Upfronts 2010: CW

This is my fifth and final entry on the 2010 Upfronts. You can find my comments on NBC, Fox, ABC, and CBS as well.

Thursday marks the fourth and final day of the 2010 Upfront presentations in New York. Today’s presenter, CW, may have had the most exciting presentation, but it had the least material to actually present.

While the rest of the networks made their presentations in hotel ballrooms, the CW rented out Madison Square Garden and featured a Katy Perry concert, looking much more the the upfronts of old when networks would go all out, but that was before this latest recession. Regardless, it at least gave them something to do, since they only ordered two new shows. The shows sound like typical CW fare – beautiful, privileged people in beautiful locations. Hellcats is about a “cool, hip, and alt” girl in pre-law who is forced to join the cheerleading squad, while Nikita is yet another version of La Femme Nikita. The only other announcements were that Supernatural will be rejoining Smallville, but on Friday nights this time, and that Smallville will finally be ending, after two seasons of assuming it would be let go.

That’s pretty much all there is to talk about coming out of the presentation today. Again, if clips or trailers for either of the new shows pop up later today, I’ll link them here. If you haven’t read them yet, check out my (much more in depth) rundowns of the presentations given by the other networks over the last several days by clicking the links at the top. Otherwise, thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll stick around as I return to my regular blogging schedule.

Edit: And here is the last round of completely unispiring clips.

Sleep well,
