I hope Ostroff allows the show and Kripke to complete its story. I should say that’s a Supernatural 5-season “plan.” I hope Ostroff allows the show and Kripke to complete its story.

Why can't ogling gorgeous guys (like Padalecki and Ackles) be a young woman's fare? And since when is building an entire network around a single demographic considered profitable? Not even The WB did that, and they were more profitable than The CW! As a young-ish female, I watch NOTHING on The CW except Supernatural, and sometimes Smallville. So all I want is for Ostroff and the network to stick around long enough for Supernatural to complete its 5-season run. Then the netlet along with its president can fall off a cliff, for all I care.

That whole interview was about Gossip girl and 90210!Everybody's sick of the bazillion promos for these two shows while Smallville is seriously under promoted!!!! Miss Ostoff is trying to make all of the cw shows about rich and teenage bimbos to ''appeal to the young girls''.So, she neglects two of the best sci-fi shows the station is having the honnor to host ,and especially smallville which is their number 1 scripted show and gives the best ratings on CW! Congratulations miss Ostroff, you are releasing tons of promos about your favorite shows and make millions of smallville and supernatural fans disappointed over your lowsy promotion!

I also think that making a point to see who advertises during Smallville and Supernatural and taking the time to thank these sponsors is a worthwhile effort. In the end, bypassing the powers that be and going straight to the people that pay the bills for the CW seems to be the right thing to do.

I know fans are heavily invested in the romantic possibilities of the main characters and the show revolves around triangles. Has Dawn seen how pretty Tom Welling is? How can it be more skewed to women? Most I’ve on line seem to be women. We are watching. Why doesn’t Dawn care? Smallville half the time is a soap opera, has been from the start.

Like Cynthia I am completely confused by Ostroff. Moonlight sounds like just what CW needs. Our numbers, at least in terms of our commenters, certainly show that, Carebear.

Most of the fellow fans I"ve met online have all been women. We tune in for those pretty boys. I would bet that Supernatural does better with women than men.
