Breaking News: Smackdown Is Leaving The CW
We have some surprising Smackdown news this morning! In a statement, the network announced that Smackdown is ending its run on The CW after the 2007-2008 season. Here's the scoop from The CW:
After a successful decade of “Smackdown” on both UPN and The CW, The CW and World Wrestling Entertainment have agreed to conclude our partnership. We are grateful to Linda and Vince McMahon and their entire organization for providing great entertainment to our viewers for so many years. “WWE Smackdown” will continue to air on The CW until the conclusion of the 2007-08 broadcast season.
It doesn't sound like Smackdown is ending entirely, just that it won't air on The CW anymore. But why!? The show consistently delivered good ratings on Friday nights -- usually a death slot for networks. Does The CW have something else up its sleeve for Fridays, did Smackdown want out, or is it something else entirely? We can only guess (TVJab speculates it could end up on USA, and Eric's Pro Wrestling Blog thinks this could put Smackdown in a new position of power).
We want to hear what you think. Is this a good move on the part of The CW and Smackdown, or were you a fan of their partnership? Would you follow Smackdown to another network? Or are you happy that The CW won't be airing Smackdown next season so it frees up more space for new dramas or reality shows? Tell us your thoughts in the comments!
Comments
for you guys who think that smackdown is going to cable are crazy. it is just going back where it came from. it is just going back to upn or my neetwork tv. that is how it should be. cw should be really thankful for having smackdown for 2 years.

this is a supergreat show-soap opera-simi fake wrestling, i will miss it a lot, this is the ONLY show i watch on ch5 ktla,you will loose me as a viewer,51 year old male in upperlevel management,keep the show where its at ,its perfect!!!!
Posted by: jeff | August 14, 2008 5:27 PM
This is bad news for CW and people that don't have cable. The WWE has brought good ratings to CW on Friday night, and now CW will have nothing. Of course the thousands (or millions) of fans with cable will just tune in to whereever Smackdown will be showing next. It sucks for those without cable though, as Smackdown is geared towards that demographic.
Posted by: S. Montgomery | August 8, 2008 12:28 PM
Its a bad move because i dont have cable so i wont be able to watch smackdown anymore thats the only thing i watched on tvand getting cable is hard because the economy an high gas prices it makes me upset.

I LOVE SMACKDOWN!!!!!! I WATCH SMACKDOWN,RAW AND THE ECW EVERY WEEK.I DO NOT WANT SMACKDOWN OFF THE AIR HOWEVER I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH CW11 BUT IT WONT B THE SAME WO SMACKDOWN!!!! ......AT LEAST BATISTA SWITCHED TO RAW!!!
Posted by: Melissa Ray | August 4, 2008 6:25 PM
Here comes some crappy reality tv show on fridays.........lucky you still have supernatural or else it's bye bye CW11.........

I have been a very loyal patron of the whole WWF/WWE enterprise for many years. I was excited to see that Smakdown was headed to the CW after the UPN & CW merger. Then, after the network merger, moving from Thursday to Friday. I BELIEVE, that the CW & WWE are making a big mistake. With new shows appearing on all networks on Friday nights, the CW will fall in ratings on Fridays. Therefore, I enjoyed having Smackdown on the CW, and I will continue to be a loyal fan to both the CW & WWE.
Thanks for a decade of Entertainment,
Sky T.

Posted by: mike | July 18, 2008 12:33 PM
why? would they want to change it that`s so stupid
Posted by: nancy colon | July 14, 2008 8:33 AM
OMG! Smackdown is the only thing i watch with the exceptions of movies on tbs and other channels that show movies. I don't have cable so i can't watch USA or any other wrestling channels! PLZ! KEEP SMACKDOWN!!!!
Posted by: conan doyle | July 11, 2008 8:13 PM
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I don't have Cable. I never will have Cable. CW is completely depriving me of my weekly ritual of watching half naked men wrestle while I lift weights.
Posted by: Melissa | July 11, 2008 8:12 PM
are CW 4 real? wtf y man y? smackdown is the only show i watch on the CW that and family guy but y man smackdown? smackdown is my life man y? please work sumthing out quick please!!!
Posted by: bigmike | July 11, 2008 6:07 AM
What a horrible decision by the CW network. How and why would they even think of doing this. they have had great ratings for a Friday night prime time spot!! SHAME ON YOU CW!!! WWE FORVER I suggest you re think this decision!!!
Posted by: Erick | July 9, 2008 5:39 PM
I am pretty excited that Smackdown is leaving. I have satelitte and I can't get the CW and I hate that But wherever they I go sorry...
Posted by: Jessica Bailey | July 5, 2008 6:58 PM
Nope it is moving to "My Network TV" (Channel 9 on basic cable or no cable at all) It is basically going back to its original channel. Still stucks because I'll be pissed if they put it on a Tuesday or something (It will interfere with my other shows =o)
Posted by: Alexa | July 4, 2008 3:31 PM
I hate this.Why is Smackdown leaving the CW.I hear Smackdown is moving to channel 9.
Posted by: Suyash | July 3, 2008 2:12 PM
this sucks i always usedtowatch friday night smackdown on friday and thursdays
i also argued with my sisters just so i could watch it
Posted by: lala | June 28, 2008 10:57 AM
why would they do that?!!!
I only have basic cable so I don't want it to move to USA.
If it moves to another basic cable station then ill be fine with that but taking it of the CW makes no sense at all.
Posted by: chris perez | June 28, 2008 9:45 AM
we will watch smackdown on whatever channels its on !!!!!!! CW's loss. With all of the live events sold out this just show how the CW gets rid of winners, with good ratings,eg. Buffy, Angel, Charmed and now Smackdown....Jeff Hardy rules...
Posted by: soybean | June 27, 2008 7:06 PM
i always watched smackdown even when it used to be on thursdays and when they put on fridays. who eveer is in charge or taking smackdown off the cw network needs to leave it alone cause i dont even watch mytv 20. i watch cw 50 and thats where smackdown needs to stay even if it has been on tv for a long time and so what if it has been on the cw network for 2007 and 2008, i would rather see smackdown on cw 50 than any other televison station!
Posted by: Aaron Ellsworth | June 23, 2008 3:38 PM
I am so sick of Vicky and Edge......lose Vicky and maybe some people will follow WWE to new station...NO MORE REALTY CRAP PLEASEEEEEEEE
Posted by: jim | June 22, 2008 3:38 PM
I REALLY DON'T CARE IF SMACKDOWN CHANGES STATIONS WITH VICKY AND EDGE RUNNING THINGS IT CAN'T GET MUCH WORSE ON A DIFFEREN STATION, IF THE IDIOTS AT THE WWE REALLY WANT IMPROVE THINGS GET RID OF VICKY AND EDGE I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE GETTING SICK OF THEM.
Posted by: HEIDI ELDRED | June 20, 2008 7:51 PM
y i like smackdown live it along
Posted by: captenbob86 | June 20, 2008 6:23 PM
oooo wow that mess up soem people don;t have cable and you could lose rating cause of that and money i think it a bad idea realyl bad
Posted by: andy | June 19, 2008 10:33 PM
PLEASE DONT CHANGE THE WWE SMACKDOWN TO ANOTHER CHANNEL BECAUSE WWE FANS LOVE THAT DANM SHOW
Posted by: christian | June 17, 2008 10:36 PM
i wish you could leave smackdown on cw but if if it goes we go . wwe should have better story lines edge so sorry on the show .
Posted by: dennis and garrett | June 17, 2008 7:32 PM
Eh, Smackdown will do fine wherever it goes. I'm personally pretty excited... I don't get the CW, so I haven't been able to see the show for a while now, and I miss Taker and Edge. Plus, I hear Smackdown's got a pretty good midcard, which is something that Raw falters at, with so many former world champions on the scene.
With the draft coming up, it's possible that some of my favorites may be leaving Raw for Smackdown (particularly Michaels or Jericho), so it's comforting to know that it'll soon be on a network I actually have access to. :)
Posted by: ali | June 17, 2008 10:21 AM
please dont change wwe smack down to a new channel because i would not be able to watch my favorite supperstar the animal batista. but please dont move smack down please. and im the biggest fan of the wwe and the animal batista. please tell the chair man vince kenedy mcmahon to let smackdown stay in the cw
Posted by: christian | June 16, 2008 8:35 PM
i have been watching smackdown for years and i have to tell you the vickie and edge thing is getting to disgusting for me all that woman cares for is edge an chavo if you do switch it take her off and put a new general manager on. that is what i think yall should do.Smackdown would be awhole lot better if you took vickie off. maybe you will get more viewers. and also bring the undertaker and rey mysterio back. I thought wrestling was a sport not a soap opera if i wanted to watch a soap opera then i could watch those during the day time.if you dont take vickie off then you are going to lose a lot of fans.
Posted by: branden | June 13, 2008 2:46 PM
smackdown is cool and it has the best superstares dam cw is gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if they only but smack down in the USA channel now we will watch it there and we be happy or they but the tow shows togerther and it will have to be 4 good hours of wresling yeah then the USA chanel will so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! smackdown superstars with raw superstars mabey they have batile roaly and it will be awsome and will be so happy but cw is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GAY GAY GAY!!!!!!!!!! THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH WWE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OMG SMACKDOWN IS BETTER THAN THE CW IMEAN WHY DO THEY HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF ITS AGREAT SHOW LAST THIHG CW IS A BITCH AND GAY STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WWE IS COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL SUCK It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: wwe | June 8, 2008 2:25 PM
Well its like any other tv show I like it changes nights, then changes stations and then its gone into thin air. No matter what any of us say its going to happen and I guess that means for those of us that cant get that station we wont know whats going on on smackdown,,,,,then again the whole Vickie and Edge thing is going to ruin the show anyway!
Long Live the Undertaker!
Posted by: Mike Hitman McCall | June 7, 2008 3:17 AM
you guys are total morons i hate the cw wtf
you just lost millions of viewers ok
Posted by: jamal | June 6, 2008 11:35 PM
More better because Edge's fiancee is ruining SmackDown. But WWE should get rid of Vickie Guerrero
Posted by: Luis | June 6, 2008 3:21 PM
No, not a good idea to not have Smackdown on the cw11 no more cuz I might not have the channel it switches to.
Posted by: Robie Oehmichen | June 4, 2008 12:36 AM
I REALLY WOULD'NT CARE IF THEY SWITCHED SMACKDOWN I'VE BEEN WATCHING SMACKDOWN FOR YEARS, I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF SWITCHING STATIONS AS LONG AS IT'S ONE I GET.

Filed under: Smackdown
In case you haven’t heard, Smackdown is moving from The CW to MyNetworkTV. We’ve now learned the official debut on Smackdown on its new channel: look for it on MyNetworkTV starting October 3.
The show will receive a special kick-off with a unique extravaganza: For the first time ever, WrestleMania will be televised, courtesy of MyNetworkTV:
The network will be featuring highlights from the event, including the contest between Floyd Mayweather and The Big Show, on Thursday, October 2.
Posted by: mike | May 20, 2008 11:52 AM
i am shocked. i think this is so retarted. i would follow them were they would change to. i watch it every friday. Smackdown is the best thing on this network without it the ratings will go down.

I've grown up watching Smackdown, I love the show. The drama, the intensity, the family gatherings on Friday nights... are you going to take this away from me wwe? If you are, then it will be a huge slap in one of Batista's biggest fans's face. Stay on CW. It's a network of intelligence and success, stay in my home...

Posted by: Lord Dead Man | April 18, 2008 7:55 PM
Why would they remove smackdown from the CW the ratings were good. It was good for those people w/o cable/satellite television. All them superstars cannot go back to RAW with a 2 hour spot. I hope they don't use that time for more reality shows because I will not watch.
Posted by: Juju | April 18, 2008 7:10 PM
this network sucks anyway...the only reason i watch it is...well, smackdown...after smackdown the only reason i'm keeping this channel is because it's local so it's free.
Posted by: Otoosan | April 18, 2008 6:38 PM
What the hell am I just reading things or is it real that smackdown is going off.That Means America Next Damn Model,3 and a 1/4 men,Hugeville,Supernature,ONE TREE Cliff,Everybody Hates mr.charasis,oh and Everybody Hates Raymond.Will just be on the CW.I don't really watch CW11.I Watch cw 28 i do not have cable.You all know Vince Kondyed Mckamaton IDEAS.What No Smackdown I wont even bother talking about CW. Not even click 28 on the remote control.Look Guys this is not a good idea.Like everybody says No WWE Entertainment show Friday Night Smackdown=No CW.Dont take offfff smackdown I wait for it for it every friday I never and will never miss it.Except when you hell will take it off.yOU CANT DO THIS TO US.When I saw that news I almost had a heart attack
Posted by: Mario Halim | April 15, 2008 4:10 PM
No freakin' way man! I've been watching Smackdown since I don't know how long. And when it came to the CW...I thought...cool...now I can watch the WWE and my Yanks at the same time. DON'T TAKE AWAY SMACDOWN!! DON"T YOU DARE!!!!
Posted by: Ray McGlyn | April 14, 2008 6:48 PM
Booooooooooo I look forward to smackdown every friday why why why you cannot take smackdown away from the fans like me
Posted by: Gary | April 12, 2008 3:57 PM
I think SmackDown should stay on the CW11.I feel it stands out of all theother shows.In my opion I think its fun watching it on the CW11.When I did not have cable I couldnt watch RAW or ECW.But SmackDown was on channel 11 so you dont really need that much cable to watch SmackDown on the CW11.
Posted by: Jose | April 9, 2008 6:15 PM
Oh well Smackdown sux anyway they outta do away with it, and i never watch it RAW is the best
Posted by: Clint | April 6, 2008 10:00 PM

Omg....you guys cannot take off smackdown....I don't have cable at home...what am I going to watch on fridays now...this sucks...why do these things happen like this. When everything is starting to be greater than great...ugh....Fridays are the only days I can escape from all those repeats of gossip girl, girlicious, and all those other damn shows that you guys keep repeating....Please don't stop the partnership wit wrestling, its the only thing that makes my weekend great.
Posted by: ariela F. | April 4, 2008 7:42 AM
I really don't care about what network it shows on as long as I get to watch it. But if they show it on a network that I don't have I will be upset. So they better make the move worth it.

Posted by: lucia | March 20, 2008 10:31 PM
i think this is really dumb. smackdown is the best show the cw has, and if they remove it, it's going to be pointless & boring. listen to your public dudes.
no smackdown means i wont bother to turn to channel 50.
Posted by: romeo baby | March 20, 2008 5:25 PM
ARE YOU SERIOUS ??????????
Nah dont this to the FANS BECAUSE:
no smackdown = no cw11
Posted by: Cw & WWE fan | March 19, 2008 9:58 PM
I didn't watch smackdown..... until CW put it Fridays. Respect to everyone and to the CW, i do watch most CW shows like supernatural, Simpsons, Reba, Two and a Half Men, etc. but again, as a loyal fan to CW and in opinion to everyone else, I believe that taking Smackdown from the air would be a huge mistake. Think about it, if not all the above opinions say "No" to changing it. I truly believe that the CW had a saying in the outside world, thanks to Smackdown. It is what has made CW popular. Now also, think of your loyal fans, like me, and the fans of the WWE, you will put them down, and who knows, you must lose ratings!!! Listen to your loyal fans because, if you don't know, WWE Smackdown fans are also your fans because Smackdown is aired on the WWE. Think about it.
Posted by: CW Fan!! | March 19, 2008 3:38 PM
i also believe that raw should be on cbs instead of USA.
Posted by: Sam | March 18, 2008 10:36 AM
cw will not hold smackdown after like, what, september? i know one thing, they say it might end up on USA, but that aint happening. if i'm correct, it will end up on my network tv, the FORMER UPN network.
Posted by: Sam | March 18, 2008 10:28 AM
smackdown should stay on the cw 'cause every other wrestling show is on cable.
Posted by: slash fan | March 16, 2008 5:34 PM
HONESTLY, TOO MANY FANS WOULD BE LOST, FOR BOTH WWE & CW.
Posted by: ROLANDO | March 15, 2008 6:01 PM
oh my GOD why smackdown is the cw????? first of all there are a lot of show on the network s0 why the cw is removing the most entertaining show on the network.I MEAN REALLY WHY??dont do this to the fans s0 THINK ABOUT IT.
Honest FAN.

no smackdown on CW = no CW
Posted by: Phantom of the Opera | March 13, 2008 7:50 PM
i don't think smackdown should leave cw11 beacuse that's the channel that i like to watch every show on but RAW, ECW, and tna plus wwe smackdown is good and fun to watch
Posted by: Shanese Hardy Calaway | March 13, 2008 12:03 PM
Why would they do this to their fans? I truly think its unfair. I have watched this with my daughter and son who turned me onto it.
We call each other and say hay did you know this one was comming up!. I like it also on the CW, as we live in the mountains,and do not have cable, only the local channels. Please CW and SmackDown do not do this to your FANS! Or at least if you do. Please do it on another local channel. Its a Family time Show, and the others get real tired of watching these other shows like big brother, etc. I Make popcorn and we climb into bed to watch. Please do not GO.
Thank you, A LOYAL FAN

ive been watchin smackdown sence it aired on cw,its a show that me and my son watch together and have a fun time watching.its a shame cw took it off air. what can cw put on that is as good as wwe smackdown a few coby game's thats lame!!!!
Posted by: roberto galvan | March 11, 2008 1:37 AM
its not a good decision for the CW or WWE. the show got good ratings. And some people like me only have basic cable and not channels like USA. WWE would only lose viewers. whatever happens, i hope somehow ill still be able to watch Friday Night Smackdown.

I feel that the cw will be pointless and boring without smack down. I think you need to reconsider. Or lose tons of viewers that are super dedicated to WWE!!!

Seriously, would it be wise for you to replace such a show like WWE Smackdown and jeopardize channel ratings? NO. Leave WWE Smackdown on CW11. It's entertainment and imrpoves your ratings. I'm sure you want them to be higher.

Please dont stop airing smackdown My son loves this show he loves the wwe, we also dont have cable this gives him at least one night to watch his favorite wrestlers. Thank you !

i just wanted to say,"I don't want it to go to an upper channel like 35 or 47 or anything like that. At our house we just have the basic channels like 2-22. That's not fair! Our family loves Smackdown and doesn't want to see it go! We can't wacth raw as it is, and now we can't watch Smackdown?!?!?! That's BULL!! FU*K YOU CW!!!"
Posted by: unknown | March 7, 2008 11:20 PM
why would you make smack down go on a diffrent channel all our family waits for friday so we can see it on channel 5
Posted by: Gutierrez family | March 7, 2008 10:52 PM
i think that smackdown should stay on the cw if smackdown moves to usa then im not watching anything on the cw

Hold up did I just hard that CW is taking Smack Down off the air. This show is the only good show I see every Friday, All the other shows are no good not even there news, I would have to watch the spanish news
Posted by: Angel | March 7, 2008 4:24 PM
i think this is so stupid! the cw has enough reality shows and dramas so why get rid of smackdown??? it is like the number one show on the cw... f you want to get rid of shows get rid of the crap shows like aliens in america, everybody hates chris, girlfriends, pussycat dolls, reaper and the game. Bring back veronica mars!!
Posted by: kayla | March 6, 2008 8:42 AM

Posted by: juan | March 5, 2008 9:27 PM
Noooooooooo Don't take this program off then the cw will really stink.
Posted by: Micaiah | March 3, 2008 9:43 AM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPENED , I AM A GIRL AND I LOVE WRESTLING, AND SMACKDOWN AND RAW , BUT I HOPE U CONSIDER NOT MOVING IT.
Posted by: Maddie | February 29, 2008 7:35 PM
I have a good idea why it is leaving. It is because on a night like tonight when ESPN has an NBA game one nationally the local station in DC WDCW has preempted Smackdown to show the same game covered by Comcast Sports net. Comcast has 2 channels on their network for sports as well as MASN. This is no the first time that this station has preempted Friday Night Smackdown for the Wizards, Caps or Nationals. Smackdown is probably the highest rated program on the CW but yet it gets bumped off by local sports and I would figure the other CW channels do the same for their local sports teams. So rather then watching FSN tonigh they moved it over to Staurday night same time.
Posted by: EcRocker | February 29, 2008 7:26 PM
why would they leave???
it makes no sense at all!!
i hope that they don't leave
Posted by: jon | February 28, 2008 8:34 PM
WHAT!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!? friday night smackdown was one of the main reasons i watch cw11. without it cw11 will mostly change into a chick station with those shows like one tree hill, gossip girl, pussy cat dolls, and american next top model. NOO SMACKDOWN DONT LEAVE US!
Posted by: Edward | February 27, 2008 9:40 PM
why does it have to change?i love smackdown!why!
Posted by: sasab | February 25, 2008 7:47 PM
I think that the cw11 shows way to many "chick" shows. They should renagotiate and leave smackdown on channel 11! As a matter of fact, cw should add raw, ecw, and tna! I bet cw ratings would go off the charts with those shows! So if u ask me, all the wrestling shows should go into cw instead of lame shows like everyone hates chris and aliens in america.

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder where they are moving???? They should STAY!!!
Posted by: dx_lover! | February 17, 2008 8:25 PM
I don't like the idea of changing smackdown to anthor channel or network. I don't like it because we don't have all the cannels like 23 to 67 we only have 1 to 22 and 100 to 1010.So please don't change it.
Thank you.
Posted by: sarai | February 17, 2008 11:53 AM
To be all honest, I thought Smackdown was becoming boring and predictable. Maybe the CW could try some new shows on Friday, which could be moved to other days if successful.
Posted by: Mac08 | February 12, 2008 4:12 PM
I'm surprised the FNS is leaving the CW. Does this mean the network's tanking?
Posted by: clarksmuse | February 10, 2008 9:14 PM
dear sir you need smackdown on the cw channel on 2009 because it is the number one on friday night and I WATCH IT EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT I WATCH WERSTLING 24 HOURS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY /THANK YOU BIGMIKEGILL57@YAHOO.COM
Posted by: james michael gill | February 10, 2008 8:53 PM
OMG!!!! They cant get rid of friday night smackdown. I watch it every friday. i love it so much!!!! how can they do that, i like other shows, but on fridays i only watch friday night smack down!!! they cant take it off. i know alot of people who would agree with me. its a good show and my baby sister likes to grab pillows and wrestle them. my mom doesnt approve of the show ( yes im younger then 14 ). so she doesnt approve, but she says " as long as it keeps you quiet i dont care if you watch it ". so i really dont think they should get rid of friday night smackdown.
im mad!!!! >=01

I think Smackdown probably wanted out because the CW is such a lousy station! They kill their good shows (Supernatural, Smackdown, Smallville) to make room for Teenybopper shows that don't make any money... they seemto hate shows that Men could enjoy as well... what is wrong with these people?
I would solove ot see Supernatural on CBS... they'd probably stand a fighting chance!
Posted by: Anneabell | February 10, 2008 9:06 AM
I myself am a big fan of wrestling. The only shows that I really watch at all on CW is "Smackdown", "Smallville", and "Supernatural". I also watch "Gossip Girl" on occasion, and my fiance and I have watched "Crowned" together. And that's pretty much about it. But if "Smackdown" does move to another network, then I will probably watch the show their. I have two VCR's and I tape my other favorite shows on those. Such as "Ghost Whisperer", "Moonlight", and "Numb3rs" on CBS, and "Flash Gordon" on Sci-Fi, and "Monk" and "Psyche" on USA network. I would like to see "Smackdown" stay with CW. Because if they did go to USA Network in the same timeslot, then it would probably be the end of one of my other favorites, being either "Monk", or "Psyche". And I would hate to see one of them go. Thanks

I think it's great that SmackDown! is finally done being on network tv. Its time that SmackDown gets it regual night back and thats thursdays not fridays. This is the CW's loss and a cable networks gain.
Posted by: Johnny Cuaron | February 9, 2008 11:30 PM
My kids used to watch when they were younger, but we haven't watched wrestling for years. I hope they find another home quickly.
Posted by: Debbie C | February 9, 2008 9:36 PM
Honestly this sucks cause people who don't have cable/satellite will not be able to watch any of the wwe wrestling shows if they move it to usa or some other cable/satellite channel and I been watching smackdown and raw for quite a while now probably bout 8-12 years and since I lost satellite I have to watch raw in spanish on saturdays and the only other wrestling I get to see is on friday it's the cornerstone of my evening on friday night and the fact that the CW is getting rid of it seems to me to be just plain stupid plus I have to agree with A.Crowder on one thing all this does is free up space for all the trashy crap now. Honestly alot of the shows on tv these days is just plain garbage IE Pussycat dolls,Crowned,One Tree Hill,Gossip Girls and numerous others that aren't on CW33 atleast wrestling has some class and doesn't go as far as some of the other shows and honestly I'd have thought that the cw33 would have wanted to keep a higher quality of show on their channel but obviously not and the fact they are getting rid of their biggest rated show just goes to show they don't seem to have very good business sense.

i am shocked why would smackdown leave the cw i watch it every friday i would like it to stay on the cw because i am used and i'm sure i'm not the only one who is used to it.
Posted by: nic | February 9, 2008 1:00 AM
What that suckz i dont have cable gow am i going 2 watch it
Posted by: Odi | February 8, 2008 11:26 PM
NOOO. I love Smackdown. Me and my little sister watch it and it is a great bonding experience for us. I will be devastated if this means the end of smackdown. there is too much great talent to be lost. I really dont care if it leaves the cw, if it moves to another channel i will just start watching that channel, but lately Smackdown is one of the only shows i watch on the cw, supernatural being the other show. I have a feeling that the cw will lose valuable viewers. the stuff that is being shown on this channel is really going down hill. i mean,The pussycat dolls? really.
Posted by: samantha | February 8, 2008 8:56 PM
My son loves this show and watches it every Friday. We don't have cable so he can't watch it on Monday nights. He will be very disappointed if it is not on our local stations. He won a contest from CW4 for tickets to Monday night RAW in our city. So that was pretty cool.
Posted by: Natalie | February 8, 2008 7:19 PM
I hink you should keep it in THE CW because it's that much more easier...of people who love WWE.It is one of the most reconized channels because of the FRIDAY NIGHT MAIN EVENTS...SMACK DOWN.Please don't change the network.
Posted by: Candi Culp | February 8, 2008 6:50 PM
I never watched Smackdown, but from what I have seen in the ratings it's pretty much The CWs #1 show. It doesn't sound to me like it was The CWs decision at all they just made it seem like it was a mutual decision. I really only watch Smallville and One Tree Hill on The CW. I used to watch Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars, but yet The CW made a terrible decision in cancelling those two shows. They were smart and very entertaining. I just hope they keep OTH and Smallville around along with Supernatural.
Posted by: Anita | February 8, 2008 5:01 PM
I myself never watched it but wow, this is very surprising news. If the CW is the one that got rid of it, they are more stupid than I thought, but if it was the Smackdown people, GOOD FOR YOU!!!
Posted by: Linda | February 8, 2008 2:13 PM
And the CW gets shot in the foot yet again.
From what I hear CBS is advertising Supernatural, and if that's any good indication, it could be byebye CW, hello CBS for the show. Plus Smallville is in the gutter with ratings, and ANTM can't go on forever.
Posted by: Rebecca | February 8, 2008 1:23 PM
I am shocked!. I don't watch and would never watch even if you paid me, but Smackdown was one of the very, very, very few things that worked on the CW. I figured they would hold on to that for as long as they can. I am definitley surprised. Season 3 for The CW will be an interesting one. It might be even more troublesome than the first two.
Posted by: Barry | February 8, 2008 11:24 AM
My 12 grandchildren and I watch the show every Friday night. Why would they take this show off and leave on some of the trashy things like Pussycat Dolls and other shows that have no value except to encourage lying, betrayal and sex. I'm so getting tired of the new format on TV channels of trashy and sexy programming in the "family hour", i.e. the aforementioned Pussycat Dolls, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girls (about high school girls sleeping with multiple partners for gosh sakes), Crowned, the Game, Girlfriends, etc., etc., etc. This channel used to be the one to watch when the other stations couldn't be because of the same thing. Some of us don't have cable or dish so we have very little in the way of family programming. Yes, while some find it distatesful, Friday Night Smackdown was a good family show, believe it or not. Lessons to be learned and taught while you watched it. Thank you
