The WB and UPN networks are ending this fall, but several of their shows will live on. Execs at The CW hope that when the shows move to the new network, their fans will follow.
Coming in fall 2006
Comedy: The Game
Drama: Runaway
Coming in January 2007:
Drama: Hidden Palms
Returning (so to speak): All of Us, America’s Next Top Model, Beauty and the Geek, Everybody Hates Chris, Friday Night Smackdown!, Gilmore Girls, Girlfriends, One Tree Hill, 7th Heaven, Smallville, Supernatural, Veronica Mars
My predictions
First new show to be cancelled: Runaway.. The concept’s interesting, but people looking for dark, conspiracy-thriller material probably won’t be attracted by its lead-in (the newly-revived 7th Heaven).
First new show to become a cult favorite: Runaway, if it survives its scheduling.
New show I’m most looking forward to: The Game, purely for the football content, though if the show focuses on catfights it’ll lose me very quickly.
