WB Promo - Sunday Lineup (2002) PIX Promos & More 2023-11-04 | By this point in time, The WB's Sunday night was (largely) a comedy night; Up to/including mainstays like Steve Harvey (with Hair) & Jamie Foxx, but also a show called "Pop Stars" that was designed to cash in on Hip & Trendy teen music of the day (and if you can remember who "Eden's Crush" was, Congratulations on your membership to AARP)ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED
WB Promo - Glory Days (2002) PIX Promos & More 2023-11-04 | Still another TV show I either never heard of or blotted out from my memory; But because Kevin Williamson was one of the Major reasons why the WB even Had an audience thanks to Dawson's Creek, the network decided to stay in business with him. Reading up on what the premise of this show was, I'd like to think "Glory Days" walks so that "Supernatural" could run.(NOTE: I had no control over the aspect ratio in this ad)ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED

WB Promo - 7th Heaven (2006) PIX Promos & More 2023-09-27 | Prepare to be slightly confused...Yes, this is a Promo plugging the long-running show's SERIES Finale, BUT in an 11th hour appeal from Viewers and/or possibly the fact that they didn't have enough programming slots to fill for the upcoming CW network later that fall, the show actually Returned for one FINAL Season for 2006-07...but don't let the Pomp & Circumstances here fool you.ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED

1500 SUBSCRIBER SPECIAL - Dawsons Creek finale bits (2003) PIX Promos & More 2023-09-26 | Hey! Whatta'ya know, I'm actually awake for a milestone this time!For those who are just joining us, This page is largely devoted to Bits & Pieces from WPIX and (Largely) their Independent years...but it almost seems impossible these days to mention PIX and NOT Think of the 11 years that they were a beacon for Teenyboppers as flagship station of The WB Television Network (Now The CW, and soon to be an even bigger shell of its former self).So with that in mind; in a recent Yard Sale haul, I came across the Final episode of what would turn out to be one of the most pivotal series The WB would ever air. Yeah, sure, there's Buffy, Felicity, 7th Heaven, Angel, Wayans Bros, Unhappily Ever After, etc. but it was Dawson's Creek that turned the network's fortunes around when it premiered in 1998. The following are a string of KIA sponsored Remembrances the cast members had when the show's finale aired on May 14th, 2003.As always, thank you for sticking around for This long; and stay tuned, because there will be about a Dozen more WB Bits to come in the coming weeks...Dubba, Dubba...ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED

WPIX Sign On/Tech Difficulties Slide + Tom & Jerry open 1988 PIX Promos & More 2023-08-30 | Jumpy tape be Damned, I HAD to post this. Elsewhere on YT, somebody (I believe tapthatt2012) had posted a Similar (and much cleaner) version of PIX's sign-on bumper of the late 80s. This bumper is probably best known for the piece of music it used as it was signing on. A Classical instrumental piece called "Mercury" from "The Planets" by Gustav Holst.Anyway, That video is about 1 minute 40 sec...This one beats it by about a minute more, features more music and even comes with a Pepsi Bumper goof...In short, this video is a hot mess; so to make it up to you, I've also included the opening to the syndicated Tom & Jerry Reruns they aired at the time...Enjoy!ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED
