What do you think? Which of these shows do you think you’ll be watching next season? Do you think any of them should have been cancelled instead?
it took me 2 seasons of originals to buy the first 2 seasons. but each season is like one great long movie. supernatural i can see 12 to 15 seasons easy.? 2 great shows. the originals & supernatural. this 2 shows will never get old., great writing & actors go klaus. davina must know the full power of the hybrid.
The 100, reigns, originals, heart of Dixie, I zombie, vampire diaries. Love these. Watch faithfully.
All those “faithful watchers” and yet when you look at the ratings…
So glad Reign,Jane were renewed especially but I also love Vampire Diaries& Originals is ok too.Dont like the others besides Beauty & the Beast,Americas Next Top Model
Let me start by saying whats up *******! Its a line from SUPERNATURAL! If you watch the show you get it. LoL! I been watching Supernatural from day 1 and love this show. Also like watching I Zombie! Keep it coming CW!!!!!
What I love about comments like this one is you get the sense there’s a huge audience of CW fans, when in reality, if CW disappeared tomorrow few wold even notice.
Love love love the show Reign. So happy to hear it is not cancelled. horray
ABSOLUTELY,,, SUPERNATURAL yeeeahhh!!!!
Love the 100 can’t wait to see season 3 please don’t cancel
I watch Reign every week. I love the show, though I don’t care much about royalty. Love the story lines, the costumes, the good looking people. Although I live in Canada I do not get CW, it plays on the MTV station, here. I know ratings important, but I believe , you should listen to the people who take the time to watch you shows, by the way I don’t watch the other shows mentioned in the above list. I did see Arrow once in Florida while on vacation, but I really don’t care for superheroes. In Canada here, the… Read more »
My son suggested for me to watch The 100, OMG, I LOVE this show!!!! I can not wait for season 3 to start as well as future seasons!!! THANK YOU CW!!,
A post so real it sent shivers up my spine…
Seriously…
Shivers!!!…
Because it’s so real…
what are you a poet.
I just have enthusiasm for great fiction. 😉
Have you heard if there will be a season 3
i started watching Supernatural 2 yrs ago then I watched all the seasons on Netflix big fan of The Winchester brothers but recently I’ve also started watching The Arrow “Oliver Mc Queen I’m glad their Keepin up with thaws shows and eventually I will start watching Tje Flash too long as they don’t cancel the show CW rocks!
I love jane the virgin, I have my first baby when I was only 14 live with my mom and as you can see for my name I’m Hispanic… Omg I can’t wait next season, can somebody tell me when they gonna show it?
Seriously..? You want me to believe someone who’s not a street-teamer wrote this?!!!!
Come on… You can do better!!!
I recently started watching Supernatural on Netflix and I have been captivated ever since. I purchased season 10 on APPLE and can’t wait until season 11 comes out. I am a 53 year old female, and surprised how much I love this show! My kids got me interested in watching it. Amazing! I enjoy the “The Walking Dead” & and “Supernatural” not what I expected to watch and enjoy!!!!! Just wanted to give you some feedback. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
why were there only a few episodes of the 100. i waited every week for it’s return,
There were actually several, an entire season. But, The w100 is on Netflix now too. So you can get caught up. 🙂
I have fallen in love with The 100! The first season was nothing compared to the epicness that is season 2! I can’t wait for the third 😀
Yes, I love The 100 too! I really hate that all of my shows on The CW end within two weeks of each other and now have to wait till fall for em all! Although iZombie isn’t bad, I’m liking it! The Messengers is a little slow for me. But, it’s something till they all come back!
It’s endlessly entertaining how CW is trying hard on this site to create the impression it has a huge dedicated cadre of viewers…
If only…
I’d really appreciate if you’d not negatively comment on my comments. I’m trying to enjoy the fans and shows with PLAIN ORIGINALS NOTTT IN CAHOOTS “for the network” and you’re ruining it! Nobody is wanting to hear your stupid suspicion, not known, ONLY your own paranoia, negative thoughts! Thanks!
Sorry, but this isn’t a fan board, so I won’t give you a heckler’s veto…
CW is a complete failure and it’s pretty clear this isn’t a board people by actual fans but by mostly PR employees who post another post or two each week.
Sorry for “ruining” it… 😉
Apparently it’s not a failure if so many fans love these shows. I have a question for you tho, if you hate it so much why are you on here commenting on it ??
The point is that the ratings show that there aren’t “so many” people watching those shows, quite to the contrary, they are all flops.
As to why I’m here, this showed up on my newsfeed and having never seen such reckless disregard for simple sanity in Mark Pedowitz’s decision to renew 8 flops all at once, I thought it bore to be said,.
This isn’t a fan site. 🙂
I am a huge fan of most of CW’s shows! Very Happy that Supernatural, TVD, The Originals, Arrow, The Flash & The 100 are all coming back. Not a fan of Reign other Jane the Virgin. But, I am a huge fan of the CW! They are my favorite station! It’s hard to see any series go but at least they do keep the majority! So happy!
I’m sorry, but given CW’s dreadful ratings, how am I supposed not to think posts like these come from their PR department..? 😉
Reading the comments here, you’d think there’s a wellspring of support for the wholesale renewal of all those flops…
Lol… Not PR there hun. I don’t pay any mind to their ratings. I pay attention to what shows I, MYSELF like. I don’t base what I like on what Other People like OR say.
Just saying that people like shows, not networks and that CW’s shows are doing so poorly it’s highly unlikely they have any actual “fans”…
They do have a very active PR department however (if only they’d give them something to work with…)
Well, I’m very happy with them and I think they have great shows to work with! And to be quite honest, you’re actually the only person I’ve ever heard of not liking The CW’s shows. But, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I don’t judge, nor should you. Have a good one.

JTV and Regin are beautiful shows I love them if you don’t like them don’t watch them it’s a huge disappointed and not there cup of tea then the raitings will get even more worse and this will get mark upset and the fans too
I don’t watch them nor was I saying anything negative about them. Just said I wasn’t a huge fan, so I’m a little confused about your comment, Erin. Also, don’t understand the last part of your comment either? Anyways, my whole point of this comment was I love The CW and their shows. That’s the most important point.
