QUICK HITS: My CW Midseason Schedule Suggestion

Here are my midseason CW thoughts!

The CW's schedule doesn't matter as much as the other networks since their linear ratings don't matter as much, but they still seem to try to put together a coherent schedule. With Batwoman and Nancy Drew both getting full seasons, their shelf space is limited.

MONDAYS
(Jan)
8:00 All American
9:00 Black Lightning

(Apr)
8:00 The 100
9:00 In the Dark
The CW Monday lineup is going okay. I would let it air out as is and replace it late in the season with The 100 and In the Dark.

TUESDAYS
8:00 The Flash
9:00 (Jan) Arrow/(Feb) DC's Legends of Tomorrow
Arrow has a short final season likely to end in January. With no obvious midseason show, I would keep DC shows together and put Legends of Tomorrow back here.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Riverdale
9:00 Katy Keene
Nancy Drew is already not working and Katy Keene is a Riverdale spinoff. Even with Riverdale a shell of what it once was, this makes the most sense.

THURSDAYS
(Jan)
8:00 Supernatural
9:00 Legacies

(Mar)
8:00 Roswell, New Mexico
9:00 Nancy Drew
Superntural also has a shorter final season so once it ends its legendary run, I would revamp Thursdays with Roswell, New Mexico and a transplanted Nancy Drew.

FRIDAYS
8:00 Charmed
9:00 Dynasty
Fridays are what they are. Charmed is doing okay. They can be left alone.

SUNDAYS
8:00 Batwoman
9:00 Supergirl
Sundays are doing decently as well, particularly Batwoman, which is one of the stronger CW shows (it's all relative of course). I'd leave this alone.
