When Networks Tried: The WB
May. 20th, 2013 03:56 pmWas lurking elsewhere and someone linked to one of the WB's farewell videos and after taking a moment to weep like a little girl, I then lost the next hour to looking at the various WB upfront/image campaign/back lot videos.
I'd ask if you remember them, but dude, we go through this at least once every two years so odds are good you probably do. :P I'm just miffed that I can never find semi decent quality versions on YT, though I suspect it's because of copyright issues.
Say what you will about the content of any given WB show (some we'll rumble over, some we'll agree on, and some we'll probably say, "oh yeah, that was a thing, wasn't it?") but their image campaigns were usually brilliant.
1999 is particularly fabulous. Everyone involved in this deserved a raise. And possibly a pony, if that's what they wanted. I loved the whole idea this thing was selling, even though I know I was being sold an idea/story, but who doesn't want their favorites from one show hanging out with their favorites from another? Who didn't want to believe the WB was running one super awesome party behind the scenes at least for a little bit? Just me? Fair enough... because I already know that's not true. There's too much love for these things even after more than a decade.
( I spent too much time doing this. WHY. )
I might still have something in my eye, all the way from back in 2006, okay?
