S&L now CW's last Vancouver filmed show

[Tim]

S&L is now the last of the CW's Vancouver filmed shows (the two All American shows are filmed in L.A. and Walker is filmed in Texas).

All the other Vancouver filmed shows are now over.

Damn end of an era.

Guess Vancouver must be out of the price range for the Cheap Wankers.

S&L was lucky it got renewed at all.

Unless a revival happens in the future and shows start filming there again of course.

As long as the CW remains under the current ownership, that's very unlikely.

It is interesting to note that the other three, of the four remaining scripted CW shows, do not rely on special F/X.

[matt]

Very interesting. Only S/L are F/X heavy. I see why they saved money for effects by cutting the cast down.

[Tim]

Yea, as far as I know, none of those other sows had cast members axed.

I'm surprise the Cheap Wankers didn't move S&L's production Stateside.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Well, being a show about a man with extraordinary powers of course FX effects will prominently feature which cost a lot to do so something has to go to make way for that then.

It's a shame chopping half the cast was the only way achieving that obviously.

[Tim]

Once the CW became the Cheap Wankers, this was inevitable.

[matt]

Here's hoping that the strike is now nearing its end. Production on S4 may well begin towards the end of the year. I think we won't see it on air until at least April. But we have a shorter season order, so I think 10 episodes would take less time to shoot than 13-15.

[Tim]

And with the nuked budget as well.

[matt]

Yeah that too. Hopefully the cuts came from reduced cast and not sets and special effects.

[Tim]

I think that was one reason the cast was cut.  So they could afford more F/X.

The Cheap Wankers sure aren't gonna help.

They sure ain't. Honestly won't be surprised CW is just reality TV and import shows by 2026. With no original content if Walker and S&L end in the next 2 years.

I've dropped the CW from my cable package.
