The CW announced today that it was picking up Hart of Dixie for a third season and Beauty and the Beast for a second one. They also announced that The Originals, a spinoff from The Vampire Diaries, will be joining those two dramas, Supernatural, TVD and Arrow on the lineup in the fall.
While this all good news, it would be even better if The CW also picked up The Carrie Diaries for a second season. It so needs to come back or I will gag The CW with a spoon!
UPDATE: CBS has picked up Two and a Half Men for an 11th season! So that means if they keep their lineup the way it is, they only have room to add one new comedy in the fall.
Cult was moved from Tuesdays to Friday in hopes of saving it, but today The CW has pulled the show from its lineup for the foreseeable future. The show within in a show will be replaced by repeats for the at least the next three weeks. The Carrie Diaries (which they better pick up for season 2) season finale will air in its Friday night slot at 9p this week and then Oh Sit will fill in for the two weeks after that.
So what is the future for Cult? At this point the network has not made a decision. I guess we will have to try and brainwash them to get it back on the air or on their App at least to conclude its season. I wanted to see where they were going to go next with the show.
UPDATE: The show’s Cult leader Robert Knepper had this to say about Cult being pulled from the schedule, “It was a loss we were expecting, but I’m still saddened by the news. A great bunch of artists to work with. Onward and parallel. #cult” I will miss having him on our TVs every week, but I am sure he will be back before we know it.
Tonight at 8p it is the season finale for The Carrie Diaries and it is time for the Junior Prom. Can you guess who will be going and who they are going with?
Will Sebastian and Carrie kiss and make up and go together or are they forever dunzo? Will Mouse go public West or will she keep their relationship a secret? Will Mags and Walt go together as friends? Will Donna LaDonna be Prom Queen? I can’t tell you any of that!
What I will tell you is Carrie goes to another Manhattan party that we all wish we could go to? She will also get an offer she can’t refuse? Her dad and her sister will be having better luck in love, but how long can that last? Maggie finds out why Walt and her really broke up? And let’s just say she doesn’t handle finding out he likes boys well. We find out more about Mouse and she finds out more about herself. Two friends share a forbidden kiss. Someone loses their virginity. Someone gets rejected. And two are friends are friends no more. And did I mention our first Sex and the City girl is part of tonight’s episode?
While I am sad that tonight is the season finale of The Carrie Diaries, I am happy with how the first season turned out. I was never a SATC girl, but I can’t get enough of young Carrie Bradshaw. At the beginning of the season I thought I was a Maggie, but now I realize that I am Carrie! And I hope next season I find I am a Larissa! So to the CW, pick up this show already because it deserves a second season. And it also deserves to be paired with a show that wasn’t days away from being cancelled. Long live The Carrie Diaries!
So while tonight is the season finale, what does show creator Amy B Harris have in mind for season two. I was recently at a screening for The Carrie Diaries and she talked about just that. She said, “The first season was the age of innocence and then lost. We started with this very innocent Carrie looking at the world as she has all of these amazing firsts; first book parties, first Madonna parties, first I love yous. All of those moments are huge. But the fun of it for season two is after those moments have happened and you have had some betrayals and some hurt along the way, who do you become? I think that is the journey that all of the kids will be going through in season 2.” The she added, “Finding fun, organic ways to keep NY as a big presence for all of them. I want to see Sebastian on the loose in Manhattan without Carrie and see what that looks like. Walt’s budding relationship with Bennett. Opening the world for a lot of the characters and what NY can mean to those kids.” So when would season 2 start up, her dream would be to start in the summer.
And here is a part all of you fans from the original will like, she is watching Sex and the City to prep her for writing episodes for next season. If and when The CW gives her the green light!
Now talking about SATC, some asked Austin Butler how he plays Sebastian knowing he is not the one she winds up with. He explained, “I heard that when Daniel Day Lewis was playing Lincoln that he went to the museum. I heard that he wouldn’t go in the room past when he was assinated because he didn’t need to know anything past that. I kind of feel that way. I had to put the blinders on and put my focus into what happening right then and the feeling of love, the feeling of heartbreak and everything that is happening right now. And not focus on what is happening in the future.” You know that makes sense. And if I had the choice I would choose him over Mr. Big! Who would be your dream man?
Yesterday I went to a screening of tonight’s The Vampire Diaries that airs at 8p on The CW and so much good game changing stuff happens that I can’t tell you about it. I am not even kidding you, I got a really long list of Do Not Reveals after the screening. So instead of revealing anything that would spoil the episode for you, I will reveal to you that you don’t want to miss it. It is shocking moment after shocking moment and just when you think you know what is going to happen next things don’t go as thought you it would. Do you need anymore reason to watch? I promise you die hard fans, you are so not going to be disappointed in tonight’s heart pumping episode.
Starting on March 8th Cult will move from Tuesdays at 9p to Fridays at the same time on The CW. The show’s former slot will be replaced with repeats of their other shows on March 5 and Beauty and the Beast will be the first one to sample that slot.
I think that pairing Cult with a Nikita is a much better fit, plus the show will have less harmful competition on its new night. If you’ve missed the first two episodes of the show within a show, you can watch them online to find out what you’ve been missing out on.
