CW PRODUCTIONS
Critics and audiences alike praise CW programming for its quality, substance and integrity in all genres, including live action and animation. Many of its shows are now household names. (See separate list of awards.)

Currently one of the top comedies in syndication, That '70s Show was created by Bonnie Turner, Terry Turner and Mark Brazill. With an ensemble that Entertainment Weekly called the "IT" cast of 2001, the show made FOX's Tuesday and now Wednesday nights a ratings force.

Notable achievements:

  • At least two shows in prime time each season for 14 years straight
  • A top 10 hit during 13 of the last 16 seasons (per Nielsen)
  • 36% of CW series have reached the 100+ episode level "the best series-to-syndication success rate of any production company" an unprecedented and as yet unmatched achievement (Kagan TV Program Investor Report, May 5, 2000)
  • For the past 20 years, millions worldwide have seen a CW program every day
  • Each week more than 42 million U.S. viewers watch CW programs (Nielsen)
