A Recipie For Classic Television

When we saw today's no. 2 link, which details the merging of two anemic TV networks, UPN and WB, to form a network that will either be doubly anemic or 50 percent less anemic than the two were seperately, we couldn't help but think of ways to also combine some of their best programs. What they should really do is have just one three hour-long show that stars Tyra Banks, Alyssa Milano and the woman who plays the mom on "Gilmore Girls," as three sassy, sexy detectives who use magic to solve fashion show mysteries and are always there for each other when times get rough. And fair warning: We will sue for royalties if "The CW," as they're calling the new network, starts production on this show without us. Bloggers are kind of split on the announcement: This post is a sober dissection of possibilities and unanswered questions, whereas this one cracks wise. Full rundown of reactions is here, and we are not kidding about this Banks-Milano-woman from "Gillmore Girls" project -- it's getting made.
