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.

Scott Speedman was popularly known for his role as Ben Covington on the series Felicity, which starred Keri Russell as the title character. He was Felicity’s primary reason to move to New York. In contrast to Felicity, he kept his feelings bottled up to himself. He had a complicated family life and often made hasty decisions, which he would regret later on. But in the course of the series, Ben’s true emotions and sensitivity eventually came out.

Tangi Miller drew much attention when she was cast on the series Felicity. Her exposure on the drama series as Elena Tyler enabled her to be named as one of TV Guide’s Sexiest Faces. For four years, she played the smart and stylish character. She was Felicity's first lab partner who appeared to be fiercely competitive. Eventually, she became one of Felicity’s closest friends.
