The CW

The CW Television Network (The CW) is a television network in the United States launched at the beginning of the 2006–2007 television season. It is a joint venture between CBS Corporation, the former owners of United Paramount Network (UPN), and Time Warner's Warner Bros., former majority owner of The WB Television Network. The "CW" name is derived from the first letter of the names of these corporations (CBS and Warner Bros.). The network features a lineup of shows that, according to its President of Entertainment Dawn Ostroff, "appeal to women 18 to 34-years-old." [1] The network currently airs programming 6 days a week: Monday through Friday afternoons and evenings (in prime time), and Saturday morning children's programming.

The network debuted programming after its two predecessors, UPN and The WB, ceased independent operations on, respectively, September 15 and September 17, 2006. The CW's first two nights of programming—Monday and Tuesday, September 18 and September 19, 2006—consisted of reruns and launch-related specials. The CW marked its formal launch date on Wednesday, September 20, 2006, with a 2-hour season premiere of America's Next Top Model.

The CW lineup has featured on a mixture of programming that originated on both UPN and The WB along with its own original programs.

But Serena longs for true romance, and initially seeks this with Nate, despite his relationship with her Best friend Blair. Serena is often criticized by her classmates, who find her an excellent source of gossip.

After a break from college, she attends Yale University.
• Nate Archibald is a wealthy, good-looking lacrosse player from St. Jude's School for Boys. He has dated a few girls in the series, but his only serious relationship has been with his on-again/off-again girlfriend, Blair Waldorf.

In the sequel, he attends Deep Springs recommended by Chuck Bass, and then Brown University.
• Dan Humphrey is a thin, sensitive, caffeine-addicted poet who often sees the darker side of things. A romantic whose imagination runs off wildly at the worst times, he is also over-analytical and easily frustrated. He was in love with Serena for years before they met and briefly dated, and experimented with homosexuality, before he began dating Vanessa Abrams. He is a published writer of poetry and songs. At the end of the series, he is attending Evergreen State College in Washington. In the sequel he transfers to Columbia University.
• Jenny Humprhrey is Dan's younger sister and an aspiring artist who wishes to be more like Serena, whom she eventually befriends.

She is eventually kicked out of the Constance Billard School for Girls and sent to a boarding school where she reinvents herself as the "it girl", à la Serena. Her move to the boarding school and her life there became the topic of a spin-off of the series, The It Girl.

• Chuck Bass is the series' handsome, lust-driven antagonist who tries to take advantage of several girls, though it is eventually revealed that he is bisexual and he begins dating a male named Greg.

At the end of the series, he is not accepted into any college that he applied to and claims he is going to military college. However, he never arrives at the school and his whereabouts remain unknown. He later returns to New York as a changed, respectable man. In the books, Chuck is a secondary character. However, he is elevated to a primary role in its television adaptation, in which he holds an intense relationship with Blair.
• Elise Wells is Jenny's best friend and a student at Constance Billard. She discovers homosexual attractions — which prove to be fleeting — and embraces Jenny. She later falls in love with Dan, but he rejects her and after accepting this she encourages him to his relationship with Vanessa.
• Mystery Craze is a poet that Dan has relations with in Because I'm Worth It. As such, Vanessa discovers that Dan is cheating on her while attending a poetry reading where Mystery and Dan are overcome with sexual desires as they do their reading. Their performance thus is overtly sexual.

Terrified

You by the light is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side

You said it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions

Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only life

This could be good, it's already better than last
And love is worse than knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you needed if you let me try

You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting start
I'm at the edge of my emotions

Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only

I only said it 'cause I mean it, I only mean 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you

You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star

Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only life
