UPN Sked Has WB Feel
UPN has picked up not one but two erstwhile WB Network dramas for its fall 2001 lineup. UPN clinched a deal with 20th Century Fox Television and Regency Television on Wednesday for "Roswell," which was dropped by the WB earlier this week after two seasons.
"Roswell"
will be paired in the fall on Tuesdays with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which UPN acquired by outbidding the WB for renewal rights last month. Next to "Buffy," the new installment of the "Star Trek" franchise, "Star Trek: Enterprise," will be the highlight of UPN's fall schedule presentation to advertisers in New York today.
Fox Broadcasting Co. also lifts the veil on its new fall lineup today. At press time, Fox was said to be finalizing a rich deal with "The X-Files" creator Chris Carter to helm the ninth season of the network's signature drama series. But it will be a Mulder-less season. Sources said "X-Files" star David Duchovny, who re-upped with the show after much behind-the-scenes drama on the eve of Fox's upfront presentation last year, will not be returning.
