Fall 2007 - The CW

Less than a year into its young existence, The CW is already looking a lot less like either of its parents, The WB and UPN. A year ago at this time at its first upfront, The CW had announced a Fall lineup that was made up almost entirely of programming from the then soon-to-be-defunct UPN and The WB.

Fast-forward a year, and The CW is shedding much of its inherited programming, including the long-running Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven, and Veronica Mars (sorry, Veronica fans - despite a valiant 11th-hour effort, Mars is history).

Here's what to expect from The CW this Fall:


MONDAY

8:00 Everybody Hates Chris
8:30 Aliens in America
9:00 Girlfriends
9:30 The Game


TUESDAY

8:00 Beauty and the Geek
9:00 Reaper


WEDNESDAY

8:00 America's Next Top Model
9:00 Gossip Girl


THURSDAY

8:00 Smallville
9:00 Supernatural


FRIDAY

8:00 WWE Smackdown


SUNDAY

7:00 CW Now
7:30 Online Nation
8:00 Life is Wild
9:00 America's Next Top Model repeats


Here's a rundown of the newest CW shows...

Aliens in America

The lone new sitcom on The CW's schedule, Aliens tells the story of a Wisconsin family and the Pakistani exchange student that enters their world.


Reaper

It's gotta be a bad day when you find out that, before you were born, your parents had sold your soul to the devil, and now you must act as Satan's bounty hunter.


Gossip Girl

From the producer of The O.C., Gossip Girl focuses on the lives of students in a posh Manhattan prep school.


CW Now

Youth-focused entertainment newsmagazine from the producers of Extra.


Online Nation

The CW is hoping to capitalize on the popularity of Youtube with this series, in which "best of the web" videos will be featured.


Life is Wild

In what sounds like blatant attempt by The CW to retain its 7th Heaven audience, Life is Wild follows the adventures of a dysfunctional New York family that moves to a small town in South Africa.


One Tree Hill and Pussycat Dolls Present will both return at midseason.

Along with the departing shows mentioned earlier in this post, say goodbye to All of Me.
