Though the CW doesn't have much luck getting the brightest and best. They're stuck with the dullest and the worst. Which is why we keep suffering with the train wreck that is Felicity. You are right there. I don't understand why there was such a drop between 'Smallville' and the 'Arrowverse' shows and an even bigger one in quality when you go back to 'Buffy' and 'Angel' which I heard were on the WB which become the CW Network and 'Smallville' had a lot of actors and actresses that went on to play bigger roles in other popular TV shows and some that are headlining movies now like Amy Adams and Evangeline Lilly who Beccy and I just watched last night in 'Ant Man and the Wasp.' The 'Arrowverse' doesn't get nearly as many actors as 'Smallville' got and it seemed they had better writers writing the episodes of 'Smallville' sometimes too. Did you know one of the main writers of 'Smallville' wrote 'Spider-Man 2?'  The WB I think was more influential back then I mean when you think those teen drama's were cultural touchstones of the 90's and early 00's the CW shows aren't that anymore, also somehow when WB and UPN merged to create The CW they actually created a lesser brand.
Also back then there were less places to work so quality was more important now however there is just so much content and so many places for people to work, the quality control just isn't there and also means actors don't need to just take a job to take a job as much, 133 new shows of all types debuted in 2003 this year so far it's 273 and we still have another 15 yet to debut atleast, and that's just debuting shows in US TV let alone ongoing shows or international programmes and such.
