YMMV.

In the SF bay area, neither the station that used to be the WB or the station that used to be UPN has these shows on this weekend.

[NewtonMP2100]

true dat. . .check your local listings. . .

[Racer X]

That's the aired Buffy Pilot. i have the original pilot as pitched to WB. It has a different Willow.

[NewtonMP2100]

yes for Buffy and Angel the Aired pilots. . .

[TheTominator]

Warner Brothers and CBS = CW?

CW doesn't have a good ring to it.

They should have called it WC.
That has a comfortable, familiar feel to it.
I can easily picture myself spending lots of time with The WC while browsing the TV Guide.

[NewtonMP2100]

Nope WB and UPN merged. . .not sure why they chose CW. . .

[quote NewtonMP2100]Nope WB and UPN merged. . .not sure why they chose CW. . .
CBS owned UPN. At least, that's what the Wiki told me when I puzzled over what CW stood for.

You can imagine them sitting around brainstorming about what to name UPN + WB.

"UW?"
"Nah. Sounds like what somone would say just prior to throwing up."

"How about WU?"
"As in WU-hoo! It's the PARTY channel! I like it. Let's run it up the flagpole and see who wu-hoots."

One of the local stations around Washington D.C. is Howard University Television with the call sign WHUT. Since they are a public broadcaster, one of their major contributors is Howard University Hospital (HUH). I always thought they made a great pair and reminded me of a person who is hard of hearing. HUH? WHUT?

I giggle a little bit inside every time I see the HUH promos on the channel.

[NewtonMP2100]

CBS owned them really?

interesting. . .first thing they did was revive "7th Heaven" (it was already cancelled). . .apparently, it was there highest rated series and something like one of the longest something. .. so after it was axed. . .it is back. . .


supposed this is whay "Aquaman" is dead. ..I think it was supposed to be mid-season maybe but when they bought 7th back. ..it was shelved. ..

@ least this is what I remember reading. . course I could be wrong. ..
