I will be checking out secret circle and the ringer. as well as continuing to watch gossip girl and the vampire diaries :). also, no surprise that hellcats got canceled, i could only stand to watch the first 3 episodes, and even that was torture.

The trailer for Hart of Dixie leaves me with the impression that it is not merely the South that this person is moving to, but also the 1800s.

@Maheshfunky The Vampire Diaries books are average too, at least in my opinion, but look how awesome the show is! So I think Secret Circle will be at least as awesome, in spite of the books.
I'm interested in Secret Circle and Ringer, both sound interesting.

Yay for Nikita at Maggie Q! And see! this is why i never bothered to watch Hellcats because this would happen lol. Ringer sounds ok nothing too interesting, I shall still watch it as i have to since its SMG. And Hart of Dixie sounds ok nothing interesting either, Secret Circle sounds ok but I thought the books were quite average too lol so all in all average shows that CW has picked up. But VD abd Nikita have become the heat of CW.
