    :growl: Smallville postponed on the LAST MINUTE for one week to protect the network's #1 show, The Vampire Diaries :growl:

    Oops. When The CW announced on the afternoon of Thursday, Jan 28 that it was making a last minute scheduling change, postponing the Friday mid-season premieres of "Smallville" and "Supernatural" for one week, pandemonium hit Twitter and blogs.

    The move, CW reps told Zap2it, was made to protect the network's #1 show, "The Vampire Diaries," from the inevitable ratings hit it would suffer opposite ratings giant "American Idol." The network was anticipating a massive drop in the ratings, possibly in response to the lower-than-expected ratings for the "Vampire Diaries" and "Nikita" reruns aired on Wednesday night.

    By airing reruns of "The Vampire Diaries" and "Nikita" 2011 premieres on Friday, without the "Idol" competition, the network would give the episodes a better chance at being seen by the full audience. To TV insiders, the move did make sense -- you've got to make sure the cash cow is well-fed.

    Here's the problem: that massive ratings dip that "The Vampire Diaries" and "Nikita" were expected to suffer didn't happen. Both series maintained viewership consistent with the first half of their seasons. Apparently, fans of The CW's Thursday lineup are die-hard enough to stick with their shows, even with the temptation of Steven Tyler and J.Lo on FOX.

    In other words... they didn't really need to move "Smallville" and "Supernatural" after all.

    i never liked smallville.but the show has being able to maintain good ratings so it must be a good show.i guess what you mentioned is the writer dilemma we see in every tv show.(most of the time)when the end is comming they tend to make the story so corny.(ex - lost,prisonbreak,heroes)

    sv's beginning was soo good. and its heartbreaking to see sv like this, nevertheless they should have stopped SV after 6th or 7th Season! now Its more like කෝපි ක‍ඩේ! and btw Prison brake did end well ! i dont know much about heros coz i haven't watched it yet. i think Vampire diaries will face this same problem in near future !

    prisonbreak sucked a bit,that whole techno - scylla thing was just too bad.
    talking about bad endings i forgot mention terminator sarah connor chronicles.

    vampire diaries is a major show for CW.thats why they moved SV n supernatural(awesome show BTW).i dont think they will cancel it.even the last week show got more viewer count than predicted so we have to believe that people like it.but cannot say much coz i haven't seen it.

    dude කෝපි ක‍ඩේ!pattayi.moka nobaluwath kopi kade balanathuwa inna mama.:baffled::lol:

    vampire diaries is for fucking fags! who wanna watch dumbass vampire drama! for fucks sakes! supernatural and smallville are lightyears ahead of that piece of shit! most of the people (it should be most of the girls, since its audience majority is girls) just watch it for the sake of seeing some hot guys! fucking pathetic if you ask me! RETARDS!
