Members DRW50 Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 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.

Members All My Shadows Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'll hate on CW's ridiculousness as much as the next person, but I'll never ever say a bad word about Thursdays. OK, one bad thing. Whitley is NOT old enough to be someone's grandmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 My ma was a gran at 35. How old is Whitley's grandkid on the show? Jasmine's pushing 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Leia Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 17 I think. Either she had horrible makeup or Whitley looked old enough to be her grandmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah, she's been ill with lupus I read, it's aged her. Then again, she's 48, light-skinned, and lived in sunny L.A. for years, she's not going to age as well as Charnele Brown for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 Will never forget how they canned The Wayans Bros., Sister Sister, Smart Guy, and The Parent 'Hood all in 1999. And for what? Dawson's Creek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 Fox was worse. It screwed THREE hit shows because they were minority shows & hasn't recovered since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 The Parent Hood.....I f-in loved that show. It had so much potential but they didnt let it grow. It was REALLY good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 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... When Animals Go Wild Busted & Disgusted Weddings From Hell Fox was such a mess then. And let's not forget stupid shows like My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
