However, I have no clue where to put Reign since it seems to be compatible only with Hart of Dixie or The Carrie Diaries, but there are no more free nights. Even if one of the newbies fail, I don't like the pairing it would create. So I am kind of at a loss here. The only other chance I see is:<br /><br /><b>Monday</b><br /><i>The Tomorrow People<br />The Hundred</i><br /><br /><b>Tuesday</b><br /><i>Reign</i><br />Hart of Dixie<br /><br /><b>Wednesday</b><br />Arrow<br />Supernatural<br /><br /><b>Thursday</b><br />The Vampire Diaries<br /><i>The Originals</i><br /><br /><b>Friday</b><br />Beauty and The Beast<br />Nikita/The Carrie Diaries<br /><br /><br />With Oxygen being the one that is held until midseason to replace the failing drama. I actually like my previous schedule more because:<br />1) Chances are that Reign is that failing drama and the Oxygen/HoD pairing, although not awful like Cult/HoD is much less inspiring than Beauty and the Beast/Oxygen<br />2) Hart of Dixie will probably be able to perform slightly better on Fridays than Beauty and the Beast<br />3) The Beauty and the Beast/Carrie Diaries pairing is not inspiring IMOSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-32352008071074600752013-05-09T19:53:23.104-04:002013-05-09T19:53:23.104-04:00TVLine is reporting that the carrie diaries will c...TVLine is reporting that the carrie diaries will come midseason. Its renewal is the biggest shocker of the season to me. I really think we all need to start looking into 18-34 numbers, there is something else going on that we cannot fully capture here.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-42950218946846004562013-05-09T19:34:11.926-04:002013-05-09T19:34:11.926-04:00Now, I think I would put Hart/Carrie together in t...Now, I think I would put Hart/Carrie together in the fall, move BatB over to Friday, and still just three of the five new shows in the fall.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-30527440109367299232013-05-09T13:13:46.486-04:002013-05-09T13:13:46.486-04:00Monday

Har...<b>Monday</b><br />8:00 – Hart of Dixie<br />9:00 – New Drama<br /><br /><br />Hart of Dixie is a relatively stable show, and I think a new drama at least has a chance to do well at 9:00.<br /><br /><br /><b>Tuesday</b><br />8:00 – Beauty and the Beast<br />9:00 – New Drama<br /><br /><br />I don't agree with the notion that Beauty and the Beast should go to Friday. Sure it's <i>probably</i> lead-in dependent, but we've never seen it air alone, so there's at least a chance it could do well anchoring a new night.<br /><br /><br /><b>Wednesday</b><br />8:00 – Arrow<br />9:00 – Supernatural<br /><br /><br />This combo should definitely not be split up in my opinion. It is by far The CW's best night, so until one of the shows starts to fade, don't touch it.<br /><br /><br /><b>Thursday</b><br />8:00 – The Vampire Diaries<br />9:00 – The Originals<br /><br /><br />Maybe The Originals will eventually gain an independent audience and be able to anchor a new night, but for now I think it needs to be in a protective slot and have time to grow.<br /><br /><br /><b>Friday</b><br />8:00 – Nikita<br />9:00 – America's Next Top Model<br /><br /><br />Personally, I think The CW should give Friday back to its affiliates in the near future, but for next season, they should just put a low rated duo there.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-23958628839248833902013-05-09T13:05:04.376-04:002013-05-09T13:05:04.376-04:00Based on the idea that oxygen will be picked up an...Based on the idea that oxygen will be picked up and not the selection or reign:<br /><br /><b>Monday</b><br />[i]The Tomorrow People<br />The Hundred[/i]<br /><br /><b>Tuesday</b><br /><i>Oxygen</i><br />Beauty and the Beast<br /><br /><b>Wednesday</b><br />Arrow<br />Supernatural<br /><br /><b>Thursday</b><br />The Vampire Diaries<br /><i>The Originals</i><br /><br /><b>Friday</b><br />Hart of Dixie<br />NikitaSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-58815064759730761062013-05-09T12:52:38.631-04:002013-05-09T12:52:38.631-04:00I am going quickly over the smaller questions:
- ...I am going quickly over the smaller questions:<br /><br />- Friday: I don't think so to be honest, I think something scripted, besides Nikita, will go there.<br />- Tuesday: Weekday yes, anchoring pad no, it should be a lead-out.<br /><br />- Monday: I agree that it is better to leave Tuesdays with Hart of Dixie and simply use Monday as genre 3.0, I don't see an obvious upside in doing it one way or the other, and this may minimize HoD's declines. I don't think it matters that much though but I have a preference for it to be this way.<br /><br />On the other issue, the main one: I still disagree. Do you know the halo effect that you've talked about sometimes concerning how lead-outs influence lead-ins? The same way the middle falls when there is no new MF on the night, the same way bones went up during the strongest run of the following, and so and so forth? Well, it is my belief (although I have no way to prove it) that Arrow has somehow part of that effect with Supernatural. I would have liked for the cw to have aired it once without supernatural to see the result. I love the show personally but I am not as convinced of its strength as you are - it is still probably slightly stronger than supernatural, but i think that there are multiple synergies between both on the night. Take away one and you may or may not be able to replicate this effect. Let Wednesday be. Hit shows can launch out of themselves! It has been done before, it can be done again. Successful new shows have been launched one after the other. Have the strongest of the two leading out, but it can work. Promotional wise, it is actually easier as it can be promoted as a block whereas there is no promotional needed for Weds! I don't think I will be able to make up your mind, since you seem to be pretty set on the idea, and you will have it your way in the end most likely since I think they won't resist pairing up the tomorrow people with arrow and the hundred with supernatural, but I really would just pair the tomorrow people and the hundred together...We will have to agree to disagree.<br /><br />As for the remaining day, the interesting thing is that if Oxygen is picked up, it seems like a perfect fit to beauty and the beast. On the other hand, if the selection is picked up (or Reign...grr) it seems like a powerful fit with hart of dixie. So it appears to me that which one out of beauty or hart ends up on fridays with nikita is a function not of them but of which 4th show is picked up, which is a very interesting situation.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-9528390292682367042013-05-09T12:50:00.245-04:002013-05-09T12:50:00.245-04:00I'm not even going to bother making my own sch...I'm not even going to bother making my own schedule, because yours is basically what I had in mind.

But The Originals isn't an unknown show; it will have the highest awareness of any new CW show next season. I wouldn't squander it when that potential could be used for another new, unknown AND unproven show.<br /><br />If Nikita is only getting a partial season, then I'd use one of the new miniseries-esque shows like Reign to sub in for it at midseason. Along those lines, I'd pull Top Model into midseason if Blink bombs.<br /><br />I'd also be ok if Mondays and Tuesdays are flipped here, but to make a smoother flow of shows throughout the week I put the "sunnier" soap shows on Mondays.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
