The WB:

Grosse Pointe
BUFFY!!!!!
Reba
Charmed until Paige was added.


UPN:
Never watch the channel untill Buffy came on.

I know this isn't a sitcom but on the WB I really like 7th Heaven.

I watch a LOT of the WB (Smallville, 7th Heaven...) but the comedy I really enjoy is Reba. I do watch Sabrina on occasion. I'll probably TRY to watch Family Affair this year, and maybe, What I Like About You (w/Jennie Garth & Amanda Bynes). I don't know, I just hope this new Family Affair doesn't ruin the original for me.

Oh, speaking of Family Affair, LOL, don't you guys think it would go GREAT on TVLand right now? I dont' know, I haven't seen the show for a while... LOL.

UPN
I occassionaly catch "The Parkers"

That is the best and only good show that UPN has ever put on the air.

Reba was definitely the best sitcom on these networks. It is funny how many posters in this thread list Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. But only its college seasons would count for the WB. The ABC high school years were a lot better. I did like George Wendt as Sabrina's boss in season 6, but he appeared too sporadically, should have been a series regular. UPN sitcoms don't appeal to me much, although I did watch Everybody Hates Chris for awhile. WB sitcoms I think I would like but haven't seen yet are Raising Dad and Kirk Cameron's one season sitcom Kirk. For dramas best of the WB was 7th Heaven and Gilmore Girls, and UPN's best was Star Trek: Voyager. Voyager really improved when Seven of Nine replaced Kes at the start of season 4.

I agree about Sabrina the Teenage Witch having a better run on ABC’s TGIF, but The WB’s college years weren’t terrible. Kirk had two seasons from 1995-1997.

Some others that maybe should’ve lasted longer:
Kelly Kelly (The WB)
Brotherly Love (The WB)
Run of the House (The WB)
Raising Dad (The WB)
Maybe It’s Me (The WB)
Nikki (The WB)
Clueless (UPN)

Star Trek: Voyager was UPN’s flagship show and I believe Reba was The WB’s definitive sitcom hit and could’ve gone on another year or so.

Reba was the only good one of the whole bunch in my opinion.

1. Sister, Sister (The WB years were arguably better than the ABC years)
2. Reba (The WB)
3. Sabrina the Teenage Witch (the ABC were arguably better than the WB years)
4. Grosse Pointe (The WB)
5. What I Like About You (The WB)


6. Everybody Hates Chris (UPN)
7. Unhappily Ever After (The WB)
8. The Parkers (UPN)
9. Moesha (UPN)
10. The Wayans Bros.


I mainly enjoyed the top 5 throughout their runs.
