CW Upfront

Smash the WB and UPN and you get the CW. Traditionally CW means conventional wisdom. No clue what it means here. Anyway here are their upfront which is basically the cream of the two networks crop (anemic as it may be).

Cancelled:
All of Us, Bedford Diaries, Blue Collar TV, Cuts, Eve, Everwood (eh i was getting bored with it anyway), Get This Party Started (?), Half & Half, Living with Fran, Love Inc, Modern Men, One on One, Pepper Dennis, Reba, Related, South Beach, Survival of the Riches, and Twins. Thats a lot of trash going into the can.

Renewed:
7th Heaven (wth?), All of Us, America's Next Top Model, Beauty and the Geek, Everybody Hates Chris, Gilmore Girls (new leader, means new direction, means Commander-in-Fiasco repeat), Girlfriends, One Tree Hill, Smallville, Supernatural, Veronica Mars (sweet but if needs ratings for full season order), WWE Smackdown (ug).

New (3 new, so the budget must be razor thin):
Runaway - Drama about a family of fugitives to prove the dad is innocent. Stars a set of "who?". Probably a failure but if they can walk the line between family drama and action, might stand a chance.

Palm Springs - Mid Season drama. Troubled teen finds secrets in his new community. Basically Desperate Housewives from a kids perspective. Has Sharon Lawrence in it and she is always a scenery chewer and proves that women can not only age gracefully but can look better then younger counterparts doing it.

The Game - Comedy about the relationships between women and their pro football playing men. Eh, smells bad, but a lot of room for solid execution.
