PLEASE pick up VAMPIRE DIARIES!!!Lily and Melrose should also be picked up.

[TheTVObserver]

With "Melrose Place" one can assume that TheCW is working very hard to bring back the Spelling Television quality of dramatic series not to mention the on-air look and feel. Whilst at it they should see how they could return "Savanah"

It should be interesting to see the revamped CW version of MP. That is if they pick it up. Vampire Diaries.....could this be their answer to "Dark Angel", well is there a pattern or am just too observant?

Cool list!

The only ones I really like the sound of are Body Politic and maybe Melrose Place. I might watch the pilot for Vampire Diaries, but only Body Politic and Melrose are definite 'must watch' for me!

I THINK BODY POLITIC WILL TAKE THE GREEN LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
