Hey, since Gossip Girl is such a “hit”, maybe Dawn should throw it on Fridays, cause it's like bound to like bring in ratings cause it's totally like a really good show.

It is never going to see WB or even UPN numbers again. Even if they did somehow get an amazing pilot that has mass appeal, they've proven that they just don't know how to market the network so people will watch it. They are just a waste of space at this point. The thing is, it doesn't matter what CW does with Fridays or any other day of the week. It is never going to see WB or even UPN numbers again.

I still don't know why they just didn't give Reba a regular season last year. Stupid if you ask me. The show could have continued for one more year at least.

The CW will only renew The Game so they can pair it up with Everybody Hates Chris and those two shows may move to Friday so one of their new shows can be on Monday.

The centerpiece was Reba, of course, which the CW dumped last season. Whoops! Reba would frequently draw over 5 million.

I originally thought that they should try and revert back to something like the old ABC TGiF days and program Friday nights with family friendly comedies. The assumption being that families with young kids would be more likely to be home on Friday night and it would be different than what has populated Friday night TV the last couple of seasons. The WB used to run comedies on Fridays, although I don't remember how well they did. But, then I go and read that Aliens in America is probably a goner, which pretty much negates the idea.
