I must admit, when a television remake of the 2000 Dennis Quaid film was announced, I wasn’t expecting much. But Frequency actually turned out to be a decent effort, thanks to the efforts of Peyton List and Mekhi Phifer. What it wasn’t is a good fit for the CW, since it wasn’t about superheroes or teenagers trying to find reasons not to have sex with each other. In a surprising move, the network released a 3 minute epilogue on their website to wrap up the loose ends from the series.

2016 New Fall Season – Wednesdays
We have reached the half way point of our look at the offerings for the new fall season. Here’s what Wednesdays have on tap for the fall.
7:00
Arrow – Season 5 finds Oliver Queen trying to save the city, both as the Arrow and as mayor. This also promises to be the last season of flashbacks, making me look forward to season 6.
Lethal Weapon – FOX reboots the movie series with Damon Wayans. Might be worth a look, at least.
8:00
Modern Family – The comedy, entering its eighth season, is really starting to show its age. It’s still fun, but the plots are starting to get a little out there.
Criminal Minds – The show returns for its twelfth season minus original stars Shemar Moore, who left last spring, and Thomas Gibson, who was fired for attacking a writer in the early going of this season. To fill the void, Aisha Tyler has been bumped up to a regular cast member and Paget Brewster returns as Emily Prentiss.
Frequency – The CW reboots the movie, replacing Dennis Quaid with the fetching Peyton List.
8:30
Black-ish – After a strong second season, the show returns looking to improve yet again.

The CW Upfronts
The CW has gone all-in on the comic book adaptation front, with 6 series planned for next season based on properties that originated in the comics world. They get things started on Monday, where Supergirl lands the same timeslot it enjoyed last year on CBS, followed by returning hit Jane The Virgin. The Flash remains on Tuesday, leading in to No Tomorrow, a romantic comedy with an apocalyptic twist.
Arrow stays in its usual Wednesday slot, followed by Frequency, an adaptation of the old Dennis Quaid film starring Peyton List. Legends of Tomorrow remains on Thursdays, followed by the 235th season of Supernatural, where the Winchester brothers investigate the deal with the devil struck to keep this show on the air. Returning shows Vampire Diaries and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend move to the dead zone that is Friday nights.
iZombie moves to mid-season, along with Riverdale, an adaptation of the Archie comics.
