New CW lineup

[roguem]

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 “7th 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.

Ummm, Reaper sounds like a remake of Brimstone! Brimstone was a pretty cool show - you should look and see if you can DL the eps.

[sebastian_tombs]

thats exactly what I was thinking! With a very entertaining Satan

[roguem]

Cool.
From what i saw at IMDB, Brimstone didn't do to well, but am def gonna see if I can find it.
Love the premise.

[lizamarie]

Reaper sounds very good. It makes me think of Giles, though that was spelled Ripper. ;)

[roguem]

Hehe, really? Was that what the 'Ripper' show was supposed to be about?
I'm looking forward to seing what it is though.

[lizamarie]

It was about Giles' younger days as a rebel, I think? Then it was supposed to be made as a 2 hour movie for BBC then... nothing happened. *sigh*

[roguem]

Yeah, I remember the talk about it, it was supposed to be called 'Ripper', because that was his nickname when he was younger.
Think the project is dead now though..

Hva var det den serien het om ham som kom tilbake fra helvete for å hente sjeler, en for hver synd han hadde begått eller noe sånn)... ? Husker ikke, jeg fikk bare sett noen få episoder, det gikk på tv her i for noen år tilbake.. Husker jeg yntes det var gøy, men det gikk så sent på kvelden.
Fikk meg bare til å tenke på det.
Har du sett den serien Dexter forresten? Den er jeg litt sugen på å se. Lurte på om jeg skulle laste ned noen episoder..

[ladywolf_]

Ja, ok det var Brimstone det.. Never mind then..

[roguem]

No worries. Det var visst bare 13 episodar av Brimstone.
Er jo forviten på det no, så vil sjå om eg finn den ein plass og.

Dexter har eg sett, og skrevet ein del om her og. ;)
Knallbra serie!

[ladywolf_]

Jeg vet... Synd det der med Brimstone, syntes den var litt ok..

Men Dexter skal jeg se. Når jeg leste om den så bare visste jeg at den var rett opp min gate.

i'll still only watch Supernatural on the CW. and if it moves from 9 p.m. Thursday, it'll have to get time- and/or dayshifter.

[roguem]

Time shifter?
Why?
Do you only get to watch one show?

[trystan830]

i have a show Sunday at 10, Monday at 9, Tuesday at 9 & 10, Wednesday two shows at 10, Thursday at 9, Friday two shows at 9 and one at 10. Hubby also has a show Sunday at 8 and 10, Monday at 9, and Friday at 9, which are different than mine at those times.

and i finish reading to the kids for bedtime at 9.

as it is, i dayshift Medium and timeshift Las Vegas and Monk.

... stop looking at me like that....

[roguem]

Okay, kind of think I understand now. Heh.
I get it. Sheduling is hard.

Reaper does look cool, I have to agree. As long as it doesn't take SPN spot, I'll be happy to watch it. Do we even know if the show has been renewed for a 3rd season yet?

You should check out Dexter, its really good!

[roguem]

I don't think it will take SPN's spot. If they do the right thing and make it creepy enough, maybe they can put it after SPN.
No shows have been renewed yet as far as I know, but I highly doubt SPN will be cut at this point.

I know. I've been ramling on about it in here for a while. ;)
Great show.

[fresco_senorita]

Of course I knew you were watching Dexter. ;P I feel like a bad lj friend not knowing whos watching what. What episode are you on?

[roguem]

Hehe, no worries.
I've finished it a while ago... think it was either the end of December or early January.
