The TV Addict 

Got ya talkin.’

I work for a CW affiliate, am 22, and am actually embarrassed by this… I miss Privileged!

Yea, what does this have to do w/ the show? Why don’t they get all of their stars naked for this ad campaign? lol From “Smallville” to “Supernatural.” Because those shows have a plot and direction.? The BL has what?

WTF? CW is not even promoting SV nor SN when they have the fans….I hope CW folds once SV and SN cancels.

As a female viewer in the CW’s desired demographic, this networks shows that are supposed to be aimed at me are insulting. And I’m embarassed for my gender and generation if they are suckered in by this sort of nonsense. It seems to me that Ostroff’s goal is to prove that young women are 1. obsessed with sex, 2. obsessed with drugs, and 3. just flat out aren’t very bright.

How depressing.

I just think that poor girl’s head in the last photo has been Photoshopped to death. I feel bad for her.

Settle down, girls. Smallville is the last CW show to launch this fall (9/25), so there’s plenty of time for the network to promote the return of a 9-year-old series. The fans don’t need to be clubbed over the head, just told when/where the SV and SN premieres will be. That’s just TV marketing 101.

Across the TV spectrum (look at all other networks), everyone has to market their new shows that people are unfamiliar with; otherwise no one would even know they existed. By promoting Vampire Diaries, for instance, new viewers will also be drawn to Supernatural. And by promoting Thursday shows, viewers will then be hit hard with marketing efforts to tune in for Smallville the following night.

If you begin to look at the business of running a TV network, you’ll see everything makes much more sense…and it’s a lot smarter than just screaming mindlessly about ‘why your show isn’t promoted’ the way you think it should be. Trust me, the networks want your shows to succeed even more than YOU do.

Uh, that first guy, from The Beautiful Life, has the SAME BODY as the Tom Welling body in the Smallville promo picture. Look at it. SAME BODY.

I hate the CW, Ostroff and even Eric Kripke, but let’s face it: American viewers are exactly like this.
Everyone is obsessed with sex, romance, hates gay people and loves dumb boring tv shows with no plot and just people kissing and having sex.
That’s why the CW is still around. That’s America.
In fact outside America all these horrid shows are no where to be seen.
When Gossip Girl or 90210 aired in Europe or Australia nobody watched them and newtworks cancelled all the cw shows very fast.

And the same goes for Supernatural and Smallville. They were loved when they were good but these two shows have not been good for a long time. Outside America nobody’s watching these shows anymore, we’re not interested in angels or anoressic people here.
