CW Annouces Upfront 2009-2010 Shows and Schedule

Melrose and 90210 - is this 1993?

The CW Network unveiled the schedule for its 2009-2010 season today at a presentation for advertisers, affiliates and national media in the Theater at Madison Square Garden. The announcement was made by Dawn Ostroff, President of Entertainment, The CW.

“In just three years, The CW has become TV to talk about, with culturally current, quality programming,” said Ostroff. “Next fall, we will have great flow from Monday through Friday, starting with the Monday pairing of ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘One Tree Hill,’ which made The CW one of the top destinations for young women this season. Tuesday night gives us a perfect match with ‘90210’ and ‘Melrose Place.’ And what could be better than our Wednesday night shows from Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutcher – the all-model lineup of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and ‘The Beautiful Life.’

It’s the season finale of Old Christine! And it’s going up against the finale of American Idol, so hardly anyone’s going to watch. But CBS has already renewed the show, so just relax and watch the total lack of relaxation in tonight’s wedding.

Red John is at it again, ladies and gentlemen. He is back screwing with Jane’s head and it is awesome in a really horrible, awful, and wonderful way. This time, he uses poor Emma Plaskett as a victim. When CBI arrives at the scene, they see Emma’s toenails painted red with her own blood, just like Red John had done to Jane’s wife. Just when they are trying to convince Jane otherwise, a plane flies overhead and skywrites Red John’s signature smiley face. Even though Jane has every right to say “I told you so,” he doesn’t.
