Yeah, Everwood being fit for syndication plus OTH gets more press so that was probably what made the decision.

As for Pepper Dennis, I'm not too heartbroken. It's always tougher for a midseason show on ANY network and the ratings weren't out of this world. Given the choice between that and OTH, I understand the choice.

From the look of the drama pilots they picked up, it looks like they could be going for an older audience. I hope Runaway ends up being a big hit for them. It looks like it could be a 24-esque show.

Everwood had better ratings but One Tree Hill had better ratings in the key demos. The main reason why Everwood lost so much steam was because of the constant shuffling. On top of that, the show ran in blocks and was always bumped for a new show that ended up getting cancelled. It's ridiculous.

One Tree Hill has the chance to be the next "BH90210" in the eyes of their people. As long as there are higher ups who are fans of the show, they will be safe. Don't be surprised if some major cast changes happen soon. Daneel Harris (ex-Shannon, OLTL) has already been upgraded to a contract next year so she may be getting a family too.

The CW has the chance to make the "Big 4" change it's name. It's gonna take some smart marketing and good writing to pull it off. Pairing some of it's lower rated shows with higher rated ones is smart, very smart. The CW needs to be smart and not put their major shows up against ratings Blockbusters such as American Idol.

Oh my gosh, you guys, I would have SO enjoyed being a fly on the wall when the main actors for the new "7th Heaven" heard the news. That must have been SUCH a moment!!! :)

But don't you see, that's the thing? "Dennis" wasn't given a fair shake. It wasn't just on during a midseason. It was on during the END of a network. I'm sure some viewers even said, "Why bother?" because of that. "Dennis" was a good show and for that reason alone, CW execs should have faith in the show and the promotion they could give it. (Notice I use present tense words...I am NOT, by any means, GIVING UP!!!)

I disagree. "The Bedford Diaries" was pure, unadulterated [!@#$%^&*], to be polite. "Dennis" was a gem. There' still hope. I have to believe that The CW wouldn't give up so easily on quality. Especially if one of their series bombs. They could still order eps.

I can't wait to watch The CW, although I don't understand why they picked up OTH instead of Everwood.

Sad for Reba, it was a good/simple show. Now I have to wait to see what is going to happen with House (Fox) because I want to be able to watch VM, but if I have to decide between those two, House will get my vote.

Dennis was/is a bad show IMO

TV Guide is reporting this schedule:

Monday: 7th Heaven, Runaway

Tuesday: Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars

Wednesday: Top Model/Beauty and Geek, One Tree Hill

Thursday: Smallville, Supernatural

Friday: Wrestling

Sunday: Everybody Hates Chris, All of Us, Girlfriends, The Game

With Reba returning midseason with a 13 episode reprieve.

Looks like the only show I'll be watching is "Everybody Hates Chris." And I'll have to tape it because I'll have to watch "The Amazing Race," unless football pushes TAR back 30 minutes.

Yay for OTH :) and I don't think it deserved to be cancelled at all. I think it going against American Idol hurt it's ratings and they should have never changed it from Tuesday's nights. I just wish it got back it's slot after Gilmore Girls back but I can't complain :)

Not true.

Dennis WAS a "bad show," before TPTB took a genius cue from The CW and fired the "hard news" director at WEIE after a switch in management, favoring the young guy who went for a different direction in the station's news package ("newstainment," lol). The show had a shaky start, I'll give you that, but the last two eps have been incredibly addictive. This show is like "Mary Tyler Moore" crossed with "Ally McBeal," and it's highl entertaining. The CW execs are FOOLS if they let this gem get away. Josh Hopkins and Rebecca Romijn are magic together. Brooke Burns is a lovable dork. The show is burning on all cylinders. It's HOT!

The only one I watch is Supernatural. It does a good job of filling that Buffy void. :) I like how it had both the longterm arc of the guys searching for the demon and their father yet each episode had a different story, a different bit of folklore. And the season finale was a smash. :lol:;)

    • Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy".
    • Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL
    • Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.
    • Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".
    • Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)
    • Does anyone have January 6, 1999 (2958) in english?
    • Thank You very much for the info

    • Thanks for this. I probably remember Empty Nest more fondly than a lot of folks, even in our age group. I remember mainly watching the later seasons whenever I was home on Sat nights simply because Sophia was added to the cast, even though the show seriously lost its momentum after Kristy McNichol left. Always surprised how long NBC just let it run and disappointed on how it became lost/forgotten over time. A few years back once was discussing old tv shows with some folks and they brought how they remembered Kristy McNichol in Family, but none of them remembered Empty Nest until I pushed pertinent details on them.    Fun fact, Grace Zabriskie, best known for her  work on Twin Peaks, appeared in both the series premiere and series finale. (BTW @kalbir I’ve come across some very interesting 1995-96 weekly ratings & commentary look out for them in the next couple days in the 90’s ratings thread!) The 1980-81 season was NBC’S nadir for everything wasn’t it? Primetime was a disaster, daytime was in the toilet, News & Today show were forgotten about, SNL nearly on its last ropes etc. think Johnny Carson was the one thing pushing NBC through and even his show went from 90 mins to 60 mins. Glad they did give Hill Street Blues a Chance though.  Strange CBS Friday nights the Incredible Hulk was only at #46 leading into the #3 and #1 shows. Benson didn’t look too great either. The 8:00/7:00 Fri night slot really was cursed for the duration of the 80’s and 90’s wasn’t it, save for Full House? NBC wouldn’t have a successful newsmagazine until Dateline in what 1991, 1992? Funny though as of 2025 only the original recipe 60 Minutes still does well, as its competitors 20/20, Dateline, Primetime Live or companion shows like 48 Hours are either dead or useless junk to fill out a schedule.
    • You could just say you didn't like the actress from Halloweentown without attacking looks.  Not cool
