The best UPN sitcoms:
*DILBERT
*SHASTA MCNASTY(aka SHASTA)
*MALCOLM & EDDIE

My favorite SHASTA MCNASTY episodes were the one
where Scott thinks the parrot's ghost is out to get him,
and the one where one of the other guys goes on
Win Ben Stein's Money.

Oh my goodness, I completely forgot about Social Studies! I'm probably the only one, but I LOVED show! Also, Malcolm & Eddie is probably the best UPN show ever. Oh geez, even though it is funny sometimes, The Parkers is probably the worst, IMO. Sorry Parker fans.

I LOVED "Homeboys"!!!

Wasn't James Doohan (Scotty on "Star Trek") the bartender on that show? I know there was a TREKKIE connection.

karaokedude · 04-02-2002, 04:59 PM

Other short lived UPN sitcoms:

Secret Diary Of Desmond Pfiffer

Action!

Celebrity Death Match
(reruns of the MTV hit, which was already passe when UPN picked it up)

karaokedude · 04-02-2002, 05:11 PM

OOPS! My bad. "Action" was on Fox (but it was so controversial & so short lived, it SEEMED like it had been on UPN)

warsaw dreams · 05-28-2002, 12:03 PM

Guys Like Us was the BEST!!!!! It deserved a longer life.

Drew · 05-28-2002, 08:03 PM

I havent been watching the network all that long, but my favs would be...

Moesha
One on One
the Parkers
Girlfriends
Star Trek: Enterprise
Star Trek: Voyager
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Notorious · 05-29-2002, 07:47 AM

1]Buffy, The Vampire Slayer
2]Clueless

What do you know? They both originalized on a diff'rent network!

TJL · 05-29-2002, 09:30 PM

Best - "Home Movies" now on cartoon network
Worst - Desmond Pfieffer

Platapus Man should get honorable mention for being one of the first sitcoms in UPN history

The best series on UPN was the short-lived "DiResta", I wish the show wasn't cancelled by UPN

The worst series on UPN is "Red-Handed" the late-Winter replacement for "DiResta", I didn't like the show.

NicholasFlynn · 08-08-2002, 03:42 PM

I think it's "Dilbert". It is one of worst shows I've ever seen.

A great comic strip created by a genius Scott Adams but look at what happened:

Lousy animation! Good writers who had nothing to work with and the poorest animation direction I have ever seen. The Animation Producer and Director obviously have no talent and are probably the kind of people who would rather flaunt their authority and fire people than spend the time to figure out how to make a good product.

It premiered Number 200 out of 200 in the ratings for it's 2nd season ! That tells you something!

I'm glad its off the air!

I prefer "The Parkers" & "Girlfriends" on UPN and rather watch a bad episode of "King of the Hill" or "Futurama"(Which are great shows, I'm not bashing them at all) than watch a minute of "Dilbert" any day.

Will and Grace Fanatic · 08-10-2002, 02:52 PM

The only UPN show that I've ever watched and actually liked is The Parkers. The rest of their shows were really bad.

KJH278 · 08-11-2002, 12:42 PM

The best show ever on UPN has to be WWE(F) Smackdown!

NicholasFlynn · 08-12-2002, 11:28 AM

Yeah that Sh@t is great!!!!
