WB’S VIEWERS SAVE 3 SHOWS<\/strong>
\nBy DON KAPLAN<\/p>\nALIENS will be orbiting the WB next fall when “Roswell” comes back for its second season – but not before at least one red-hot intergalactic visitor shows some skin on the cover of next month’s Maxim magazine.<\/p>\n
The June issue – which hits newsstands later this week – has an 11-page
\npictorial featuring a slew of women from the WB’s prime-time lineup in
\nnear-nude poses.<\/p>\nThe network announces its new Fall lineup today.<\/p>\n
Besides “Roswell,” other notable returns are “Popular” and “Felicity.” All
\nthree shows, which were facing cancellation, are back in the wake of
\naggressive viewer campaigns.<\/p>\nNew shows include a drama called “The Gilmore Girls” on Thursday nights, “Grosse Pointe” – a drama from “Melrose Place” and “Sex and the City” creator Darren Star – on Fridays, a sketch comedy show called “Hype” on Sundays and “Nikki,” a comedy starring vixen Nikki Cox.<\/p>\n
The WB’s Friday-night block of black-themed comedies such as “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Steve Harvey,” and “For Your Love,” move to Sundays and starts at 7 p.m. – together with “The PJs,” the animated Eddie Murphy comedy that aired on Fox last year.<\/p>\n
Fridays will now feature “Sabrina, The Teenage Witch” – formally an ABC
\nmainstay – “Grosse Point” and “Popular.”<\/p>\nNot returning to the schedule: “7th Heaven Beginnings,” “Zoe,” “D.C.” and the failed Harry Hamlin comedy, “Movie Stars.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the white-hot Maxim magazine layout features 10 of the network’s best-known actresses – from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star Sarah Michelle Gellar to “Jamie Foxx Show” vixen Garcelle Beauvais.<\/p>\n
The pictorial includes steamy spreads and a Q&A with 21-year-old “Roswell” star Katherine Heigl, who thinks that there really are beings from other worlds on Earth.<\/p>\n
“I seriously wonder about Dennis Rodman,” Heigl says. “I mean you have to, right? He’s a little sketchy. And possibly Carmen Electra, too.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
