Fall 2023 Schedule: The CW

Monday

8:00 - All American

One, lonely returning series stands up next to the first season of AMC's 61st Street, which will be followed by its second, previously unaired season in 2024.

Tuesday

8:00 - Son of a Critch
8:30 - Run the Burbs
9:00 - Children Ruin Everything

Son of a Critch, Run the Burbs, and Children Ruin Everything are Canadian imports (and Children...has already aired two seasons on The Roku Channel), while Everyone Else Burns hails from England.

Wednesday

8:00 - Sullivan's Crossing
9:00 - The Spencer Sisters

Two more Canadian dramas, but at least these have some recognizable names: Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill) and Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls) in Sullivan's Crossing; and Lea Thompson (Caroline in the City, Back to the Future) in The Spencer Sisters.

Midseason

Walker will be back, and it may or may not be joined by Gotham Knights, Superman & Lois, and/or All American: Homecoming, none of which were renewed or canceled but left undecided.

BITCH... I knew this schedule would be crazy pants, but DAMN. This is so stupid! There are two full hours of scheduled encores; a canceled show was uncanceled with no announcement (Whose Line...?); half of these shows are imported from cheaper, lesser quality Canadian companies; and all the scripted shows in development for midseason and beyond are absolutely inane (including a spin-off of The Librarians, which ended 5 years ago, and new unscripted shows from The Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger, and a cops-esque show from the creator of Jersey Shore).

I know the new company wants to make the network profitable, but my God. This is hilariously stupid.
