    MuchMusic/The CW's THE L.A. COMPLEX: How far would you go?



    It's a Canadian TV show that aired earlier on Canada last January but it's going to have it's American TV debut this April 24, Tuesday 9/8c taking over Ringer's slot.

    Para siyang Melrose Place based on the trailers I've seen. However, I'm more excited to see Cassie Steele, she's the only one I recognize out of the entire cast. She's more known as that sweet little girl Manny from Degrassi: The Next Generation. And yeah, she's Filipino-Canadian.

    It looked like Melrose Place 3.0 + The Beautiful Life

    Fit for CW Programming. Grabe recently nagre-recycle ng CW na shows ha. Lugi na talaga

    2011-2012 TV season:
    L.A. Complex (from CTV/MuchMusic)

    2010 -2011 TV season:
    18 to Life (from CBC TV; they eventually removed the show off their schedule after episode 6)

    Moonlight (from CBS paired with The Vampire Diaries)

    I think the strategy is for the CW to built up its midseason and summer programming slate to help minimize the airing of repeats.

    I'm hoping the show would become the CW's equivalent to CBS/ION's Flashpoint, TeenNick's Degrassi and ABC's Rookie Blue. Kumbaga sila ang equivalent sa mga Korean soaps na ineere satin dito.

    Won't work. They can't even launch station-produced shows (when I say launch, I mean yung talagang successful. Currently, bread and butter nila ay Vampire Diaries but if you check its rating/share and viewrship, its rather low than what The WB is getting before they merged with UPN (CBS)

    Dawn Ostroff, the one who used to run UPN and The CW, mentioned several seasons ago at a TCA press tour that the audience the network is trying to attract will only be smaller by the season because majority of their viewers have a high preference to time-shift their favorite shows instead of watching them live.

    So medyo anticipated na bumababa ang viewership level nila. Some say it's because The CW is targetting to a very niche demographic kaya since last season and that they have near-absolutely zero original programming during midseason and summer to help maintain eyeballs.

    First thing: I'm happy that Dawn is off from CW now.

    Secondly, RE: timeshift - If she's referring to Live + 7 Days then she's lying, that's probably pure PR!!! We all know where CW stands, whether its live or time-shifted. Here's the latest data:

    http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...eek-27/128050/

    Why don't just abandon their target audience which is 18-34W, hindi naman nagkakalayo digits nila whether 18-34W or 18-49A and come to think of it, majority of their shows are not really skewed for women viewers, Say: Supernatural, TVD, Nikita and Smallville.

    Bottomline, I think CW's marketing push is not enough. The WB is much much better!

    Awww, na-sad ako bigla, naalala ko "Image Campaigns" (dito we call it Station IDs) nila

    Jedi-enforced PR mindtricks or not, I think they're in a really a unique position as a network. Iba ang measurement nila for the ones you mention because most of them skew male and/or older audiences. Thus why they're going on a different business model to bring revenue to the CW and indirectly make itself profitable to the WB and CBS. Medyo we're already going off-topic here but let's just say it's something that Studio 23 could have done if it wasn't for advertisers threatening to back out kung kaya we lost of a lot of the FUSE shows in the first place and decided to go jologs a year and a half ago (which I still hate them for doing so).

    Back to The LA Complex....Ang ganda lang ni Cassie. Can't believe she used to look like this:

    Talking CW's The L.A. Complex



    The L.A. Complex is a Canadian drama series which premiered on CTV and MuchMusic on January 10, 2012, but subsequent episodes only aired on MuchMusic. It also began airing in the United States on April 24, 2012 on The CW.

    The series stars Degrassi’s Cassie Steele as Abby Vargas, an aspiring actress who moves to LA with nothing but her Maple Leafs hockey bag and dreams of being a famous actress.

    "Full of new relationships, salacious temptations and make-it-or-break it decisions, the series coming-of-age dwellers grapple with life's defining moments as they deal with the unreality of the show-biz industry" -Bell Media

    "The L.A. Complex follows the lives of twenty year olds living in the same apartment complex in L.A. trying to make it as actors, dancers, producers and comedians. Relationships begin and end, the need to succeed is tested and all characters are pushed to their breaking points." -CTV

    On March 22, 2012, Bell Media ordered another 13 episodes.

    I love the first episode. Pinoy na pinoy iyung dating ng pangalan ng character ni Cassie Steele, Abbie Vargas. At Pinoy na pinoy din iyung BF niyang nasa Toronto. A good fit as a companion for 90210 unfortunately, mga 0.6 million ang nanonood ng US premiere kahapon.

    Doon palang kita mo na ang hirap makakuha ng breakthrough kung sa US mo balak magkaroon ng showbiz career. Sam Milby, please take notes.

    BTW, there's a thread already for the show.

    Pa-merge nalang natin kina Caramba at forg. Didn't generate results kasi when I used the search engine eh.

    Poor nga ang ratings based on the news articles I've seen. Well, sana they take notice of the series kasi it's good.

    The PEx search engine is never to be trusted, at least based on my experience so ang ginagawa ko lang, tina-type ko na lang sa Google iyung name ng show o ng thread plus "Pinoy Exchange" para don ko na lang hanapin kung may mga threads na wala sa first page ng subforums.

    Sa MuchMusic pa lang siya nag-aired. CW just premiered this series last Tuesday (April 24th) with a very poor ratings/share of 0.3/1.

    Though MuchMusic already ordered for another 13 episodes, I doubt if CW will keep this on their schedule given its poor ratings.

    Yup. My bad. Kakasimula pa lang pala ng US airing ng series this week.

    I hope CW gets to show the 13 episodes and really crossing my fingers that the ratings improve.

    Not really hoping for a season 2 here but just a proper closure of season 1.

    Seen episode 2 and it's equally great as the pilot. I love the story arc between Tariq and Kaldrick.

    Ang cutthroat at unforgiving pala talaga ng entertainment industry sa Hollywood/LA.
