Aside from Moesha and Clueless the only other UPN shows i ever watched were a few episodes of The Parkers, Homeboys in Outerspace and a few of their one season shows, like a show with Rosa Blasi (Strong Medicine) about a record company and a show with All My Children's Eva La Rue-Callahan about a dating service...

Me too! Oh, by the way Brian Damage. I looked up on a website called TV ARK, they had clips of the old WPIX and WOR promos and ID's from back in the 70's and 80's. I remember channel 11 was "11 Alive" where they used to show a lot of great shows. If you like to see this section, here are two links to go to this site:

http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/us_wb_wpix.html
http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/us_upn_wor.html

These sites can brings back a lot of memories of these two stations.

Savannah was a great show. The wb made a mistake moving it opposite MNF. Thats when I lost track of it.

I disagree with who said WB sucks... WB was probably my favorite channel in the late 90's.

My top 10 fave WB shows ever.

1. Buffy
2. Charmed
3. Roswell
4. Popular
5. Angel
6. Dawson's Creek
7. Life With Roger
8. One Tree Hill
9. Savannah
10. Reba

the only shows I've ever watched on UPN were when Buffy and Roswell crossed channels in 2001.

WB series I like:
[i]The Parent'hood
The Wayans Bros.
Sister, Sister[/b]

UPN series I like:
Veronica Mars


There may be a few more for The WB, but I think VM is all for UPN.

Default 10 Years Ago Today - The WB, UPN Sign Off

These networks, of course, would combine their resources and form The CW.

Here is the final segment of The WB's broadcasting (technically, this coming Saturday will mark the 10th anniversary of The WB's final broadcast):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVR78SujJyI

Meanwhile, I couldn't track down the close of UPN (if I'm not mistaken, UPN didn't have a formal closure and went dark after an airing of WWE Smackdown), so hopefully this may suffice. It's a five-minute tribute to the end of the network from Channel 29 in Minneapolis.

The only shows WB aired that I really cared for were "Reba" & "Buffy".

UPN sucked big time. "Buffy" was the ONLY show I ever watched on UPN.

My favorite Warner Bros. Network (the WB) programs were "Animaniacs" and "Pinky and the Brain" (I had no favorites from the United Paramount Network (UPN). "The Wayans Bros." would had been my favorite too if I had known it was one of their programs (it would eventually become my CW Network program; as part of their daytime programming block).

I do miss the WB Sunday Night line-up of 1995 and 1996. I miss seeing Pinky and the Brain, Sister, Sister, and Kirk...I taped an episode where Kirk Hartman has a real wedding...this show is sooooo underrated! I still hope that there's a DVD release of "Kirk: The Complete Series"...many people are highly opinionated toward Kirk Cameron because of his belief in God, but this series...he wasn't acting fundamental...he even played Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" in one ep!

Default Entertainment Why The WB Defined the '90s and Continues to Define Us to This Day

https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/m/31...fined-the.html

Quote:
It gets a little hazy remembering what aired when and which show started where, especially since The WB was both a launching pad and a receiving ground for series that bounced around among networks before becoming another network entirely, bringing some shows with it (like 7th Heaven) and cutting others loose. But briefly, The WB launched on Jan. 11, 1995, with a comedy block that for years was anchored by The Wayans Bros., considered the network's very first sitcom because it aired at 8 p.m. on Jan. 11, Unhappily Ever After, The Parent 'Hood (which premiered a week later) and the short-lived Muscle. Also beefing up the lineup during that first season were cartoons—most memorably the Emmy-winning ...
