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

I think those kind of shows have never done all that well ratings-wise, but it always felt like the WB, and then the CW, were happy to support shows like that for the sake of the younger demo, so it's a shame that they don't have even *one* equivalent to Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Dawson's Creek, etc these days. The bigger networks rarely pick up shows like that, so it always felt like a niche network like the WB/CW was the ideal platform for them, but not so much these days

And yeah I saw a lot of predictions that TVD would end this season, and that made sense as seven seasons is a good run, but it just never felt like the last season, so I hope they do get the chance to announce ahead of time when it is the end, that way they can work towards that all season and make it more nostalgic for the fans
