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.

Buffyboy323 · 07-13-2019, 10:10 PM

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.
