UPN<br \/>\nand the WB, the two mini-networks that seem to be<br \/>\ncaught in<br \/>\na duel to the death, got the fireworks started<br \/>\nearly this year.<br \/>\nReferring to the fact that UPN has acquired the WB<br \/>\nshows<br \/>\n&#8220;Buffy the Vampire Slayer&#8221; and &#8220;Roswell,&#8221; a WB<br \/>\npublic-relations executive came up with a new<br \/>\nnickname for<br \/>\nUPN-the Used-Parts Network. The next day, a UPN<br \/>\nexec<br \/>\nresponded by saying that, considering the quality<br \/>\nof the WB&#8217;s<br \/>\nnew lineup of sitcoms, perhaps it should hire the<br \/>\nnetwork&#8217;s PR<br \/>\nstaff to punch up of the network&#8217;s comedies.
