Okay I tried to post a link to the article "The CW Renews ALL 11 Series For Next Season, Including Veterans ‘Supernatural’ & ‘The Vampire Diaries’", but I kept being told that deadline is 'banned for spam' for some reason?

But anyway, awesome news! I was starting to worry about iZombie as so many people seemed convinced that the ratings were pretty terrible and it was at risk, so I'm pleasantly surprised that we're getting a third season. And I'm still here for The Vampire Diaries of course! Although I do hope that we will get confirmation on whether the 8th season is going to be the last or not, I'm not sure that it needs a 9th or 10th season, but I definitely wouldn't have been ready to let it go after this season when there's been no real build-up to it being the end

It feels strange that I only watch two CW shows these days actually, I used to watch four or five of their shows, but I'm not as into the superhero shows that they've been focusing on lately I suppose. Lol I know I'm too old for them these days, but I can't help wishing that they would bring back at least one high school focused teen show to their schedule, the WB and CW used to be known for those shows after all! Still I suppose that you can't really blame them for sticking with the male demo instead, those shows do seem to do a lot better for them ratings-wise

Some sites get flagged as spam when you try to link them in a post, I find. Which is odd, but it's why I find other sources to link.

I'm actually surprised there aren't more teen dramas, since those were incredibly popular, but it seems that most of those are on ~~ABC Family~~ Freeform now. CW is kind of an oddball since most of their programming and targeting a specific demographic. The only show I watch now on that place is Legends of Tomorrow. Other than that, I don't even know anymore.

Then again, I do miss the variety that the WB used to have back in the day, where it would be a wide range of programs from teen shows and other dramas to comedies and whatnot.

It's the first time that happened for me, so I was a bit confused *g*

And true, I remember hearing that the CW were originally offered PLL and turned it down, which surprised me because it's the sort of buzz worth teen drama (based on a book series with a pre-existing fanbase!) that you'd think they'd have been snapping up? They really seem to be going in a whole new direction lately, but it's a shame not to continue the WB's legacy when it comes to focusing on younger people :(
