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.

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.

The CW have a show starting called "Farmer Wants A Wife".

Seriously.

I thought that had already started. Been seeing ads for weeks.

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.)

And I'm pretty sure it's a European import, so not even their idea!

I love Gossip Girl, and not even in a guilty pleasure way any more - I thought the most recent episode was storytelling on par with the best episodes of VM. I'm sorry to hear that Thomas left 90210, as that's the main thing that intrigued me with it, but I too am glad for the CW and hope it keeps on keeping on for a long while to come. I think it has a place in our modern entertainment world, and I hope the creators have the flexibility to take it to that place - though the recent decision to stop streaming Gossip Girl on their website because too many people were watching it there makes me wonder. Don't make it harder for teens to watch TV in non-traditional ways, you'll lose them completely! Show some creativity and turn that into a viable revenue stream instead!

called "Farmer Wants A Wife".

From listening to NPR it sounds like it's based on a French show. Poor French farmers, I forget the actual percentage of them who are unmarried, but it was ridiculoulsy high, 70-80% or something. Someone has to give them a matchmaking hand!

So it looks like Dollhouse will be mid-season according to Nikki Finke.

I really hope I don't have to go find an edible hat. And I still find this extremely hard to believe. Seems very different than everything I have heard at work. Of course, the people scheduling don't exactly consult with me.
