Considering its the only New CW show from last season to Survive he’s not lying

To live. On other days Jane The Virgin would be toast. On Fridays it has a chance to survive.

I think it probably has more to do with the fact that Jane has a small established fanbase that they know is unlikely to grow so they might as well program it on their least competitive night with their other critically beloved but underrated show.

Because CBS forces them to renew ir so might as well minimize the damage it causes.

exactly … it doesn’t make a whole lotta difference for me — i’m old for the channel’s demo and record regardless but friday is always considered one step closer to the grave and I thought Jane was a successful show for the network? Regardless, I’ll continue watching both Jane and Crazy Ex.

It’s successful critically and gave the network its first major award but it’s not successful in the ratings, even behind one of their biggest hits (Supergirl) so I think they probably want to free up that timeslot for a new show that could benefit from that lead-in. Look on the bright side, at least it’s not being held for midseason. Plus, Crazy Ex was moved to Friday last year and it was still renewed so there’s no reason Jane can’t continue for a few more years.

Why would Riverdale lead off anything as if it’s a hit? Dynasty is Toast. Mind boggling CW. And I’m so used to my Arrow Wednesdays. That’ll take some adjusting.

Riverdale’s finale was only a tenth off Supergirl this week in the demo. The CWs whole slate is in the ratings toilet.

Moving Arrow a day away from the other DCTV shows is gonna be weird for the four-way crossover. This year was kinda perfect with one per day. Weird move. I can’t imagine ratings will be good against TGIT either.

I thought the same thing. They must be cutting back on crossovers next season?

A 4 Way crossover is already planned. I think its more that Legends really benefitted from being post-Flash. Flash acted as a lead in from one super-show to the other. And it will do the same for Black Lightning mid season

Listen I like riverdale but I don’t like them moving arrow.

I don’t like it one bit. When the aforementioned DC Cross Over happens there will be a big gap (an entire day) between the first 3 and Arrow. Why mess with a good thing, Mons, Tues & Wed should have stayed as is.

Why not put Dynasty (probably wont watch) with supernatural (don’t watch that either) or Dynasty with Jane (similar soap opera vibe)

Dynasty makes sense with Riverdale, they’re both nostalgic throwback soaps.

I’m surprised CW is saving Black Lighting for midseason, thought it will air in the Fall. They should have kept Arrow on Wednesdays. I thought Dynasty would likely have gotten the Monday or Thursday slot. I hope moving Jane the Virgin to Fridays doesn’t mean the end of the show. When are they ever going to end Supernatural? I’m surprised this show has stayed this long.

Supernatural will go on as long as the actors continue to enjoy it and the ratings hold. It still takes in a huge audience for CW and I know it’s been mentioned they would like to hit 300 episodes which would take into Season 14. Pretty much CE isn’t going to end it until the actors are done.

I’m… not sure Valor will be a good match with Supergirl. I’m looking forward to Valor (mainly due to Matt Barr) but I hope this scheduling doesn’t sink it.

Jane on Fridays :/ I hope that doesn’t mean it’s a final season, though that’s likely.

i think that Arrow will get back to its time slot fast as soon as dynasty bombs and riverdale will get pushed down.

I don;t think the Friday=graveyard adage applies to The CW. There are only so many time slots. Everything that has one is worthy, imo. It matters not to me that Riverdale moves to Wednesday. I watch it on Netflix on Fridays anyway. (In fact, in this PVR world, I rarely watch anything in its regular time slot anymore).

So true!! Fridays is no longer considered the place where shows go to die. Most networks program for Fridays, and some of those shows stay on the air for years i.e. Hawaii 5O, Bluebloods, Grimm, heck even Supernatural aired on Fridays years ago, and it’s still alive and kicking.

Friday nights are generally referred to as the “Kiss of Death” night for a TV show! I think the CW is really off as to what people want to watch and I predict Dynasty will go away as fast as the Dallas reboot did.

Like others have said, moving Arrow makes no sense giving the crossover event that they’ll be doing in the Fall again.

Why move Arrow to Thursdays?? Ugh. That gap is going to be bad news for the crossover shows next season.

Anything not listed (The 100, The Originals, iZombie, LoT) is midseason.

Mon-El was called Valor in the comics for awhile… i wonder if the CW is trolling the supergirl fans by putting the shows together.

I don’t like that they moved arrow! I still think the Dynasty reboot will fail.

Wow. Arrow has always been on Wednesdays! I can’t believe they moved it. Ratings are gonna drop even more going up against This is Us!

Didn’t see this coming, arrow and riverdale swich. Crazy at 8 and jane at 9.. woow no black lightning and life sentence

Doesn’t seem good for arrow against this is us :(

Jane the Virgin lost me when they killed off Michael. Can’t say I’m sorry it’s moving to Fridays. Bye Jane Bye!!

I hope legends gets a full season, and izombke in modseason to be slot on friday

I’m glad they’re moving Arrow. Means I can dvr Goldbergs again.
