ReplyDeleteHoping The Messengers are included into this big summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, i'll update the post :)
ReplyDeletePR zedi mind trick!Don't fall for it guys!
ReplyDeleteLMFAO! Your mean!
ReplyDeleteI call BS.
ReplyDeleteThis could mean new scripted shows with lots of buzz plus returning shows may air during summer 2016. Here are the possibilities such a thing would happen:
ReplyDeleteReign and Jane The Virgin - keeping them alive where their ratings won't bother.
The 100 - already aired part of season 1 in summer and got 0.6-0.5s, so if The CW wants a reliable summer performance, they are going to move it there.
HoD - just to get the show to 88 or beyond.
But that is a big IF. We can't know for sure
I try!LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm sure 2016 will be eventful for them since its when their going out of business because their contracts are up
ReplyDeleteI'd be down for that.
ReplyDeletemaybe but there already a SS movie......
ReplyDeleteId rather they skip all of those reality shows, as it does not seem to fit this network at all, beyond me simply hating reality tv.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's just going to be a dumping ground for their lowest rated shows.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I'd rather non-stop scripted shows, reality be gone ;)
ReplyDeleteBut but
ReplyDeleteBarber Battle is the most fascinating reality show on TV
..I mean it has Barbers...and Battles...
...and hair cutting...
Not going to happen given the very same year the Suicide Squad movie being released and DC being very...well...dumb with their TV/movie properties
ReplyDeleteI can see ANTM on Summer one season per year. It can work plus it's their odldest reality show it can do well.
ReplyDeleterather that than summer being turned into another reality-gallore wonderland (aka. hell)
ReplyDeleteReality rarely worked out for theCW, ANTM is the only really succesfull reality show they have on their schedule.
ReplyDeletePointe Break, Capture...all these failed to deliver ratings wise so they REALLY shouldn't go down that route again.
Also reality television hurts
I agree ,other than ANTM & WL ,reality/unscripted hasn't worked on summer for Czw but scripted hasn't worked eother(Seed,Backpackers,18 to Lfe,BatB didn't do well in ratings either though at least it stayed stable )
ReplyDeleteIt's probably what will happen IMO.
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast, Hart of Dixie, and iZombie/The Messengers here we come.
ReplyDeleteIt'll run from April through much of summer
ReplyDeleteMaybe now that Steven is leaving The Vampire Diaries he can live out his Nightwing 'fantasy' finally.
ReplyDeletea) on "Gotham" as the rumored father of Dick Grayson aka Robin set to appear with his wife this season as circus acrobats.
or
b) maybe the new spin-off show coming to the CW will actually be "Nightwing" staring Steven !
The scripted shows fared better by comparison though (not significantly but visibly).
ReplyDeleteBut while usually scripted shows are cheaper to produce theCWs reality programming always was more cost consuming: Capture actually had them install a completely new camera system over a whole areal. Meanwhile ANTM usually is cost consuming due to celeb cameos and stunt photoshooting as well as travel.
Personally I'd prefer a purely scripted summer line.up
If it airs without breaks it'll air early july. I assume CW is testing the show for summer. So it maybe even changes time timeslots when finale season is over and airs with iZombie or Batb.
ReplyDeleteOverall I meant that CW is preping the show to be a lead in Summer 2016. ^_^
Mostvlikley is cancelled along with HoD,BatB though this season
ReplyDeletethere won't be a nightwing spinoff since there will be teen titan show on TNT with Dick Grayson as Nightwing
ReplyDeletegreat news, hope it works out for them and hope it means fewer cancellations in the future
ReplyDeletesounds like thats the plan, move lower rated shows to the summer and get them as many episodes as possible in the hopes of getting as many shows as they can to syndication. All year round programming off course helps promote the regular season too so it isnt a bad thing.
ReplyDeleteCw Will renew all shows this year
ReplyDeletewtf does that mean?
ReplyDeleteYes. I would actually watch TV then.
ReplyDeleteI don't see them moving JtV to summers anytime soon as it's enjoying so much positive critical attention. I think they'll leave it in the week and hopefully not move it around so that new people will find it. Especially since they are discussing special streaming deals for it.
ReplyDeleteMeh I'd argue that DC's idea regarding TV/film is quite smart and honestly it's possible (two flashes concurrently and both Barry Allen).
ReplyDeletealright.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, it would not take much to be a bigger summer for the CW. Their summer viewing doesn't get much buzz. However, I think this is a big plus and likely the reason why so many CW fans are happy tonight. Keep keeping on, Pedowitz. You'll save this network one decision at a time.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I think that's why he brought on Reign and Jane the Virgin as well. He knows the problem with not diversifying but he also has to play the trend that is working for him. Dawn's problem was that she was tunnel visioned on a teen audience and couldn't see when it turned around and bit her.
ReplyDeleteSo I wonder if Beauty and the Beast will be back for summer seasons.
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast and Hart of Dixie pleeeaaaaassssssseeeeeeeeee
ReplyDeleteI'm all for it if it means we get to see more capture
ReplyDeletewow can't wait to see which.
ReplyDeleteThe CW panel was live blogged here: http://www.hitfix.com/the-fien-print/the-cws-mark-pedowitz-on-the-state-of-the-network-press-tour-live-blog
ReplyDelete"Will any of the eight pick-ups be for limited runs? They haven't decided how many episodes they're going to order and some of the eight will come back at midseason or even next summer. "The Summer of 2016 should be a much bigger summer for us than ever before," he says."
Capture was cancelled
ReplyDeleteBrandon hero coming in 2016 jack Brandon
