And, the WSJ also is chanting the same thing -- link

Quote:

Two years after CBS Corp. and Time Warner Inc. combined their second-tier networks UPN and WB into the youth-oriented CW to pool young viewers prized by advertisers, the network's hopes of surviving are looking increasingly bleak.

My personal opinion?? Like it isn't already well-known -- Couldn't happen to a nicer network. Should we send a shout-out to the WSJ reporter telliing her/him/them that they are right on the money on their assessments??

Didn't realize you posted that over here Deborah. I posted on the spoiler thread, don't ask me why, oh I know why I had so info on who they hired for the 90210 gig. (Not Scott), but Rob Estes.

Nothing wrong with different perspectives on different threads with the same result, right?

I really am liking Rob Estes as an actor more and more. I've been seeing him in spots here and there on cable. He's a looker!! I would love to have seen Scott in that role if it weren't for the CW connection. That's where it's going, right? The CW??? That's and automatic "o-u-t" for me. I just want my weekly Scott fix. I hope he wishes to stay on television/cable as well.

Well put

So do networks/studios pay to have someone go on talk shows then? Maybe this is the reason they didn't do it for Aliens?

Yes Deborah 90210 is going on the CW

lancer1993 · 05-16-2008, 11:08 PM

I'm not sure about 90210 "the new class" yet, will it get any support from the network?

I wonder what Scott and the other former Aliens and Gilmore stars think of their network now?

I hope when Scott get a new show it's properly backed regardless if it's on the big 3 or a cable outfit like HBO or Showtime.

2 more days guys

Let's have a farewell/bon voyage party!

lancer1993 · 05-17-2008, 01:25 PM

As it hasn't aired here (and probably never will now) I might have a private pity party

Well I plan to watch ASAP but even them it will be the middle of the night US time.

the network that has the rights to Aliens hasn't said one word about when (or if) they will air it, this is the same network which is airing S6 of GG even thought the final season DVD has been out for the last month. So I don't hold hope it will even air locally at a half decent time.

lulu1960 · 05-18-2008, 08:33 AM

That sucks Craig.

It hasn't hit me yet that this is the last episode of Aliens. Then who knows what's next for Scott.
*Sad*

I'm confused.
''Reaper'' gets a second season at CW | Reaper | Television News | News + Notes | Entertainment Weekly

Quote:

The CW dramedy Reaper, which stars Bret Harrison as retail slacker/bounty hunter for hell Sam Oliver, has been renewed for a second season. It will join fellow sophomores Aliens in America and Gossip Girl on the net's slate for next year, returning for a 13-episode midseason run, likely paired with Supernatural on Thursday nights after Smallville wraps its run. Renewal was anything but a sure thing prior to the re-up announcement on Monday (May 12), just a day before the network's upfront

I think it's probably just a mistake.

lancer1993 · 05-19-2008, 02:04 AM

Maybe they changed their minds

OT - Damn *cough* is late and I won't be able to watch the final until the morning now

ETA - just started the *cough* as it didn't come up last night by bed time, great now I have this and the Moonlight final to watch on the one day

razzlephrat · 05-20-2008, 01:20 PM

I'm sorry, Craig!

Hopefully it will be on DVD.

So, I seriously think (as in this is a serious and legit statement) we should organize a letter writing campaign to the CW. They treat their fans worse than the WB and I know that writing a letter to them probably won't do much but hey, it's worth a shot. Maybe we'll get some final word on whether or not there will be a DVD release or not. I know that dvds are relatively cheap to make but I don't know that a company would market or create something like that for such a small fanbase (which sadly is true for AiA.)
