NOTE FROM JOHN:

American teen-centric television network The WB has
reportedly bought the rights to produce a live-action
TV series based on L. Frank Baum’s “Oz” series,
the most famous of which is “The Wizard of Oz.”
The mind boggles at what the network that brought us
“Dawson’s Creek” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
will do to Dorothy and Friends…

The Top 8 Changes in
The WB’s “Oz” Series

8> Wicked Witches? Tori Spelling and Shannen Doherty.

7> Seeing the Scarecrow torn in half by winged monkeys is only to be expected. Seeing Dorothy passed around between the Aryan Nation Brotherhood and the Italian Mafia indicates the writers may be on the wrong “Oz” series.

6> Dorothy, a wide-eyed freshman at Oz U., discovers life and love on the cusp of adulthood.

5> In a politically correct move, the show’s antagonist will be the Personality-Challenged Wiccan of the West.

4> Scarecrow - Damon Wayans Cowardy Lion - Keenan Ivory Waynas Tin Man - Marlon Wayans Dorothy - Kim Wayans

3> In a very special episode, Glinda talks to the Cowardly Lion about Viagra.

2> The incident in the poppy field will be featured on the ECPD episode of “COPS.”

and the Number 1 Change in The WB’s “Oz” Series…

1> Even scenes without Toto contain dialogue peppered with “Bitch!”
