CW picked up five new dramas to series, a record for the CW. Arrow, Carrie Diaries. Cult, First Cut and Beauty And The Beast have all been ordered to series.
It's white knuckle time for CW's existing bubble shows! Update: white knuckle time is over:
Ringer and The Secret Circle Canceled
Nikita and Hart of Dixie Renewed:
I’m not watching CW network anymore.. because you just canceled Ringer & The Secret Circle! LOSERSSSSSS
TSC is cancelled so now i can’t wait for the cw to crash and burn next season
Seriously CW, Look into Sitcoms
Arrow and Beauty&The Beast.
These two look good.
Best guess that The Carrie Diaries will be one of those shows whose 18-49 will be higher than TVD but total viewers will be lower. I can’t imagine a non-SATC fan watching it.
Lmao after 90210 and supernatural are done, I’m never watching another show on the cw again, those new dramas aren’t even going to be good. RIP ringer. Hopefully it doesn’t take SMG another 8 years to return to television :/
you guysc know that arrow is not a smallville spin off right
WOW CW you suck I loved Ringer and TSC and you canceled them both. But you kept Nikita and HoD what
Personal interest level:
Arrow – maybe
Cult – probably not
First Cut – no
Beauty and the Beast – hell no
The Carrie Diaries – oh god, please no
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ARROW!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!
side note: wb to KK to tv on beast
@justin
nah, sitcoms suck, I never watch them myself.
Still can’t believe they picked up The Carrie Diaries. It will be the most promoted-and biggest flop- of their schedule next season. I like Mamie Gummer, but I don’t see First Cut lasting. Again, ANOTHER remake in Beauty and the Beast, which I see getting cancelled. Cult sounds decent and Arrow will most likely be the biggest hit out of all of them.
I’m sure that most of these shows will be canceled by this time next year, starting with TCD.
Which of the Beauty and the Beast pilots did CW pick up? The one that was pitched to them originally, or the one pitched to ABC?
Arrow and Cult are the standouts for me. I think many will be interested in seeing on The Carrie Diaries turn out. It will receive alot of talk/publicity. So that may get eyeballs initially. But as the season goes on, I can see interest in the show decreasing. I’m surprised about First Cut. But that may be a sleeper hit like Hart of Dixie.
Of these pilots, I definitely will check out Arrow. They appear to be following the current Green Arrow comic relatively closely in the premise. However, it’s REALLY hard to do a superhero TV show right, as The Cape demonstrated recently. So this will either be a hit or “die very badly” like The Cape did. Katie Cassidy is cool but I’m not sure if casting her as Black Canary was right.
As for Cult, I don’t think it will make it. The two leads are not that great. Jessica Lucas was on the Melrose Place remake and while being unbelievably gorgeous was not that great an actress. And Matt Davis, while great as Alaric on the Vampire Diaries, is unproven as a lead (plus his character is another “journalist blogger” – shades of Summer Glau on The Cape!.) Robert Knepper, also in the cast, is usually pretty good though.
Worse, the premise seems rather weak. Still, I’ll check it out.
Beauty and the Beast is worth checking out for Kristin Kreuk alone, but it will all depend on where they go with it. The original was well done but had its limitations.
First Cut and The Carrie Diaries don’t interest me at all.
So I think the schedule will be
Monday – HoD and First Cut
Tuesday – 90210 and Carrie Diaries
Wednesday – Beauty & the Beast and ANTM
Thursday – TVD and Arrow
Friday – same
GG and Cult mid season
The Carrie Diaries should premiere really well, the built in name recognition should bring in all the 16-20somethings who watch Sex and the City in reruns on TBS, and might even bring in some old SATC fans just for fun. How it holds up is how good the show is.
Arrow & Cult I will definitely check out, both sound great!
I’ll check out First Cut
and I’ll definitely be checking out Beauty and the Beast, I thought ABC’s version sounded better, but I’m kinda glad that that one didn’t make it because it probably would have hurt OUAT, fairytales would have been overexposed.
Here is how they shall do there shecdule for next season is staring:
Friday
8pm vampire diaries new nite
9pm supernatural
Monday
8pm 90210 new nite

Arrow looks really good besides Supernatural which I just started watching I don’t watch any other shows on the CW but I think I’ll check this one out
Really looking forward to arrow and cult, the rest sound pretty awful
