And ditto Veronica Mars - series 4 at the fbi sounds like a good idea to me….

They should have just gone ahead and done season 8 of Gilmore Girls. And if they want to win back that loyal audience they mightily pissed off, they need to at the very least do the GG reunion mini-series/tele-movie.

Most of the CW’s shows do not appeal to me. I loved Everwood and the CW should have given it at least one more year — it averaged 4 million viewers, I believe, which was a lot more than Veronica Mars! I do like One Tree Hill’s new format — I like the new maturity and depth of the characters. I also have to admit that Gossip Girl grabs me, although I don’t really know why. I guess it is kind of intriguing to see how the rich live, since most of us will never be there.

Linda B,

At the risk of further angering theREELaddict, who let’s just say is slightly obsessed [in a good way!] with M. Night Shyamalan. I’ve heard some really bad things about THE HAPPENING.

Shameless plug: Check out theREELaddict.com’s latest column: In Defense of M. Night Shyamalan.

Linda B. — Definitely going to see THE HULK tonight! Thanks for the tip about the now-not-so-secret-scene that WON’T be running following the credits. Too bad, since half the fun of IRON MAN, or at least 5% of the fun was watching everyone leave the theatre knowing full well they’d miss a wicked tag to the movie [cue maniacal laugh.. hahahhaha].

Is the 10 yr. old boy in you going to see The Incredible Hulk this weekend? I checked and there’s no secret scene after the credits. Apparently due to all the people complaining about missing the one at the end of Iron Man, they moved the special scene to right before the credits start. From what I hear, it looks tacked on and should really have been put AFTER the credits as originally intended.

Simon and Linda B,

Admittedly, SMALLVILLE is the most uneven series on TV. But the 10 year old boy in me still can’t resist the Superman Mythos.

Simon, you took the words right out of my mouth. I was just going to say that!

I suppose GoGi is a “hit,” in CW terms. The net needs a breakout, buzzed-about show that it can use to gain traction with viewers for other shows. The teen audience can be loyal, but the fact that they’re getting the show elsewhere besides Mondays at 8pm on TV is a big problem. I mean, One Tree Hill usually always draws a larger rating, and it’s not nearly as interesting as GG.

What affiliates are really wondering/concerned about is: Why is the CW de-emphasizing the male audience? Believe me, WE watch TV, too…sometimes moreso than girls. The WB balanced its schedule to appeal to both sexes (and even some older folks), while tipping the balance toward women. But you can’t expect huge ratings when you’ve eliminated half the population, and are only focused on a narrow age group that has hundreds of other options. No matter how many OMG or WTF ads you run.
