UPN & WB to merge

[Vince278]

I don't like the name CW. It reminds me of "Carrier Wave" which is basically an idle channel.
(Of course, that beats WC which means something entirely different outside of the US )

I immediately thought Country Western when I saw CW. Not a good way to attract viewers outside of Nashville.

From my perspective, this thread may as well be written in Swahili...

And you do realize that you need to subscribe to digital cable for those HD channels, right?

UPN is the Paramount network
WB is the Warner Brothers network

Don't WB aim for suburban emo teenagers and UPN aim for urban kids?

I haven't seen either in years but last I heard WB was aimmed more at black kids.

[Asher]

Have you guys watched the WB?

Supernatural, Everwood, One Tree Hill, Buffy, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, etc...

[Minute Mirage]

I'm pretty much only interested in how this will affect Veronica Mars. Here's to hoping it gets renewed for a 3rd season.

Remember when they mocked WB on the Simpsons?

"Here's another crappy show that no one will see on the dub-dub-dubya W. B."

good times, good times

I thought it was the other way around. They kind of criss-crossed each other. I think one network had Voyager, but the other one had Enterprise.

No, both Voyager and Enterprise were on UPN. Since they started off as network series rather than syndicated series, they were linked to UPN. DS9/TNG were both syndicated, so in some markets they appeared on the WB affiliate.

Here's to keeping Veronica Mars and Everybody Hates Chris.

I have both channels but I tend to watch neither. Some of the shows listed seem like they may be decent but I just don't have the time to try them out.

Basically I have chosen about 4-5 shows that I watch and thats it . ..
Thankfully the new PVR technology is fabulous and I can always watch the episodes that I missed or the decent movie I recorded. PLus I am catching up on Enterprise-- I know its cancelled but there were a number of episodes I missed and am catching up. The DVD series for Enterprise is PROHIBITIVELY expensive
