The CW Fall Schedule has been announced

I know that this won't be popular with a lot of my flist, but meh I really feel like the CW have gotten O/T with superhero shows now, Friday is starting to look a bit out of place with the rest of the weeks line-up! :P I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be much space for anything else on their schedules at the moment, iZombie, The 100, Reign, and Riverdale are all being held back for mid-season. I assumed that iZombie had been picked up for 18 episodes again like last year, but apparently not?

And it's looking like The Good Wife spin-off is confirmed now CBS plans 'Good Wife' spinoff led by Christine Baranski

If iZombie comes back in January,it could get at least 16 episodes like Legends of Tomorrow or The 100!

I hope so, when they first announced that it had been picked up there was no suggestion that it would be mid-season only, so I'm kind of bummed about this :( People are saying in the comments that the writing will be tighter with only 13 episodes and that this is a good thing, but I actually found season 2 even stronger than season 1, so I don't know that it's a show that will necessarily benefit from a shortened season when the main arc tends to be quite involved. I remember hearing that they assumed that they were getting 22 episodes for season 2 originally, and so they had to cram everything in to the final episodes a bit/cut out some character scenes which dealt with Liz's family, so it sounds to me like 13 episodes isn't going to be enough to fit everything in

16/17 episodes would be okay, but I'll be disappointed if it's only 13

Yeah,season 2 was definitely stronger. 16 is actually a really good number so I'm hoping for that!

The CW can't keep this up much longer tho. At some point they *have* to cancel some shows and/or have 3/day like the other networks ^^

I don't know why they don't just air shows on Saturday's at this point, or yes at 10pm, they obviously have a ton of shows that they want to fit in their schedule. They hardly ever seem to cancel any of their shows, yet there's always new ones like Supergirl and Riverdale that they need to add to the existing line-up as well

I agree r.e. iZombie, tbh I don't know how the writing COULD get tighter than season 2? That was one of the best plotted seasons of anything I've ever watched, I think, it was a real pleasure to watch all the threads come together.

Yeah with some shows I'd be all for cutting out the amount of filler and having less episodes, but iZombie does a great job with gradually developing the arc in some way for every single episode and adding in more twists, so I really don't see how they'd gain anything by being cut back to 13
