The CW has announced early renewals for three of its most popular series; Arrow, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries. The trio also happen to be among my favorite television series that I have followed since their debuts. Arrow (pictured above), which is based on the Green Arrow character from DC Comics, debuted last fall and quickly emerged as The CW's highest rated series. Arrow leads into Supernatural on Wednesday night and, as a result, viewership for the long running series has risen above last year.

Supernatural will enter its ninth season this fall and I assume that stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki (pictured above) will return as the demon hunting Winchester brothers. It looks like Supernatural may shadow Smallville and enjoy a decade long run on The CW.

The Vampire Diaries remains a popular entry for The CW, but has fallen to second place in overall viewership since the arrival of Arrow. The Vampire Diaries' fourth season has been uneven so far, but the last few episodes appear to signal a return to form for the exciting series that is not afraid to kill off characters on a regular basis, which helps to reset the relationship dynamics among the talented cast. The Vampire Diaries will return for a fifth season in the fall and, if the show can remain consistent and retain its most popular stars, it may have a shot at enjoying a decade long run as well.
