I love the CW for bringing me Gossip Girl and for having the guts to resurrect 90210, but there's no denying that the network pales in comparison to the glory days of the WB. For those of us who were teenagers in the '90s the WB was a truly special network. They brought us such classic shows as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dawson's Creek, Gilmore Girls and Felicity, and such charmingly forgettable fare as Blue Collar TV, The Mountain, Tarzan and Black Sash. It's hard not to feel affection for that bygone era, even if it did produce atrocities like 7th Heaven.
The WB may no longer exist on television, but it's currently enjoying a resurrection on the Internet. TheWB.com launched yesterday and features full episodes of many of the shows mentioned above, as well as games, a blog, desktop wallpapers and some original web series.
