If you were one of the millions of fans anxiously awaiting the return of Smallville or Supernatural tonight, you’re just going to have to wait a bit longer. The network that carries those shows, The CW, has decided to push back both show’s premieres, which were to take place tonight, by another week.
Now, both shows will return next Friday at their regularly scheduled times. Why is this happening? Reportedly, it is to give the network’s winter debuts of The Vampire Diaries and Nikita extra time to build an audience and ratings by showing them again this week in the time slots usually reserved for Smallville and Supernatural.
While I can understand the decision from a business perspective, it is still a rather crappy thing to do to fans eagerly awaiting the return of Smallville and Supernatural. I know The CW wants to give its newer shows as much of a chance as possible, but they also need to keep in mind that shows like Smallville, and its fans, are one of the reason the network is still in business.
Oh well, I guess we can wait one more week, right?

May 14, 2011 at 5:38 amI hate 2 see Smallville go and that is a fact the way the actors and producers the whole team worked together made it a GREAT show. I like how it wasnt entirely the same as the books every hero needs his day too. I am really gonna miss this show.. I do not watch supernatural or vampire dairies so thats a shame the one good one that got better every season is the one leave.. Congratulations to all the time u were on and for giving us heroes,hunks, strong women, family, and a great show.. Your cast was incredible and ur show was one that i hate 2 see go..

January 29, 2011 at 11:19 pmMy entire family and I sat down to watch the premier of SN. We were so disappointed, we could scream. I will never watch Nikita because of this and I am getting all of my S & SN fans to do the same…and so, on and so on. We will make Nikita fail so that the CW execs know that this is not acceptable. Just watch and see CW. “Dumb and stupid is no way to go through life,” CW.

January 29, 2011 at 10:32 pmThis is low. Supernatural & Smallville are such great shows. And the CW had the guts to do this to the fans? It’s like all of them got drunk and did the stupidest thing known to man. I mean my DVR was set up and right after a rest for the night, Vampire Diaries? Please (-_-)… Nikita is good, but already saw it Thursday. So what is up? I guess I can wait one more week but if the CW does this shit again, people really need to get on their ass and yank them out of their basements and tell them to do their jobs right. Give us our shows before they go.
