CW executives personally asked for Don Lamb to be killed off the show, claiming he was too antagonistic, but not enough of a villain.

The character of Piz was added to the show at the behest of CW executives, who believed the show was lacking a male character that would appeal to white females teenagers. When Marshall brought up the plethora of male characters already on the show, he was told that Wallace and Weevil wouldn't draw on white teens and that Logan was too rich to pull in teenage viewers, as they would find it hard to feel empathy for a wealthy character. This was, naturally, just before the network debuted Gossip Girl, a show about wealthy teens, and 90210, a show prominently featuring men of color.
lol, cw.
Seriously, some of you should pick up this week's Hollywood Reporter, it's about how CW is a failure. There's other stuff related to VM, but me too lazy to transcribe
