The CW Upfronts

With more shows than spots on the schedule, the CW has finally decided to expand to a 6th night of programming for the first time in 9 years.  Monday gets a brand new look, with Legends of Tomorrow followed by Arrow.  Tuesday remains the same, with the Flash and Black Lightning offering up the second straight night of a double dose of the DC universe.  All American, about a high school football player who moves from Compton to Beverly Hills, follows Riverdale on Wednesdays.

Supernatural returns to Thursday for its 40th season, and will be followed by Legacies, about the next generation of supernatural beings at The Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted.  Friday has Dynasty and the final season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.  The Sunday night offerings are Supergirl and a new version of Charmed, without any of the Halliwell sisters.

The final seasons of Jane The Virgin and iZombie, along with The 100, are on the bench for mid-season.  New shows on tap are In The Dark, about a blind woman trying to get by in the world, and Roswell, New Mexico, a reboot of the former WB and UPN series.

Lost to the sands of time are Hooten & The Lady, Life Sentence, The Originals, Reign, and Valor.

The CW Upfronts

legends-of-tomorrow-faceboo_1We finish up our look at the upfronts with the CW, which has slowly moved themselves away from the home of the teenage drama to super hero central.  Come next spring, 4 out of the network’s 10 weekly hours will be devoted to shows based on DC comic books.

Monday adds Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the only new show on the fall schedule, to join Jane The Virgin in a comedy block.  Tuesdays and Wednesday remain unchanged, with The Flash leading in to iZombie, followed by Arrow and yet another season of Supernatural.  Thursdays have been turned over to vampires, and Friday remains a dumping ground.

Midseason will bring DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, the spin-off of The Flash and Arrow, featuring a super team made up of powered folks that had previously appeared on the other 2 shows.
