What The CW DIDN'T Tell You Yesterday...

Amid all the hoopla at The CW's upfront presentation yesterday were behind-the-scenes cries of outrage by legions of Everwood die-hard fans. You see, Everwood was not renewed for Fall by The CW.

However, the secret behind the Everwood cancellation is that up until about a week ago, Everwood WAS part of The CW's Fall schedule. BUT - the last-minute renewal of the very-popular 7th Heaven meant that something on the schedule had to go in order to make room for the show. The unlucky show which drew the short straw? Everwood.

Had 7th Heaven NOT been renewed, The CW's Sunday and Monday schedules would have looked like this:

SUNDAY
7:00 America's Next Top Model encores
8:00 Everwood
9:00 Runaway

MONDAY
8:00 Everybody Hates Chris
8:30 All of Us
9:00 Girlfriends
9:30 The Game

And just in case any of you doubt the word of TV Boy, here's a screen-capture of a page that had been built for The CW's brand-new website... a website which just went live this week in order to promote the new network's Fall schedule.

Go ahead and visit the new site... and guess which page ISN'T part of the site? Sorry, Everwood-ians... you came thiiiiiiiis close.
