Hey you guys, I was just doing some research about the CW network on wikipedia, and it looks like the shows are losing ratings. Its the 2009-2010 run now, and they've already canceled a show called the Beautiful life, just after two episodes. Melrose place is also flopping, they are only attracting about over 1 million viewers. While shows like One tree hill, gossip girl and 90210 are only getting just about 2 million viewers.
What shows do you think will get canceled next?
My moneys on Melrose place to get canceled in the next few weeks.
What do you lot think?

The CW has been flopping ever since Dawn Ostroff became president and formed the network. She compromised good TV (Everwood) for ratings (7th Heaven and One Tree Hill), which has since sent the network into a tailspin of mediocrity. The only good show on the network now is Supernatural. Vampire Diaries is decent, as is Smallville, but that's about it. There's only so many shows you can target to young women, so they have essentially saturated their own network, hence the failure of The Beautiful Life and Melrose Place (plus, the shows suck).

I agree with you Wyndam, Supernatural, Smallville and Vampire Diaries are the only descent programs on the CW channel.
What else could actually make the CW channel do well?
By the way, i've just done some research, now that the beautiful like series has been canceled, instead will now show repeats of Melrose place 2.0. What a shame because their only getting about over 1 million viewers during the premier. Way to go CW.

really? i thought they'd of been smart enough to show Supernatural repeats or something, atleast that show has a stable fanbase
the CW can flop for all i care, the only show i care about on there is Gossip Girl

I always loved Everwood, of course that's not on now...
And I totally thought that they had stopped making One Tree Hill for some reason. Maybe I just categorize it with stuff that was on when I was in middle school, and so I think that its been on forever or something. I don't even know.

It's one of the reasons Everwood was canceled.  |

I really think the CW is just sooo dumb as a network. As said above the only good shows on there are Supernatural (which is probably in its final season), Smallville (which has been on for too long), and Vampire Diaries (which is a bit of a rip off of Twilight). I also like ANTM, but thats just because im really into photography and tyra's crazyness... sooo yeah... they suck.

And Vampire Diaries (which is a bit of a rip off of Twilight). Sorry, i have to correct you there... -Twilight was published in 2005 -The Vampire Diaries was Published 1991 - 1992 However i think that unfortunately The Vampire Diaries books were butchered for TV. |

I know their ratings aren't good, but I thought Smallville, SPN, and ANTM had pretty strong bases. Well, obviously ANTM gets somewhat good ratings, they play it on every damn channel!  And I thought 90210, Gossip Girl, and Melrose were the hot new teen shows. God knows that the big 3 networks aren't going for that demo. Disney and Nick are geared toward younger teens (let me say that I do LOVE iCarly on Nick though). I dunno. The CW has had a lot of good shows to it's list, but also a lot of misses. I miss Gilmore and VM tuesdays! Everybody Hates Chris was good too! |

I didnt mean the books... I meant the TV show. Which is the rip off of twilight the movie. Nothing to do with books. I just think the dude that plays Stefan looks an awful lot like the dudes that played Emmet and Edward merged together... also the show has the movies... feel.. if that makes sense.. |

Do remember that CW show survive on lower rating than other networks. The Vampire Diaries was the highest rated premier on the CW ever with 4.8 million.

I doubt Dollhouse would survive on the CW considering the channel's current roster. I do assume the series would do well on FX however.
Personally, Supernatural is the only series I can stand to watch on the CW, but I watch it on Fridays now since it airs at the same time as Fringe.

Right now, there isn't anything I'd watch on the CW...none of the shows interest me. With Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls gone, there's nothing left for me to watch. Funny enough, this kid -- and horrible, yet almost professional actor -- from my old high school kept bragging on Facebook about "being on" (recurring? extra? who knows...probably extra, haha) the Beautiful Life. Now all he's doing is crying about it being canceled. That's karma for ya.  |

Gosh, I watch loads of CW shows. Although, not on the CW because I'm not in the USA.
Gossip Girl, 90210, Melrose Place, Supernatural & Vampire Diaries.
Although I suppose I am the targeted audience being a female teen...
