Gossip Girl has never lived up to its hype, as OC never did. The show was never going to be a big hit, the demos were supposed to be the main strength, but even those can't be THAT good when the overall ratings are so terrible.

They didn't cancel those for Dawson's Creek. DC had already been on for two seasons by the spring of '99. Sister, Sister, really, had reached its shelf-life by that point, and the Mowry sisters were ready to be more independent (the whole final season or two just screams "I've got my style!!".....literally, listen to the theme song). Smart Guy was never a big hit, even by WB's then-standards. The Wayans Bros. deserved at least two or three more seasons as it was better than The Jamie Foxx Show and The Steve Harvey Show, and they both lasted until the early '00s.

The WB, IMO, had a good mix and was it's best from around 1997 until 2000. That's when they had the most variety in regards to genres, target audiences, etc.

FOX, on the other hand? Once we hit Y2K, they just stopped giving a damn about anyone but young white males. Idol is their "family" show and that's it.

I know they weren't cancelled for Dawson's Creek, I meant to say that once that show took off they dropped those sitcoms to go chase after the audience Dawson's Creek was bringing in, and began to push shows like Dawson's Creek, 7th Heaven, Angel, Charmed, etc. into the forefront while their sitcoms faded into oblivion.

LMAO at all those specials...

:lol: Fox was such a mess then.

And let's not forget stupid shows like My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee' :rolleyes:

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
