[Cassie Hughes]

The CW unveiled its first fall schedule on May 18, but noticeably absent was the proposed Aquaman series, which had been tentatively called The Reef: The Legend of Aquaman.

Well I was perfectly fine with this news until the Aquaman trailer leaked:

It looks a LOT better than Runaway. *sigh*

Agreed - looked awesome :(

We could always hope that Runaway tanks within two weeks of it's premiere...that would give The CW time to order a new show if they wanted. I know they'd probably air Top Model encores instead, but FOX ordered Point Pleasant after initially passing on it...then Mondays at midseason could be the Palm Springs show and Aquaman.

But...I won't hold my breath. :(

But...I won't hold my breath. :(

Shame, cause if you did, you could have tried for the Aquaman Role!!!

I gotta be honest, that Trailer was kindatoo generic for me, it was bland, gave nothing i havent seen anywhere and the people weren't that great looking, kinda bland....though i can't lie Rhames would havemade me watch

Aw I wasn't looking forward to Aquman, stupid WB excuse me stupid CW axing a show before it gets a chance. Damn you!:(

From Ask Aussiello at TVGuide.com:

Question: I'm confused! Why wasn't Aquaman on CW's fall schedule? — Jonathan

Ausiello: Dawn Ostroff insists it's still a mid-season contender, but I'm hearing it's as good as dead. Depending on who you ask, the pilot either sucked worse than 7th Heaven — which I didn't think was possible — or Ostroff had some kind of bias against the project from the start. Based on the glowing review of the pilot on krypronsite.com, I'm inclined to believe the latter.

So maybe if Runaway flops Aquaman will get ordered.
