[...] Body Politic trailer. Remember how great The WB used to be with shows like Dawson’s Creek and Felicity? We need a show like that. Why does The CW only want to revamp old shows like 90210? [...]

I agree with you fully. I am really hoping we get to see Body Politic on The CW. That’s a show that has some of the heart the network (WB) used to have.

The only show I watch now on the CW is Supernatural. I did watch the first season of the Game, but then that show started to change. Seems like all they ever did was sit around drinking wine and complaining about men. As much as I used to like Smallville, that is a show that should have been canceled a few seasons ago. Not that Tom Welling is not lovely :]
Seems likes the CW could think of something better to do then to remake Melrose Place. Really…Melrose Place…really. As long as Dean & Sam are on Thursday nights, I will watch. Mmmm Dean.

I can understand business decisions but Veronica Mars had the same ratings as Gossip Girl so it was really a direction towards subjects like riich teens and fashion, but i will not deny that your target audience (teens girls) mostly like that.
And by the way Kristen Bell is a movie star level but Jason Dohring too (you didn’t pick up Body Politic sorry for you).

Paul, thanks so much for posting (even if my post came off with a bit of an edge to it). I do appreciate it.

I still can’t say I’m not incredibly disappointed with the lack of Body Politic (it’s the first pilot I’ve ever gotten invested in), but I do really appreciate you taking the time to share your insight.

I agree with most of what you are saying, The CW is mindless entertainment, but I have to say, Gossip Girl is one of the best drama shows out there, of course, it doesn’t teach you anything, but at least they have well written storylines!
But I agree, let’s not focus on teen girls anymore, The CW needs to have some variety and quality!
