The WB Celebrates Turkey Day with Friends, The OC, and More
Over the course of its 10 seasons, Friends served up some pretty classic Thanksgiving episodes. Now, with this year's turkey day fast approaching, The WB.com has put all nine of the Thanksgiving episodes together in one place.
Yes, that includes the football game episode from the third season and — maybe biggest of all — the Brad Pitt appearance from season eight, which not only just shook things up at the friends' Thanksgiving dinner but also got Pitt an Emmy nomination.
The WB is Back — Online
Who didn't love at least one show on The WB? Back in the day, it was the one network that spoke to my generation, with shows like Dawson's Creek, Felicity, and Gilmore Girls all reaching the ranks of must-see TV. But ratings dropped over the years, and in 2006, The WB and and UPN merged into the new CW; The WB was no more.
What Was Your Favorite WB Show?
The WB network, once home of greats like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek, met its demise in 2006 when the CW was formed. But starting next month, the WB will be revived — this time as a website that will stream classic WB series and new content from producers including Josh Schwartz and McG.
It's not clear yet exactly which shows will end up on the site (I'm assuming the popular ones are a lock — but what about the short-lived ones like Grosse Point?) The site will also show series produced by Warner Bros.
