What do you think? Which new or returning CW shows are you most excited to see in early 2024?
I haven’t watched the cw in age’s isn’t it under new management? They haven’t brought back Corner or Devil’s & they’ve been available in Canada and cw gets quite a bit of shows from there and family law was canceled so I didn’t even check with the new season!
