Buffy Makes List Of "50 Best Dramas Ever"

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

buffycast

AOL TV has put together a list of the 50 Best Television dramas ever, and since it is on the internet the rankings are official. Buffy The Vampire Slayer got the #26 slot, with AOL saying:

“It’s the simple, yet spot-on accuracy of comparing teen life to Hell that’s the true genius of Joss Whedon’s masterpiece.”

Other than Buffy, AOL didn’t have a lot of love for The WB shows. We will keep that fact in mind when we do our list of the 50 greatest websites, AOL.

Everwood Season 2 comes to DVD

Monday, March 9th, 2009

everwood If you’re a fan of Everwood, or maybe just a fan of beards, there’s some good news today. The full 2nd season of Everwood is going to be available on DVD starting June 16th. Fans have been waiting quite a while for this set, since the complete first season came out way back in 2004. You can ever pre-order the box set now.

As always, we continue to have full episodes right here on The WB, which I find slightly more environmentally friendly.

Padalecki Vs. Jason: The Interview

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

You might remember Jared Padalecki as dreamy Dean on Gilmore Girls.

J-Pad (if that nickname takes off, remember you heard it here first) also plays Sam Winchester on The CW’s Supernatural.

Now J-Pad is taking his boyishly tussled hair to the big screen in the Friday the 13th remake.

You can watch the teaser trailer here.

Unfortunately, Padalecki is not playing Jason Voorhees, but he is playing the lead dude.

JoBlo.com interviewed J-Pad about the horror remake, Supernatural, and going topless.

You can read the extensive interview here.

Spolier alert! Padalecki perfers “Cool Ranch” Doritos.

The WB’s Newest (And Best?) Comedy

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

You can’t tell by my writing, but I’m a big fan of comedy -  especially comedy narrated by Stephen Colbert. So of course I’m super excited that the best new comedy of the season is going to be making its home here at TheWB.com. (That’s where I work!) Behold the trailer for “Childrens’ Hospital.”

YouTube Preview Image

The man behind the Childrens’ Hospital is The Daily Show’s Rob Corddry, but it also stars Ed Helms, Megan Mullally, Stephen Colbert, and lots of other very, very funny people. I’m deeply unpopular here, so no one has told me an exact premiere date, but I overheard December.

Color Me WB

Monday, September 15th, 2008

As much as we all love each other, The WB is a pretty competitive place. We even compete for Brent’s fashion approval. Okay, so that last part isn’t true.

Today we all took the Color IQ test to see who has what it takes to be America’s Next Top Color Hue Identifier. Or something like that.

Here are the final scores, from top to bottom:

  1. Taurice (a guy across the street who I have yet to meet): 0 (PERFECT SCORE!)
  2. Kevin (Asset Manager): 4
  3. Sloane (Creative Director): 11
  4. Kathleen (Scheduling Director): 15
  5. Margaret (Art Director): 16
  6. Brian (Design Director): 16
  7. Me (some random girl): 20
  8. Tim (Coordinator): 29
  9. Brendan (Writer/Publisher): 31

Dang, yo! This isn’t good. The very two people who slave away writing content for the site clearly need to re-learn their colors.

In case you were interested, here’s who was eliminated in this round for America’s Next Top Color Hue Identifier:

  1. Tamara (Editorial Manager): She said she was taking it but never returned any of my emails, IMs or phone calls, so she probably failed it.
  2. Ben (Writer/Producer): Refused to take the test because he said he went cross-eyed from looking at it.

Next round: Mixing Primary Colors

Post your scores in the comments!

A PSA from The WB

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I read this alarming article the other day about a new book titled “Women and Religion in the West,” written by a British sociologist named Kristin Aune.

According to Aune, the popularity of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer have resulted in over 50,000 women a year to abandon their church due to the traditional, male-dominated values of their religion.

In turn, these women are “attracted by Wicca, popularised by the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

Right. Let me tell you something.

Actually, two things.

One: it’s spelled “popularized.”

Two: We here at The WB would like to remind our loyal viewers that we do not encourage any sort of abandonment (unless you’re talking about Crocs. You should really abandon those ASAP.) of any sort of organized religion. You’re free to do what you want.

We do, however, encourage you to sit at your computer and watch all the full episodes that we have to offer. Sure, you may have work to do, or data entry to log, or children to supervise, or telephones to answer—but The WB believes in having a fun time while you’re at it.

So, please. Do not believe articles and books that blame our beloved shows on social change. We just want to have fun. Online.

Don’t you?
