CW News
 
Looks like this hasn't hit Futoncritic yet, but Supernatural, Smallville and One Tree Hill are all getting renewals. They've picked up the pilots Aliens in America, Gossip Girl, Reaper, and Wild at Heart (fka Unt. South Africa). Veronica Mars is cancelled. Their official schedule will be announced on Thursday.

Rumor is new timeslots for OTH and Supernatural.

I just saw this:

Well, it looks like there’s some new word from The Hollywood Reporter about some bubble shows.

- Confirming earlier reports, The CW is renewing Smallville, Supernatural and One Tree Hill for next year to go along with their pilot pickups (Gossip Girl, Reaper, and Wild at Heart are now joined by comedy Aliens in America).

However, most interesting is that this basically fills the CW schedule…and yet there is still the fate of Veronica Mars to be decided. At this point, I don’t think the show has a chance. Chances are that the network will fill its programming gaps with reality television as opposed to ordering up Veronica’s FBI spinoff. The fate of the show looks bleaker than ever, although there’s always still a chance it could make it by the skin of its teeth.

CW picks up dramas
No word yet on 'Veronica Mars'
By JOSEF ADALIAN

The CW has officially greenlit three dramas and two unscripted magazine shows -- but there's still no final word on the fate of "Veronica Mars."

Definitely gone: "All of Us," the Will Smith-produced laffer that ran for three seasons on UPN and the CW.

Returning shows snagging official pickups: Laffers "Girlfriends" and "The Game" and dramas "Smallville," "Supernatural" and "One Tree Hill." CW picked up "Everybody Hates Chris" for a third season earlier this spring.

As expected, CW execs Tuesday called the producers of "Gossip Girl," "Reaper" and a remake of Blighty family drama "Wild at Heart" to give them the good news. Things are still looking promising for comedy "Aliens in America," though as of early Tuesday afternoon , there was no official order yet.

CW is moving forward with a pair of magazine style shows, both of which will likely air Sunday nights in the 7 p.m. timeslot. "Online Nation" is a sort of "America's Funniest Home Videos" for the YouTube generation, while "CW Now" is the net's "ET"-style look at pop culture.

On the scripted side, greenlight for "Gossip Girl" gives exec producer Josh Schwartz his second series order this season. It's a quick comeback for Schwartz, whose last hit -- Fox's "The OC" -- left the air in February.

Supernatural...sweet.

Ms. M 05-15-07 02:28 PM

With Supernatural renewed, all of my "bubble" shows have been renewed. Hooray!

The appearance of Search for the Next Pussycat Doll on the schedule is puzzling. The group already has seven members, though one member seems to be doing most of the singing. How can they keep this show going?

Red Dog 05-15-07 03:08 PM

Good to see that OTH is officially back. Hopefully, they go through with the 5-year-jump plan.

Morf 05-15-07 03:28 PM

Woo Supernatural! :banana:

MEJHarrison 05-15-07 05:02 PM

Glad to see Supernatural will be back. :D

antennaball 05-15-07 05:55 PM

Hooray OTH, my #1 guilty pleasure in life.

mdc3000 05-15-07 05:58 PM

Supernatural!!!!!

Draven 05-15-07 06:53 PM

F in the A, I hope they don't dump Veronica Mars. I doubt they'll be able to replace it with something that will do any better.

CaptainMarvel 05-15-07 07:06 PM

<--- Very happy Supernatural is renewed.

<--- Very concerned it's losing its pairing with Smallville.

No, but I'm sure they could replace it with a reality show that would be cheaper. :rolleyes: Fucking reality shows...

dhmac 05-15-07 07:25 PM

Very happy about Supernatural and its timeslot change from the Thursday Night "Sacrificial Lamb" Hour. However, I think Sundays at 9pm - the old X-Files timeslot - would be a better pick for it than Mondays at 8pm.

Yeah, that show is too scary for 8pm - 7pm for the central zone. Wouldn't want to watch that show while eating dinner.

TOLEN 05-15-07 08:12 PM

At least they didn't put Supernatural up against Heroes. Yay for Supernatural and Smallville!!

Bluelitespecial 05-15-07 08:18 PM

Yeah for Supernatural, but I am scared it will cut back on the scares and violence due to the earlier timeslot.

Doughboy 05-15-07 08:31 PM

WHAT?! 7th Heaven isn't returning?! ;)


I still watch One Tree Hill, but I gotta be honest. This season's been so dull(the nearly 3 month hiatus in midseason didn't help) that I almost don't care it's returning. Please hire new writers and remind them that the show used to be fun.

critterdvd 05-15-07 09:56 PM

I'm sad about VM, but honestly I care much more for OTH, so I'm celebrating... All three drama pilots seem interesting!

innocentfreak 05-15-07 11:14 PM

Wow a network that didn't let me down this year, though I still harbor a grudge for Everwood's cancellation.

Pussy cat dolls did MUCH better in the demos and ratings after ANTM than Veronica Mars ever did.

Vipper II 05-16-07 06:31 AM

Seeing Supernatural on that schedule makes my day. All of my friends could suddenly die in terrible accidents, yet I'd still be happy about Supernatural coming back. Moreover, now I'll have something to watch on Mondays while I'm waiting for 24.

SuperBatMan 05-16-07 07:07 AM

Put VM after Smallville. It can't do any worse, that's for sure.

Poor Supernatural might not last on Monday. It survived Tuesday, so who knows.
