In the middle of the show, Carrie from your math class calls,<br \/>\ndesperatley looking for homework help.

They&#8217;re adding<br \/>\nMichelle Trachtenberg (as a psychic sidekick) and J. August Richards (as a<br \/>\nstreet-savvy vampire hunter), respectively, to the Tuesday-night<br \/>\ndemon-slaying duo of Buffy and Angel.<\/p>\n<p>Roswell is also getting a harder sci-fi edge. That means scaled back<br \/>\nintergalactic smoochin&#8217; between Max and Liz and more focus on<br \/>\nextraterrestrial action to attract a wider audience. Will the makeover work?<br \/>\nWho knows? But the retooled series better not anger its Tabasco-wielding<br \/>\nfans, or the show&#8217;s execs may end up soaking in hot sauce.<br \/>\nE! Online<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an older article but still note-worthy that scott73 sent in :)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>http:\/\/scifi.ign.com\/tv\/2649.html<\/p>\n<p>TV: Angel, Roswell Score in the Ratings Game<\/p>\n<p>The WB&#8217;s much-hyped premieres deliver big numbers.<\/p>\n<p>October 8, 1999<\/p>\n<p>Turns out that Buffy&#8217;s boyfriend can make it just fine on his own. The WB&#8217;s Tuesday premiere of Angel garnered the network its best-ever ratings among men 18-49, and teamed with Buffy to deliver the WB&#8217;s best-ever Tuesday average with adults 18-49.<br \/>\nMake no mistake &#8212; those bratty, tormented upstarts on Dawson&#8217;s Creek and Felicity may get all the Teen People covers, but Buffy and Angel deliver the numbers. And actually, the Buff-ster has been known to pop up on a Teen People cover or two. The premiere of Angel built on its Buffy lead-in (6.79 million viewers, 3.0 rating\/9 share), capturing 7.47 million viewers and a 3.1 rating, 8 share in adults 18-49. On a related note, the net&#8217;s Wednesday debut of Roswell gave the WB its second strongest premiere ever in total viewers and adults 18-34 (6.71 million, 3.0\/8), and built considerably on its Dawson&#8217;s lead-in.<\/p>\n<p>In a mind-boggling twist, the show that still holds the record for the net&#8217;s highest premiere numbers is the abysmal Charmed &#8212; apparently, the Halliwell sisters&#8217; witchcraft has some sort of unexplained, hypnotic effect on the otherwise sane, TV-watching public. Or maybe it&#8217;s just Shannen Doherty&#8217;s cleavage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Faile for this :)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Live! Grill, Gossip and Gripe About All Things TV<\/p>\n<p>This week: Midriffs, pecs, cleavage and belly buttons&#8211;life on the WB is<br \/>\ngetting mighty interesting<br \/>\nSeen the WB&#8217;s new season yet? Add a little &#8220;wocka-chicka-wow&#8221; music, and it<br \/>\ncould pass for late-night Cinemax.<\/p>\n<p>It must&#8217;ve been one helluva crazy summer, because suddenly, the innocent<br \/>\ndarlings of Dawson&#8217;s Creek, Roswell and even Sabrina, the Teenage Witch look<br \/>\nlike sex kittens headed for a swingers club.<\/p>\n<p>If you saw the premieres, you had to notice the change. The Creek had that<br \/>\neye-popping skinfest of a beach scene, with the guys (including Real World&#8217;s<br \/>\nDanny Roberts) sans shirts and the girls in itty-bitty bikinis. (Who knew<br \/>\nMeredith Monroe had such big&#8230;talent?) Plus, Katie Holmes spent the whole<br \/>\nhour in a tight skirt and backless tank&#8211;just the outfit for manning a<br \/>\nsailboat and schlubbing around Capeside.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetie-pie Sabrina is also all sexed up. Somewhere along the road from<br \/>\nABC&#8217;s T.G.I.F, the witchy woman must&#8217;ve hit the party circuit, because<br \/>\nMelissa Joan Hart&#8217;s sporting heavier makeup, leather pants and peekaboo<br \/>\nmidriffs galore. Even spunky little Punky, Soleil Moon Frye, is bustin&#8217; out<br \/>\nall over. Still, Roswell takes the cake for drastic change. It seems feisty,<br \/>\nshort-haired Majandra Delfino has taken out stock in Miracle Grow (for her<br \/>\nhair) and hairbands (to wear as skirts);<\/p>\n<p>Brendan Fehr has dropped his signature spikes for a sexy Rob Thomas-esque<br \/>\n&#8216;do; and the other girls&#8211;Katherine Heigl, Emilie deRavin and Shiri<br \/>\nAppleby&#8211;have bigger hair, twice the makeup and tighter, shinier clothes.<br \/>\nTitillating, sure. But it gets downright silly in the second ep, when we see<br \/>\na shirtless Jason Behr running through the streets of Roswell, with sweat<br \/>\nglistening off his pecs and the hussied-up girls giving some kind of sex<br \/>\nshow inside the Crashdown Cafe. And what absolutely kills me is they wear<br \/>\nthe same skimpy getups to sniff out evil in treacherous locales.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s no secret that sex sells, and if the WB can boost ratings this way,<br \/>\nwithout letting the quality slide, more power to &#8217;em. All I ask is that they<br \/>\nuse the money they&#8217;re saving on fabric to hire back Meredith, Amy Jo Johnson<br \/>\nand Marc Blucas when their shows start to tank without them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;TeenPeople&#8221; Nov 2000, p. 172 submitted by MyrnaLynne Question of the Month: What&#8217;s Your Lucky Charm?
