The WB: A couple of froggy surprises

After much hinting and telegraphing, neither of The WB's highly touted pilots of classic TV remakes (Dark Shadows, & John Woo's The Robinsons: Lost in Space) made the Frog's fall schedule.

Two new shows that I am looking forward to are slated to join Smallville on Wednesday, though.

Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy will headline The Blue Collar Comedy Tour, based on their successful comedy tour. The stand-up series is a departure for series television, but given the success of the original tour, this looks like it could have some serious potential.

Drew Carey's Green Screen Improv Show takes off on the improvisational talents of Carey and some of his familiar cohorts (Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops & others) from the US run of Who's Line Is It Anyway.
