Believe it or not, but this month will mark the 10th anniversery of the 5th and 6th networks, UPN and the WB. Who thought both networks would last this long.

Wow, 10 years and they still suck.

Wow 10 years ago. I still remember when WB aired nothing but Sister, Sister and The Wayans Brothers. And then they got Buffy, Dawson's Creek and Felicity and everything changed

and UPN seems to be just about the same as it always was... But without even 1 show i would watch, i used to watch UPN for Moesha and Clueless.

My Personal top 10 WB series ever:

1. Felicity
2. Popular
3. Dawson's Creek
4. Savannah
5. For Your Love
6. Popstars
7. Sister, Sister
8. Maybe Its Me
9. For Your Love
10. Charmed

My Top UPN Series:

1. Clueless
2. Moesha

Wow! 10 years would never be the same without UPN and WB the two networks had displaced independent programming. I missed all of the shows that were used to be local.

It's been around since channels 9 (WWOR) and 11 (WPIX) had been the place for independent programming. I used to watch shows that had been around locally from the time I was born and ended in 1995. Happy 10th anniversary to both networks.

Happy birthday to them I guess....

Brian Damage · 01-04-2005, 08:43 PM

I miss the local programming on WOR and WPIX.

MichaelKane20 · 01-04-2005, 09:38 PM

I think the WB has gotten better, but UPN is still bad. I think it's stupid that they took over all those local stations, they got there too late and all the good stations were taken so they should have let it go.

I agree. Over the years the WB has produced some very good shows; some of my favorite shows are WB shows, but UPN is still struggling. Even the Star Trek franchise is in danger of going under.

It is hard to imagine, given UPN's horrible ratings for most of the last ten years, that when Star Trek: Voyager premiered back on January 16th, 1995, it won the night for UPN with a 14.5 rating. UPN beat all the other networks that night. For its second night of programming, however, UPN pulled a much less impressive 5.1 rating.

By comparison, for its first two nights of programming, The WB pulled a 1.9 and a 2.0, respectively.

For the record, during the 1995-1996 season, the highest-rated UPN series was Star Trek: Voyager, which ranked 134th. The highest-rated WB show wasThe Parent 'Hood at 142nd.

I agree the WB does have some great shows, 7th Heaven is now their longest running series
