It’s been an interesting freshman year for the new CW. The network hasn’t really grown its audience but that’s not surprising considering almost all of the season’s shows came from either WB or UPN. They’re dumping most of them this time around. Here’s a recap of won’t be back for the CW’s 2007-08 season:
All of Us The sitcom co-created by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith has been dropped after four seasons and 88 episodes. The finale aired on Monday night.
Gilmore Girls – Though the network wanted to bring the drama back for an eighth season, an agreement couldn’t be reached with the series’ two female leads. The last episode aired on Tuesday night.
Reba – The Reba McEntire sitcom was given a reprieve last year and returned for 13 episodes this season. Despite being one of the highest rated shows on the network, it was cancelled. The last episode aired on February 18, 2007.
Runaway – The drama about a family on the run starred Donnie Wahlberg and was pulled after just three episodes. Three other episodes were reportedly completed but went unaired.
7th Heaven – The series was rescued from cancellation last season after the “final episode” aired. The show’s 11th season disappointed many and the ratings fell. The final episode aired last Sunday.
Veronica Mars – After three seasons, the gal detective series is officially canceled. But CW’s Dawn Ostroff is talking with Mars creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell about possibly doing a new series for the network. It’s unclear if the new show would relate to Mars. The deadline for deciding on a Veronica Mars-related series would reportedly be June 15, 2007.
Returning series include: America’s Next Top Model, Beauty and the Geek, Everybody Hates Chris, The Game, Girlfriends, Smallville, Supernatural, and Friday Night Smackdown.
One Tree Hill and Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, will return mid-season (January or earlier). Hill will be reworked and set four years into the future, post-college. CW will post journal entries from the characters that will bring viewers up to date until the series returns. Stay tuned!
Rarely do I venture into network television to watch Programing. Statement of Fact, The Best Programing is on Cable. Three (3) reasons I’ve stayed committed to Network Televison, LETTERMAN, LENO. Most important, my Monday Night Line Up on the Defunct UPN Network, now CW Network. It used to be a Thursday Night Line Up of African American Sitcoms on UPN. Not so long ago, UPN was the only network where you could see Total African American Sitcoms (period). When Major Networks wasn’t Developing and/or Producing African American Sitcoms UPN did. It took Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to raise a… Read more »
WOW I can not believe they would cancel ALL OF US just like that?? All the shows I love are always cancelled I really rely on the CW network for all of the great positive African American sitcoms. Seems like lately there failing me.Very dissapointed fan
I Dont think they should have Cancelled All of Us When it was really getting good, now they could have at least cancelled Beauty and the Geek or Friday night smackdown
I’m really, truely upset that All of Us has been canceled. It was one of the few shows on tv my kids could watch.
The CW really screwed up now…of all show they had to cancel All Of Us, they were sending positive vibes to people! I just hope they don’t get rid of Girlfriends and The Game, but who knows they might do so anyways, The CW is starting to suck and now at 8:30 in stead of All of Us they put on Aliens in America or some crap like that im better of watching the animal planet
Why in the HELL is ALL OF US GET CANCELLED GRRRRRRH!!!
“I can’t believe they canceled All of Us,half&half,one on one,eve,and cuts u might as well get rid of all the black people in the world just drop us off on mars.” ?? Blacks go to Mars? werent we here first? chu.. and why cancel All Of Us? I know they were going to cancel it before when Tia left due to the payments, etc and Will Smith came and saved it, but damn. I didn’t see the last episode, but maybe its best it doesnt air again, or then it does. I would love to see All Of Us Again.… Read more »
I am upset to see the the dropped all of us and VM!!! why not the pointless show of everybody hates chris?!?!
those shows NEVER had a finaly…myself and other that I have chatted talked to on-line will not be watchin the cw this fall!
What was CW thinking literally??? How you goin to cancel All of Us when Robert and Niecy was just getting back together and making their baby!!! I hate cliffhangers!!! ITS JUST RIDICULOUS!!!
I don’t understand why in the world All of Us was cancelled. That was a great show.Will and Jada find another chanell to pick it up if you can. and if you do make guest apperances that will most definetally boost the ratings. All of the cast members are great on that show, i’m going to miss seeing all of them.
I cant believe that ALL of US was cancelled now there is offically nothing good on tv to watch
I can’t believe they canceled All of Us,half&half,one on one,eve,and cuts u might as well get rid of all the black people in the world just drop us off on mars.
I just have to say I’m upset about them canceling all of us just when they were about to have another baby, but I cant wait to see the next eposide of the game because darwin cheating ass is gonna get it!!! And Joan is finally getting married!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so mad that they canceled “All of US.” I wanted Nesse and Robert to get back together and have a little girl. Being a professional black woman its really hard to watch black comedy because a lot of it does not portray real life. All of US was a very good show, I don’t know why it was canceled; I wish they would do another season!! I will definately buy the DVD when it comes out. I loved Lisa Raye in this sitcom, she was so good…. Thanks Will Smith and Jada Smith.
All of Us was one of the best shows on the network. I knew when the networks combined it would go downhill. Well, they lost this viewer and a whole lot of others
