Are you frickin' kidding me?

Are you frickin' kidding me? Is the CW going totally bonkers these days or what? Did the mental powers of Dawn Ostroff scramble everybody's brain up there?

"90210" spin-off on fast track"!

Yes, you read it right. The CW is planning a spin-off of Beverly Hills 90210 for next season! Like really. Honestly. I'm not kidding!

So, let me get this straight. Next season, it'll be reality crap shows like America's Next Top Model and possibly Pussycat Dolls and Beauty and the Geek and 4! teeny soap operas: Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls and the 90210 spin-off. Oh, and Smallville. And Supernatural - but that only because they could find no excuse to cancel it when it performed much better than any of their new shows and 95% of reality stuff they have.

And since I'm already talking about their badly performing shows, take a look at Tuesday's ratings:
Beauty and the Geek (new) 1.88 mil., 0.9/2
One Tree Hill (new) 2.46 mil., 1.1/3

Oh yes, their reality shows and teeny soap operas are obviously so succesful that there deserves to be a lot more of them *rolls eyes*

I've never seen the original 90210, so I'm pretty ... not caring about a potential spin-off. :D

If Pussycat Dolls is back next season, I'll eat my foot. It's bombed too spectacularly this season to warrant a third season.

Beauty and the Geek should go too, but what they should really do is drop it back to one cycle a year, spring only. That's the only way that one worked. The CW seriously overexposed it this year.

And they have another reality show planned: Farmer Wants a Wife -_-;;

You haven't seen BH90210? O.O Girl, you have gaps in education! XD

Yeah, they'll probably air that in the summer? I'm sure it will bomb. Hopefully the CW will get the picture, and make the schedule drama-heavy again. They are suffering a pretty big loss on the reality side with SmackDown leaving (and rumor has it that it's not so much The CW dropping SmackDown as it is SmackDown not staying for whatever The CW was offering).

Eh, those types of shows aren't what I typically watch - I watch a lot of genre television. REALLY genre television. The only exception would be Everwood.
