What’s this? A WB Wednesday post? It’s been almost an entire year since my last one, but a certain CW show (and a Twitter convo with @TVandDinners) inspired me. What does that have to do with the WB? To explain that, I have to start with Gossip Girl. It’s been a long time since I’ve [...]

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Katie Holmes in a role I’ve genuinely liked. I didn’t dislike her Eli Stone guest spot, but she wasn’t there long enough to make an impact. I didn’t dislike her in Thank You For Smoking, but that’s because the movie is great, not because she was especially [...]

Before the age of DVRs, I used to watch commercials. In fact, during certain times of the season, I used to sit glued to the TV during commercials. I didn’t run to grab a snack or take a bathroom break. I sat, watched and waited with the VCR — that’s the thing that uses videotapes [...]

Last week, I attended Dawson’s Creek: A Look Back at the Paley Center. The event was held in honor of the complete series DVD release on Nov. 10. The night started off with a screening of the pilot, which held up remarkably well. Sure, a few music cues and lines were cheesy, but for the [...]

Tonight, I will be attending the Dawson’s Creek panel at the Paley Center. It’s also a Wednesday, which means it’s time for another edition of WB Wednesday. I thought it be fitting then to do a list of my top 10 favorite Dawson’s Creek episodes. Some are great episodes overall. Some have moments or storylines [...]

Updated 10/28/09 – Meredith Monroe has been added to the lineup. It’s pretty unusual to have an emotional attachment to a network. But for me, and many others, that’s exactly what happened when the WB came into my life. I grew up with the WB. It wasn’t just a cultural touchstone, it was a personal [...]

Last month, MTV announced that it would remake the British teen drama Skins, which is currently airing its third season on BBC America. Co-creator Brian Elsley will write and executive produce the American version, adopting the original’s model of hiring unknown teenagers to write and star in the series. The U.S. version will be set [...]

Next season, The CW will introduce Life UneXpected, a heartfelt midseason entry that may remind some viewers of the network’s predecessor, The WB. The resemblance to the shows that defined the WB is not unjustified. Creator Liz Tigelaar’s college internship at Dawson’s Creek turned into a staff job, where she worked alongside Greg Berlanti. She [...]

Fans of Everwood can rejoice. Season two of the series recently came out on DVD after a five year wait, but it doesn’t look like we’ll have to wait quite as long for the rest of the series. When asked if fans of the show will be getting the rest of episodes on DVD, creator [...]

Dick Wolf, David E. Kelley, Shonda Rhimes and Joss Whedon have all done it. You may be wondering what IT is exactly. They’ve all at some time point created a spin-off or expanded their TV show into a franchise (see Law & Order). They’ve all done crossovers between their shows, if you count the backdoor [...]
