Our Fave Shows Will Return! 90210, ANTM, Gossip Girl, OTH, Smallville and Supernatural Get Early Pickups
Good news! The CW has already announced pickups of some of our favorite shows for next season! We can stop worrying about the fates of America's Next Top Model, 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Smallville and Supernatural, because we know they'll all be back. Whoo-hoo!
Some of those pickups are hardly a surprise. ANTM is the network's big reality hit, and we can't even imagine a universe where Gossip Girl would be canceled. So the news is welcome, but not groundbreaking.
But the other shows gave us a bit more reason for concern: 90210 didn't have the blockbuster ratings the network seemed to expect, and it took a while to find its feet. But now that we're well into the Dilver romance, and Adrianna's multiple traumatic storylines have broken out, we're hooked. Plus, we always love the opportunity to gaze on sexy teacher Ryan, and we hold out hope for more Grandma Tabitha. Bring it on!
You all know how much we adore Supernatural, and we thought the network would be crazy to axe it -- but we've seen networks kill great genre shows before. So now that the show is safely renewed, we can breathe again -- and start wondering how Kripke & Co. are going to pull off the Angel/Demon war, the Winchesters at odds, and all the rest. Plus, how the heck will they top last year's season finale?
That leaves One Tree Hill and Smallville, which are long-time CW stars with passionate fans, but we wondered if the creators and stars were looking to wind down the series. There has been some debate on this very site about whether the shows have more stories to tell -- but The CW and the showrunners have just weighed in with an emphatic yes by renewing them. How do you think these shows will evolve in their seventh and ninth seasons?
Conspicuously absent from the list? Privileged and Reaper. Privileged has its season finale tonight, and we really hope this charming, feel-good show comes back for a second season. Tune in to give it a ratings boost! Reaper doesn't debut until next week, and we're waiting for it with bated breath. We hope both of these great shows get picked up again!
The release also didn't mention the Friday-night comedies, Everybody Hates Chris and The Game. We love the shows, but we're not surprised by the lack of love. The CW seems to have been moving away from comedy and focusing on making the network a destination for young women. Still, it would be a shame for these shows to disappear!
What do you think of the news? Vote in our polls, and talk about it in the comments!

I'm so glad Smallville and Supernatural are back. I have no idea how they're going to start off Supernatural..all hells gonna break lose, literally. As for Smallville, why doesn't Clark become superman already...we all know that whats gonna happen anyways. I dont know about Lois, she gets on my nerves, and she is kind of old. I wish she owuld just stop being stupid and realize she loves Clark. He should start going out with someone else so she can get jealous and realize. Either I'll be watchinggg!lol

Is Sam Witwer going to be on the cast of Smallville for season 9? If not, I will not be watching.

who ever posts these comments, needs to check to and make sure there posting the comments with the right name of who wrote it cause Carly you have MY comment about supernatral posted under your name and i HATE One Tree Hill, i dont even watch that show. so if your going to lie about who post what take my name off the list cause i wrote
I am so happy SUPERNATURAL is back!!
Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, in my personal opinion you two are the BEST actors that T.V series has ever seen. You guys play so many different roles so well. You guys are the best!!!
not Carly. ok so try and get it right!!!

Im really happy that so many great shows are coming back, its really fantastic.
I am the biggest One Tree Hill fan in the world but the recent rumors of Chad and Hilarie not coming back is not great. Hilarie posted a video on you tube and it sounds like she really wont be coming back. which sucks. I am really disapointed about this :( If the whole cast wont be in the show then I dont think it should come back. If this the case and Hilarie and Chad arent coming back then end it here, Im a huge fan and love the show but id rather that it finsh at 6 seasons with the whole gang rather than another season with part of the cast. It wont be the same ..... :(
But yay for Supernatural coming back too, love the show.
Posted by: Charlene | February 27, 2009 5:27 PM
The Cw is crap besides SPN....Im so glad its back but its no surprise
Posted by: Madss | February 27, 2009 5:19 PM
YAYY ONE TREE HILL (all the cast better be back though!)
AND PLEASE BRING BACK PRIVILEGED U HAVE GOLD THERE U JUS GOTTA ADVERTISE IT instead of focusing on the failure that is 90210.
i didn't even know it was coming out this year (privileged) but after accidently seeing something about it here i bought the first ep on itunes and have been a fan EVERSINCE! i watch every episode on time on tv!!!! its my favorite wednesday night show!
Posted by: T.T | February 27, 2009 1:02 PM
I don't get the renewal of One Tree Hill Minus Chad and Hilarie. Why pick the show up without 2 of the core 5.
Posted by: G' | February 27, 2009 11:40 AM
ooo THANKS GOD!!! SUPERNATURAL BACK!!
yeah!!!!
i love that!!!!
thanks cw!!!!
you are the best!!!
I LOVE YOU JENSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE SPN!
Posted by: valentina | February 26, 2009 12:03 PM
OMG! It's fantastic! Gossip Girl and Supernatural will came back next year with new seasons! Above all Supernatural! I'm so happy! I hope GG's third season will be a little better than the second...
Posted by: Super17 | February 26, 2009 6:11 AM
Well, looks like everyone is excited mostly about SPN. No wonder, as it is the only show that still remains really exciting. You watch the episode, you don't regret the time you spent on it. So I join the cheering crowd for these guys!!!
I'll also be glad to see new GG season. Blair and Chuck never disappoint, really.
I love OTH, but don't get me wrong - why continue? It was amazing for first 3 seasons, 4th was weird and 5&6 bore the hell out of everyone! Mark, just get over with it and move on already!
Posted by: AnnaZ | February 26, 2009 3:55 AM
I'm SOO happy that Supernatural was renewed that I don't even have the words to express it.
And I really hope that there are no strikes that cause us to lose any more episodes!!!

Supernatural!! Many people seem to agree with me here. Good taste.
"What show are you least excited to see return?" - I didn't really know what to vote for. It amused me to see Supernatural is almost winning that one too :D
Posted by: WarriorGirl | February 25, 2009 3:23 PM
I'm so excited for Smallville to come back for a 9th season.
Posted by: Jennifer | February 25, 2009 3:18 PM
Without a doubt Supernatural is THE best television show to ever grace our tv screens, so this news is fantastic!! I never want this show to end as it seems to go from strength to strength with each new season and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful news, you've really made my day! :-)
Posted by: AmandaF | February 25, 2009 2:19 PM
SUPERNATURAL IS BACK!
THANK U DAWN OSTROFF! Its like Xmas in Feb!
That show is the only reason I watch your network, so good thing you renewed it!!!!!!
Posted by: christina | February 25, 2009 1:44 PM
Yea baby smallville... I am so exicted... I don't think I would be able to go on living if they cancelled it... Lois needs to go...
And supernatural... More Jensen....
Posted by: jay | February 25, 2009 11:26 AM
Thanks for passing along! I'm not into the new 90210 but I respect that they'll try again. I want the PL wedding storyline and the movie to get done, Megan's book to get published, and prom with the Gossip Girl cast (although they have a formal party every other week already).
Posted by: colleen | February 25, 2009 8:46 AM
UHU!!! SUPERNATURAL IS BACK, THANKS GOODNESS.

Like I said when I first heard the news about SUPERNATURAL's renewal:
There IS a God!

Posted by: Robin Vogel | February 25, 2009 7:21 AM
I've had a crappy week so far, but now things are looking up -- Supernatural gets a Season 5!!!! Go Sam and Dean!!!!!!
Posted by: Pam | February 25, 2009 5:08 AM
No Lois Please. Erica Durance is too old and untalented to take up space. What is a 40 year old woman playing a 20 year old Lois. Durance is just not believable. sorry, but most people feel that way.
Posted by: jen | February 25, 2009 4:37 AM
The only show that I am totally and truly happy that's returning is Supernatural!
*dances around*
Posted by: Kayla | February 24, 2009 11:46 PM
This is awesome news. The show has never been better and I'm glad Kripke gets a full season where he can plan to tell his story with proper pacing so that he can wrap his story up the way he wants. Congrats Team Supernatural.
Posted by: DeanFTW | February 24, 2009 11:05 PM
all I care about is the Whincherst boys and hteir friends.
I love supernatural!

This is absolutely the best news ... i am soooooo happy that we will get the full five year plan that Kripke always intended! more Jared, Jensen and Misha Collins = love for the CW.
now if we can just make tomorrow March 12 ... need my supernatural fix and holy crap the promo makes me absolutely dizzy with excitement:)
Posted by: Elaine | February 24, 2009 8:14 PM
I'm just happy to see that Supernatural will get it's planned 5 season story arc as Kripke always planned it. The show is amazing and I'm so happy to be a fan of it during one of it's best seasons yet. I'm DYING to see how it all ends, yet I don't want it to.
Posted by: Kimberly | February 24, 2009 7:51 PM
Supernatural and Smallville *-*

I hope that Privileged also come back..
Posted by: Carina | February 24, 2009 7:12 PM
I don't think this bodes well for Privileged, but I am optimistic.

Supernatural is back, and that's all that matters! And it seems currently 277 other people agree with me!
Alright Winchester brothers!
Posted by: Allie McDaniel | February 24, 2009 5:56 PM
I really didn't know what to choose with
"What show are you least excited to see return?"
I need an extra category:
I don't care, i'm just so happy that Supernatural comes back. I'm happy for the other shows and their fans but I don't really care!
Posted by: cassi | February 24, 2009 5:35 PM
i just hope chad is back too
Posted by: mumu | February 24, 2009 5:02 PM
