9:00-10:00 PM SUPERNATURAL (New Night)
Just like CBS, The CW changed up its schedule and I am not happy about it. I think it is BS that they moved Supernatural, which has consistently done good for them, and moved it to the Friday death slot. Case in point Smallville will be ending its run next season. I don’t know why I am complaining to much about their schedule because of the moves, I am going to have to give up a lot of their programming because it is clashing with other shows I am already DVRing. I am sure I am not the only who will be eliminating shows from their viewing habits because of the moves. I just don’t get why both CBS and The CW changed up their lineups so much because I really believe if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.
