Remembering the WB

SInce the new cw launched last nite with the premiere of Americas next top model. The WB is offically gone. Kinda sad I did watch the channel so I figured I'd talk about the network.

When it was at it's peak every show would have the featuring the following music part at the end. Almost all the shows took place in some small town or something. I don't think many of those shows lasted if they weren't titled Dawsons Creek.
They also had alot of nerd shows from Buffy to Roswell to Angel to Smallville. They knew how to make a good sci fi show. All though Smallville obviously had the flaw that Clark should wear glass's.
I think the network will always be thought of as a teen network and really in the late 90's and early 00's it was but it got alot better towards the end with shows liek everwood and gilmore girls both really good shows that weren't nessarily only aimed at teens. Everwood ended unforently but both were some of the best dramas on tv.
I dson't know the wb was always made fun of for being awful and hopefully the cw will let the wb and upn become more then the straight to video networks they are but you never know it could just stay the same.
That doesn't matter I guess the wb was a coo idea and now like every network has a teen drama in 1997 you didn't get shit at the time it was really crazy but with the n and teen nick and a million other things I guess it's not as special
