Question: In response to the theory that Dawn Ostroff will favor UPN shows on the CW network, I feel this is an outrageous suggestion. It is more sensible to think how Ostroff will be anticipating getting control over more high-rated and critically acclaimed series that WB has. It is clear that she enjoys having critical buzz since she has shown much faith in series like Veronica Mars, Everybody Hates Chris and even last season's Kevin Hill. This certainly gives Everwood an advantage over something like Half & Half.
Answer: Good point. But again, we really don't know yet what kind of a marketing/brand strategy CW is aiming for — we'll see it for real at the May upfront. I don't see CW turning away entirely from sitcoms skewed toward the African-American audience, but there also needs to be room for the traditional family-drama format that WB has excelled at for years.
