"Upon closer inspection, it's becoming increasingly clear that The CW is largely doing the same thing year after year," says Kaitlin Thomas, pointing out that The CW cancels few series each year, which results in the addition of few series. She adds: "If The CW wants to continue to have the reputation it's rightfully earned after Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and iZombie sign off next year, if it wants to continue to offer programming that is unconventional, yet still thrilling and heartfelt, it has to be more than the network it seems to be becoming, one that is comfortable resting on its laurels. Opening up the schedule is certainly a good start, but filling it with programming that viewers can't find anywhere else is key. It's time for The CW to once again take the risks that other networks won't. Otherwise, Supernatural won't be the only series outliving us all."
