The Day The CW Laughter Died

5:25AM Seth | Bastard toddler network The CW has had a bit of a rough time rebounding after the writers strike, its slate failing to find traction with an audience comprised almost entirely of easily distracted tweenagers and confused elderly disappointed to learn they hadn’t found a new home for Hee Haw reruns.

(Before you answer that, Tyra’s definitely at least a B.) · Our pals at BoingBoing drag an animated skeleton out of The Simpsons Movie director’s closet.
