New CW lineup

From Variety Feb 5-11, 2007.

 

After a decent launch, the pressure’s on for the CW to begin carving out its identity.

With staples such as “Gilmore Girls” and “7^th Heaven” anything but sure bets to return next fall, the newbie net needs to create shows that engender fierce loyalty from the net’s core 12-34 aud— and fill some potential holes.

One hopeful is “Reaper,” an hour about a bounty hunter who reclaims souls for Satan – an idea that seems like a good fit with “Supernatural” or even “Smallville.”

It’s easy to see the net giving the thumbs up to the sudsy Josh Schwartz-penned “Gossip Girl” as either a companion (or replacement) for “Gilmore.” And if “7^th Heaven” goes away, family drama “Wild at Heart” seems a suitable feel-good replacement.

CW also has a rookie cop drama in the works, and was still expected to pick up a few more hours.

"Reaper" could be cool, am looking forward to checking that out, and pairing it with "Supernatural" seems like a good idea, however that depends on how "Reaper" will turn out.
