CW picks up Hellcats, Nikita and One Tree Hill for full seasons
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blo...ontent=Twitter
The CW is giving full-season orders to freshman dramas Hellcats and Nikita, along with veteran One Tree Hill.
Hellcats has been paired with America's Next Top Model on Wednesday nights, averaging 2.5 million viewers. Nikita has been matched with Vampire Diaries on Thursdays pulling 3.6 million viewers. Both have been more or less steady in recent weeks.
Absent from the list: Life Unexpected, which has been struggling paired with the eighth season of One Tree Hill on Tuesday nights. CW has picked up a couple scripts for the show, however.
“This fall, The CW made several strategic scheduling moves, including adding two of the most buzzed-about new series, ‘Hellcats’ and ‘Nikita,’ to our line-up, and we’re thrilled that they’ve paid off for us,” said CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff. “By giving our two freshman series and proven performer ‘One Tree Hill’ full orders, we’ll be able to continue our success and momentum throughout the rest of the season.”
Nikita has been awesome and is getting better each week.
I like Hellcats for the cheese factor and eye candy.
I know a few of you here aren't happy with One Tree Hill and complain about it every week, but I'm glad the show is getting a full year to wrap up. I read that Mark Schwahn and Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley) are expecting this to be the final season.
Life Unexpected is still at 13 episodes.

Glad about all 3. Hope LUX get a full season. I actually watch everything on CW except America'sNextTopModel.

I have been surprised that I have actually enjoyed Hellcats, One Tree Hill needs to finally end.

LUX for an order for to additional scripts, but with a few Midseason shows planned (who knows with CW), it's toast.

I would have been happier if they just killed OTH. It's a chore to watch (and pretty much has been ever since S4). If it weren't in its last season, I'd just dump it.

I liked the seasons 1-4 of One Tree Hill. But after season 5 what really bugged me about the show is that they involved the characters of Mouth and Skillz more. Both of them are annoying and the actors playing them can't act. Lee Norris will have always the annoying Minkus factor. I stopped watching the show after season 6. I think OTH could ended well in either season 4 or season 6.

This network has their work cut out for them next season as Smallville is done, Supernatural is probably done, One Tree Hill is finally going to be put to rest and Life Unexpected is probably going to get canned.

Supernatural will be back. No question about that. As will 90210, Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl.

While I feel like "One Tree Hill" hasn't been it's best in years - I'm still enjoying the series, especially last year and this year (eventhough it feels like I'm watching a spin-off versus the original series). I'm glad that CW gave them a back 9 so it can end knowing it's going out.

Yes, I agree season 4 after High School ended was a perfect ending and even season 6 when Lucas/Peyton were happy and Nate 1st joined the Bobcats was a perfect ending as well. But, I understand why the CW renewed it for season 7 and now 8. The ratings for pretty much all the shows on this network aren't good, but OTH is still one of the higher ratings performers. Plus, the CW has failed to develop any viable replacements...Melrose Place crashed and burned and Life Unexpected is hanging on to dear life.

Nikita and Hellcats were horrible but CW probably has no new shows to put on the air.

Nikita is supposedly getting "tweaked" to get more female viewers, by which I presume female-oriented soap-opera elements will be added. I hate soap operas.
