Why Fox29? I'll tell you why.

It's about the constituency. Looking at TV Guide, the regularly scheduled broadcasts from 8-9 on WB49 are "What I Like About You", a new WB teenybopper show featuring Amanda Bynes, and "Grounded for Life", a cutesy family sitcom. Meanwhile, Fox29 was scheduled to run "Totally Outrageous Behavior" and "World's Craziest Videos", which appear to be two different shows ripping off "America's Funniest Home Videos". Obviously, even though Friday night is the crypt of television and ratings, WB has more of a need to satisfy its teenybopper constituency than Fox has to satisfy whatever dateless wonders would be watching "World's Totally Outrageous and Craziest Behavior Videos" from 8 to 9.
