“StarStruck,” which premiered on the Disney Channel Feb. 14, tells the classic tale of an uncool girl who falls for the most popular boy.

The CW announced five pilot pickups Tuesday, Feb. 2: “Betwixt,” “HMS,” “Hellcats,” “Nikita” and “The Wyoming Project.” While the network’s attempt to be known as something other than the former WB is overdue, a second book-based series, a remake and uninspired dramas may not be the wisest moves.

As Simone Elkeles’s “Perfect Chemistry” begins, you may feel the need to strangle the main characters. Brittany is the cheerleader with mouthwatering looks and bitchy friends. Alex is the bad boy with gang paraphernalia and an accent. Of course, they’re both secretly miserable.

While not the funniest or most enthralling show, “Chuck” has attempted to find its own little niche and satisfy the audience who dwells there.
