There was Karma involved (Dawn getting canned, these other series flopping or receiving really bad endings), no doubt about it. But it will always hurt thinking about what they did to Everwood. Everwood had better ratings than the vast majority of shows taken too. Proof it wasn't about ratings or quality. It was about a brand, a flavor, nothing else.

The WB never even cared about Everwood. Remember how it changed nights like it didn't even matter? Ratings still held though. Whenever the network pulled something, Everwood always bit back, strong and determined. The WB never promoted Everwood either, but it went nuts with promotion for shows like Dawson's Creek and OTH.
That's so true.

Last night, I watched a few Everwood clips, like Ephram confronting his father thinking that he had cheated on Julia when in fact Julia had cheated on him, and when Andy told Ephram why he moved them to Everwood, and the acting on this show was so absolutely incredible, and the storylines were so moving and that idiot head of The CW threw it all away for trash shows.
