In what I at least consider to be a shocking development, The CW officially announced six early renewals just a few hours ago.  Supernatural will be back for season five!   

Not a surprise on the list is Supernatural, Gossip Girl, America's Top Model, and 90210.  The shockers came with the inclusion of Smallville and One Tree Hill.  While no deal has been officially announced by Warner Brothers, the assumption is that they were able to come to terms with Tom Welling for season nine of Smallville.  Also uncertain at this time, if Chad Michael Murray will be back on One Tree Hill. 

"As we continue to build The CW Network as a destination for young women, these six shows have clearly contributed to strengthening our schedule and our brand identity,” the CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said.

Shows still in limbo are Privileged, Everybody Hates Chris, and The Game, although recent reports had the latter going to BET if it wasn't renewed by The CW.  Also in limbo is Reaper, but until ratings are known when it comes back on March 3rd, nothing can be done with that one. 

Just last week all indications were that announcements for renewals weren't coming until May, so again Dawn Ostroff has us scratching our heads at her motivation.  Considering the good news, I'll let motivation slide.

Wohoooo!
Ok, now we just need to hear that Misha Collins becomes a series regular together with our Bobby and that the budget of Supernatural has been raised to a level where the crew can put at least one awesome song in every episode until the awesome SERIES FINALE 5.22 where they need to play Led Zeppelin songs!!! :D

Now the CW just needs to start promoting the show and give them money for music again and where in for the most awesome, awesome season ever.
Is it wrong that I start thinking about a"5 seasons special dvd box"? :mrgreen:

I just happened to stumble upon this on the internet when the oldest post was not even an hour old. I almost shouted out loud in the office. :shock:

I don't care why they announced the pick up this early, I'm just glad they did. Woo Hoo!
