\nWB Unveils New Lineup
\nWednesday, May 17, 2000
\nMore Insider:MONDAYTUESDAYWEDNESDAYTHURSDAYFRIDAYWEEKEND<\/p>\nThe WB’s upcoming season will feature a “surprisingly functional” group of
\nactors portraying college students, vampires and witches, jokes Buffy the
\nVampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
\nBuffy, Dawson’s Creek, 7th Heaven and Charmed were all named as returning
\nseries at the network’s annual presentation to advertisers yesterday in New
\nYork. The Frog network also renewed freshman hits Roswell, Angel and Popular.<\/p>\n“We’re approaching another season without sweep stunts, newsmagazines,
\nspecials, reality series or even lifelines,” joked WB chief Susanne Daniels.<\/p>\nThe network’s seventh season kicks off in July with two new series: boarding
\nschool drama Young Americans (featuring Dawson’s Creek recurring star Rodney
\nScott) and the animated Baby Blues. Also new is the dramedy Gilmore Girls and
\nDarren Star’s Grosse Pointe, a comedy about what really goes on behind the
\nscenes at a soap.<\/p>\nHoping to beef up its comedy programming, WB has picked up ABC’s Sabrina, the
\nTeenage Witch starring Melissa Joan Hart. Hart accidentally said, “It’s great
\nto move to Fox, uh, the WB.” Eddie Murphy’s animated The PJs moves from Fox
\nto WB \u2014 no wonder Hart is confused. Nikki Cox (last seen on Norm) stars in
\nNikki, and some ex-Mad TV writers will present the sketch show Hype.<\/p>\nIn an unusual move, Felicity returns to Wednesdays for 11 weeks through
\nDecember. In January, Jack and Jill takes over for 13 weeks and then Felicity
\nreturns in April. This will give WB viewers 35 consecutive weeks of original
\nprogramming and a lot of time for Keri Russell’s hair to grow back. \u2014 Eddie
