In case anyone cares anymore, here is the CW schedule for next year. It is riddled with returning programs, but there are a few newbies in the form of The Originals, The Tomorrow People, and Reign. This suggests they may not even be trying anymore as ratings remain in the basement, but it gets attention nonetheless because of its broadcast roots. What some of you may be noticing here is Nikita is off the schedule. That is because it has been cancelled with an ordered six-episode run to provide closure. Continue Reading

While this does not necessarily mean it was a complete disaster, by Sex and the City standards it is. This means that for whatever reason, young viewers who have never heard of the brand do not care. Shocking, I know. On the plus side, Sarah Jessica Parker is now breathing a sigh of relief as her fan favorite status endures to at least another reboot.
This one is called Shelter and it centers around the new and returning staff of a historic New England summer resort. The series will be an emotional and comical trip based on the staff’s friendships, rivalries, and romances. Yep. Definitely a CW show.
Another high profile pickup for the network that is certain to get some buzz is a modern day Beauty and the Beast series similar to the one that launched on CBS in the 1980′s. Who knows? Maybe CW could make it work this time.

Earlier today, CW revealed its summer lineup anchored by the rebooted improv series Whose Line Is It Anyway? to be hosted by comedian Aisha Tyler. Also making air are Perfect Score, Breaking Pointe, and The Hunt–all of which constitute unscripted programming. 
Five seasons is apparently enough for the CW as the network just announced today the cancellation of 90210 after sagging ratings. Billed as a proper farewell, the show will be ending on May 13 which is pretty much where the season finale would have landed. The broadcaster did not even give this show its own press release as they announced the news with their other finale dates, so hit the jump to check those out as well. 
Back when CW conjured the idea of a youthful version of Sex and the City set against the backdrop of the 1980′s, people thought the network cleverly found a way to capitalize off a fairly respectable brand and that would cynically drive ratings. Not so much…at least according to the overnights which suggest the program may actually be a bit of a flop despite year-best numbers for the network in this particular time slot. The period drama premiered last night to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 in the coveted 18-49 demographic.
With full season orders being tossed around left and right, one of the more noteworthy ones is that belonging to Beauty and the Beast complements of CW. The show is one of their newer offerings that has performed pretty okay, but it is definitely not Arrow which is why the additional episodes took a while to come down. Keep reading for the cast and ratings details via the network. 
Not so fast Marvel. It looks like Joss Whedon’s S.H.I.E.L.D. will have another DC superhero project to compete against next television season as CW is preparing to take a crack at…Wonder Woman. Yes, this should sound a lot like deja vu because just last year we were discussing how NBC had struggled to get to air an adaptation of the superheroine property themselves. 
Special digital brands for television networks are all the rage nowadays, and CW has announced their intentions to the join the party today via a new studio called CWD. 
Anything J.J. Abrams has been watched very closely ever since Lost, but after a slew of low-rated offerings from his production company (Bad Robot) one cannot help but think the property is a name abuser rather than a quality effort from the man who seems more focused on feature films at the moment. Nonetheless, Abrams has a new property that just received a pilot order form the CW.
