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

I hear you about the superhero oversaturation :/ I actually LIKE superheroes and DC comics, but I can't stand the ones on the CW--they either bore me entirely or I actively dislike them, and I can't really put my finger on why but the general tone of Legends of Tomorrow/Arrow/Supergirl just doesn't work for me.

JtV and The Originals is about the only thing I watch on the CW anymore but I'm sorry to hear about iZombie :/ I'm not even sure how all those shows are going to be able to return in midseason, and keep up with the ones who are still airing. I was really excited for Riverdale too, so I'm sad to hear about it getting sidelined into a midseason show.

Yeah I like some superhero shows (Daredevil for one!), and I used to enjoy Smallville back in the day as well, but I guess that the CW shows all feel really similar to me because they're all created by Greg Berlanti and all have very similar tones. I don't really know how to explain it, but it seems to be very much based on tha feel of comic books being taken directly from the page to live-action? And for someone who isn't a big fan of comic books, that was never going to appeal to me.

I'm definitely watching way less on the CW than I used too, just TVD (which is probably ending soon anyway) and iZombie
