Comment: ((NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Warner Brothers and CBS Corp. announced plans Tuesday for the creation of a new broadcast television network, called CW, that would replace the WB and UPN networks in the fall of this year.))
Together, they can come up with bad Ideas even faster.

Given that UPN was just full of bad shows, let’s go through some of UPN’s cancelled shows.
Nowhere Man: Ah, yes, the show that went nowhere. Every episode ended with the main hero jumping out of a window, running away. I guess he’s still running away after the series was cancelled.
Marker: Starring Richard Grieco (Uh, 21 Jump street and uh, well that’s it.) and Dr. Crusher. The show lasted only as long as Grieco’s career after 21 Jump Street. Gone and forgotten by most.
Legend: This one was a Western with Richard Dean Anderson playing yet another MacGyver type, also starring Q. It wasn’t very good. Of course he went on to make it big again with Stargate SG1.
The Sentinel: What would happen if a cop receives the powers of animal senses? The show will get cancelled.
Deadly Games: This about some real life videogame with Christopher Lloyd. I’m sure Doc Brown wishes he could go back in time and prevent himself from making this turd smelling show. “Great Scott!”
Game Over: What happens when you turn off your favorite videogames characters? They get cancelled.
Homeboys in Outer Space: Screw you UPN, this crap was terrible!
Jake 2.0: Jake ME and XP were also cancelled due to bugs in his software.
Love Boat: The Next Wave: Did we really need another Love Boat show. The old one wasn’t good, so why remake it? If you copy something that was already bad and cheesy, the remake will be bad and cheesy. “That’s not fuzzy math.”
Mercy Point: Think ER, but in space and cancelled.
The Mullets: Keep you’re dumb blue-collar Middle American crap to yourself, buddy.
The Parkers: Part of UPN’s attempt at being “urban”. It was a spin-off from Moesha
Platypus Man: A sitcom, one of the very first ones from UPN. It was bad, but still better than Friends.
Rock Me Baby: Kind of like a Howard Stern knock off…sucked.
Seven Days: Lasted about 7 days as a show. This one wasn’t bad. Didn’t make much sense, but it was still pretty good. Someone please turn down the cross-colors please this isn’t the 90s anymore, oy.

7 days, gone. (Those actors are still stand there, in the same place, no one told them the show was canned years ago.)

Uh, Homeboys in Outer Space: Insult to everyone from blacks to whites. BTW: Scotty was on this show for a bit, until Rick Berman had the producers remove his character. Smart move for real.
