Women of the CW Network

James Joyner @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, May 19, 2006

Several of my celebrity blogosphere brethren have noted that the hybrid CW network, formed by taking the best shows on UPN and WB, has almost certainly the hottest collection of women of any channel this side of Playboy. It’s a good observation worth exploring in depth.

Egotastic’s dubs it “The Hottest Damn Network on TV” and observed,

Alexis Bledel and Kristen Bell will be heating up Tuesday nights with The Gilmore Girls followed by Veronica Mars. Wednesday nights have Tyra Banks and the girls from America’s Next Top Model followed by One Tree Hill with Hilarie Burton, Sophia Bush, and Bethany Joy Galeotti (formerly Lenz). Thursdays is staying the same as it was on The WB with Kristen Kreuk, Alison Mack and Erica Durance on Smallville, followed by Supernatural, but I don’t watch that show because there are no hot girls on that one.

Sadly, Everwood got cut at the last minute to make room for 7th Heaven to return with Beverly Mitchell, so we’ll be saying goodbye to Emily Van Camp and Sarah Drew since they didn’t have a chance to go out for pilot season. Charmed also ended this year, so no more Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, or Holly Marie Combs.

To illustrate his point, he has assembled 60 photos of these lovelies for your viewing pleasure.

Pink’s Trent is less effusive, noting only that, “The plan for the network is to take the hottest shows from UPN and the hottest shows from The WB and create a new network of the hottest shows. To me, The CW strikes me as The WB 2.0.”

CPG has its own gallery of CW hotties.

The CW is a really dumb name for a new network, but you can’t go wrong with loading your schedule with hot chicks. Damn these guys are smart! Some of the babes at the CW’s Upfront part includes “Veronica Mars” herself, Kristen Bell, “One Tree Hill’s” Sophia Bush, “Seventh Heaven”-ly body Beverly Mitchell, one-half of “The Gilmore Girls” Alexis Bledel, “Smallville’s” resident hotties Erica Durance, Kristin Kreuk, Allison Mack, and of course, America’s top model herself Tyra Banks, huge forehead and all.

We’ll see how the network fares. But I like their strategic vision.

Here are some photos:
