The CW Upfronts

Thursday 21 May 2009
The big four US networks have had their moment, so now we get Upfronts from the second tier channels. I don't watch anything from the CW network, so I really have no investment in what's been axed or picked up for series. It seems to be the US equivalent of E4, doesn't it? I'm mildly curious about The Vampire Diaries on Thursdays @8pm, but suspect it will be more Twilight than True Blood (or even Moonlight). It's worth mentioning that Reaper has been axed, and a piloted Gossip Girl spin-off (set in the '80s) wasn't picked up...

8:00-9:00 PM GOSSIP GIRL
