HOw silly, especially since this season is better than the last one.

The ratings have been consistently higher than the last couple seasons and the show has been getting all sorts of rave reviews. It's really dumb.

I honestly think the WB is responding to a conservative push from a certain segment. They're putting out the most Wonderbread programming imaginable.

Re:

There are a few wild theories floating around. One is that the WB is getting back at Joss & Fox for Buffy going to UPN (when the WB didn't want to pay what Fox wanted). The other is that they are trying to leverage David Boreanaz into doing Superman.

My thought is that it's just too expensive for them. I mean, hell, they still have Charmed, which, well, is lame.

It's sad when taking Shannen Doherty out of a show makes it really stupid. And yes, the show has never been very good, but the few shows I saw when they had her character on them were much less hokey.

That's because Shannen does dark and light really really well. The rest of them? Not so much. Pretty much all of their episodes are stunts now. The Legend of Sleepy Haliwell??? I Dream of Phoebe?!?!???

Whatever.

Yeah, I saw those previews. I snorted derisively, too.
