Wow, I just found out that I'm the new editor of Family Matters! I'm so excited! Now I'll have to step my game up since I haven't been visiting this site that often lately.

I'm excited to be at Level 15. It seems like only yesterday I wasn't able to contribute because I hadn't posted enough. But that was a year ago. I've come along way since last June. Hopefully I can keep up the good work.

Recently, I've seen three of the former Destiny's Child members on UPN sitcoms. Farrah Franklin was on All Of Us, and Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland had recurring roles on Half And Half and Girlfriends, respectively. The episodes of these shows aired around the same time. Since, I'm a big fan of Destiny's Child, it was nice seeing three of the former members doing acting. I was really surprised to see Farrah Franklin back in the limelight. Also, the lead singer of Destiny's Child, Beyonce Knowles, ironically guest starred on All Of Us three years ago. It seems odd that four of the Destiny's Child members all guest starred on UPN sitcoms - three around the same time - and it wasn't planned that way, it just happened. I guess starring on UPN was in their Destiny

I was almost certain that the WB/UPN merger would pick up more WB shows that UPN, but yesterday's announcement proved me wrong. I was happy that Girlfriends made it to the CW network. Everybody Hates Chris was a given, so I had no worries about that show. I was hoping Half And Half would've made the cut, but unfortunately it didn't. Surprisingly, All Of Us was chosen over it. Not that All Of Us is a bad show, because it's pretty decent, but I liked Half And Half better. I'm glad to see that the Girlfriends spin-off, The Game, will debut in the fall. I didn't like the backdoor pilot at first, but it grew on me. It's not the best, but it's good. As for One On One, Cuts, Love Inc., and Eve, they all deserved to be cancalled, but I'd love to see how Eve and One On One's cliffhangers were resolved. Oh well, life goes on... And finally, a few months back there was talk of a WB sitcom created by Mara Brock-Akil that would feature Brandy as the star. Then after the merge announcement, it was never heard of again. I would've loved to see it on the CW lineup, but it - along with Nick Lachey's show - weren't picked up. But I think there's still hope. Maybe another network will pick them up, or maybe CW will pick them up next year...who knows? But regardless, I'm somewhat satisfied with the CW lineup. Other than Half And Half being cancelled, I can't complain.

As I posted a few weeks ago, I expect the CW to cancel a lot of UPN's sitcoms, but now after seeing the season finales of some of my favorite shows (All Of Us, Half And Half, Eve, and One On One), I've sort of gotten intrigued by the plots. It's kind of hard not to wonder what will happen next, but I know that if I do I'll be left hanging. I may never find out what happens when Lynn's husband opens the closet and finds J.T. and Nick in there, or who Mona chose to be her lover, or if Breanna and D-Mack actually had sex or just slept in the same bed, or if Neesee and Robert will rekindle their romance. So I'm trying to prepare myself for the worse when it comes to these sitcoms getting renewed. Unfortuantely, CW will not announce their fall lineup until Thursday, unlike other stations.
