History Creator / TheWB

The network is remembered differently depending on how old you are. A lot of African-American teenagers and young adults that were around during the network's launch will remember the assortment of [[SitCom sitcoms]] and [[DomCom dom coms]] the network had to offer such as ''Series/TheParentHood'', ''Series/TheWayansBros'' and ''Series/SisterSister'', the last of which [[ChannelHop moved from ABC]]. Kids in the mid-'90s fondly remember The WB as the host network for ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' after it was acquired from Fox, along with other Creator/StevenSpielberg-helmed {{Saturday morning cartoon}}s such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' and the ''Animaniacs'' spin-off ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''. [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Mexican kids in the mid-'90s]] might remember it for being the first channel to air ''Series/BeakmansWorld'', which was one of the earliest {{Science Show}}s to air in the country. Kids in the late '90s and early 2000s remember it for pretty much dedicating Saturday mornings to [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] with ''Anime/{{Pokemon|The Series}}'' and ''Anime/YuGiOh''. Teenagers during the late '90s or early 2000s will remember it for giving the world such {{teen drama}}s as ''Series/SeventhHeaven'', ''Series/DawsonsCreek'', ''Series/{{Everwood}}'' and ''Series/OneTreHill'' -- shows that the network is, without a doubt, most famous for. Still others (teenagers and genre fans alike) remember the network for ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Roswell}}'' until those two series were picked up -- perhaps ironically, in hindsight -- by UPN (The WB still held onto ''Series/{{Angel}}'' at least).

And of course, many still remember it for turning the [[OneSceneWonder one-toon wonder]] [[WesternAnimation/OneFroggyEvening Michigan J. Frog]] [[BreakoutCharacter into a household name]] while at the same time reducing him into a cheap corporate shill for the network (to the point where some TV writers and announcers referred to The WB as "The Frog"). The frog quietly exited the stage from advertisements and promotions during the last two years of the network's life (though [[BackForTheFinale his image]] was [[TearJerker among the last transmitted by the network]]; the last thing shown before the network was officially shut down were the end credits of the pilot episode of ''Dawson's Creek'').
