Agreed. This season was a complete failure and they can't have another season like this. 90210 started with such promise and then ended up being a flop, probably due in part to the endless repeats which The CW has got to work on. Gossip Girl also fell significantly for the same reason. It's lights out in 2010 if they don't make MAJOR MAJOR progress next season.

They started the season earlier than the other networks. If they're going to do this then they better order more episodes. You can't have repeats airing in January and February while the other networks have original episodes airing. It seemed like 90210 was always in repeats at the beginning of the year and they lost viewers. Soaps do not repeat well either. The original 90210 and MP and even the 1980's soaps like Dallas and KL would have about 30 episodes a season. That way they stayed fresh all year long.
