I feel old
It's been many, many years since I watched a TV-show that featured this scene:
Boy and girl go on date - boy's daddy issues get in the way and they start fighting, boy smashes something in anger, girl runs away, boy chases after her and tearfully apologizes - they KISS.
If this means nothing to you, you weren't a teenager in the 80s. :-p Anyhow, my 12/13 year old? (like I said, many, many years) mind adored that scene. And even recently when I watched it again, I still felt shivers of nostalgia. Even though knowing that if I saw something like that today, my cynical self would rip it to shreds.
Now, out of plain curiosity I watched another show of the same name - hard to guess what I'm talking about here, I know. *g* And in this case, time makes all the difference. My cynical self went to town because my pink-robe-clad nostalgia self wasn't there. So, this was my first and last foray down memory lane in that particular case.

Teens these days have a dime a dozen of those shows. Back then BH was not only new as a soap for teenagers but it pretty much cornered the market there.
Still, the show almost needs to not be a flop, at least in Season 1 because otherwise that whole network is done. If they can`t show to launch one lousy show that takes in the ratings, it`s adios after this Season.
And for SPN, I`m pretty sure nothing changes. They`ll get treated like the redheaded stepchild anyway but at least they`d have a network to air on. Warner would probably push for it to edge out at five Seasons and a nice 100-ep package and the CW would do it because they need both Warner and CBS and it`s a rather smallish request.
Afterwards, everything on this godforsaken network can fail, fail, fail. *g*
