I had assumed the CW would announce their fall schedule today. A lot more interest in this network than I used to have with Wild Cards, Trivial Pursuit, and Law and Order Toronto: Criminal Intent. I am hoping Good Cop/Bad Cop sees a 2nd CW season and Trivial Pursuit has a much bigger episode order. If that one animal show can get a 100 episode "season", Trivial Pursuit can have at least 20 episodes a season.

The good news: Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble have both been renewed for supersized 30 episode 2nd seasons. More good news: LeVar Burton remains the host of Trivial Pursuit while Craig Ferguson will replace Raven-Symone, who was really weak as the host of Scrabble. (Raven will remain an executive producer.) The bad news: both shows will not premiere their new seasons until 2026. What is on the fall 2025 schedule still remains a mystery, I definitely think Wild Cards will make it with two more seasons available from Canada.

The CW announced several new Hallmark-esque movies that will be airing in the fall. But they still won't release a full fall schedule yet. :soapbox:

Dick Wolf will be competing against himself. While the CW still won't release their full fall schedule, Law and Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will air Wednesdays at 8:00 with a premiere date announced. I had assumed Wild Cards would stay there, CW had better not drop it from their station.

Last month, CTV renewed Sullivan's Crossing for S4, expecting to be released in 2026.
Now, The CW has renewed it as well.

How can be already be in September and there is no schedule for the CW yet? It's just Law and Order Toronto: Criminal Intent on Wednesdays at 8/7 ct. Plus, Tuesdays have WWE NXT. But otherwise, it's nothing for Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Saturdays meanwhile, are sports and Sundays are movies.

TV We Love is moving an hour later to Mondays at 9:00/8:00 starting next week. Airing at 8:00/7:00 now will be repeats of Penn and Teller: Fool Us. They had better air all 8 episodes of TV We Love and not yank it.

The CW will air season 3 of Wild Cards. For the first time it won't be airing on Wednesdays, moving to Mondays at 8:00/7:00 starting January 26. Glad to see the official announcement, now I hope Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble with the improved host are scheduled soon.

TV We Love had some interesting spots. But there is too much they left out.
No mention of I Love Lucy's continuation show The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour
No mention of Vicki Stubing on The Love Boat, Ted McGinley and the mermaids who were mentioned were on it a lot less.
No mention of Touched by an Angel's spin-off Promised Land. While not as successful, Promised Land still had a solid three season run.
Frasier spin-off was briefly mentioned on Cheers, would be nice to have a full episode about Frasier if we get a 2nd season.
The Honeymooners episode was my least favorite, that show is so overrated. Ralph Kramden was an obnoxious loudmouth whose threats against his wife were not funny.

The CW got it half right this Christmas season. They are airing Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colors tomorrow night. But they should have gotten the sequel Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love to air as well. It is also too bad NBC never ordered a 3rd movie while the cast was still young enough, should have been a trilogy. :mad:
