There’s no disputing that ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ changed the face of television (as a reporter pointed out at the Television Critics Association Press Tour Thursday morning, it’s the most written-about TV series of all time in academic circles), so the CW knows that it’s on to a winner with ‘Ringer,’ Sarah Michelle Gellar’s triumphant return to TV.
But bringing back Sarah Michelle Gellar and ‘The O.C.’s’ Rachel Bilson (’Hart of Dixie’) in the same season might be the one-two punch that The CW needs to land a knockout punch to primetime and shake off the assumption that it’s a network for teenagers who subsist on the frothy fare like ‘90210′ and ‘Gossip Girl.’ CW president Mark Pedowitz certainly expressed hope that ‘Ringer’ might attract a wider crowd and a larger demo than their 18-34 niche, while the good-natured ‘Hart of Dixie’ should appeal to fans of old-school WB programming like ‘Gilmore Girls’ and ‘Everwood’.
