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.

This little clip of an animated version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been making the rounds on the Internet, and for good reason: It's completely fascinating to see what a cartoon Sunnydale, filled with two-dimensional Buffy, Willow, Giles, and friends, might have looked like had it ever been made into a series.
Alas, the project — which counted among its writers Buffy's Jane Espenson — never came to be, so this little three-minute clip may be all we'll ever see. But at least it's something, right?

Calling all Coneheads fans and folks who thought Buffy was funny even before she got a regular TV series: HBO has a movie lineup just for you. Starting bright and early tomorrow, the network is declaring a Classic Comedy Day, airing a half-dozen movies from the late '80s and early '90s back-to-back.
The day kicks off with Coneheads at 6:30 a.m.

Little Britain's Matt Lucas and David Walliams (whose stalker has been sectioned) were the subject of Channel 4's New Heroes Of Comedy documentary last night. The repeat run of the three-part series featured Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen in previous weeks, and celebrates the success of some of our best-loved modern day comedians. I'm a big fan of all of these funny men and would love to know which is your favourite, so tell me: who is your new hero of comedy?

How many of you caught the ad for JJ Abrams' Fall show Fringe during American Idol last night? I think it looks pretty good, so I'm excited Fox is preparing for a potentially one-two punch when they roll out a sci-fi thriller from Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) come mid-season. This means that if both Fringe and Dollhouse are as good as they look I'm going to be spending a lot of time over at Fox this year.

Fox revealed its Fall TV schedule at the 2008 upfronts this morning, announcing two new shows and the two-hour "telefilm" 24 prequel that will air in November before the regular (much delayed) new season of the show starts up again in January 2009.
The Fox show getting the most buzz this upfront season (and the basket in which Fox is placing all its eggs) is the J.J. Abrams drama Fringe (featuring Joshua Jackson — yay, Pacey!) which will follow House (in a new spot) on Tuesday nights.

Earlier today, I told you about some of the greatest moments from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion at the Paley Festival in Los Angeles. There were so many good moments (and a few awkward ones) that they couldn't fit in one post, so here are a few more of the highlights:

PaleyFest: The Buffy Cast Reunites: Okay, I am one jealous person right now, because my lovely American pal Buzz got to sit in on the Buffy cast reunion in LA yesterday. Sarah, Nicholas, Seth, Charisma and Joss were just a few of the stars and masterminds that got together for the exciting event, and it sounds like it was fascinating (not to mention entertaining!). Buzz has her first post about the event up now, so read on to find out what they talked about!
Buffy, Tara, Spike, and Xander, together again! A large part of the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer took the stage Thursday night at the PaleyFest in Los Angeles, revealing some secrets from their eight years of working on the series and taking questions from appreciative fans who often credited Buffy with shaping their whole lives.
And when I say appreciative, there really should be a capital A.
