CW splits up its Thursday night block, sending Smallville over to Friday nights.
For the last several years, Thursdays on The CW has been etched in stone:Smallville at 8 p.m., followed by Supernatural at 9 p.m. The two seemed like a match made in heaven, thanks to their science-fiction and paranormal-driven plotlines. But business is business, and the two will now go their separate ways.
The CW is breaking up the couple that's been together since March 2006, with Supernatural getting the time period in the divorce. Smallville will now air on Friday nights, and Supernatural will stay put on Thursdays, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Moving into Smallville's old digs will be the newbie The Vampire Diaries, one of the network's biggest freshman shows. And with Vampire star Ian Somerhalder leading into Supernatural's Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, it could be a teen girl's dream.
The move makes sense for The CW, as Supernatural and Smallville are now strong enough to help other shows. But Thursday is a bloodbath, with The Mentalist, Fringe, and Flash Forward moving into the night that already includesGrey's Anatomy, CSI, and The Office. Total TiVo explosion.
The CW is also expected to pair up Melrose Place with 90210 on Tuesdays, and The Beautiful Life with America's Next Top Model on Wednesdays.
