hill in a while, but I think I want to pick up where I left off. I just don't really remember when that was.

The Valeyard

Surprised to see Smallville back. I've really enjoyed this season but it felt like (to me) that they were heading towards a wrap up. I hope it doesn't overstay it's welcome (again).

Let's see, the CW has 10 hours of weekday programming available:

I don't know what else they have in the pipeline, but it seems feasible that Privileged could return.
