CW Network does not have enough talented people to create interesting and creative shows. For the past several years it has down in ratings and it is going to slide more. The Network needs to hire people who know what they are doing and have some talent.

Gee, another show on CW featuring spoiled rich teens... Why am I not surprised? But you're wrong about one thing... the CW has at least one show that is interesting, creative, and has talented people both in front of and behind the camera: Supernatural.

hey wat about the new BH, 90210 spin-off???

These all sound terrible. Good thing there are so few pilots here. It gives Reaper and Aliens in America a WAY higher chance of being renewed.

Geez CW, get a clue. You've got a gem like Supernatural and you're coming up with grabage like this?

The CW makes teen soaps primarily so many of these pick-ups aren't surprising.
CW has much more interesting shows than CBS like Supernatural and Reaper. And Austin Medical Hour sounds fantastic by the way.

Yeah, it sounds fantastic, I mean, I think there can be a good show in it, emergency medical help, private life of surgeons... I only dislike the title, maybe something like... ER, or maybe Grey's Anatomy, what do you think?

You could say that with just about any show featuring doctors. It's the details that matters

Well there is now some big space on friday since CW will not have Smackdown next season and I'm sure two of those shose could fit.
I like Austin Golden Hour because it seem like it focusing everyone everyone on the staff...It has a scrubs feel but more drama then dramedy

Any comedy pilots because god they need new comedy? Plus any word on new reality programs this up coming season (for Cw)?

I wish the CW would be willing to pickup Moonlight. I hate to see that t.v. series go.
