So as many of us know, the WB and UPN are merging into one network, forming the CW. The network will combine the top shows from both networks, including new series like the Aquaman adaptation, Mercy Reef.
The network will announce their full schedule for the fall on May 18, so I thought it would be a great time for everyone to throw in their inputs on what they'd like to see on the network come fall. What's your fantasy weeknight lineup for the CW? Remember, the network will air primetime programming on weeknights in a 8-10 PM block.
I'll start:
Monday:
8 PM - Mercy Reef
9 PM - Everwood
(Reason: With NBC going the reality route on Mondays, Fox going the thriller route, and CBS going the comedy route, teaming up these two shows allows the CW to bring its hopeful successor to Smallville and one of its most critically successful dramas together to capture that young audience it so desires at the beginning of the week.)
Tuesday:
8 PM - Gilmore Girls
9 PM - Veronica Mars
(Reason: This one is a no brainer. The two shows were made for each other, and teaming them up on the same night is the best scenario for both shows.)
Wednesday
8 PM - Everybody Hates Chris
8:30 PM - Girlfriends
9 PM - America's Next Top Model
(Reason: Teaming up the two most successful black comedies on the UPN makes perfect sense. Follow that hour with the biggest reality show for The CW, and you've got a good alternative lineup against the rest of the network shows on Wednesday nights.)
Thursday:
8 PM - Smallville
9 PM - Supernatural
(Reason: This duo has done well together on the WB, so keeping them on the same night is an easy choice.)
Friday:
8-10 PM - WWE Friday Night SmackDown!
(Reason: You can't really go wrong with a little wrestling on Friday nights, can you? )
Obviously the network will also have a Sunday night lineup, but I'm too lazy to figure that in.
