What Went Right:There's
alot to tell here. "Smallville" didn't drop off after a big debut,
"Gilmore
Girls" is up 60%, beating "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," "7th Heaven" is
up,
so is "Angel." "Reba" saved Friday nights, the net's first real
bonified
sitcom hit. Things look good.
What Went Wrong:Until
you hit either Thursday at 8pm or Sunday. Without there nights, the net
is averaging over 5 million viewers. Leading the underdogs on Sunday is
"Nikki" (123), network tv's lowest rated series... no wait, that honour
belongs to "Elimidate Deluxe," the Thursday series the WB cancelled
after
only 2 showings.
Cancellation Is Calling:Off
Centre, Nikki, Popstars, Felicity
Can It Fix Those Slots?It
sure is going to try. A new sitcom is coming to Sunday (plus the
returning
"For Your Love") and "Angel" could move to Thursdays.
Spring Predictions: "Angel"
will move to Thursdays, and at the end of this season, or possibly in
the
spring, the WB will ressurect its popular summer "Flix at the Frog"
movie
series on Sunday nights.
