Blue Collar TV
New Half Hour Comedy/ Thursdays at 8/7c
Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, Heath Hyche, Peter Oldring
Jeff Foxworthy's "Blue Collar Comedy Tour" joins the "Kings of Comedy" as the most successful comedy tour of all time.
It inspired Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie, the highest-rated film ever to air on Comedy Central. Its DVD sales
have soared past the million mark. This summer, Foxworthy and cohorts Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy, and a young ensemble
cast will bring their suburban sensibilities to The WB while poking fun at all things Middle America holds dear. Expect a
hometown buffet of TV parodies, sketches, and stand-up, celebrating everything from spouses to spoilers, Winnebagos to Waffle
Houses, cheap beer to even cheaper lingerie. The WB audience is about to get a 64-oz. Big Gulp of red, white, and blue collar
comedy.
Drew Carey's Green Screen
New Half Hour Comedy/ Thursdays at 8:30/7:30
Drew Carey
Drew Carey and his comic friends have a clever plan to shake up the concept of live improv comedy. Yes, he'll have his
performers act out quirky ideas suggested by an audience ("You're getting married underwater and are attacked by a giant squid.").
But, with the aid of green screen, Drew's behind-the-scenes team will animate the skits, creating an actual improvised movie
- bringing to life what's really going on inside their vivid imaginations. It promises to be a very fun and lively marriage
of improv and animation as only Drew Carey could pull off.
Studio 7
New Hour Reality Series/ Thursdays at 9/8c
Producer Michael Davies (Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?) is taking his acclaimed showmanship into new territory
for The WB. His premise: What happens when you mix the reality and game show genres and produce a quiz show presented from
the contestant's point of view? Introducing Studio 7, a radical new series that pits seven bright young adults
against each other. Seven grueling elimination rounds test their knowledge of pop culture, world events, science, and literature.
Only one can win a large cash prize. The catch is that the contestants will also be roommates for one week in one of Manhattan's
most luxurious apartments. Blending the rivalry/romance complications of reality programming with the high pressure stakes
of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?, Studio 7 will not only allow viewers to play along, but will give them an intimate
perspective on who's competing. Friendships will be forged, passions will ignite, and hopes will be shattered as each of the
contestants vies to be the grand champion of Studio 7.
