Better late than never, The CW has, at last, finalized its midseason plans.
Monday
8:00 - The Originals
9:00 - Jane the Virgin
No changes to the Monday night schedule, which hasn't exactly been lighting up the ratings, but critical darling Jane the Virgin will soon be getting some exposure after its featured on the Golden Globes (with many even predicting leading lady Gina Rodriguez to win) this weekend.
Tuesday
8:00 - The Flash
9:00 - Supernatural
9:00 - iZombie (NEW - beginning March 17)
The newest DC comics adaptation, iZombie, will be following the hit DC comics adaptation The Flash. Will having three comic book shows on the air on back-to-back nights be a windfall or a detriment for The CW? We'll find out in March.
Wednesday
8:00 - Arrow
9:00 - The 100
9:00 - Supernatural (beginning March 18)
After The 100 wraps its second season on March 11, Supernatural, the CW's ultimate utility players, transfers over to Wednesdays.
Thursday
8:00 - The Vampire Diaries
9:00 - Reign
Despite being one of the lowest-rated dramas on the network currently, Reign stays put on Thursdays.
Friday
8:00 - Hart of Dixie
8:00 - Cedric's Barber Battle (beginning April 10)
8:30 - Whose Line Is It Anyway? (beginning April 10)
9:00 - Repeats through April 3
9:30 - Masters of Illusion
9:00 - The Messengers (NEW - beginning April 10)
I was holding out hope that The Messengers would be good, but apparently not: it gets a terrible, throwaway timeslot and debuts very late in the season so that nearly half its episode will air in the summer. It's all but dead already. And the network's newest reality series, Cedric's Barber Battle, could not sound worse: "Each week, the show will visit different barbershops in cities, including Los Angeles, Queens, Harlem and Austin, where the best barbers will go head-to-head in a hilariously unfiltered, no-holds-barred arena. Creating hair sculptures that feature elaborate designs ranging from images of a person’s face to grand cityscapes, the barbers will use nothing more than their clippers and a few coloring tools to create intricate works of art that are both imaginative and location-centric." No, thank you.
This leaves only Beauty and the Beast, returning for its third season, without an airdate, which will likely be sometime this summer as it was last year (along with the new seasons of Masters of Illusion and Penn & Teller: Fool Us).
