Love Boat: The Next Wave
|
|
- Unlike
the WB, UPN is having a more difficult time
establishing its identity
- Voyager
continues to be a cult hit against Star Trek
fans, The Love Boat seems to be working,
and Moesha/Clueless do well against their
own niche, however, the rest of the schedule
is brand new
-
Additionally, UPN has already taken a great
deal of heat from angry viewers for canceling
The Sentinel. Accordingly, they
will be bringing this series back later in the
year

of teenage programming, by moving Dawson’s
