In a break from covering the CW, Sabrina Reed and Reed Gaudens are sitting down to talk about music. From what they listened to in their youth to what they're listening to now, the two trade stories about the communal nature of song sharing, the ways in which certain artists are held to standards that aren't fair, and letting people like what they like even if it's not for you.

TV is back! Well, sort of. The CW’s main tentpoles won’t be airing until April but at least filming is getting underway. Not to mention there’s a new show and two acquisitions to look forward to in January 2024.

The Conners is the latest attempt at establishing a solid comedy on the network, this time by tapping a series that will debut a new season on ABC in February. Ride, formerly of Hallmark channel, is a modern western that should get the Walker and Sullivan’s Crossing fans tuning in. And, lastly but certainly not least, Vanessa Morgan is set to make her return to the CW with Wild Cards. Let Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens tell it, in a spoiler-free way of course, this is a show to be tuning into every week!

This week Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have their eyes turn toward the future of The CW and a storytelling device that's all about the past aka the flashback.

Wild Cards, the new Vanessa Morgan-led comedic procedural coming to the network, is on their watch list and the trio have seen the trailer so, of course, they're reacting to it! Also, with new content still being a month away, they're doing another discussion pod. This time it's about flashbacks, a tool in a writer's holster that can do wondrous things for a plot or bring it all the way down.

This week on The CW Spiral, Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens forgo watching something new, or a classic, to have a Green Table Talk about the definition of a cliffhanger.

Yes, there's a standard that should be met and they've taken out their measuring stick to try to gauge where it is.

What's your standard for a cliffhanger? How would you define the term and apply it to television? Share your opinion with the trio!

Look, The CW Spiral knows they're 20 years late with their anger over the WB cancelling Tarzan but Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens had no idea how attached they'd get to the eight episode series.

Episode 6, "Surrender," had its issues but Jane laying everything on the line and the show breaking away from the case of the week format really did wonders. With only two episodes left, the trio wonder what's in store as they race to Tarzan's abrupt end.

Also on deck: The Spiral reacts to Dawson's Creek, Party of Five, the Melrose reboot, and Heartland being available to stream on the CW App and cwtv.com.

Finally, we have some good news from The CW and no one's more excited than Reed Gaudens though Sabrina Reed and Michael Patterson are a close second. That's because Vanessa Morgan is coming back to the network in the procedural series, Wild Cards. The actress is the lead and The CW Spiral will be seated! The trio will also be tuning into Sight Unseen which is bringing another CW vet back to their screens, Daniel Gillies.

As for wrestling making its way back...well, the Spiral are less excited about that since it's NWA and not WWE, but with Michael as their guide into wrestling, they may catch a match if the reports of The CW broadcasting the sport are true.

Picking up where they left off with Tarzan--which also marks the halfway point for the eight episode season--episode 4 "Rules of Engagement" is the best episode of the series since the pilot. The more the trio of seen, the more they wish the show hadn't have been canceled by The WB.

The CW's new content is still riding the bench when it comes to Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gauden's watch list, but the trio do have news to share about the network this week.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa revealed Riverdale's final season could have taken viewers out of the '50s and into more decades but the writers room showed restraint. Sullivan's Crossing and The Spencer Sisters' debuted to strong numbers (at least on The CW's scale), and there's reportedly a premiere window for All American, All American: Homecoming, Superman & Lois, and Walker.

As for the CW Spiral's Tarzan journey, they may be a bit ahead of the plot but no one can say this group isn't invested. Episode 3, "Wages of Sin," put the case of the week in the driver's seat to mixed results but the use of Matt Nathanson as a theme for our hero was an excellent decision.

As Reed Gaudens put it when the CW Spiral started their Tarzan journey, the pilot piloted but episode 2, "Secrets and Lies," is where he, Michael Patterson, and Sabrina Reed began to see cracks in the hidden gem. This is due, in part, to an unexpected death, some very thin writing for Jane Porter, and a failure of the Bechdel Test that could have at least gone somewhere. But in spite of these drawbacks, the trio are glad to be on this fast-paced ride. They're manifesting what they hope to see next on the short-lived WB series especially now that Lucy Lawless has been introduced into the plot as Tarzan's aunt, Kathleen Clayton.

In the first episode of The CW Spiral's third season, Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens are starting their Tarzan journey!

It's been 20 years since the WB series from Eric Kripke aired. Back in 2003, the adventure drama was canceled after eight episodes. Having watched its chef's kiss of a pilot, the Spiral are putting on their investigative hats to sort out whether the show was cut down too soon or it fizzled the longer season 1 went on.

Join the trio as they discuss Leighton Meester's involvement in Tarzan, the musical cues in the pilot that include a classic Avril Lavigne song, and how the WB series gave them Batman vibes.

The Superman & Lois season 3 finale was nothing short of epic. Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have glowing praise for how the season wraps though that doesn't mean the show escapes criticism for its handling of some of the plots. Let's just say they have some parting shots about the supporting characters.

Also on deck: Two thirds of the Spiral give an out of context review of the Gotham Knights series finale while Michael shares his thoughts and fills in the gaps. The plot on Nancy Drew was plotting but that doesn't mean the trio were keeping up with it.

Sabrina Reed and Michael Patterson have good news and bad news to share with the Walker fam. While the flagship has been renewed by The CW, Walker Independence has been canceled. There's also a host of summer and fall acquisitions that have been added to the network, but with Reed Gaudens gone for this week's pod they've shelved that news for next pod.

At least, even with their mourning of WIndy's run on The CW, Michael and Sabrina have another spectacular episode of Superman & Lois to dive into. As for The Flash...a lot of talking was going on instead of saving Barry. But, hey, Khione and Eddie got to shine so there's that.

But don't worry, Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens will be back to their regularly scheduled reviews next pod!

The Nexstar deal has finally gone through! The CW has a new majority owner and, like the rest of the Internet, Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens are scratching their heads over the idea that the average viewer is 58 years old. Be serious, Nexstar.

Join the Spiral as they dive into the reported plans the company has for The CW before they pitch their own ideas for content to mine. An Ally McBeal revival, anyone? How about a Felicity reboot starring Millie Bobby Brown? Release a Renee Montoya series! Or at least give us a Batman anthology. Think of the prestige!

As always, this trio of fans has just the plan to help the CW out. Hopefully, the mole takes their long list of ideas back to the higher ups. Their consulting fee is in bold at the top.

This week Sabrina Reed and Reed Gaudens are celebrating 100 episodes of Dynasty. The naysayers said this show wouldn't make it past a season. Ha! And, what a 100th episode it was. Let Reed lead you through the momentous occasion while Sabrina provides some commentary from her out-of-context watch. Let's just say it's a good time.

Also on deck: An addendum to last pod's Summer on The CW talk (conspiracy theory: We have a mole!), a drama-filled Superman and Lois review courtesy of Sabrina, praising the comedic beats in Tom Swift with Reed pointing out episode 2 needed more walk and talks, and a murder in a chapel thanks to In the Dark.

The Spiral was without Michael again this week BUT he'll be back next Monday. Time traveling takes a lot out of a person. Don't worry, he didn't mess up the timeline...we think...

Summer is here! Sabrina Reed and Reed Gaudens breakdown what shows are coming to The CW in the hottest season of the year, but they must warn you, it's not much. The network needs to "level up" when it comes to their summer programming. Sure, Roswell New Mexico and In the Dark will be on, but the rest are acquisitions they're not even sure people are aware air on The CW.

In a bid for a better summer line-up, Reed Gaudens throws out a Big Brother: Teens idea that could definitely be something that catches people's attention. What The CW needs is non-scripted summer programming that pulls an audience in. Perhaps the Spiral should be tapped as consultants. Just a thought, CW.

Also on deck: The Spiral's reaction to the Gotham Knights trailer (including Michael's official statement), a plea for Baby Anthony to just be called Anthony on Riverdale, continued praise for Tom Swift, and more!

The Spiral has been bumped down to a duo for the next couple of weeks. But don't worry, Michael Patterson will be back! He's just time-traveling like The Flash.

Note: At the top of the episode, Sabrina says Tom Swift premieres on Monday. That's incorrect. The series premieres Tuesday, May 31 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

Happy Tom Swift premiere day! Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens are along for the ride with this Nancy Drew spin-off which means they've officially kicked off their Drew Crew era...kind of. They've seen his intro episode, but it's a start. Let them tell it, Tom's the new icon in town, The CW has a star in Tian Richards, and Ashleigh Murray is getting everything she deserves as Zenzi Fullerton.

Also on deck: CW news including Charisma Carpenter's upcoming role on Dynasty, Michael and Sabrina are finally back to their The Flash reviews (Also, #LetIrIsBeGreat is a campaign they're promoting. All love always to Candice Patton), Reed has a Dynasty update, and Sabrina didn't catch up on All American and All American: Homecoming like she promised BUT she did watch the finales. Reed is living for confusing paternity drama happening at Bringston University while Sabrina's been left with questions. Good thing the show has a season 2!

In the wake of the recent cancellations of Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman, Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens discuss the disrespectful decision The CW made. Fans around the globe were hurt by the cancellations not only because of the way they were done but also because Legends of Tomorrow ended on a cliffhanger and Batwoman had more story to tell.

#SaveLegendsofTomorrow and #SaveBatwoman are the rallying cries of viewers looking for these shows to continue. Whether that's a TV movie for Legends or another season of Batwoman, the fans are fighting for these shows and so are The Spiral. Also, the trio talk about the importance of representation, what else is in jeopardy of cancellation, and how they're feeling about the upcoming pilots in this new CW era.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness premieres this week on May 6 so, of course, Michael Patterson is ready to give Sabrina Reed and Reed Gaudens a rundown of the Arrowverse’s multiverse.

The Arrowverse has a long and storied history. One so influential that the MCU owes its on-screen multiverse attempt to DC TV’s successful multiverse run on The CW. Yes, they’re making that bold claim. No, they’re not open to arguments at this time, thank you.

Also on deck: a discussion about their favorite Arrowverse crossovers, a call for Supergirl to make a return, a shout out to Jordan Elsass’ performance on Superman and Lois’ excellent Bizarro world episode, and more lamenting about The Flash.

This week’s toast is going to Heartstopper, a Netflix original teen series that has taken the world by storm and absolutely deserves every bit of praise it’s been given. We’re on a campaign to #RenewHeartstopper. We need more of Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson’s love story!

The Arrowverse has a special place in Sabrina Reed and Michael Patterson's hearts. From Arrow to Superman and Lois, the Arrowverse has redefined what superhero television can be. There wouldn't be a superhero renaissance without the impact of these shows. Yes, that means you owe Marvel TV and HBO Max's DC TV to The CW. You can fight us on it, but we're right!

In this week's episode, while Reed Gaudens is away, these super friends will launch into a discussion about the Arrowverse's future on the network, the importance of supporting shows like Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow, as well as champion a return for Katie Cassidy's Black Canary in Justice U.

Also, Javicia Leslie gets a special shoutout for her portrayal of Ryan Wilder which saved Batwoman and made the show we know and love what it is today!

FanSided is celebrating 15 years of bringing you the best content from sports to entertainment. As such, Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have their eyes on the future, specifically The CW's...at least in terms of Superman and Lois. Will Supergirl finally be seen on the series about her cousin? Can we expect a crossover with The Flash? We want an Iris West and Lois Lane team up. Come on, CW, give us that dynamic duo one more time!

Also, the Spiral talks if and when Clark will tell Lana Lang that he's Superman, give yet another mixed review of The Flash, praise Dynasty's handling of Fallon Carrington's growth, and lodge complaints against Riverdale. It's dragging, y'all, and it's not just a ratings issue. There are problems with the writing.

Plus, there's a special shout out to the Legends of Tomorrow fandom. #RenewLegendsofTomorrow!

The CW is reboot and spin-off central. From the expanding All American universe to the Arrowverse, the network hasn't found a show yet that it can't either bring back from the dead (looking at you Charmed!) or spin into another story. We're not complaining, but its roster is full of iconic characters.

As such Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have their own thoughts on what shows should be revived next like One Tree Hill and Ghost Whisperer. Not to mention the Colbys on Dynasty deserve their own spin-off series. Join the trio as they delve into The CW history concerning reboots and spin-offs, the good and the bad.
Also, as usual, they'll be diving into their weekly reviews of The Flash and Superman & Lois. Plus, Reed reveals the results of his four episode test. Did All American: Homecoming come out on top? Find out on the pod!

CW renewal news has hit the Internet! Well…some of it has. Apparently, The CW is sitting on the rest of it. Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens weren’t surprised by renewals for All American, Superman and Lois, The Flash and a few more shows but Nancy Drew made the early renewal cut, too, and that felt like a curveball.

In this episode, they’ll discuss why the Drew Crew may have succeeded where Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow fans have not (though they’re still rooting for those shows). As well as talk casting news since The Winchesters found their John and Mary. Plus, the Spiral are manifesting a Supernatural reunion on Gotham Knights now that Misha Collins is going to Gotham.

Also on deck: A Superman and Lois review that digs into the Kent bros. drama, a discussion about the Hotness on The Flash that goes off the rails, and an aside about Twitter toxicity.

Riverdale fans, the time has come! Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens are bringing you their Riverdale season 6 hot takes and opinions now that our show is finally back. You're in for a Barchie spiral, a sprinkle of Bughead hope, and a full on roast when it comes to the misery the writers are putting Veronica and Jughead through once again. Also, Cheryl looked fabulous that needs to be noted.

Besides Riverdale love, we'll dive into Walker: Independence casting news, which CW shows we think will escape the cancellation guillotine, praise Fallon's journey on Dynasty, express our displeasure with the latest episode of The Flash, and toast the return of Charmed.

Buckle up, Bat fans, it's time to go down the rabbit hole with The CW Spiral! But don't worry, it's not all doom, gloom, and Gotham. Dynasty gets some love this week on the pod and, of course, we have to fill you in on the latest family drama happening in Superman and Lois.

Has The CW's schedule been driving you up a wall? You're not alone! Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens have complaints and would like to speak to the manager, too. But first, they'll tackle saying goodbye to Nick Zano on Legends of Tomorrow, lament the lack of renewal news, and try to guess how the CW's schedule could evolve next. Seriously, though, #RenewTheCWShows, ASAP.

The CW is currently developing pilots. Sabrina Reed, Michael Patterson, and Reed Gaudens breakdown which of the three pilots could move forward. Will it be Walker: Independence, Gotham Knights, or The Winchesters? Also, Michael makes the case for why Green Arrow and the Canaries should have moved forward at The CW, Reed draws a surprising comparison between All American's Spencer James and Riverdale's Archie Andrews, and Sabrina suddenly changes her mind about the Walker spin-off as soon as Nina Dobrev is mentioned.
