Just like
NBC, ABC and
CBS, the CW is already giving us a sampling of the goodies from
its new fall shows. I'm most excited about the clips from "Gossip Girl" (pictured above), but there are also short videos and photos for the network's other new series. All of the clips are in
this video player, or you can also read about each show and link directly to its video by clicking on the show name here:
"Aliens in America," "Reaper," "Gossip Girl," "Life is Wild," "CW Now," and
"Online Nation."
Here are my snap judgments: "Reaper," which is produced by Kevin Smith, looks basically like a buddy comedy, but about zombie hunters; "Life is Wild" reminds me an awful lot of "7th Heaven" but with large jungle animals; "Aliens in America" seems terrible or surprisingly promising, depending on which clip I watched; and I love that the kids in "Gossip Girl" actually look like high schoolers — with the exception of the main character, at least.
A year after the WB and UPN merged to become the CW, the network is shaking off many of the programs it inherited and coming up with a lineup all its own. It's heavy on reality shows, with a couple of dramas and a teen comedy thrown in for good measure.
But as for the big question: "Veronica Mars" is dead.
