I fail to see the logic

I really don't get why Smallville premieres tonight, but instead of premiering Supernatural The CW is re-airing Reaper instead. It does not make a whit of sense to me. Are they trying to garner more people for Reaper? Since the show looks absolutely abysmal, and probably is, that'll just mean more people will tune out after Smallville next week when Supernatural premieres.

I suppose it's more likely that they don't want to compete with the GA/CSI premieres*.

Sometimes it's hard not to think there's a conspiracy to kill all shows with potential, though. For Supernatural, first there was the addition of T&A (I'll say again that I do not oppose growing the universe a bit, just that it's extremely transparent that the growth just happens to include two hot young white girls), general lack of effective marketing and now this weird scheduling tactic.

*IMNSHO, the way to avoid this competition is to move Supernatural to a better time slot and date. Also, I feel horrible as a woman hoping the CSI promos hinting at a certain character's death are not misleading (like they probably are). Because said certain character should have been kick ass and smart and cool and ended up primarily being the freakin' Love Interest in a romance that is not very compelling to watch. Seriously, I threw up a little in my mouth at seeing the couple in the same bed for a millisecond...and they were above covers and fully clothed.

A good rule of thumb is that huggers should consider not hugging a woman if they also wouldn't hug a man, Post said. Shaking hands will be perfectly acceptable, he said.

Or, you know, rub her shoulders or give her a peck on the cheek.
