"You're going to get what you deserve."- Trent Reznor
Excuse the harshness of the title but I simply can't put it any other way! It looks like Queen Bitch, Dawn Ostroff (the President of the CW and formally of the failed UPN) is about to get what she deserves this coming television season.
It popped into my head a while ago that Supernatural and Smallville were basically the only two things holding the CW up. Now here's the thing: Both shows are predicted to end next year and that spells out DOOM for their network, the CW.
Supernatural's, creator has stated time and time again that he's got a five-year plan and that he plans on ending the show after the storyline is all used up afterwards. With next season being the show's fifth season, it's obvious that the five-year plan is almost done with and it'll most likley end on a high note next season as planned. Both Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have both made it clear numerous times that they'll only stay with the show as long as it sticks to Kripke's plan and maybe do a feature film afterwards, so there's one of CW's lifeboats gone.
Now, for my second-favorite show ever, Smallville.... I mean, c'mon! It's going into the ninth season, most of the original cast has left and the main actor, Tom Welling, has also made it clear that he's not interested in a tenth season. Lets not forget that the CW slit their own throats by placing the show in the infamous "Friday Night Death Slot" for the upcoming season that's claimed the likes of countless series throughout the years. So, without a doubt, there goes the CW's other lifeboat!
Honestly, if you ask me, the CW is already living on borrowed time and with both Supernatural and Smallville most likley ending next year, I have a feeling that that entire channel is going to die pretty soon afterwards. In other words, like the title states.... the CW is fucked!
The funny thing is that after failing to support in particular, Supernatural, for four years by cutting the show's budget, not promoting the show at all and overlooking the show for it's almost entire run, the CW's President (despised by fans) Dawn Ostroff all of a sudden wants to jump on the show's bandwagon to hopefully get the show to stay on longer than what the show's creator has had planned since the beginning of the show because of this past season's sky-rocketed ratings. I mean, what a money-grubbing bitch!
I'm very glad that the CW is going to suffer because of their treatment to such quality shows like Supernatural, Angel, Birds of Prey and Reaper that actually make a difference to people by being relatable, epic and/or by being a source of relief from daily life with a meaningful message instead of the apathetic types of shows that promote, in my opinion, immoral behavior like Gossip Girl, 90210 and America's Next Top Model. Their misery is pretty laughable to me.
In other news....
Unfortunatley, this past week has seen Reaper's cancellation in what's been called the "2009 Sweep of Cancellations" because this past year has seen the most cancellations in the past ten years with 53 shows already cancelled or unrenewed by their networks. For me, that meant the end of some of my favorites: Life, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and most recently Reaper.
