The CW is NOT What You Remember

The CW has changed a LOT in the past few years, say goodbye to the Arrowverse and say hello to sports. In this video, I go over how shows like Superman & Lois are on the way out and Wild Cards is in. What does that mean? I go over it all here.

I ask for non-American/Canadian/UK live-action TV recommendations at the end of this one. Do you have one for me?? The first 500 people to use my link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/captainmidnight06241

The fact that I had no idea about this shows how disconnected I've become from network TV.
-
The Buffy/Angel/Supernatural Era was peak.
-
I miss when it was The WB
-
It should not go unsaid that another huge shift from the WB to the CW was in its target demographics, specifically a black audience. Who here fondly remembers shows like The Wayans Bros, Sister Sister, The Jamie Foxx Show, etc.?
-
Man I grew up on cw from watching vampire diaries nikita, supernatural all the superheroes shows and even cartoon block on Saturday vortex. Cw was my childhood
-
Just finished the series finale of Walker. Once Superman & Lois concludes its final season, there's nothing left on The CW for me. End of a decade-plus era...
-
The only thing I remembered from CW back in the day was the Flash
-
Back in the day, early 2000s, Kids WB! was my favorite daily after school animated programming block. So many great shows. Mucha Lucha, Xiaolin Showdown, Static Shock, Freakazoid, and so many more.
-
Smallville, Reaper, Supernatural, and Legend of The Seeker were my go tos back in the day.How they decided to fumble Superman & Lois is insane but I guess they don't enjoy making money lol
-
I feel like what I'd love from network shows that streaming isn't offering that much of our sitcoms. There are a few streaming sitcoms here and there, but they are very far and few between, and also quite short seasons. Sitcoms are cheap and they are the kind of comfort food I feel network television is associated with. While streaming has had great shows, I miss the days of a 20 episode season of HIMYM.
-
Thank you for your channel, it's really a comfort channel to me!
-
I'm also on the younger side of people that have a love for network TV (in my 30's) so I can relate to what you said. Honestly makes me sad to see the direction that TV has been going in the last few years. I used to always look forward to the upfronts every year for the fall schedule. I watched so so many CW shows. Not all of them great, but they were fun! There was a comfort to knowing that they would be back every fall.
-
“It’s basically White Collar” Ok, might give this a try given White Collar is probably the best “odd couple” light procedural show ever made.
-
Kids WB used to have the best kids animation, The New Adventures of Batman, Superman: The Animated Series, Static Shock, Batman Beyond, The Batman, X-Men: Evolution, Freakazoid, Men in Black, Jackie Chan Adventures, Pokemon, Yugioh, etc.
-
im tired of 8 episode seasons. give me back 20-24 episode seasons
-
There's a big reason as to why "CW Writing" became a term that was used for mockery.
-
I LOVE the USA shows. Monk (the movie was great too!), Royal Pains, The 4400 (the original!), Psych, Burn Notice, White Collar (which is coming back!), Suits (which might come back eventually!), Graceland, Mr. Robot, Pearson (cancelled too soon!), Briarpatch, Chucky, and soon, Resident Alien!
-
THERE WAS A 4400 REBOOT?! Sucks to find that out simultaneously with its cancellation.
-
I am still pissed off and angry that my favorite show Superman and Lois is ending for garbage but that’s is just my opinion.
