The CW changes the landscape

With the announcement of the new joint venture between Time Warner/Tribune and CBS to create the CW from the ashes of the WB and UPN, the lives of many shows suddenly look to be shorter. In no particular order, I think the 'death watch' is on for the following shows:

• Love, Inc (UPN)
  
• Living with Fran (WB)
  
• Twins (WB)
  
• Related (WB)
  
• Eve (UPN)
  
• Cuts (UPN)
  
• What I Like About You (WB)
  
• Charmed (WB)
  
• South Beach (UPN)
  

With only 13 hours of prime time programming available (from the combined 23 hours), I think we can see the following shows make the cut:

• Smallville (WB)
  
• Gilmore Girls (WB)
  
• Everwood (WB)
  
• Aquaman (WB pilot will most likely make it to air)
  
• Veronica Mars (UPN)
  
• Everybody Hates Chris (UPN)
  
• Reba (WB)
  
• Top Model (UPN)
  
• Supernatural (WB)
  
• Girlfriends (UPN)
  
• Beauty and the Geek (WB)
  
• All of Us (UPN)
  
• Smackdown (UPN)
  

Wait a minute, you're asking. What about those new midseason shows? And some of those you listed, like 'Beauty and the Geek' might only be 13 episodes -- what else will go on in its time slot? There are also a smattering of other shows I didn't mention -- 'One on One', 'Half & Half'...and then there are the other pilots in development. Exactly why this will be interesting to watch. I'm going to wait it out a few days until we start to hear more about shows that might not make the cut before I update the Watch List, but expect this merger to impact the list in a big way.
