How Many TV Shows Can Tyra Banks Produce?? At Least Four!! The CW Announces Its Fierce Autumn Schedule!!

You should listen to the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ by Pennsy	May 13th, 2008 06:36:08 PM
And hear how savagely they roast Tyra, rightfully so.
The best part is: they're starting early by chrth	May 13th, 2008 06:39:49 PM
First week of September. Reaper will hopefully be back on the air by November after one or all of their shows flop.
If you look at the Smallville stuff...no Alison Mack by Pennsy	May 13th, 2008 06:41:05 PM
in the cast. I guess she really is gone.
Let me know when Veronica's back on. by arzbest	May 13th, 2008 06:44:09 PM
Then I'll start watching the CW again. "No Veronica, No CW"!
No Alison Mack, No Smallville. by g0dai	May 13th, 2008 06:52:34 PM
It's fucked.
BULLSHIT! by Mr_X	May 13th, 2008 06:57:32 PM
congrats cw theres fucking nothing to watch on your network
no mention of Rob Thomas? what gives? by newc0253	May 13th, 2008 07:00:03 PM
a little strange, no? there was more intelligence and humour in 5 minutes of Veronica Mars than 5 years of 90210. does the CW not want people to think of this?
Don't give up on Supernatural... by James_O'Nasty	May 13th, 2008 07:00:22 PM
I was pleasantly surprised by that show...
I'm so torn by password.swordfish	May 13th, 2008 07:38:35 PM
The idea of a 90210 reinvention makes me want to beat CW executives with a bag of oranges, but I am obligated to watch anything Rob Thomas touches after the brilliance of VM. Bah! If anyone can make this pile o' crap idea acceptable, it's him. Also, glad to see Reaper back. It got so much better after it came back after the strike. Love the overarching story, it clearly needed something like that from the start.
The weakest by RoyNearyCE3K	May 13th, 2008 07:48:44 PM
The weakest lineup in broadcast television history! Where's DuMont when you need it?
Supernatural IS very underrated by YotzVonFrelnik	May 13th, 2008 07:56:40 PM
I started watching from the beginning of season 2. This show reminds me so much of Buffy and the writing and acting of the two main characters is great and often funny. I just can't understand why more people don't tune in.
Rob Thomas... by flickchick85	May 13th, 2008 09:00:14 PM
left the 90210 project. Now he'll just be running Cupid and Outrageous Fortune (or "Good Behavior" as I think its called now). Thank God. The less association he has with The CW (and 90210), the better.
I've lasted this long with Smallville. by SkidMarkedUndies	May 13th, 2008 09:16:24 PM
I've got to see how it ends. Call me a battered wife or a glutton for comic book-esque punishment.
Someone tell me when Reaper comes back on by br1947	May 13th, 2008 09:46:38 PM
Reaper is the only thing that keeps me from deleting the channel from my tv. After watching Smallville died a horribly slow agonizing death, releasing its bowels and flopping around in it... I give up. Without Mack & Rosenbaum, who the fuck cares? Stride, that's who. Fucking Stride.
Just get it over with and call yourself MTV3.... by Darth_Nader	May 13th, 2008 09:55:33 PM
CW, you blow. Reaper is the only thing I even have interest in, and I pick Deadliest Catch over that on Wednesday.
Damn, stop moving "Everybody Hates Chris" by Tar Heel	May 13th, 2008 10:01:54 PM
Prbably the most family-friendly show they have, albeit with subtly subversive Chris Rock narration.
flickchick85 by password.swordfish	May 13th, 2008 10:05:25 PM
Thanks! I'm much less torn now. Both Cupid and Outrageous Fortune (Good Behaviour?) are projects I can get excited about. Especially if the rumour I heard about Kristen Bell joining the latter is true and not just designed to make me twitterpated.
Dawn Ostroff: The George W, of network presidents... by Pennsy	May 13th, 2008 10:05:31 PM
As in the worst.of.all.time.
Aliens in America: Quite a funny, underrated show. by Bungion Boy	May 13th, 2008 10:22:44 PM
I'll miss it. I think it would have found an audience in a different time slot.
Just rename this network The Ty by Prof. Pop-Cult	May 13th, 2008 11:03:11 PM
Geez.
Only 3 good shows on that network now!! by Ka Dargo	May 14th, 2008 12:36:20 AM
Smallville....to all those bitchin about no Lex or Lana it could be a good thing. You want the same old stuff or maybe they'll be forced to go in a different direction and get him on track to be Superman. That's what i'm hoping for anyway...lol!! Supernatural is damn good, i agree its way underrated. Reaper is great....funny and cool shit with the devil for cryin out loud!!! And now we have the big reveal that Sam is the devils son!!!
Tristan Wilds was awesome in The Wire by slimballs	May 14th, 2008 01:41:27 AM
How the hell can someone go from The Wire to 90210.
Banks bites... by thegreatwhatzit	May 14th, 2008 01:49:33 AM
and not in a good way. She's the worst hostess in TV history (egocentric, IQ below room temperature). And she's a producer of four shows? Jesus, where's Rod Serling?
The Only reason that Reaper got the second sesaon is that they.. by wowsah156	May 14th, 2008 03:51:34 AM
dont having anything to replace it. not that that is a bad thing. CW dont have a clue with regard to original programming. Once smallville is gone they are PHUCKED. And the 90210 sequel is a desparate cry for help. Really, do the CW executives think that kids are going to buy that shit again when they are are a post Columbine generation? Nah, wont work. CW's best new hope are Supernatural and Reaper in no particular order. And they need new ideas quick. Or the sack the guy who green light the 90210 sequel. CW give me a job in the development department!!
I doubt Reaper will last beyond next season by The Selecter	May 14th, 2008 03:59:53 AM
but 13 more is better than nothing, and the show has improved with the post-strike episodes. More of the devil/Sam mythology and Andi in little dresses is a good thing.
It wouldn't surprise me if The CW doesn't last by Jim Jam Bongs	May 14th, 2008 04:58:56 AM
The problem with the network is that its ratings are equivalent to that of cable networks (not the premium channels, but ones like SciFi, Spike, TNT, FX and so on). But that doesn't cut it for a national broadcast network, where there is a lot more overhead involved (maintaining broadcast stations, air rights, ad rate packages, and so forth). I will say it here and now: It would not surprise me if The CW goes off the air after next season. I'm not predicting that it will, but this would not surprise me.
I'll only watch Reaper. by RobFromBackEast	May 14th, 2008 06:11:08 AM
90210 might me worth a gander for the chicks, though.
The CW is dying like a pig in the streets of Parma, Ohio. by Uncle Stan	May 14th, 2008 06:37:28 AM

90210 by Dazzler69	May 14th, 2008 06:49:02 AM
I will give it a shot.
SUPERNATURAL by turketron	May 14th, 2008 07:35:24 AM
GREAT show that not enough people are watching! The best horror themed show on TV since Angel went off the air. I'm in the middle of season 3 right now and loving it. The Christmas episode was bananas.
Gossip Girl by Mr. Profit	May 14th, 2008 07:50:32 AM
Needs to leave this abortion of a network. I never thought I'd watch until I heard Kristen Bell would be narrating. Thankfully I did as the show is a good spin on a teen drama that makes crap like the OC look foolish. Its like a high budgeted Degrassi with good actors. Showing kids fucking around, freely drinking and smoking weed and last week a kid snorting a line and OD'ing.
Embrace the mediocrity, people! by Pennsy	May 14th, 2008 07:59:39 AM
Not just on the CW, but on all the networks; the most lackluster new lineup for any fall campaign. Ever.

So there's SMALLVILLE and REAPER and...that's it, I guess. by SpyGuy	May 14th, 2008 08:11:17 AM
It's gonna be a lonnnnnnng wait until midseason for REAPER, but it's better than being axed. Of course, if the CW truly had their shit together, they'd dust off the GLOBAL FREQUENCY pilot and develop that as a replacement series.

More Tyra? by Yeti	May 14th, 2008 08:49:48 AM
Too much of a bad thing.
Supernatural is highly underrated by Reel American Hero	May 14th, 2008 10:36:57 AM
I took a pass on it when it first came on. For one, The Office was on at the same time, and for two, it just looked like another generic buffy knockoff with dudes instead of sarah michelle gellar. But then I gave it a chance and I'm hooked now. I got the first two seasons off of Amazon and it's really a very good show. I don't see how they're going to wrap up the plot of this season with just the one more episode tommorow, but the writer's strike fucked up a lot of shit. I highly reccomend checking this show out.
9021- by BoggyCreekBeast	May 14th, 2008 11:19:50 AM
O Hellz Naw!
Whoa, Pennsy! by password.swordfish	May 14th, 2008 11:29:28 AM
Gotta disagree with you there. We have a new Whedon project, a new show from Moore of BSG awesomeness, and 2 Rob Thomas shows. What more could a geek ask for? To me, it looks like this upcoming season will spank the pants off of last season, the only new show of which I really got into was Pushing Daisies. Bring on next year! And Mr. Profit, I hate to break it to you, but Gossip Girl is the OC in New York. Not that it may not be a guilty pleasure, but lets get some perspective. Degrassi deals with actual problems of everyday life; Gossip Girl deals with the problems of rich, spoiled assholes. Kids fucking around, drinking, smoking weed and ODing? Yeah, I saw all of those episodes of the OC.
The key word, password.swordfish was "fall". by Pennsy	May 14th, 2008 11:57:10 AM
Since Dollhouse and the two RT projects are slated for midseason, ergo January 2009. So far, we'll be lucky to get 12 new shows from all 5 networks, and a quarter of those reality shit. 2 shows from ABC?? There's nothing new that will make me watch this fall. So far. Maybe Fox will have Virtuality on its fall lineup, or will that be relegated to midseason, too?
CBS' fall lineup here... by Pennsy	May 14th, 2008 11:58:38 AM
http://tinyurl.com/3kgff3 No chance of Moonlight farmed out to the CW, four new shows and Survivor in high-def. Woot.
Ahhhh, I see by password.swordfish	May 14th, 2008 12:04:41 PM
Apologies Pennsy, then I'll have to agree with you. Knew Dollhouse was slated for midseason, but not the RT projects. Thanks for the info.
Tyra Banks is shallow by ZeroCorpse	May 14th, 2008 01:00:17 PM
And what's sad is that she has NO IDEA. She thinks she's this deep, intelligent person who thinks things that have never been thought before, when really she's like a 12-year-old who just found out there are other people in the world and they have unique experiences that are completely different from hers. I love me some African American beauty, but Tyra Banks has a lot of ugliness underneath that makes her less than attractive in the grand scheme of things. I think GTA IV had it right: AMERICA'S TOP HOOKER on CNT (or was that Weazel?)
The GTA IV TV shows are GREAT by turketron	May 14th, 2008 02:02:16 PM
Can't get enough of that stuff.
In other news, per Maxim, 54 women hotter than Kristen Bell? by Pennsy	May 14th, 2008 02:05:49 PM
Including Britney Spears at #20? I don't fucking think so, and frak your 2008 Hot 100 Women List while yer at it.
GET RID OF GOSSIP GIRL! GIVE US GOTH GIRL... by MrSentinel	May 14th, 2008 02:13:11 PM
And star the hot goth chick from NCIS. 'Nuff said...
Turketron by The Winged Doucheman	May 14th, 2008 07:35:57 PM
My favorite is the "Lifestyles"-esque show where they mention the socialite with the small dog she keeps in her vadge. Classic. BTW I would like to Hate-F Tyra. Holy shit she is full of herself.
YES!!! by turketron	May 15th, 2008 07:18:51 AM
HAHA, yeah, that show is the best. Small dog in the vadge for the win. And yeah... a Hate-F is definitely something I think we all would like to do to Tyra. And then release on her giant forehead...
