The CW already plans to launch earlier than everyone this year, with its fall lineup premiering on September 1. Theoretically The CW won’t be completely invisible just yet, and the network has suggested that the 2009 fall schedule could launch as early as July or August.
“We feel like we need to look at this in a different way. The idea is to get out of the fray and be able to bring viewers in when there’s not as much competition,” The CW president Dawn Ostroff said.
Variety reports that the plan may result in ending the 2009-2010 season in April instead of May, as well as having additional midseason shows to fill the gaps.
The network would have tried this strategy this year but didn’t want to compete with the Olympics, and as a result has been largely dark this summer.
I’d like to see the CW return Everybody Hates Chris and The Game. I feel that the switch from Monday nights to Friday nights was intentional to make sure that these shows failed to draw big audiences. I hope that you see that you are doing the African-American population a GREAT service by allowing these shows to be aired on your station. You are the ONLY station that have two predominately AA shows still running. I appreciate the story lines that are being addressed by the writers and I’d like to see them continue.
Thank you for your time.
I agree, I think these shows have a lot to offer and people can really relate to these situations. This show is a positive story line for AA populations. Most people can relate to them!!
i really would love for them to bring back oth. but i dont understand why they are going to have a spin off shot of gossip girl? thats a waste of time and money!!
please keep “The Game” it is one of the best shows on tv
