pomporiking:^^ Dude, if it were only about capturing the target audience, then shows like Crisis and Almost Human never would have been cancelled at all, cuz both shows garnered strong fanbases during the short period of their respective airing. Those networks cared more about quality than fanbase or target audience. The CW is another matter. I don't think The CW cares about stuffs like ratings or quality or fanbases. It just wants to keep from sinking under, thus, it kept ridiculous shows like TVD afloat when the logical thing is to wrap it all up and concentrate solely on the spin-off, The Original. The alacrity by which it churn out silly shows like Beauty And The Beast is alarming to say the least. |

Ultimatesammie: Dude, you're arguably the most ridiculous character I've dealt with since I registered last year. A show can be poor and still have a lot of fanbase. The perfect examples are starring you right in the face, but your delusions of grandeur wouldn't let you see anything. Keep living in fools Paradise. |

koice: Crisis had a strong fanbase!!!that's a big fat lie.it was a very average show with poor ratings which was rightly cancelled Why do you keep bringing up cw?? are we arguing about the network or just some of its shows |

CW have the best picture quality...same with STARZ,,,CW vampire tv shows suck,vampire diaries and the originals but the rest r great |

crisis sucks big time! |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Nobody: 5:14pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
pomporiking: Calling Crisis an average show is absurd considering the content and plot however weak was far better than most of the nonsense that pass for dramas on The CW. To answer your question, The CW is a troubled network with a long history of shoving sub-par TV shows down the throat of people that don't know any better, hence, I cannot criticize it's shows without painting it with the same brush as well. |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Nobody: 5:27pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
cronoseus: Are you for real?? Lemme break it down for you. The CW shoot most of their top shows on 720p to 1080p - the same video resolutions as the big 4 (NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX). Premium cables like HBO, Showtime and Starz shoot theirs on 1080p-1920p. Bottom line: Premium cable TV shows have the best PPI and DPI on account that they are shot on full HD. |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Nobody: 5:31pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
cronoseus: Thus, the cancellation, but on presentation alone, it outclassed 95% of what you see on The CW. |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by cronoseus(m): 5:32pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
all the same..the quality is phenomenal even Gotham's video quality is spot on,,though i dont know its producer |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by cronoseus(m): 5:35pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
no ways man..crisis sucks in all aspects...it should have been produced by smthn like FOX network,,they know how to sequence their shows,,like in 24,the biggest show |

crisis is nowhere near average...there are many good tv shows out there,crisis aint one of them sleepy hollow sucks too |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by cronoseus(m): 7:29pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
crisis is in the same genre with blacklist..and clearly blacklist was a killer,crisis lacked something,,but it would have rocked if it was produced by different entities,,also the cast were a flop |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Darey00(m): 8:21pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
CW sucks. TVD sucks TO sucks The 100 Sucks Arrow sucks The Flash sucks ditto ditto Fans of CW are kids and teenagers who lack an adult sense of humour.. If you don't watch series coming from HBO,FOX,AMC etc.... you are not grown up.... ===> OK ...I don talk am for you. Can we have peace now? |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Nobody: 8:45pm On Feb 21, 2015 |
cronoseus: Do you know the real reason why Crisis had to be axed? 2 words: Budget cuts. NBC had to axe a lot of their new shows last summer because of fund issue and only super hits like The Blacklist, Hannibal and Grimm survived the cut. Crisis didn't get discontinued because it sucked, rather because of pure bad luck. |

Darey00:Yet so many adults around the world watch it, there are are scientific terms illustrations that so many adults might not even understand yet u claim they are 4 kids pls. The CW shows brings excitement a particular episode can steer u up not d other shows dat u wud hv to wait until u hv watched like 5-6 be4 main act starts. @koice why is it paining u so much dude, dem dey pay u o boy aaaaaa.

Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Nobody: 4:42am On Feb 22, 2015 |
Darey00: Your sad attempt at sarcasm was lost on me bro cuz you I don't watch FOX shows either! In fact, I avoid it's shows as much as I do The CWs. The CW targets a specific demographics - Teens demographics, I wasn't the one that made the rules, merely saying things as they were. No need to be unnecessarily flippant. |
Re: The Shows On The CW Suck So Bad. by Nobody: 5:36am On Feb 22, 2015 |
Nathysmith: Yeah, the CW is now all about SFF (Science Fantasy Fiction), most of whom have no real scientific backing. It mixes fact with so much fantasy that poor guys like you don't stand a chance. Just see how you were quick to reference it's shows as melting pot of scientific illustrations! You couldn't be more wrong. The 100 is chock full of scientific fallacies that an Adult that doesn't see 'em needs psychological help. That's why I tell my friends to watch SYFY/Showcase TV shows whenever they have an urge to watch something sciencey and enthralling. Ever heard of Continum? Very educative as well as entertaining. Battlestar Galactica? Leant so much from watching that series. The Sanctuary? As sciencey as they come while it plays with your mind. Stargate Atlantis? Learnt so much about space travels and the exciting possibilities. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to learn anything from The CW's version of SFF till date. The CW only excite those that don't know any better. I don't get a rise of any kind myself. Whenever I try to watch an episode for the purpose of review, I usually try to get through it by scanning past a lot of monotonous, boring scenes. The CW shows don't make one think, neither do they really excite. Fight scenes lack real coordination and professionalism, one thing becomes clear instantly from watching one. They rely more on CGIs than an artistic approach. Never seen a great memorable fight scene from the stables of The CW till date, no siree! The dialogues are a joke. Education wise, it's pathetic. You won't learn new words or terms from watching shows produced by The CW. Blood and gore wise and real life situations are lost on The CW shows. You don't see a traditional bloody scenes neither can you relate to the fantasy influenced characters and actions. The CW is a lightweight and it's shows are beyond ridiculous. That's just the way it is. |

koice:You know,I finally get what your problem is... What you fail to understand here is that despite watching CW shows,it still doesn't stop anyone from watching shows from syfy or HBO or ABC or Showtime or AMC or Cinemax... I remember when I was kid that I used to watch ROSWELL.Then,it was a TV show to me that I really followed,but now,I can't watch it again,but does that I mean I should now start insulting anybody who didn't watch it then and is watching it now? Like I have been telling u all along,I don't think there is any TV show u have watched that I havent watched.....but I will always watch cw shows that get my attention.. Talking of CONTINUUM,it is a really good show which I followed ( still following) and I don't think it is any difference from other Time travel films ( I don't think any series will ever top Doctor Who on that one)..In the past,I wouldn't have even followed CONTINUUM cuz two of its main characters would have been distasteful to me(one is a teenager and one is a female)...The more reason I look at 12 Monkeys as a joke!! I followed "the Sanctuary",but I couldn't continue cuz I have not really developed that taste of Female lead characters in shows(movies are exceptions) then.... You keep saying NBC cut Crisis due to fan flop or budget, but since I knew NBC,that's their character..Most of the shows they cancel would have better found its way to other networks and gotten better development...That's why I will always advice people to stay away from NBC shows, cuz they will always break Ur heart..I decided to follow GRIMM cuz its in its fourth season now and still airing(and am enjoying the show) ..... The bottom line here is,that you can't continue watching watching cw shows doesn't mean that others should.. 99% of us here are not direct fans(I mean we mostly download this shows or buy the pirated copies) including you and i... So stop all this fuss bro,there is nothing to it!! 1 Like |

If you like watch Game of thrones till thy kingdom come I don't see any way in which u are better than the average Joe that watches cartoons all day.. I listen to Foreign artistes mostly, cos I can't stand d rubbish being spewed out by 9ja artistes.. yet I don't condemn people who listen to them cos I know aw the human nature works.. its all about choice. u find d CW shows lame, fine,sit down and take a chill pill. start living life.

philfearon: Finally! A maturely constructed argument. It's a refreshing feeling. ^^ You were right on the fact people can watch shows from other network and still enjoy the ones from The CW, but that wasn't the point I tried to make in my earlier post. Sure, some adults enjoy watching The CW, but when you dig deep, something jumps out at you, something so consistent that it mustn't be ignored. Something called "sentiments". Most adults stick to The Present CW shows based on their past affiliations. Shows like Smallville and Supernatural drew in a lot of Adult audience for the CW - I for one still enjoy Supernatural - and some didn't jump ship even when Smallville wrapped up. What they did instead was to transfer their affections and loyalty to the newer CW productions no matter how absurd they (the shows) were. But that's BTW. The point I tried to make was this: The CW shows - most of them anyway - are not memorable or comparable to shows from other networks. Someone in his/her right mind couldn't possibly and honestly compare Reign with Vikings. The chereoghapy and presentations alone in Vikings put Reign to Shame. Do you know why? Reign, atypically - being a CW show and all - rely on heavy use of CGI, while Vikings took the Broadway approach - the right approach. Okay let's look at the 100 and the short lived Revolution.What does the former had that the later doesn't. Simple: Revolution is actually believable, and backed up with sound scientific credibility. If Revolution was a CW show, believe me, it would have become their greatest hit show ever! But then again, being The CW, they would have prolly ruined it anyway. NBC is a struggling network that has long history of axing promising shows, but there is one thing you can't take from them, they know how to make hit shows - good television. Their shows are almost always quite memorable. Even today, "Heroes" is still fresh in our respective minds. The quality of their shows is as such that it's adviceable you enjoy 'em while they last, cuz you never know when they might yank off the chain. NBC may be unreliable, but at least, they keep the masses entertained with strongly written and executed TV shows. Fans of the CW can rave and praise their favorite shows to the high heavens for all I care, but they should always endeavor to remember and understand that their darling shows wouldn't pass muster and heavy scrutiny. That's all. |

@koice u don't just get it do u ? The likes of HBO ,ABC n NBC hv already chosen a particular target to feed dia shows to whether de diverse to keep d teens warm in dia beds with teen tagged shows...The CW is a new entity dat was formed with d merge of UPN n WB in 06 or thereabout ,so it's new n it's like tasking Tottenham to usurp d front 3 in EPL ,it's not n easy task at all ,The likes of NBC n co r averaging up to 20 million viewers per show so if u hv dat large amount of viewers n suddenly a show dat was averaging 8 million viewers in ratings drop to 4 million in rating ,wouldn't u cancel d show? If the CW has a large viewer ship ,don't u think dat de would be cancelling shows dat fall in ratings? What about SYFY or TMT or Lifetime? so de should cancel shows cos it doesn't involve sex scenes right? I mean what's ur definition of an adult show? d show dat involves hardcore sex scenes n vulgar languages cos dat one sells also ,dis kind of shows gather a large fan base cos of dat ,The cw averages at least 5 million viewers per episode in a show(like supernatural season 1) if u remove de WWE dat garnered a large fan base when d cw aired it so on dat bases ,any show dat maintains at least 2 million viewers per episode is riding high in d network's schedule ...And looking at d shows like originals n TVD ,if d twilight film series had a big fan base den what makes d former bad? like I said ,it's preference not bull crap ... Like I said b4 ,d marvel n DC comics movies gross ridiculous amounts of cash despite it being an adaptation from comics meant for kids ,dis is possible cos of d attraction it gets not cos of it's budget ,dia r high budget movies dat implode at d box office, Marvel n DC r banking on d number of teens dat read the comics n want to see a movie adaptation ,ppl don't go to see movies cos of d high budget but cos of d appeal...look at d movie "John Carter" which had up to more dan 200 million dollars as budget ,what happened? it bombed at d box office ,it's not about d budget ,it's d appeal n choice... So if u hate shows dat r broadcasted on the cw cos u find it "unadult" ,den better stay away from it 3 Likes |

koice:I get you... The thing is, most cw shows are too childish..Then again,you have been saying that they have a set demographic population they target..So,the difference is clear.. If they were to have another set of demographic population ( say 27-45),would their storylines and production techniques be the same? Despite its popularity and fame,I couldn't continue watching Merlin(stopped in S2 or so) cuz it was becoming too childish for my liking.. I had to stop watching TVD in early S02 cuz,cuz apparently,the show directors lost it.. I couldn't get past episode two of REIGN... But it doesn't mean others don't enjoy them or that I should start criticising them..Its just choice... I couldn't watch TWD again cuz I watched WORLD WAR Z(you know,quality zombies..not those awful gully looking wretched things in TWD)..But yet,TWD is like a culture to many TV show lovers... Just understand that it is choice.. I had to finish watching the LEFTOVERS just bcus I saw Christopher Eccleston in the show..just like I will watch any show that Morena Baccarin is in..I had to stop myself from watching HOMELAND S04 cuz Brody is dead(didn't see any reason to continue watching it again)... The point am making here is,its really disrespectful and rude referring to people who watch certain TV shows in demeaning manner..... Thats why i took you up on the other thread..Its not that I have anything against you!! 2 Likes |

@koice it's not dat The CW shows suck a$$ ,it's just dat u don't like any of dem n dat is sad in my opinion cos it led u to open dis thread in other to castigate dia shows ,nothing more ...And u should stop saying crap about adults who still watch CW shows ,it's about choice n ur opinion(s) won't do a fat load of good ...by d way ,we don't even contribute to d ratings so why all d fuss? |
