After trying to resuscitate the "Melrose Place" franchise to no avail earlier this fall (set for cancellation after its 19-episode run), the CW needs to know that they only missed the mark in one area. Nobody who'd watch the CW cares about the awkward love triangles and bedroom secrets of the show's characters... unless they have some sort of superpowers! So the only logical thing now is to pick up a show that fits better with the mold they know will work. "Gossip Girl" is a fluke-- but the ninth season of "Smallville", fifth of "Supernatural", and shameless bandwagon-fantasy-romance newcomer "Vampire Diaries" are all locks for a reason.
So in the search process, the CW needs to consider adding another quality program about a group of attractive people with supernatural ability, but who are also in high school, and consequently, whose lives are monopolized by sexual tension and teen angst.
This Saturday's SNL Digital Short featuring Taylor Swift (yes! The real-life flame of Twilight's werewolf) parodies what should actually be something that CW execs could consider sinking their teeth into...
Happy Halloween.
