The CW announce fall schedule

The CW today announced their plans for next season with their 2009 fall schedule featuring new series ‘Melrose Place’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ‘The Beautiful Life’ and ‘Parental Discretion Advised’.

The CW today revealed their plans for next season with their 2009 fall schedule.

Their focus will now shift to a more female orientated strategy much like their predecessor The WB, unlike the African-American focus of UPN which is no more after the official axing of ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ and ‘The Game’.

Next season also marks the official closure on comedy programs for the network, instead they will focus exclusively on one-hour series and scripted dramas.

As previously announced, ‘Melrose Place’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘The Beautiful Life’ were all picked up to series, in addition to ‘Parental Discretion Advised’ (formally know as ‘Light Years’) for midseason.

Like in their heyday on FOX, ‘90210′ and ‘Melrose’ re-team once again on Tuesday nights for The CW, ’America’s Next Top Model’ forms an suitable running mate for Ashton Kutcher’s model industry drama ‘The Beautiful Life’ and Thursday nights become the new night for all things scary with the double up of ‘Supernatural’ and ‘Vampire Diaries’.
