The only things that have bugged me about the CW is the resurrection of 7th Heaven. 7th Heaven didn't deserve to last as long as did. Bringing back to the CW was a dumb move and canning Everwood as a result was also a dumb move. Everwood had much better acting and writing than 7th Heaven. The only person with talent on 7th Heaven was Jessica Biel and she got out of the show at the right time.

As for Gilmore Girls, the show ended at the right time and the original creators weren't involved with the final season due to their contract ending before the WB/UPN merger.

I think CW treated the inherited WB shows better than the UPN ones. One Tree Hill and Smallville have lasted too long. Smallville still has some quality while OTH drags out too much. The main reason the Melrose Place remake remained on for an entire season is because the show did have some critical acclaim and Katie Cassidy received a lot of praise. Critical acclaim helps some shows stay on the air. Sometime when a show has a low ratings it doesn't mean the quality of the show is bad. Sadly some of the current high ratings shows aren't great at all while some low ratings shows actually have actors and actresses who are talented. Katie's acting on MP was much better than some of the acting by Sophia Bush, Leighton Meester and Blake Lively on their shows.

You know another problem I had that I dont think was mentioned. I didnt like the fact that shows took way too much time off. What I mean is that a show like One Tree Hill would have there final new episode in November and not come back until Jan. Sometimes it would be even longer. I remember they stopped airing One Tree Hill and then showed an entire run of another series and then showed the rest of the One Tree Hill season!!
