"Over the past three seasons, we have made it our mission to grow and to broaden out our audience, and to keep raising the bar with the quality and impact of our new shows, and THE FLASH and JANE have both exceeded our expectations on all counts. I'm thrilled to announce full season orders for both of these terrific new series."

awesome!
ReplyDeleteJane the Virgin: 1
My low expectations: 0
Not surprised for The Flash (it's awesome!) but HELL YES to Jane the Virgin!! This show is such a big surprise for me and I'm already falling in love with it. Also, Gina Rodriguez is a gem.
ReplyDeleteNice! Is the first full season pick up for any network? Congrats to The Flash and to Jane.
ReplyDeletelol about time (for the flash anyway)
ReplyDeleteno, Gotham HTGAWM, and Black-ish have all got full season orders.
ReplyDeleteDuh The Flash. Bit surprised at Jane the Virgin, though.
ReplyDeleteWoww!!! Great for both, I love them!!
ReplyDeleteso one new show replaces T100 which I assume will have to air without Arrow as a lead in for at least a couple of episodes or the new show wont have a lead in at all? and the other will replace Reign which I think will be bumped to Friday?
ReplyDeleteIt premiered to a 0.6 on a monday night
ReplyDeleteCould crash for all we know.
ReplyDeleteThey both have been doing well lately in ratings and viewes but having a full 22 episode order will determine if it will be renewed btw I'm rooting for the messengers and I zombie as well but I can't be sure if all will be renewed
ReplyDeleteReally surprised CW gave full season order to JTV even after the final episode 2 ratings are in. For all we know, it could crash in the coming weeks.
ReplyDeletevery likely, still it's a win for that night....for now
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I'd have expected them to let it play out for a few more weeks first.
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteyeah, but i don't see it hitting 0.3's before spring, so ..!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the adjustments, especially in Houston, which is one of the bigger affiliaties, they might expect less adjustments.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised too but not in a bad way, and I don't even watch it. I thought they may have hesitated a while longer considering how Reign has disappointed.
ReplyDeleteNot surprises with Flash. Im happy with JTV!
ReplyDeleteactually it might hit 0.3s around january, still...22 episodes is a good run for a show as easily syndicatable as JtV
ReplyDeleteHappy for both , especially for Jane :)
ReplyDeleteBut i am afraid what will this mean for Reign in midseason
I only see 2 possibilities, sending Reign to Friday with HoD and keeping BatB for Summer. Or maybe premiere new show after The Flash (so it can get amazing lead in) and send Supernatural to Friday since it has pretty loyal fan-base, with HoD ?
Yay for both! The CW is doing so great so far with the pilot shows!
ReplyDeleteYea most likely Reign will be moved to Friday's and The 100 will end before Arrow which leaves 2 spots open for Izombie and The messengers unless the CW is deciding to give one of their shows a summer time slot
ReplyDeleteAwesome for The Flash. Surprising for Jane The Virgin. I didn't expect a full season order this soon.
ReplyDeletebear in mind you can easily air re-runs of such a light show. 22 episodes is a good shot.
ReplyDeleteAlso: it's a CBS show
So CBS should be next to give full season orders, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI know The CW wants to proof something with giving the order at the same time, but still think JtV will implode. But who knows they maybe teach me otherwise.
ReplyDeleteSo Cw will have some big scheduling issues, especially if Reign bounces back. But let's see. . .
Not surprised about The Flash, Jane the Virgin on the other hand is a bit surprising.
ReplyDeleteI am about tired of people trying to ship Supernatural back to Friday's to make room for other shows. The only shows that should be on Friday, if on at all, are Reign, BaTB and HoD. Everything else on the CW is holding it's own. Stop trying to fling SPN around like a red-headed step child. Mon/Tues/Wed are good, Thursday's are poor to middling. Move SPN to one of those nights if need be and those nights will still be good, Thursdays would be better but no way in hell do I want SPN paired with TVD.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think all of the CW's pilots are going to out do Reign, BatB and HoD so they should ship them all to the summer and let them burn off.
They only need a vacant slot for iZombie.
ReplyDeleteVery happy about both! Yes!!
ReplyDeleteSo unbelievably happy about Jane the Virgin!!
ReplyDeleteI am not saying i want them to send Supernatural away. I am just saying i think it is a possibility, because lets be honest, none of other CW shows has as big loyal fan-base as Supernatural :) and at this moment , Supernatural has the best lead in possible, which i don't think it needs. The Flash could give a nice boost to other show, since i think Supernatural could get 1.0 on it's own too :)
ReplyDelete.... Anyway, i am very interested to see how will they do their midseason schedule
How much i hope they would get at least 2 more hours a week of broadcasting ... if they got/bought (i do not really know how it works) Tuesday 10 PM slot after Supernatural i could see The Cw getting nice numbers there too
No surprise here, especially after JtV's ratings had an uptick last night. Good for both and good for the CW for getting at least one season out of the relatively inexpensive to produce Jane the Virgin.
ReplyDeleteJust finally release trailers for iZombie and The Messengers and it will be perfect day
ReplyDeleteThis x100. The flash is fantastic and knew it would get picked up, but Jane the Virgin is truly one of a kind and Gina is amazing!
ReplyDeleteJTV will be down to 0.4's by the spring
ReplyDeleteI guess the CW liked the critical response JTV has been getting, their shows don't always do well with the critics so perhaps they wanted to stick by it. Who knows figuring out the CW and how they renew/cancel/extend shows is a mystery at times!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. Both of these shows are a great addition to the CW line-up. I particularly love Jane The Virgin because it is different in comparison to the other CW shows and it's funny as hell.
ReplyDeleteYAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!! I am *so* thrilled. I knew The Flash pickup was coming, but I don't care about that...at all. But JtV, best new fall show along with Gotham and Marry Me (so far)... Episode 2 was as good or better than the pilot. THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteNot surprised the Flash got a full season order but so happy it's 23 episodes like Arrow, JTV isn't as bad as I thought but a full season order this early? It's a little weird.
ReplyDeleteif it is. they still gonna air the full season so. Nothing bad there
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so happy, I like both shows and can't wait for more!
ReplyDeleteThe Flash is great so good news.
ReplyDeleteJtV adjusted down to 0.5. Has CW mad a rash decision?
ReplyDeletemight have, guess we should wait till next week when hopefully it isnt pre-empted so we can get a better idea of how its doing?
ReplyDeleteI think it will air all its episodes too maybe not on Monday or even during the regular season but it will air all its episodes. CW can still cut the order if ratings drop further.
ReplyDeleteWell, Flash was just a matter of time with those ratings.
ReplyDeleteAnd well I guess I'm happy for those that enjoy Jane the Virgin, but I'm so not in the inteded target audience there.
I'm not surprised that The Flash got picked up so quickly. It's obvious that fans love the show, but it's more important for CW to see the ratings, too, which are great. I really do love The Flash and I'm extra-happy that we'll get an extra episode at 23.
ReplyDeleteNow let's see if we can't get Caity Lotz to play Kara Zor-El on whichever network is doing Supergirl.
I think SPN is great on Tuesday so keep it there.
ReplyDeleteIm so happy about Jane the Virgin!! It's surprisingly good!!!! Yesterday's episode was my first episode and I couldn't stop laughing!!!
ReplyDeletePlease no. I liked her as Sara (after a while), but she just isn't a very good actress.
ReplyDeleteIt did a 0.58 last week. I only have access to the numbers at the end of the week though, so I won't have the decimals for this week until Monday.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way the Flash isn't surprising at all because its just as great as Arrow!! But Jane the virgin I wasn't sure if the show would make it! I love it cause it's so different and keeps you wondering on whats going to happen next! Gina is a great actress!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the shows are AWESOME in their own way, so I'm really happy about this! Here's hoping they keep the ratings up and get renewed for a second season.
ReplyDeletei watched the premiere of Jane the Virgin after seeing the full season and i am pleasantly surprised. i loved it <3 I honestly thought it would be a miracle baby, but the way is been done is very believable way and the way everyone's lives are intertwined into a beautiful messy bundle.
