My Thoughts on the CW Schedule...
I really don't have many thoughts about The CW schedule, other than to say that I'm a little surprised about them booting "Smallville" to Friday nights. I think that will seriously hurt that show since Friday nights are not a big viewing night for its demographic.
As for new shows, "The Vampire Diaries" sounds like "Twilight" for TV, which I'm sure is exactly what The CW is hoping for.
I have no idea what happened to the "Gossip Girl" spin-off, but I'm sure that will come out eventually...
Notice that "Privileged," "Reaper," "Everybody Hates Chris," and "The Game" have all been cancelled...
