Clarifications Post #1

[cwmod]

Firstly, I didn’t realize the community was set to registered users only by default so anon commenting is now available.

Secondly, I just wanted to highlight quickly that this is an exchange for shows made by the CW. I know the CW was born out of CBS and WB (in 2006) however, it is just the CW itself that is eligible for this exchange, re-runs/syndication shows and shows that are/were solely made for CBS or the WB aren’t eligible at this time. Otherwise, it will just become a catch all exchange and while those are nice, they also work better with something to link us.

So I’m going to put up the first post now in case I’m missing anything or I’ve overlooked anything.

Everwood — seems to have aired on the WB, 2002-06.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch — seems to belong to ABC in the first instance and was distributed by CBS and then acquired by the WB in 2000-03.

Constantine — I’m aware that the character of John Constantine has crossed over into Arrowverse so I am going to allow it, however due to the fact the show itself isn’t a CW show, I would prefer to place it under the Arrowverse crossovers or the general crossovers tag.

If the nominators of the above are watching the community, I would love to hear their thoughts and if I’ve missed anything, please let me know!

Is this including shows that the CW acquired? Because they bought Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls (which are included in the tag list), but they also acquired The O.C., which is older than the CW itself. Do shows like that count? Or no?

(Sorry, clarification: the Wiki entry doesn't list the O.C., but the CW archives own it. That's the sort of thing I'm asking.)

I’ve been working from this list which has Gilmore Girls but not The OC. I think the trick is they have to buy it while it’s still being made in order to make more, otherwise it’s only buying the rights to air re-runs. Hopefully that helps.

Yeah, that's the list I checked, too. I didn't request anything to the tag set that wasn't on it, I was just curious (because I might have had a different request, but I'm fine without it). It was just in the news when the CW became the sub-company that they acquired the rights to most of the previous WB shows, as well.

Yes, I think that’s explains why I’m getting a lot of nominations for WB or CBS shows. Let me mull it over until the end of my shift and I may post a poll to see if there’s more interest in including them vs staying with the core CW shows. If I do allow them, please PM the mod account and I’ll see what you would have chosen gets added to the tag set.

Whatever you choose sounds lovely.

Regarding Constantine, I'm fine if its part of the DC Legends put into the Arrowverse crossovers tag.
