Debunked: Marc Berman says "Reaper" will replace "Supernatural" in March

[fangirl_says]

The usually-dependable Marc Berman: "benchwarmer drama Reaper will open season two in place of Supernatural on Thursday in March. Supernatural is, however, expected back in 2009-10."

I'm trying to get more information on what this means (SPN will wrap season 4 in March? Or will this mean a hiatus in March and the season ends later?).

Edit: The also-usually-dependable James Hibbard at The Hollywood Reporter says Reaper is headed for Tuesdays after 90210, replacing Priviledged.

Son of Edit: Michael Ausiello, also usually dependable, seconds Reaper replacing Priviledged, not Supernatural.

Edit 3-D: Supernatural publicist Suzanne Gomez confirms Reaper will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

"The CW's midseason plans are still coming together, but here's a definite bright spot: Reaper's second season is scheduled to premiere March 17 at 9 p.m. after 90210."

Huh. Okay, so THW and Ausiello say Tuesday, and Berman says Thursday. Color me confused, 'cause all three are usually dependable!

Okay..... no......

Will not watch Reaper. :(

That's wrong. Reaper will take the place of Privileged on Tuesday nights, starting March 17th. The CW originally had been going to replace repeats of Smallville with Reaper, but it's been doing so well on Thursday they changed their strategy.

Do you have a link to that information? I'd like to update my post with that.

[grand-sophy.livejournal.com]

Sure thing: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/12/scoop-reaper-re.html.

Maybe you could correct the Marc Berman story too? If this isn't fixed fast I can just see fans reacting in horror and outrage, and being once again classified as crazy fanatics.

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

Well, no, I can't correct the Marc Berman story because that's his story, but I did post asking him to elaborate, and I'm checking with the Supernatural publicist as well.

[grand-sophy.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I didn't phrase that well. That's what I meant.

[fangirlsays.livejournal.com]

No probs. :)

Yup, I updated the post.

Berman's an idiot! The CW is F**ked up, but even they wouldn't replace a drama gaining in viewers with one that is only still airin because they have nothing to replace it with.

Totally non-Supernatural, I watched Priviledged. It was HORRIBLE! Unless a couple of the actresses took acting lessons, I truthfully can't see why it's getting such "sweet" reviews.

Marc Berman should not scare us like that...

[muses-circle.livejournal.com]

Marc Berman needs to stop giving us a heart attack like that. Sheesh.

Jeezo freaking Pete! LOL, I'm SO glad I found this post only after you made the edits! My poor heart just stalled and fell over kerflumpt. :-p

Sheeeesh ..... *shakes head*
