I thought a moron would have an easy time to figure it out without having a group of people who (the rumbling gets closer) have seen the article and could easily make the connection between the C and the W.

Oh yeah, one more thing.....


HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!!!!

*gets hit by truck for a few seconds*

I, honestly for one, took me a few seconds to figure it out. Shoot me for my loss of sensibility.

No shots necessary.  There is a world of difference between "taking a few seconds to figure it out" and "not even bothering to do the most basic research, then ignoring a post in which it was already explained." :-)

CW has also been shorthand in the trades for Carsey-Werner of the YBYL and IGAS revival attempts. Wonder if Variety will mull a diff moniker for the distrib vs. the weblet.

Is it possible to delineate with C-W vs. CW?  Just a thought.....

However Variety decides to do it, you can be sure the decision will be peppered and salted with all kinds of goofy antiquated buzzwords designed to make the reader feel like they're in some kind of idiotic secret club.

How about we call it "C-dub", make it sound "hip" and such...

Not a big loss, but the Flint area has it on cable. *shudder* (Why is the picture so fuzzy?)

That is not the worst idea I've heard today.  As I said before, I find "The CW" to have very little going for it.

Even plain "CW" doesn't work for me.  It sounds like a film director being addressed by his flunkie.

And since Carsey-Werner will be, effective with the last episode of "That 70s Show," defunct as a television production company, maybe it doesn't really matter at all.
