The CW announced their new fall schedule yesterday. As expected, the network picked up the new series, “The Vampire Diaries” which will inherit “Smallville”‘s current slot at 8 p.m. EST on Thursdays.
“Reaper” was not picked up, but could still live on in syndication.
The full schedule for the CW is:
MONDAY
8:00-9:00 PM GOSSIP GIRL
9:00-10:00 PM ONE TREE HILL
TUESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM 90210
9:00-10:00 PM MELROSE PLACE (New Series)
WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL
9:00-10:00 PM THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE (New Series)
THURSDAY
8:00-9:00 PM THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (New Series)
9:00-10:00 PM SUPERNATURAL
FRIDAY
8:00-9:00 PM SMALLVILLE (New night)
9:00-10:00 PM AMERICAN’S NEXT TOP MODEL (Encores)
This means “Supernatural” and “Fringe” will be on at the same time. I can’t choose.
I can and the winner is “Fringe”.
And this is why I’m glad my DVR has 2 tuners.
Are they trying to kill Smallville without just canceling it? As Terminator proved, people will not stay home on a Friday night to watch a show that they love on another night. It just doesn’t happen. Friday is where shows go to die, like an elephant burial ground for tv shows that the networks don’t have the guts to cancel outright.
