And Veronics Mars too. Great call CW although the 22 reducible to 13 seems is not the most ringing endorsement at least it is on the schedule.
-
that the 22 episodes reducible to 13 is not the most ringing endorsement... all the same I am happy it is on the schedule. I just remember ARRESTED.
-
Everwood has never been given a chance. What a great and bold family drama.
-
..that it's only a matter of time before we see Emily VanCamp in some soft core porn flick?
-
where are the write ups on the fact that The Sci-Fi channel is going to have a Harry Dresden series this year? Albeit not being played by James Marsters, but still. Dresden Files! Whoo!
-
Good move!
-
Where is the Prison Break season finale talkback, Herc ?
-
Really, I don't have anything more articulate to say than that, as far as VM goes.
-
But I've heard Everwood is a much better series. Thats really too bad. Thank God VM got a 22 episode order, hopefully the fact that it will play in NYC and LA will boost it's rating enough for all 22 to be aired.
-
*sigh*
-
It's a done deal
-
This is great news. But you better have an alternative story for 3x12 if the show is going to be cancelled Rob.
-
'cause I doubt their ratings will go up.
-
addressing the fates of One Tree Hill and Everwood, Do any of you humps actually watch these shows?
-
OTH over Everwood? After this and the cancellation of invasion, I'm ready to just give up on tv. Seriously.
-
Screw Veronica Mars...That was a given. What about Ho (er) i mean Girlfriends?
-
Than having a 13-episode commitment, with the option of doing 22 if things improve. I suppose it is essentially the same thing, but this offers a bigger vote of confidence. Hopefully with this bigger audience, VM will not become the next Arrested Development.
-
Instead of the full 22, then the temptation would have been there to cut down to single digits and then make it disappear. And for those of you in New York and LA, you're in for a treat, since you have only thought the show's existance was a rumor (since it kept getting either pre-empted or shown in infomercial time - as in 2 or 3AM). The VM'ers on TV Without Pity are cowboy-ing up now that they know there's a season to look forward to.
-
What we need to do is go jack us some of those nielsen boxes from those tools who be so obsessed with all that CSI/Doctor/Lawyer cookie-cutter bullshit, that they be thinkin' is entertainment, so we can get some real shit on tv like Homeboys from outerspace and shit.
-
Yeah, everyone at TWoP is going nutso right now. Right on, CW. Next to "Lost", "House" and "Deadwood", "Veronica Mars" is the TV crack. Here's looking forward to a great new season, some awesome new mysteries, and the rockin' news that Michael Muhney and Tina Majorino just got added to the credits.
-
Never really cared for any family dramas except for everwood and now it gets the boot. Yet the cw keeps one tree hill....bullshit. Oh and does anyone know if smallville is keeping its name or is it changing to Metropolis
-
Recent Nielson change to start counting college kids in on-campus housing should help, as should VM having a show like, say, Gilmore Girls as a lead-in. Seems maybe Rob Thomas was anticipating the 22/13 order with his plan to do three multi-ep mysteries rather than a single season-long arc. At any rate, glad to see VM's coming back.
-
Whoa. Seems like they took a cue from the 7th Heaven peeps and they'll give it a go...ok, so they're still outta here, but what the hey.
-
Bad-Karaoke Audition (2) Hours. Shows like AI are enemies of quality TV.
-
It's simple. Veronica goes to college. She's obviously unlucky with men, so one night she gets drunk at a progressive and ends up going down on her floormate, Lacey Chabert. They spend the first 5 minutes of every episode making out topless. When things get stale, they bring in "special guest stars" Sarah Michelle Gellar and Michelle Trachtenberg (for the Buffy crossover audience). I guarantee that it will be the highest rated show on TV within 3 weeks.
-
Y'all are spared my Rant To End all Rants. For at least 13 episodes, anyway. Way to go, CW! Nice move. Now come up with a great marketing strategy and help get the show the ratings it deserves. Cuz we've already browbeat all the friends we have into watching it. There's not a whole lot more we can do.
-
I couldn't face no new Veronica Mars episodes. Hope it runs for 22 instead of 13.
-
VM friggin rules so hard. And RT will definitely make the one, or the first and second mysteries add up to 13 episodes, he's too smart not to.
And Everwood Everdead!!! I LOVE THE CW ALREADY!! -
...I would watch your show every week. Please tell me you're actually a CW executive?
-
Rather early, but here's the tipping points; no Sunday night movie (Without a Trace might be moving to face DH). Courting Alex and Out of Practice are outta here. King of Queens returns in January (How I Met Your Mother will pinch hit for it Mondays at 8 until then. Just four new shows (1 comedy, 3 dramas); The Class (the David Crane return to TV); a group of former 3rd-grade classmates reunited as adults). Dramas are Shark (w/James Woods as a celebrity defense attorney who becomes an L.A. prosecutor); Jericho (about the aftermath of a nuclear war in Kansas) and Smith, a thriller about career criminals plotting heists. (me: meh.) In the midseason bullpen; Rules of Engagement (single guy, his engaged friends and a married couple); Waterfront (Joe Pantoliano as a corrupt mayor of Providence) and 3 Lbs. (medical drama about a brain surgeon - Stanley Tucci). We'll find out what goes where tomorrow, and thanks to USA Today for the hat tip.

Yo! Now that's some out-of-the-box thinkin' Then you can add a mandingo hunged brotha to join in and stretch out SMG's tight puckered anal cavity and call him the Vampire Slayer Layer.
-
Bah, stupid enter button -- One Tree Hill is my guilty pleasure show, and I'm incredibly relieved to hear that it's picked up. Hopefully this turns out to be 100 percent true!
-
Holy shit! At least ONE of those has to kick ass, right? I mean, come on! I'd love for it to be the Woods vehicle...one of my all-time faves. Any other fans of the severely underrated 'Diggstown' here?
-
Crap. I'm glad about the Veronica Mars news, but dumping Everwood is an all time stupid move. Any chance ABC would buy it?
-
Veronica Mars getting renewed is great news, although not all that surprising given the recent positive signs. Hopefully it will get the full 22. I started watching Everwood with some of my attractive females friends, and it's not a terrible show, kinda entertaining, but nothing great. Never seen OTH, I'll assume it is shit.

Didn't OTH have at least 3 very special eps this season
by big bad clone
Fuck that show even if it is full of hot chicks.
-
Pleasure overload! Thank God that someone at the CW has brains. Now hopefully, there will be no pre-empting for sports. Proper promotion to the right demographic. Plus no airing opposite ratings-grabbing-juggernaughts. This show deserves to live gorram it! I hope and pray that this show gets the viewers it deserves and gets all 22 eps. There's gonna be a third season! I'm so happy! I cannot wait until the Autumn. It's a done deal indeed.
-
'Nuff said.
-
ACCORDING to SCIFI WIRE, BOTH SHOW HAVE BEEN RENEWED FOR THEIR SECOND AND SIXTH SEASONS GEEKS REJOICE FOR SUPERNATURAL. SMALLVILLE - BAH!
-
no, it's really not. What the hell does that even mean? VM is more honest about race and class tensions than any show I've seen lately.
-
Anyone else think Logan's Run at this post title?
-
I'm not sure how renewing VM equates to racism, but SnapT, any fool knows it was picked up by the CW (read the damnn posts before commenting), not CBS. CBS doesn't have the balls to ever touch a show like this. Look how they cancelled Joan of Arcadia just as it was getting interesting and replaced it with the JLH Friday night cleavage party (not that I have anything against cleavage).
-
Great news. Can't wait for season 2.
-
Last summer to help drum up interest in the show and it's second season. Onto another topic, anyone notice how there are HUGE billboards for WB shows like OTH, and Supernatural all over major cities, but the UPN NEVER put up one billboard or ad for VMars. It's like they just aired the show and did not care. Hopefully the marketing people from The WB survived this merger so that they can give Veronica the proper promo she needs. Because UPN sure as hell had a lousy promo team.
-
I am humbled by your knowledge, and embarassed by my ignorance. I should have remembered the CBS repeats and put the pieces together. However, I'm inclined to (cautiously) disagree with your "lack of promotion" comment. Didn't I hear somewhere about VM using airplane banner advertising to promote the season finale, or was that some other show? I do agree that in general UPN sucked at promoting their own product, and their merger (i.e. collapse) was at least partially due to their lack of promotional prowess.
-
I think what Snap T is implying is that Dawn Wells (CBS President) in renewing VM whos' rating numbers were far below other shows suchas Girlfriends, Eve, One On One & etc seems a tad bit biased.
-
As far as VM's promotions is concerned, I think that CBS/UPN/Viacom bent over backwards promoting VM. during its' first season by airing repeated eps over the weekend and MTV.
-
Don't be humbled, I am just a dude who reads too much :) You are correct about the sky banner, but the banner was actually paid for by fans of the show, not UPN. The WB promoted their product better than UPN. I remember going to Albany 3 weeks ago and EVERY Albany bus had a huge One Tree Hill banner painted across the side. I have never seen a Veronica poster in NYC. This innagural year for this new network will have every show survive the 2006-2007 season. But next season will be very different. The infighting between outgoing WB and incomming UPN execs that plagued the development of new pilots for the CW will end when many of the WB people are finally let go. I'm sure that once CBS gets its full handle on the situation, you can expect the quality of the pilots to pick up.
-
They always mention it surviving. And then there is Chris and Top Model. So it's not racist to bring back a critically acclaimed show that features a racially diverse cast and a white girl lead character who is far from The OC. Eve and One on One were NEVER Watercooler shows. You always hear people talk about Chris and Top Model, and Wendy Williams does a recap of Girlfriends every week on the radio. Also Veronica has a cult following. That counts. Look at how the One Tree Hill fans helped that show get renewed while the higher rated and more acclaimed Everwood got the boot.
-
but will relinquish my embarassment. I don't know if it's possible to read TOO much Mr. Profit, but you do know an awful lot. And you live(?) in NYC. I'm wondering if you're extensive knowledge derives from an occupation connected to the TV networks? Hmmmm.....
-
It's amusing how we are quick to rationalize the survival of low rated shows by categorizing them as critically acclaimed or having a cult following, thus justifying their survival within a corporate business model that for the most part preaches the almighty bottom line (Ad Dollars). Mr. Profit are implying that the etnic viewers should be satisfied with Chris and Top Model? I work in a corporate environment and not once have i witnessed a group of yups gathering around a watercooler conversing about VM/Arrested Development (which lasted three seasons with abyssmal ratings)...Now can anyone name a predominately ethnic show (black, latino, asian) that has lasted over twelve eps (let alone, a whole season)? So Mr. Profit spare me (us) your supercelious attitude.
Btw, all this can be remedied if the TV medium would get off their collective asses and come up with a fair and accurate viewing rating system by placing Nielsen boxes in an equal amount of black, white, asian, latino etc homes...Things would get real fucking interesting. -
for any smart-asses who mentions George Lopez, etc.
-
Jameswoods!
-
Is different from my personal feelings on the subject. I don't hate on "ethnic" shows because that would be stupid and close minded. Also, I myself am not white. And just because I am a certain race, doesn't mean I have to automatically watch something because the show features people that look like me. TV to me is all about the quality of the way the show tells it's story. Back to the cancellations, Veronica Mars has rabid fans who sent in 2 dollar bills en masse to Dawn Ostroff last year and even flew a sky banner on a plane over the future offices of The CW. The networks notice these things. They like shows with very vocal and active fans. Especially when these rabid fans buy the DVD box set of a series at 50 bucks a pop. You dont see fans of "One on One" flying a plane over The CW. And you don't see fans of Eve screaming bloody murder over it's cancellation. They knew what they were doing. Eliminating the shows that are dead weight. Have you even seen Eve or One on One? Neither show is better than the worst episode of Living Single. And the argument that the CW cancellations are motivated by racism is flawed because they cancelled Reba, a high rated WB show. And I did not for once say that people should accept only Chris and Top Model. I for one despise Top Model, and Chris is only funny because of Tichina Arnold who was actually better on Martin. We shouldn't be so closed minded about TV anymore. Lost, Desperate Housewives, Veronica Mars all feature diverse casts or a minorty cast member in a featured role. And ABC's #1 show Grey's Anatomy was created by an African American woman and features 3 African American characters who get good storylines, are not poorly written, and hold positions of power at Seattle Grace.
-
It's pretty unfair and I have never known ANYONE with a nielsen box.
-
to the fact that I'd be losing Everwood, but not at the expense of garbage like 7th Heaven and One Tree Hill. I watched One Tree for all of two episodes, and I can't remember seeing a full episode of 7th.
Can we at least get the last three season of Everwood on DVD? It's been forever since 1.x came out, and I'm afraid they're going to torture me with this, just like Buena Vista has with Once and Again 3.x. -
Here it be 2006 and we can count on one hand how many negroes be in positions of power and featured roles to boot! I guess rubbin' on dat rabbit feet done paid off afterall. I'm gon' light me a candle and march down da streets shoutin' FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! GOD ALMIGHTY, FREE AT LAST!
-
Are you the same SithMaster who literally came in your pants last Thursday over that lame as season finale of Smallville? In fact here is your gay-like post:
Except the show 24 lol thats a tie for me... But Smallville is the shit! And the finale was FUCKING AWSOME! Tom Welling simply OWNZ Brandon Routh as SUPERMAN. -
Whut do da black folks look at on Monday - Saturday? Oh! I forgot, theys got Top Model on one dem days in da middle of da week. White folks so good to us.
