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

The first thing I reacted to when I saw their lineup was the lack of iZombie until mid-season. I think it'll be better as a viewer because hopefully it'll mean fewer gaps between eps but I don't want to wait that long.

I dropped Arrow this season but am still watching The Flash. I've been dvr'ing Legends of Tomorrow to see if I like it but I gave up on Supergirl after a couple eps because the writing was shitty. The CW doesn't have that much for me at this point, although I'm interested in checking out Frequency and probably Riverdale.

That's true I suppose, the gaps do get annoying when they bring a show back for two weeks, then take another break, I'm mostly just worrying about how much the episode order might have been cut :( If it's 16 episodes then fine, but meh I don't want to go back to a half season of just 13 episodes...

I watched about 10 episodes of The Flash, but in the end I concluded that it just wasn't my thing. And I must confess that I only watched the pilot of Supergirl, I found the writing too clunky to continue with it. Those shows are clearly great adaptions when it comes to bringing the comic books to life, but frankly I found the writing of the characters on The Flash a bit shallow and hard to get invested in, so it wasn't really for me. I guess I prefer my comic book adaptions a little grittier and with more of a real world feel, whereas I get the impression that part of the appeal of shows like The Flash is that they do such a great job of feeling like they're bringing the comic book to life and making viewers feel like they're watching a live-action adaption of them?
