the CW

I know Matthew doesn't consider this a real network. But I still do. And they've cancelled all the shows I liked except for ANTM. I am going to have to completely retool my television watching for next year because 7 hours of programming I liked are not returning. Damn. That's probably 1/10 of the amount of tv I watch a week. Scary.
Monday: Everybody Hates Chris, Aliens in America, Girlfriends, The Game
Tuesday: Beauty and the Geek, Reaper
Wednesday: America's Next Top Model, Gossip Girl
Thursday: Smallville, Supernatural
Friday: Friday Night Smackdown!
Sunday: CW Now, Online Nation, Life is Wild
One Tree Hill - is on the bench for now but will return midseason. According to the network, the show will be retooled from top to bottom, and the storyline will advance four years into the future after the characters have graduated from college. To satisfy eager fans, The CW will provide online diaries on its website this fall to keep viewers updated on what happened during those missing years.
Other midseason shows - include season two of Pussycat Dolls Present and two new reality series Farmer Wants a Wife and Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants.
Anything missing from the primetime schedule? - Yep, Veronica Mars has been removed due to its low ratings and, of course, no more Gilmore Girls and 7th Heaven.
