So, after flipping through the channels last night to see what was on and noticing that a Victoria's Secret fashion show was on the CW, I got to wondering: does anybody else wish our favorite show was on another network? Or, at least, that the CW would change? Is it just me, or does the CW suck? I wouldn't actually ask this in the CW Lounge, because the target audience for all the crap the channel shows hangs out there. And they probably love that stuff. Although, it seems bizarre to me that someone who loves Supernatural could love ". . . Top Model" and "Crowned," etc. (Unless, of course, they're just super young and their raging hormones demand they watch hot guys on TV, regardless of the format.)

Speaking of "Crowned," OH. MY. GOD. Is this really happening?! Am I hallucinating?! Is there really a "reality" show on about pageant people?! Seriously?! No, SERIOUSLY?! What has this world come to?! (No offense to anyone who may do or have done pageants; it's just not a good subject for a TV show!) Supernatural is really too good for that network. Other than a couple of other shows (only one of which is more than decent) Supernatural is the only (original) show I bother watching on the CW. I wish a better network could hijack it somehow! I think one of the reasons Supernatural doesn't have the popularity it deserves is because it's on a channel most intelligent/mature adults probably don't take seriously. I, myself, actually discovered Supernatural (and, by association, the CW) accidentally, when I had to cancel my satellite and was bored half to death one night and desperately trying to find something good to watch. (Wow, the happiest accident of my life, I think!) I had never bothered checking out that network before, cuz, from what I could tell, it was full of suck.

*SIGH* Thanks for tolerating my venting and questioning!

I think the only correct answer to this question is a resounding YES.
CW sucks huge donkey balls. The hairy sort. If we could move to pretty much ANY other network, I'd be through the roof happy.

The problem is that it was UPN and WB, which were both great channels, and then when they ammalgamated, they stuck Dawn Ostroff at the head of the ship. Unfortunately, she's a ditzy high school girl living in an old hag's body. Thus, you have shows like Gossip Girl and ANTM getting pushed while Supernatural flounders in the wake of Grey's and CSI each week. They don't promote the show in any way (as Jensen pointed out in the interview I linked to in the "Don't be hatin' on Jen" thread, they didn't even give them new promo photos for this season), they mix up promos for which episode is on that week, and they don't give the show any visibility. Thursday @ 9pm is MURDER and they just go with it.

*sigh* I hate CW.

So, some donkey balls are NOT hairy? I've actually never seen them, so I really wouldn't know. I would guess either variety would be disgusting to suck, though. Cool

(Sorry, y'all!)

Yeah, I saw that too! The wrong ep. commercial! I couldn't believe it! I was like, "Uh, wrong episode, dumbasses!" And they plaster commercials for almost ALL of their other piles of crap--er, I meant "shows"--all over the place constantly and practically never show one for Supernatural! What gives? At least it got a little, you know, green-background promo commercial thingy. (Jensen is so adorably cheesy in that when he points at the camera! Laughing

)

And the network theme song (?) is irritating. "That's how you get into it!" What's how? Even when they ran the full-length promo spot, I couldn't understand what the hell she was singing so, even if I wanted to "get into" the CW (which I don't), I don't know how. (I think the word "free" was mentioned. That's no help. I just know I'm "free" to change the channel, thank goodness!) So, I guess I'll just have to stay out of it. Shucky darns. Twisted Evil

"That's how you get into CW now!" Shut up! (Note: it is slightly less irritating than the "Get ready" theme from last year, though.)

Ooh, even though it would suck for me (although I'd try my damndest to find a way around it) wouldn't it be awesome if Supernatural were on some subscription cable channel? Just so they wouldn't have to be so censored? I mean, really, do you think Dean would say "effed-up" instead of "fucked-up," for instance? (Not that curse words are my passion in life or anything! It's just an example of the realistic stuff that has to be cencored on network TV.) And the effects crew could really cut loose with the blood and stuff! Censoring just really annoys me sometimes. Esp. with a show like this. Can't we petition HBO or something?

By the way, Sarah, I'm just shocked that you aren't always sitting on the edge of your seat, dying to see who's going to be the Next Top Model or Pussy Cat Doll, etc.! Like, don't you know how important that stuff is?! You're SO uncool! (Ha ha!)

Warning--tangent: Speaking of ANTM, I've actually suffered through a few eps. of that (remember, please: I do NOT have cable/satellite or high-speed 'net! OR many great DVDs/VHS tapes. And, until a few days ago, I couldn't pull in all the network channels. My home entertainment options are quite limited!! I get desperate sometimes!). Wow. I used to think it'd be cool to be a model. But after seeing those vapid, catty, self-absorbed, vain, egomaniacal air heads? I realize I was sadly mistaken. I think I'd kill myself if I had to hang around people like that for more than a week or so! Some people's beauty really IS only skin deep! Yikes!

OK, I am IMing my friend in England. He's at work, so sometimes he has to pause our conversation to. . . yep, you guessed it, work. I get bored then and start randomly surfing random crap that pops into my head. I suddenly felt like checking to see if anyone else was irritated by the CW song and the first thing that popped up was the LYRICS to the song and the name of the artis! Laughing

Why?! Has anyone really been wanting to know these things? So, for your amusement and annoyance, I present the following:

Nicole Scherzinger - Get Into It lyrics

Y’all aint ready [x2]
That’s how you get into it [x2]
That’s how you get into the CW now
Everybody listen to me that’s how you get into it
This is how it’s going to be that’s how you get into it
We know how to start the party that’s how you get into it
That’s how you get with the CW now

Every time I get into it, I just feel so free
Call it into wishing, we know what we wanna see

Wanna see, wanna see what’s going on from the screen
Everybody get into the CW see
Bet you wanna feel it, got me feeling so free
Don’t you wanna get into feeling sexy?
Everybody is part of the family
Get into it; yea we wanna do it, you and me

Everybody listen to me that’s how you get into it
This is how it’s going to be that’s how you get into it
That’s how you get with the CW now

Laughing

WHAT?! So, from these lyrics, I guess we have to start a party to be able to "get into it." THAT must be why I can't "get into it!" I've never tried partying first! Are they implying that you need to have a good few drinks in ya (or other substances) and other people and music around before you'll be able to enjoy this network? Seems like it to me! We should try that! Wink

Yes. I do have too much time on my hands. It IS "tickin' away with my sanity."

Well, I don't know what they're trying to imply.
All I know is that everytime I saw that commercial I couldn't help thinking "Get into what? Your underwear?" because you can so see it (where's that puking smiley when you need it?)
I really wish our awesome show was in a different channel where Sex is not the #1 theme Rolling Eyes
