(WB + UPN = CW) = Concentrated Crap
Apparently, in a move that is only news because…er…not really sure why it is news…The WB and The UPN Network (otherwise known as those two channels that you skip past to go from network television to cable) have merged to form one single uber crappy network called CW. The most popular shows of each network – the San Diego-based “Veronica Mars,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Smallville” and “Everybody Hates Chris,” to name a few – are expected to find a home on the CW, which will begin broadcasting in September. Yes, to “name a few”. Because sincerely, “a few” is all you can really name. Let’s take a look at these two powerhouse rosters and what we are working with here. Below is the current prime time schedule for each “network”. The WB SUNDAY7:00-7:30 p.m. “Reba” (encore presentation)7:30-8:00 p.m. “Reba” (encore presentation)8:00-9:00 p.m. “Charmed”9:00-10:00 p.m. “Blue Collar TV” MONDAY8:00-9:00 p.m. “7th Heaven”9:00-10:00 p.m. “JUST LEGAL” TUESDAY8:00-9:00 p.m. “Gilmore Girls”9:00-10:00 p.m. “SUPERNATURAL” WEDNESDAY8:00-9:00 p.m. “One Tree Hill”9:00-10:00 p.m. “RELATED” THURSDAY8:00-9:00 p.m. “Smallville”9:00-10:00 p.m. “Everwood” FRIDAY8:00-8:30 p.m. ‘What I Like About You”8:30-9:00 p.m. ‘TWINS”9:00-9:30 p.m. ‘Reba”9:30-10:00 p.m. ‘Living With Fran” UPN MONDAY8:00-8:30 PM ONE ON ONE8:30-9:00 PM ALL OF US9:00-9:30 PM GIRLFRIENDS9:30-10:00 PM HALF & HALF TUESDAY8:00-9:00 PM AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL9:00-10:00 PM SEX, LIES & SECRETS (New Series) WEDNESDAY8:00-9:00 PM AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL9:00-10:00 PM VERONICA MARS THURSDAY8:00-8:30 PM EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS (New Series)8:30-9:00 PM EVE9:00-9:30 PM CUTS9:30-10:00 PM LOVE, INC. (New Series) FRIDAY8:00-10:00 PM WWE SMACKDOWN! It isn’t pretty. I mean honestly, if these networks both went completely off the air and didn’t even say anything about doing so, would anyone notice? I think my favorite part of the two schedules are definitely the “encore presentations” of Reba. Look on the brightside, now there will only be ONE channel to skip past between the good stuff and the better stuff. Thanks CW.
