Crappy Station To Merge With Other Crappy Station To Make One Big Crappy Station

In a move that will make Justin Timberlake fans across the world wet their pants on the way to their Jr. High basketball game, the WB has merged with the UPN.
The new network — to be called The CW — will debut on many former affiliates, ... Executives for CBS and Warner Bros. Entertainment said Tuesday that The CW will offer the most popular shows from UPN and The WB — programming largely targeted at the hard-to-reach 18-34 age demographic — including "America's Next Top Model," "Smallville," "Veronica Mars," "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Reba."
"The CW is going to be a real competitor, a destination for young audiences, diverse audiences, and a real favorite with advertisers," said Leslie Moonves, president and CEO of CBS, which has owned UPN since 2002. "The CW will be able to do something truly remarkable: program already-hit shows every single day of the week, programs that consistently rank No. 1 or No. 2 in their time slots in the most coveted young-adult demographic."

The spooky thing about this is that it just might work.
You know, I’ve always had this idea going around in my head for a great program that would fit very well on this network- Star Fleet Academy. Take some good looking young actors (probably Canadian, they’re always Canadian) and do a Star Trek show based on their experiences at the Academy. You’ll get the afore mentioned Timberlake fans plus the legions of Trek fans… pure ratings gold baby. I’ve heard that was the original idea behind the last franchise (the one with that guy from Quantum Leap) but it was played around with a little too much and they wound up with something not very successful.
They really need to listen to me.

Comments:
I heard "The CW" and the first thing I thought of was CW McCall, the man who brought us Convoy.

How old am I?
