A long time ago... we used to be friends...
I don't know what it is about the CW and its predecessors, but I watched a handful of their shows for quite some time (Buffy, Angel, Felicity, and most recently the Gilmore Girls). I guess it was about time that I found a new CW show to follow.
A few weeks (months?) ago I shared a few beers with the Squirrel, and he expressed surprise that I was't already watching Veronica Mars. Having caught a handful of season 3 episodes on the CW, I decided that I had to watch the series from the beginning, thanks much to Netflix for having TV series rentals!
Over the years, I've watched quite a few shows that started on the WB/UPN (Buffy, Felicity, Angel, Gilmore Girls) and I guess they all seem to have the same underlying characteristic of sarcasm and witty biting dialogue that just seems to be lacking on the major networks. How I Met Your Mother might be close, but that's pretty much it.. I wonder if Firefly would have made it on the CW, instead of Fox. Could it be possible that being on the CW actually makes certain types of shows more likely to succeed? I'm glad I didn't get sucked into One Tree Hill after talking to The Vet and her hubby.
In any case, while the WB/UPN have been gone for a while, it's good to see you again as the CW. Hello again, old friend.
