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!

So iZombie is only going to be like 12 eps?

Well, nothing for me on that schedule, since I will drop The 100 after the finale and I'm tentatively interested in Riverdale (I need to see a trailer to know more) and it'll be midseason.

Are you interested in the spin-off? If they had done it two years ago, okay, but right now I can't imagine watching more of anything related to TGW.

I really need to catch up on their superhero shows. I do agree it's kinda taken over their line-up, though I do think CW's a better fit for Supergirl.

Sucks that iZombie is being held back to mid-season. :(

I don't mind about "the 100" and "Reign" as I'm not watching those shows anymore anyway, but I'm a little sad that iZOMBiE didn'T get a full season. I wish they´had made TVD "mid-season" and instead put iZOMBiE in there for a full season, but oh well...

I'm just so happy meanwhile to see Crazy Ex-Girlfriend on there. Yayyyyy.

Well i sure have been enjoying Legends Of Tomorrow.

Yeah I'm disappointed about the mid-season thing for iZombie and TO, although I expected no less for Reign. iZombie does pretty well for a CW show (0.5 demo) and TO does well too when you consider it's in the Friday death slot after TVD (0.3).

I hate the superhero takeover too. :/ It feels so formulaic and overtly cash grabby, I dunno.

Between all the DC and Marvel shows, it's definitely gotten to be too much. Especially if you add in shows like Person of Interest, that Powers adaption, and a few other odds and ends. It's amazing that we have good shows now rather than The Cape or other badly developed junk, but when most of genre tv is all the same flavor it's kinda sad.

It's a flavor I like, but it's too much.

Ugh, I was looking forward to Riverdale...and holding out hope that Jughead will be the Zdarsky version...

I would be more excited about the spin-off if was on actual CBS and not their App. or whatever.

Yeah, I kind of hate that iZombie and The Originals won't be back til mid-season.

I say they should have Arrow & Flash on the same night. Then Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow on the same night. Just seems more fitting to me. I don't understand this new line up on the CW.

It makes me sad that iZombie will only be returning in midseason. I wonder why that is?

I understand the feeling. I do like superhero shows but not only is it indeed taking over the CW schedule, but the bigger problem is that the writing is so pedestrian on these shows. We tried the two new shows this season and gave up on both halfway through, and finally dropped Arrow as well. A bunch of well written shows will keep me watching even if they are all about the same thing.

It makes sense financially though. Not only are these shows giving the CW visibility in a way they really struggled with for their first 5 years, but because they're WB shows, they're making more money from these than just the initial ratings.

I'm quite surprised they were willing to give CEG another season. That's really a novel show and gave them their first bit of attention from a major award, but I heard the ratings were dismal.

So does that mean The 100 is being held off until like January or something? I just finished watching S3 today!

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.

The Good Wife spin-off

WHAT WHAT WHAT?

I mean, Diane Lockhart deserves her own show, the goddamn queen... and I guess I'm happy that Lucca might get some character work other than Sassy Black Friend and weird Alicia/Jason shipper??? But overall I need help reacting to this.

I'm interested to see how CW fits all these shows in midseason.

I have to wait until midseason for iZombie to come back??!?!??! Did CW not watch the finale?!?! I need to know what happens next!

The 100 seems to be always held back to that time, but it works with the episode order it gets. I'd say no complaints from me but damn, I don't know what to do with myself without that crippling anxiety. lol That being said, I'm not a fan of the superhero genre so the CW seems less and less like the network I'll stick with.

I'm bummed that crazy ex girlfriend is in the Friday death slot. I hope Rachel gets an emmy and people start watching.

Hello, I came across your journal through a mutual friend and wondered if you would like to be friends? We have several things in common!

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.
