My wife (and in a secret way, me) will be pumped to know that the CW has renewed Gossip Girl for a second season. The drama has a pretty dedicated following now with a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 age group. Not blockbuster ratings by a long shot, but with their passionate fanbase behind it, the CW seems pretty confident about it’s future.
Another show I sort of liked was Reaper, a goofy comedy about a kid who’s parents sold his soul to the devil, and now he’s a sort of Ghostbuster for escaped spirits from Hell. Ray Wise plays the devil and he’s pretty hilarious. But so far, it hasn’t been renewed for a second year and the CW might be waiting to see how the remaining 5 new episodes go over once the show returns on April 22nd.
They also didn’t bring back Aliens in America and the wrestling show, WWE SmackDown.
The did renew a couple of other longtime shows though, including Smallville, Everybody Hates Chris, America’s Next Top Model, One Tree Hill and Supernatural.
Smallville!!!! Though will be interesting since they did not renew Michael Rosenbaums contract..(yet).
Well at least we will have Lana still, right? That’s a relief!!
Smallville new episodes returns March 13th… Pete looks to be in it (looks like he is being tortured, maybe from Lex trying to get to Clark’s secret). You can see the preview here…(it auto plays in main window)

I got a special blog just for you coming up Capn…
And when you mean Pete…you mean his old buddy Pete? THat’s insane!
Its his ole buddy Pete.. check the trailer… Chloe mentions its Clarks worst fear, so i’m guessing Lex tries to get to Clark thru Pete, where he tortures him for info.. and of course Clark doesnt want any info about himself to hurt or endanger others…
Reaper has more than 5 episodes remaining–starting next week or the week after, there will be 3 weeks of new episodes, so there are 8 total. And they actually are pretty good eps too. Smackdown definitely won’t be back–the WWE cancelled their contract with The CW. And good riddance I say.
But if I was a betting man, I’d be pretty confident that both Reaper and Aliens in America will be back. Only Girlfriends and Life Is Wild are the CW shows that are definite goners.
Good to know…I thought I read 5 more episodes, but they must have gotten it wrong.
I do like Reaper, it’s been funny so far.
CW’s Reaper must come back.
Gossip Girl? Really? How unfortunate!
Reaper is a great show. Very few out there now!
