Supernatural, Smallville and One Tree Hill will live on. That's the good news for fans this morning, as the CW announces its new fall schedule. However, noticeably absent is Veronica Mars, which has been replaced by Gossip Girl, the new teen soap from Josh Schwartz, after America's Next Top Model on Wednesday night.

As reported yesterday, thanks to VM boss Rob Thomas, the decision has not yet been made regarding Veronica's fate, and the show could return for midseason. Meanwhile, Veronica herself, Kristen Bell, may end up a part of Gossip Girl.

The wait to find out may kill me!

Meanwhile, the CW has picked up three reality shows: Crowned (a mother-daughter beauty pageant), Farmer Wants a Wife (a dating show) and the show that shan't be named about the slutty girls dancing and singing and jiggling, which is coming back for a second season. (Shudder.)

The See-Dub also has greenlighted the following four series:

  • Gossip GirlA sudsy teen drama about Manhattan rich kids and the bloggy girl who keeps tabs on them. It's from The O.C. mastermind Josh Schwartz.
  • Reaper:  A dramedy about a bounty hunter for the devil.
  • Life Is Wild:  A drama about a family in South Africa.
  • Aliens in America:  A comedy about a Muslim foreign exchange student living with an American family.
