It does look like the bastard child of that and the old Brewers logo.

The new logo kinda reads me of the main title to The OC. Anyway, it kinda sucks for a lot of shows, even though only one that I watch didn't get picked up, because if it weren't for this merge I'm sure most of those shows that were passed over would be coming back for another season.

But usually it's cheap programming like 60 Minutes, Extreme Makeover, and America's Funniest Home Videos.

I did not expect them to waste their biggest profile sitcom in that slot. I thought they would have that in the stronger 8 pm slot. 7 pm seems more for "turn on the television and watch whatever's on", not appointment television for an original scripted series.

I never heard about the problems with Berlanti, but I've always wondered why they treated the show like crap with time changes and long hiatuses.

If Everwood did better than OTH and Charmed, I wouldve kept it on somewhere, at least for midseason.

It looks like Tuesdays are the only nights I'll watch from here.

REBA RESCUED AFTER CANCELLATION ANNOUNCEMENT
Reba, the top rated sitcom on the WB network for the past five seasons, was recently cancelled. But now word comes that it will be coming back as a mid-season replacement for 13 episodes on the newly formed CW Network. Series star Reba McEntire says, “We are excited to be back to tell more great stories from the Hart family. We all appreciate the support of the fans who didn’t want to see this show go away.” Airdates of the new Reba episodes will be announced at a later date.

Even Commander In Chief might get movies.

This totally sucks for Everwood and everyone who loves it.

The CW is dead to me. I used to give all new dramas on the WB a chance, but it looks like this crappy network doesn't even care about quality.

It appears that nobody in Hawaii is picking up the CW network. I'm so bummed because "Supernatural" is just about my favorite show, and I love "Veronica Mars", too.
