Well, BLOOD TIES wasn't helped by running it on LIFETIME.

But I'm not sure the genre is all that played out:

VAMPIRE DIARIES has lasted to a third season.
(Though SECRET CIRCLE didn't graduate to a second and AWAKE was DOA.)
SUPERNATURAL seems to be aiming at SMALLVILLE's record for longevity.
GRIMM got renewed and ONCE UPON A TIME is also continuing, making it *three* still ongoing shows playing in FABLES turf.
The US and UK versions of BEING HUMAN both seem to be going on strong.

I still haven't seen what the fall season will bring so there may be more attempts coming. (I heard DEADMAN might be an option.)

Hollywood tends to lag on memes and fads so I don't think we've seen the end of "paranormal" on TV.
