The CW Source: Reasons to be Thankful

As we prepare for the annual Festival of Starch and tryptophan-induced food coma that is Thanksgiving, we've been pondering the things we're thankful for this season on the CW. Here's what's running through our heads as we count our blessings this year:

Gossip Girl

Chuck Bass, always and forever.
Jenny Humphrey finally washed off the Heavy Eye Liner of Rebellion. We like our fresh-faced Little J!
Nate is starting to get interesting! We can't say we agree with his method of choosing a girlfriend (like Jackie says, he apparently dates anyone who's standing in front of him at that moment), but we're liking the Nate/Jenny/Vanessa dynamic.

One Tree Hill

The Scott Family -- Nathan, Haley and Jamie. It's great to see such a loving young family on TV!
The folks on One Tree Hill are still able to surprise us, either by going for a completely cheeserific theme episode, or by turning up the dial on the drama, like in the most recent episode.
Nanny Carrie is seriously, honestly, not-coming-back dead. We don't mind Ghost Q, but we better never see Nanny Carry haunting anyone!

90210

Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty are back on TV -- and back in our favorite zip code -- in one of the buzziest shows of the new season.
Dixon and Silver -- they're such a sweet, grounded, drama-free couple!

Privileged

Megan and Will finally hooked up -- and it was just as adorable as we expected!
Sage -- she's such a fabulous mean-girl character, but we can still see the heart hidden behind her sometimes witchy actions.
Charlie and Megan are still friends despite everything that's happened.

America's Next Top Model

Tyra has maintained a steady-- and amusing -- level of crazy over the last season.
Mr. J actually got to participate in the judging for once! We love his perspective on the models.

Stylista

Megan. Let's face it, without this little shrew to hate week after week, the show wouldn't pack quite the same punch. Same goes for Kate.
Johanna's shoulders. This fashion plate rocks out the shoulders in every high-neck outfit and we just love clavicles.
The Elle fashion closet. Give us another peek, please!
Joe Zee. Elle's creative director is way more comfortable on camera than the stoic Anne. We'd work for him any day.

Smallville

That lovely kiss Davis planted on Chloe. We love Jimmy, but we're game for another love triangle to shake things up.
The wedding. Sure, it ended in blood and crushed limbs, but for a half an hour we had a picture-perfect bride, a stunning best man and we even felt a little tugging at our heartstrings when Lois thought Clark was professing his love instead of just reading Jimmy's vows out loud.
Davis shirtless. We don't care if he's a monster, just keep him half-dressed!

Supernatural

Kripke continues to push the envelope. We never would have imagined he'd be able to pull off adding angels to the mix, but it's turned out to be an amazing addition.
Speaking of angels... Misha Collins, who just adds to both the acting prowess AND the hotness quotient on the show!
The boys -- no matter what happens, Jensen and Jared will ALWAYS keep us coming back. They're great actors, and even better human beings!

And more!

Reaper will be returning this winter -- we've missed Sam, Sock and Satan!
You! We love how passionate you are about your shows -- and that you comment on our posts, our podcasts, and our videos. We wouldn't be able to do that without you!
A bit of time off! Yes, we know you want season-two OTH and Supernatural podcasts over the break, but we're going to take the opportunity to rest our vocal chords and see our families in different parts of the country. We'll still be posting, but we won't be podcasting until we're all in the same state at the same time again. Sorry -- but we're glad you guys care enough to ask for more!

What about you? What are you thankful for when you look back on the CW so far this season? Talk about it in the comments!

Comments

The episode BRIDE was not bad but not very good because there are a lot of errors.
Please help me to understand this:
1/ Lana become so expert in martial art what makes her beat a super hero (green arrow)!
2/ everybody felt the vibration and heard the strange noise but Clark was like every body else waiting to see what was going to happen! (no super speed, no ultra vision, no proactively…..)
3/ Clark was immobilized by the kryptonite less than 20sec till he got help from Lana, after that Oliver came and said that was too late. The point is in 20 sec Doomsday took Chloe and vanished. He was able to fly or he has a super speed?
And Clark didn’t react; he could try to make a super speed search outside the barn not to just easily accept the fact that Chloe was gone!
4/ in the end of the episode they show somebody trying to make the viewers believe that is LEX, first of all that wasn’t LEX body as the shoulders are larger than LEX s one, second MICHAEL R is definitely out of smallville.

About Lana: I m Lana fan and she is not going to continue on smallville like Michael R as they have other projects however the writers make her very annoying especially with her ninja stuff and that she left Clark to not hold him back, so what is the benefit of that if Clark will have an other girlfriend?
I can’t buy the idea that she is committed to protect Clark. I didn’t know that superman need to be protected by ninja!?
If you disagree please just help me to understand
thankx

I am always THANKFUL for ONE TREE HILL because I am their # 1 fan. I am also THANKFUL for those oh so yummy Winchester Boys.

I was thankful for Smallville for having Laura Vandervoort back. I hope there will be more episodes she'll be in, but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Hey, tigger and/or plenty -- the problem is the publicists and network really, really prefer it if we put the videos up when it's going to directly promote the show -- you know, when the show is going to be airing in the near future. and if we want to keep getting access to sets, we have to keep the network and publicists happy. But I understand your frustration... we want you to see those interviews, too!

Too bad we can't be thankful for those Reaper interviews you promised nearly 3 months ago but still haven't put up.
