Breaking news: No one watches The CW

Today’s issue of The Hollywood Reporter features a complete ratings recap of the 2007-08 TV season, and the results are… not surprising at all. Fox and ABC look to be the biggest winners, while some other networks *cough* The CW *cough* should probably just be put of their misery.

The CW’s highest-rated series were “America’s Next Top Model” (the two cycles that aired this season landed at #78 and #98 on the list) and “Smallville,” which ended up in the #113 spot. Even “Gossip Girl,” which we were led to believe was getting a lot of buzz — remember those ridiculous OMFG ads? — couldn’t make it past #129.

So which shows topped the list? “American Idol” took the top two slots with its two-night-a-week airings, followed by “Desperate Housewives” at #3, “House” at #4, and “Grey’s Anatomy” rouding out the top 5.

I was going to make a comment about how Americans apparently don’t mind watching trash as long as its cleverly-disguised… but who am I to judge anyone? My favorite TV moment in the past few weeks was watching those chicks gobble down boiled pig vaginas on “A Shot at Love.”
