Lord help me, I watch the CW more than any other channel

It just dawned on me, that of all the channels I watch, it's the God damned CW more than any other.

Vampire Diaries
Arrow
Tomorrow People
Nikita
Supernatural
Whose Line is it Anyway?

Sigh. Shoot me now.

Chris Hanson is going to ask us all to "have a seat over here" just for posting in the same thread as you.

ABC Family has sort of taken over as the channel with a lot of shows about teenage girls...

...or so I was told. Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, and I know nothing about how cute AnnaSophia Robb of The Carrie Diaries on the CW is. Nothing at all. Same goes for Ellen Wong (who is 28, by the way)

The CW, ABC Family and any other channel that is geared toward younger crowds should have To Catch a Predator "5 minute episodes" between every ep.

They've vastly improved the average quality of their shows over the past decade. Ten years ago, this would have been a serious problem and required intervention. Even Reign is a decent show if you are into historical romance.

It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Nikita
Supernatural
The Vampire Diaries
The Tomorrow People
The Originals
Arrow

and even Beauty and the Beast and Reign are all really entertaining shows. The network is far from the girly teen show network that some may think it is. I think they are slowly moving away from that stigma and are producing more serialized action, mythology driven shows.

My wife has got me watching Reign with her, as well as The Originals. What this has taught me is that France was populated primarily with attractive, horny youngsters back in the day and that vampires don't enjoy turning anyone over the age of 25.

I'm catching up on Arrow s.1 through Netflix. I'm concerned about season 2. The first few episodes are missing from the CW site. The only place I can find them are from Itunes, for pay.

Beauty & the really handsome Beast and Reign are truly awful and embarrasing but the rest mentioned here are perfectly fine and better than a lot of what is on other networks.

CW stands for Can't Watch.

Yeah your other option is Hulu Plus. Even going back to Smallville I could never get their site to play videos right.

I'm using free Hulu to watch S2 eps but they post the eps 7 or 8 days after they air which SUCKS ASS; and I can't get behind in my viewing or else the eps go to Hulu Plus.

Man, considering you haven't watched TV in 20+ years, your post in this thread is worthless thread crap.

Repeat after me, The Cape is cancelled.

You're like the only one who has complained about Arrow this season.

The CW's deal with Hulu Plus is they only post the last 5 episodes that aired. Same with the CW website. So the only way for you to catch up on the early episodes you missed it to buy them and hopefully get caught up in time for the last 5 episodes that aired on Hulu. The show is going into midseason hiatus after next week, so if you power through season 1 and decide what you want to do with season 2, you may be able to get caught up.

Now that Dawn Ostroff left and stopped trying to turn it into Lifetime light, the CW's actually become a pretty decent network. Though I still can't believe Top Model is still on the air.

Agree. Now with 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill off the air, I like the direction they are taking. More young adult action and serialized shows.

My best friend loves Supernatural. I was thinking of checking it out. I have never watched any show on the CW.

It's on Netflix, but it's currently 9 seasons in, so that's alot of episodes to go through.
