The WB Returns!

With the CW flailing in the ratings race (some nights it doesn't even manage a 1 rating) something interesting is about to happen online.

Get ready for the return of The WB.

Warner Bros. announced today that they're putting together a nostalgic website (tentatively wb.com) that will feature advertiser supported episodes of Warner Bros. produced series that ran on the little network we miss so much.

Let's face it, The CW knows young and stylin' about as well as CBS does. Could that be because CBS owns 50% - yeah, probably so.

There's no word yet whether old WB shows that were produced by outside studios (BUFFY or ANGEL were produced by 20th Television) will be included, but there is an expectation that new micro-series will be available, featuring 5 minute long episodes of programs that would have been at home on the old WB.

Here's to hoping Michigan J. Frog will be back at work soon.

Will it work? Who knows? But, God bless 'em for trying. The WB's presence is sorely lacking on TV today. A rebirth online would be kinda cool.

That website again: dubba-dubba-dubba-wb.com.

Dig it.
