Generally speaking, mid-season network shows go to work around the same time as fall shows. The exception to that rule are usually any series ordered after the upfronts, like Drive.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Hey. New board.
whatever Rob Thomas puts out there.
That would be this Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff that, bog willing, will be paired with Gossip Girl for two hours of catty awesomeness next year.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Thomas has stopped working on the 90210 pilot. He is focusing on the Cupid 2.0 pilot and the Outrageous Fortune pilot both for ABC. That doesn't bode well for the 90210 show and I wasn't able to stomach GG after a few episodes so I guess I won't really be missing out there.
I'll give 90210 a shot, but my expectations are incredibly low on anything coming out on CW. I'm glad Reaper seems to be getting picked up and I'll always watch the Winchester Boys, but other than that, CW as a network, needs to be canceled.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jennie Garth's going to be on the 90210 show. Ha.

I disagree. The CW is still a network where a good show can survive with 3 to 5 million in ratings (as opposed to twice or three times that number for the big networks.) If not for CW and its predecessors, shows like Buffy and Voyager would have been canceled after 4 or 5 episodes. We literally wouldn't be here. I just ignore the crapola they put on in between the shows I like (Reaper, Supernatural and a finally halfway-watchable Smallville) and hope crapola doesn't replace one of them.

Wolfram, I just don't see the CW surviving the way it has been going. It might take a couple years, but I think it will fold. They are already farming out their Sunday nights in some weird way so that they won't have to program for it anymore. It is not a good sign. I just hope that we get five seasons of Supernatural before it gives up the ghost.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The CW have a show starting called "Farmer Wants A Wife".
Seriously.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I thought that had already started. Been seeing ads for weeks.

Art Crawl!!!
It's started.
They've got some daytime stuff going on too - I don't know if that's good or bad. (And I believe that they lost wrestling - which was not good for them.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I'm pretty sure it's a European import, so not even their idea!
