Dammit all to hell! "Everwood" is going on Hiatus beginning January 12th, for 8 weeks!!!...."Beauty and the geek" will be in it's timeslot. The WB did this last year too. Can't they get rid of one of the "Related" episodes....And by the way, the WB's airing "Beauty and the geek" encores on fridays. This just sucks.

From TVGuide.com [About the Hiatus]
-I don't know if the Everwood Peeps have seen this or not, but I thought it might be something the Everwood Peeps want to know or hear about.

Question: I just heard that the WB is yanking Everwood until March to make room for Beauty and the Geek 2. Is this true? And if it is, isn't it hurting Everwood's chances of becoming the breakout show that its dedicated viewers (including critics like yourself) know it should be? How can they expect to build its audience if it's off the air for so long? Whatever happened to repeats? Not everyone has TiVo, and some of us actually enjoy being able to catch up on missed episodes, especially when it doesn't look like any DVDs (past Season 1) are ever coming out. Programming like this makes me worry about Everwood's future. — Hilary

Matt Roush: I wouldn't fret about Everwood. It did surprisingly well this fall paired with Smallville, which performed amazingly well in that tough Thursday time period. Everwood, however, is of a genre that traditionally does terribly in repeats, so resting it during January and February (when Geek will be much more suitable counterprogramming to the Winter Olympics) may actually do Everwood a favor. The reality of the business now is that many shows on many networks no longer go into rerun cycles. Instead, they disappear for a while as new (or, like Geek, returning) shows get a shot. But that doesn't mean WB has given up on the show. To the contrary. They know what a gem they have in this steadily improving show. And if they don't, I'm hoping reviews like mine will remind them. The good news is that the show will return sometime in March for the remainder of a full season, and I can't imagine it won't be renewed.

To answer Matt, who asks: "It seems that the WB doesn't promote Everwood as much as many of its other shows. It's always a Smallville ad with 'followed by Everwood' in tiny print. Is there a reason?" The answer is pretty simple. Smallville is WB's key franchise hit on Thursday. It will get the lion's share of promotion to reinforce and possibly even grow its success. Everwood may look like an afterthought in the promotion, but it's probably just as well that it doesn't have to live up to Smallville's hype to continue surviving.

The WB looks to be behind Everwood, which is good.. Everwood has a loyal fan base, which is great for the show.
