The CW's presentation of the Fall 2009 line-up makes it official that "Gossip Girl" spin-off will not be picked up anytime soon and "Privileged" is formally dismissed. Instead, the network opts to add up to the list, three brand new series "The Vampire Diaries", "Melrose Place" and "The Beautiful Life".
The spin-off dubbed as "Lily", was already previewed in an episode of the original series but there were rumors floating that it would not be picked up at all. This is apparently not true. CW President Dawn Ostroff said that this is "the toughest year" they ever had because the selection of pilots is "really, really good". She continued, "We do have room for another midseason show. We have some reality, and we'll probably have another scripted drama. We're just going to take a beat and see where we are. In all honesty, I think the Gossip Girl spinoff is the show that we would love to be able to find a place for as the season goes on."
Meanwhile, "Vampire", "Melrose" and "Beautiful" are paired with the network's established series which have the same tone. "Melrose" is taking the Tuesdays slot with "90210" which is also a refurbished version of '90s series. "Beautiful", which is about fashion models, is put on Wednesday with the lead-in from "America's Next Top Model" while "Vampire" is going to precede "Supernatural" on Thursdays.
With the excluding of "Reaper" and "Everybody Hates Chris", the fall schedule subsequently is packed with dramas and no comedy. But Ostroff defended that it is "the most cohesive lineup" they've ever had. The slogan they would like to opt this time around would be, "TV to Talk About".

what people need to understand is that most networks move popular shows such as Smallville to Fridays or other slow day becasue they are prepairing to phase them out. they did it with all the black shows. Everybody Hates Chris, Girlfriends, The Game. then eventually Girlfriends was just removed no finale no notice just turn off camera s shut down the set. no one got to see if Joan Got married or if Lynne finally got her break. Then they moved The Game to Fridays and after a season on Fridays they cut it off. also remember they do not advertise these shows like they do their counterparts. Melrose place. TBL, GOSSIP GIRL, 90210, or even that god forsaken show ANTM. eventually the CW will be for young white children the CW is struggling to survive them self. they should have kept the name the WB when they merged with UPN. Hell UPN and Should of never Merged with the the WB at least we would of had our black shows on their air. and SMALLVILLE would still be on Thursday's.
You took off the Game for a repeats of America's Top Model REALLY!!!! What is a Vampire Diary and who cares? So corny. One Tree Hill sucks butt now where is Lucas and Peyton? Melrose Place WHY are they back was hot then but now just stop this maddness please bring the Game back soon. The CW sucks now. I will not say the CW hate's black shows but REALLY.
People we need to stop making this about race... and maybe check ourselves.. like we need to boycott BET the only channel that is suppose to be for "black" ( I am aware that its owned by VH1) people but the programing is totally stupid.. and has all these white preachers and infomercials at a certain time... and I am certain that the PD over there is black... They only pick up black shows after they are repeats...stop whining about what the white people aren't doing for us its there station if they want all white shows let them have that.. we as a culture (rich poor and indifferent) need to stop buying bling, endorsing and buying their products, and get a tv station..we have the talent and the resources.....Anyway I loved the game and thought it was a kick ass show... hope someone picks it up...
This Is Dumb! That Was My Favorite Show! Im Never Watching Cw! FMLFMLFMLFML! I want my show back ASAP.
You should really bring The Game & Everybody Hates Chris back! These shows are hilarious and we have no closure to the last episode. The Game was a show that I TIVO'd every week and still watch the reruns. Why did it get canceled?? I went to your website to see when the season would start and got these msgs about it being canceled. Please bring it back it was the best show you had and we all loved it!!
i would love to know who's bright idea was it to take the game off the air???!!!!bring the show back please
What happend to The Game on CW? Its the best show on CW. Thats the only reason i watch cw. Please bring it back please.
I am white and I LOVE The Game!! Bring it back please! Its not finish yet. You got plenty of these teeny bopper shows on here...Melrose Place, 90210, Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill...ridiculous! Bring Back The Game...would be the best thing CW ever did!
Bring the Game back no closure? Melrose Place? Really??? I hope Tyra moves from the CW network too...
omg the game is the best show ever!!!pls make more shows, i need more shows.
Come on now....Please bring the Game. Back on. Now I really do believe the CW is racist..every black sitcom you guys take it off. That's some B.S. And then you bring all them stupid other shows on man please. WE WANT THE GAME..WE WANT THE GAME
The Game needs to come back this season! What a great show! It seems as though the black shows never stand a chance. I know a lot of people (black and white) who love that show. PLEASE bring it back!
UGH... vampire diaries on THURSDAY! I already have 2 other shows in that time slot. CW better put the episodes online.
The Game and Everybody Hated Chris are great shows, (regardless of ethnicity). The fact that the CW is considering replaing them with those other shows is ridiculous. But I guess they will find out when they fail.
My husband and I loved watching Reaper together! We want it back!
I think the CW programming is a disgrace for the fall. Just when you find a show that you really like on Friday. You take it off the air. I hope your rating suffer because of this.
Bring THE GAME BACK!
Who don't like black shows like the game change yo dam channel yall got plenty of white sitcoms. I'm a game watcher bring it back to whom ever wine on that
Ilove the game please somebody anybody pick this show up for the fall iwant to know wat happen to mel kelly life I love this show do it for black america
I love the game please bring it back that show is about real issues please bring it back iluv mel derwin tosia kelly jason please please reconsider
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how big of a mistake your network has made by canceling the game!! as a network, can you at least give your loyal viewers the respect they deserve, by give us another season of the show, and giving your loyal viewers closure. persuade KELSEY GRAMMER to do another season of THE GAME,
The Cw IS a racist network, i mean seriously, how many shows do we need about slutty white girls being rich, whinny, and sleeping their way to the top?? i guess this is how they get thier inspiration to live in the real world because thats all they do is mimic these fake-ass shows!!!
No African American comedy shows this time,huh?Im just wondering why?I think "the game' ans everybody "hates chris" was doing well.No one wants to see small ville and those other shows come on give me a break.
I have watched Smallville on and off for a few years. I stopped watching altogether because MR wasn't coming back and each season the episodes became mind numbing. My question is why is it so IMPORTANT, nay, life threatening, that T.W. is in a Superman suit. From Chris Reeve (who will always opitimize SUPERMAN), to that Roth guy, the suit looks that same on ANY tall, muscular, white guy. I don't understand this rabit need for the suit to be worn by T.M. Will T.M. acting abilities approve if he wears the suit? (Because really, the boy can't act worth a damned). Another problem I have with Smallville is the need for Clark/Superman and Lois Lane to be together. Once again, what is the importance of this match up. We know they fall in love and somehow have a kid together. Why is their a need for more seasons for them to finally be together on screen? That means torturing some us with more seasons of mind numbing episodes. *Sigh* You would have to have been living under a rock in the middle of the dessert to *not* to know what is going to happen with the show's main characters. I'm not downing on the show but, if Smallville characters lifestyles changes such as the Green Lantern turns gay or Lois Lane becomes a lesbian, its time to let the show go.
I am so tired of loving a t.v show and then you guys take it off the air to put on nothing but white actors and actresses, the game was a good funny show that left us with a cliffhanger and now you take it off and for what reason. The actors were awesome and the story line was very interesting. You need to start asking the people that actually watch the show and get there opinion instead of just blowing us off. we as the viewers should have a say so. CW I AM REALLY VERY DISAPOINTED YOU COULD HAVE MADE A MUCH BETTER CHOICE, I HOPE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND A BRING BACK A REALLY GOOD SHOW.
I can't believe you would honestly take The Game off and bring some stupid unreal crap like Vampires. What is the deal with the CW segregation of black and white shows every season? Now I know what the W in CW stands for...WHITE!!!
i love the game, a show with a storyline like that should have been given the green light to explore more into this new reality the characters were going to face....instead they keep pointless shows on well when those shows get cancelled i hope y'all remember the good shows that could keep viewers..the game was the ONLY reason I watched the CW (my friends don't watch the CW either) so CW PRES. you are supposed to attract viewers from every demographic..
I don't understand why 3 good shows were taken off the air and you leave ANTM which has really gotten stale. I don't think you really thought this through you have really lost a lot of viewers.
As a black woman, I'm not trying to say that you should keep on the "black" shows simply because of my race...but The Game was seriously the sh*t! There were so many unanswered questions when the season ended! Having said that, it was nice to have a show that black people could relate too! Most every show on television stars white people with their white friends, and MAYBE the token black guy. Can't we just have 1????
Both The Game & Everybody Hates Chris are good and very entertaining shows. Why did they let them go?Smallville is pretty cool. But Top Model & Vampire Diaries?? Pleeeeze....
I am really disappointed in the CWs fall lineup. They got rid of all the great shows and picked up "Vampire Diaries" I loved the semi pilot for a Gossip Girl spinoff. That would have been way better than another season of that stupid Americas Next Top Model.
I think the game should have stayed on the air,many fans are every upset about the show being cancelled I think ratings are going to drop from the change, Please put (The Game) back on the air.
smallville should be on thursdays & black shows are still whinny !!!!!!
smallville should be back on thurdays !!!!! & black shows are boring and whinny !
smallville should be back on thurdays !!!!! & black shows are boring and whinny !
CW is another racist channel. Vampires are you serious? I hope the entire network goes down!
please rethink what you are doing to the network next your going to say you are going to remake the a-team or air wolf you guys need to stop reapere was good supernatural is good you guys are going to lose alot of viewers and who wans to see antm same episode twice in one week please reconsider changing smallville back to thrursdays and move vampire diaries to friday with another new show you guys are going to lose against smackdown thats is why smackdown moved to fridays because they couldnt compete with smallville but now you guys really have to bring great shows out this year with smallville
smallvile on friday competing with smackdown not going to work
Everybody Hates Chris and Privileged were my favorite shows. This is why UPN and WB should have been kept seperate. Everybody Hates Chris and The Game would have still been on the air if UPN was still a network.
No The Game and Everybody Hates Chris mean less viewers for the CW...you should listen to the people that watch the shows. I was a huge fan of both shows and now have NO REASON WHATSOEVER to watch the CW
I can't believe another station has taken off ALL the BLACK shows! CW your ratings will fall and you yourself will be a distant thought on television..... RACISTS R U ALL!!!!!!!!!
With the Black shows gone, I no longer have any relatable shows to watch on CW....and ANTM is not going to get it as the "token" show!!!
What happened to at least one family show. Those were the days of cw.
now you know putting Smallville on Fridays is the kiss of Death!
I don't understand a few things. 1st Smallville and Supernatural go hand in hand. If you break them up you will lose viewers. 2nd why is there another dose of ANTM? Personally, that show lost my interest after the first season. Skinny girls fighting like children to try and be better than the other skinny girls is not something our society needs to be watching anyway. In this economy I would think that a company would want to keep viewers. I suggest putting Smallville back with Supernatural. taking off that rerun ANTM and do a thank goodness its friday and fill it with the comedies you previously had aired and maybe some new ones. I also checked out the Vampire Diaries and even though I am a vampire fan (Buffy and Angel) that show looks like you are trying to reel in on those twilight teens. The plot could have been better.
will the cw just lost 9 viewers! i had all my family watching it. I want to see what is real in life. not no fake white girls thinking they got drama because they dont have money!! hopefully BET will pick it..!
The cw is racist. You cancelled all the black shows.
Why are you cancelling the game
i will NEVER watch thw cw again you suck
Instead of a re-run of ANTM.....why not keep The Game and Chris on the air....if no comedies, then why not pick up the dramedy of the Game.....im confused......I mean seriously!!!!!!
It is a shame that a show from the 1990's can come back and replace all the black shows. They left us with unanswered questions from The Game. Can you tell me why black shows don't make it on television?
Why is smallville on FRIDAYS? It has been on Thursdays forever!!!! Not HAPPY all smallville fans need to get together and let CW know we dont like the friday slot
Any Reaper fans? Although the CW is not picking up Reaper, we not giving up yet. Hollywood Reporter is STILL saying ABC Studios is still trying to move the show into syndication or cable. We're advocating all Reaper fans to write their CW affiliates. Links don't work here, so google "reaperdmv" to get all the links and addresses. And don't forget to contact ABC Studios and thank them for not giving up on Reaper.
Reaper is great show bring it back!
What happened to The Game & Everybody Hates Chris? Oh wait those are all black shows they never stood a chance! The CW is full of it!
