Crazy Ex-Girlfriend airs Fridays at 9/8c on The CW.
The biggest and happiest surprise was the pickup for the low-rated but critically acclaimed musical comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend starring two-time Golden Globe nominee and one-time winner Rachel Bloom.
“When you have great critical work and a critically acclaimed and [award-]nominated show like [Crazy Ex-Girlfriend], it deserves to be picked up,” said CW President Mark Pedowitz when asked about the network’s decision.
It has everything to do with [how] Crazy Ex, Jane the Virgin and the DC franchises have helped alter the perception of what The CW has become.”
