The WB is Back... and as corny as ever

So the web re-launch of the WB is apparently up and at 'em. They sent me a nice e-mail reminding me to check out the site and when I signed on I was greeted with: "Word Up, SoulHonky! Have you met the sultry vixens of Sorority Forever yet?"

Really? "Word Up"? They greet you with a phrase that was already played out when the WB network first launched? Not a good sign. Another issue was that I couldn't get the videos to play on Firefox. Then again, Firefox is pretty much a disaster of late and I did get to see the trailer for "Sorority Forever" on Safari. The show looks like your standard soap opera. Nothing in the trailer really made it seem like something to look forward to.

I tried watching "Whatever Hollywood". It's basically a show about three girls making videos for their website. Two of the first three videos are "comedic" "rap" songs and that's basically all you need to know. Isn't about time that people stop thinking rap songs about random every day things is high comedy? Well, I guess if you think greeting people with "Word Up!" is cool, the answer's probably a no.

On the bright side, The Jeanie Tate Show is pretty funny. (I tried to embed it but it wasn't loading so here's the link.)

Still, nothing on the WB can top their greeting, if just because it got me to google the Cameo song and find the old classic. I'm sure the girls at "Whatever Hollywood" will find some "new" material in this video. (Although getting a LeVar Burton cameo wouldn't be a bad idea).
