As expected, 'Melrose Place' to be paired with '90210'

The CW will go with the flow this fall, unveiling a lineup that's both more cohesive and downsized from past years.
"In just three years, The CW has become TV to talk about, with culturally current, quality programming," said CW Entertainment prexy Dawn Ostroff. "Next fall, we will have great flow from Monday through Friday."

The weblet confirmed the schedule that was making the rounds yesterday, including the Tuesday night "90210" - "Melrose Place" pairing that is straight outta the Bush administration era - the first one, that is.

The original "Melrose," which was a spinoff of "Beverly Hills, 90210," similarly bowed behind that drama when it launched in 1992 on Fox.

The CW will also go with an all-spooky Thursday, bowing new drama "Vampire Diaries" at 8 p.m., in the slot currently occupied by "Smallville," and pairing it with vet drama "Supernatural."
That means "Smallville," which is likely entering its final season, will move to Fridays at 8 p.m.

On Wednesdays, as expected, the CW is putting together a fashion-themed night, with "America's Next Top Model" leading into the new Ashton Kutcher-produced drama "The Beautiful Life," which centers on the world of models in New York.

The only night staying pat is Monday, where "Gossip Girl" and "One Tree Hill" continue.

Ending the week is a "Top Model" repeat, which airs behind "Smallville" on Fridays at 9 p.m.

For midseason, the CW has ordered the drama "Parental Discretion Advised" (formerly known as "Light Years"), a drama from Liz Tigelaar about a girl who finds her biological parents.

Meanwhile, as previously announced, the CW is dropping its Sunday lineup next fall - which takes away three hours out of its primetime, as well as its two-hour Sunday night "Easy View" sked.

The Dub still continues with its two-hour weekday "The CW Daytime" schedule, which is handled by Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution. The block will now consist of a repeat episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" at 3 p.m. (replacing "Judge Jeanine Pirro"), followed by a first-run "Tyra Banks" at 4 p.m. (in place of comedy repeats).

That means, adding up both daytime and primetime, the CW is in the Tyra Banks business in a big way, airing 12 hours a week from the one-time supermodel.

That does sound interesting; otherwise it seems they should rename it to the "Tyra Network!"
