  • The final promo of the WB. I figured this is a little piece of television history, it's the first major network I've seen sign off. UPN acutally shut down first, but not many parts of the country got the station on their final night.

They began to get a few hits in Veronica Mars and ANTM, and could have been turning a corner at that point. Most of the shows from each network that survived the merger were from UPN rather than WB, so the reimaging did work to some degree.

      For as much as people talk about Supernatural people forgot girlfriends ran from 2000 to 2008 and it's been off the game ran from 2006 to 2015. Then you have America's next Top model going from 2003 to 2018.

      Networks like NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, The Hub, USA, Sci-Fi and many other channel’s brandings just hitted different back then, sure Nick brought back the Splat last year, and CN brought Toonami and their older shows back to weekday afternoons, and Adult Swim, but still it doesn’t just hit the same as it used to back then, it’s a shame that the world we live in now is full of shooters, rapists, corrupted cops, politicians and other people who are not even remotely nice, hell, Biden just stepped down just yesterday, and Trump, his predecessor just said some mean ass stuff - like Trump, my guy, you fucking got shot in the ear last Saturday, and Biden wished you and your family well and this is the way you treat him, wow. I hope we get someone who is actually capable of running this world or in my eyes, “hell” that we are living in.

    I watched a lot of WB (especially WB Kids) in the late 90’s to early 2000’s because my family couldn’t afford cable at the time, so local channels just had to do. I always remember my oldest sister watching a lot of WB like ( wayans bro’s, sister sister, etc.). Man this brings a tear to my eye just to think how much time has passed and where we’re at now in life. Thank you WB for all the memories and moments I spent with my family watching your programs.

      Lmfao it's weird to think I literally grew up with The WB. It was mostly my sister who loved shows like Dawson's Creek and Felicity, but I loved bits and pieces of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel back in the day too. It started when i was way too young to be watching it (I was only 7 in 1995) but as I got older and through middle and high school, it was the channel I probably watched the most.
      lo and behold, literally right when i'm mostly through my first month of college...the WB ends and the CW started.

    I wish that Kids WB had a similar farewell like this. It was a huge programming block that gave us wonderful shows like Batman, Superman, Animaniacs, Xiaolin Showdown, Mucha Lucha, and was the only channel running the english dub of Pokemon. Plus, it just felt so awkward that it was called Kids WB for two years after the network was changed to The CW. There wasn't any good show on that block either, except for Legion of Superheroes. The WB went out with a bang, Kids WB went out with a whimper.

    If I could have it my way, Kids WB would have a similar segment like this on its final night that would play the same music, but with the characters waving goodbye to the viewer. It would go like this:
    For more than twelve years...
    (Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid)
    We came into your homes.
    (Batman the animated Series, Superman, Road Rovers, Earthworm Jim)
    We made you laugh...
    (Histeria, Generation O, Detention)
    ...we made you cry...
    (Yu-Gi-Oh, Cardcaptors, Megaman)
    ...and we gave you great memories.
    (X-Men Evolution, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Men in Black, The Zeta Project)
    And now, we say goodbye.
    (What's New Scooby Doo, Ozzy and Drix, Xiaolin Showdown, Mucha Lucha, The Batman, Teen Titans, Legion of Superheroes)
    From all of us at Kids WB,
    (Pokemon)
    Thank you. (final shot of Michigan J Frog taking a bow)

    I remember when the WB (The Warner Brothers Network) began in 1995, and it morphed into the CW in 2006. There was a story that
    animated character Michigan J. Frog was miscast as the mascot
    for the channel, since its programming was aimed at teen audiences; the WB was thinking of jettisoning the frog in favor
    a wall with some graffiti on it, but that was considered a distasteful
    motif, so the frog survived.

The reasons why I say that is because there are a lot of rumors and speculations that Warner Bros and ViacomCBS are trying to sell, ditch, and get rid of The CW Network this year. Nothings been confirmed yet. We still have to wait and see what’s going to happen this year. And if you don’t believe me, look it up for yourself.
