Wendy Raquel RobinsonGUEST
Steve Harvey started the WB Network and we had the UPN Network.
Wendy Raquel RobinsonGUEST
So it's.
Wendy Raquel RobinsonGUEST
There weren't a lot of programs, but they launched with black shows and families used to sit around and watch black shows.
Maurice LicorishHOST
And then also, guys, Freakazoid is on Tubi.
Maurice LicorishHOST
For anybody who grew up in the 90s watching obscure cartoons, everybody who watched the WB, after school kids WB, of course we liked Animaniacs.
Maurice LicorishHOST
Of course we liked Pinky and the Brain.
Maurice LicorishHOST
Of course, but like, do y'all remember Road Rovers? Do y'all remember Wayne Head? Do y'all remember Hysteria? That short-lived weird Animaniacs-style history show or anything like that? but the one that always stood out to me was always freakazoid it had two seasons and it was it was always amazing the humor was top-notch and i loved it and now it's available on 2b and i've been watching it non-stop so that has been making me happy and stop of course it had to be a hamilton reference it wouldn't be this podcast if it wasn't the hamilton reference
Mark OttoHOST
Okay.
Frank SantorelliGUEST
It was on The WB.
Frank SantorelliGUEST
I don't know if you remember that.
Mark OttoHOST
Oh, absolutely.
Mark OttoHOST
And, and so I did a sitcom called Let's Be Frank.
Mark OttoHOST
[laughs] I was a cop.
Mark OttoHOST
Um, it was on The WB, which had, like, You So Raven, Frank's Place.
Mark OttoHOST
Um-
Cortney LaCorteGUEST
We'll, we'll allow it
HayleyHOST
... her first viewing of Gilmore Girls was as it was airing live on The WB in 2005.
Cortney LaCorteGUEST
Wow.
HayleyHOST
So she missed-
Max SingerHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Max SingerHOST
Who, who do you think you are, the WB? This is ABC Family.
Geoff KerbisHOST
[laughs] Um, well, Max, that is the end of this pilot.
Geoff KerbisHOST
But I wanna talk a little bit more about things that we love, things that maybe you wanted to give a little bit more shine to that we didn't discuss in depth.
Richard DayGUEST
But I thought at the time, because I was really into independent film and those things, if you're going to do clerks, it's like you have to do it right, because people are really invested, even just out of the gate.
Richard DayGUEST
But what happened was the reason they sold it to the WB, for instance, was the WB wanted teen shows.
Richard DayGUEST
You know, that's all they saw it as, was another teen show.
Richard DayGUEST
And they wanted the cast to be really attractive.
Leah BHOST
And the show became the most important part of their early careers, and eventually they went on to create and star, uh, in projects like Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
Leah BHOST
They had White Chicks, Scary Movies, and other, and they also had The Wayans Brothers TV show on The WB as well.
Leah BHOST
I liked, um, The Wayans Brothers.
Leah BHOST
That was my show back in the day.
Leah BHOST
So he contributed his musical and character sketches until the show went off the air in '94.
Leah BHOST
So he was, you know, went on to create The Jamie Foxx Show and, and whatnot.
Leah BHOST
I love that show too as well, which ran for five seasons on the, um, WB.
Leah BHOST
And he also, after the show went off the air, he was able to land dramatic roles.
James DarnellHOST
So they play like reruns of like Law & Order and Chicago PD and stuff like that.
James DarnellHOST
Uh, but right here it says that it started in 2006 by FOX to fill a gap left when UPN and The WB merged into The CW.
James DarnellHOST
So it was essentially to replace The CW, which I guess WB had just left.
James DarnellHOST
So like it seems like that would be a perfect place to go, right? It's kinda like, um, I don't know if it's a challenger network, but that's kinda like the idea I think, right?
John BludHOST
That's what it feels like, right? You're taking like CW's what I assume was their top program and trying to make your own thing with it.
Jesse Lewis IVGUEST
And it was like a Reading Rainbow, LeVar Burton kind of spinoff.
Jesse Lewis IVGUEST
It was on the Warner Brothers Network.
Jesse Lewis IVGUEST
