And yeah, 7th heaven was the 1 show on the WB, but Everwood(9) still outranked Veronica Mars(23) and One Tree Hill(18). Both of which are still on the air.

Veronica Mars seems to have a really big cult following, and there were a lot of people being very vocal about it on the internet and in the media.
One Tree Hill seems to appeal to the younger crowd, which is always a good thing when it comes to advertisers.
Everwood didn't necessarily have a strong target audience that stands out for me. Perhaps one or more of the characters didn't want to stay with the show. Perhaps it just wasn't going to get the demographics CW will be aiming for. It probably did enjoy the number 9 rating b/c it was on directly after 7th Heaven and had the spillover (now I know why I didn't watch it, I would put on the Apprentice at 9). Maybe Everwood outran its storyline and there wasn't much left to do with it.
We'll probably never know. They couldn't possibly keep all of the shows, so I guess something's gotta go, and someone somewhere will be ticked about it no matter what they choose.
