Across the board, which one of these networks were better in terms of quality shows (based on genre), strength of affiliates, and overall promotion and treatment/scheduling of shows:

I liked Moesha, The Parkers, and Girlfriends on UPN, and also Everybody Hates Chris, which migrated to the CW. I also liked The Game on CW which is now on BET. I liked Smallville and One Tree Hill on WB, which both also migrated to CW.

The WB was much better with normal shows like Parenthood and Steve Harvey

UPN was for GHETTO shows like Moesha and the Parkers

It's no contest. The WB was the better network. I tried to get into UPN but the only shows I ended up watching was WB castoffs Buffy and Roswell. lol

The WB had better shows, including one of my favorite shows, 7th Heaven.

There was arguably a time when Moesha and The Parkers were the best sitcoms on UPN, lol.
