Tara ,'First Date'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
The network wanted a chance to re-peat tonight’s return of Vampire Diaries and Nikita on Friday to give their midseason debuts some additional sampling. Diaries, in particular, is going up against Idol. Plus, there’s some local market pre-emptions that are going to mess with the scheduling of tonight’s shows in certain cities (Chicago and Baltimore, if you must know).
And the scheduling people didn't know any of that until a day before the new ep was supposed to air?!?
Oh, that's something of a relief, Amy. Still, way to mess with what would have been one of the highlights of my birthday weekend!
Some scheduling may have been juggled due to the State of the Union?

me too! Have they no respect for birthdays?

Apparently no. Idol wasn't scheduled until the last minute.
However, NO FAIR dicking over two longtime fandoms for two newbie shows. Seriously.
So... since there was no time to advertise the pre-emption, they're just crossing their fingers that the audiences of Smallville and Supernatural will keep watching the replacement shows and call friends who normally watch the latter to notify them of the change?
Crap! I'll be working next Friday night. Maybe I can get away with tuning one of the TVs to CW.
So...if it airs in Canada or something ahead of time, how am I going to stop myself from downloading? I am a weak person.
You were actually going to think about stopping yourself? I'm not that strong, dude.
Really, I was just looking for one person to say it was okay.
That's entirely how weak I am.
