The WB announced its fall slate Tuesday afternoon!

What are we excited about?

Though early reports made no mention of “Global Frequency,” the WB has ordered the much-anticipated hourlong for midseason.

There is no sign of “Dark Shadows,” the vampire soap the WB had hoped to fill the vacuum left by critical and fan favorite “Angel.”

Shitcom “The Help” has been shitcanned, apparently because all networks realized about seven seconds ago that Americans now prefer reality shows to anything with a laughtrack.

The big rundown:

Monday
8:00 7th Heaven
9:00 Everwood

Tuesday
8:00 Gilmore Girls
9:00 One Tree Hill

Wednesday
8:00 Smallville
9:00 Blue Collar TV
9:30 Green Screen

Thursday
8:00 The Mountain
9:00 Studio 7

Friday
8:00 What I Like About You
8:30 Commando Nanny
9:00 Reba
9:30 Grounded For Life

Sunday
7:00 Steve Harvey’s Big Time
8:00 Charmed
9:00 Jack & Bobby

The six new WB series due this autumn:

“Blue Collar TV” is a “Hee-Haw”-like sketch comedy show from Fax Bahr & Adam Small (“Mad TV,” “The Jamie Kennedy Experiment”) starring Jeff Foxworthy (“The Jeff Foxworthy Show”), Bill Engvall (“Delta,” “The Jeff Foxworthy Show”), Larry the Cable Guy (“The Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie”) and Heath Hyche (“Man on the Moon”).

“Commando Nanny” is a sitcom, based on a chapter in the life of “Survivor” producer Mark Burnett, about a young British ex-commando who becomes a nanny in Beverly Hills. It’s produced by Burnett and writer-producer David Flebotte (“The Sopranos,” “The Bernie Mac Show”) and stars Philip Winchester (“The Patriot,” “Thunderbirds”), Gerald McRaney (“Mister Sterling”), Kristin Bauer (“Hidden Hills,” “50 First Dates”) and Ricky Mabe (“Isn’t She Great”).

“Green Screen”, from Drew Carey (“The Drew Carey Show”), will see “Whose Line Is It Anyway” vets Carey, Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops improvise against animated backgrounds.

“Jack & Bobby” is a contemporary drama about a single mom raising two teens, one of whom is destined to become this nation’s president. It’s from writer-producers Gerg Berlanti (“Everwood”) and Vanessa Taylor (“Gideon’s Crossing,” “Alias,” “Everwood”). It stars Matthew Long, Logan Lerman (“Riding In Cars With Boys”), Christine Lahti (“Chicago Hope”), Jessica Pare (“Lost and Delirious”), John Slattery (“Ed,” “K Street”) and Edwin Hodge (“The Alamo”).

“The Mountain” is a drama from “O.C.” writer-producer Stephanie Savage about a 25-year-old who inherits a ski resort. It stars Oliver Hudson (“MY Guide to Becoming a Rock Star”), Elizabeth Bogush (“Titans”), Penn Badgley (“Do Over”), Anson Mount (“Line of Fire”), Barbara Hershey (“Chicago Hope”), Mitch Pileggi (“Tarzan”), Chad Everett (“Mulholland Dr.”), Alana de la Garza (“All My Children”) and Johann Urb (“Zoolander”).

“Studio 7” is from Michael Davies (“Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” “Wife Swap”). It “mixes the reality and game show genres to produce a radically new quiz show seen from the contestants' point of view.” Of course it does!

Midseason:

“Global Frequency” is an action-adventure hourlong that deals, as readers of Warren Ellis’ brilliant (and, if I’m not mistaken, ongoing) graphic novel can attest, with an elite and illegal network of 1,001 intelligence operatives charged with quashing dire and fast-emerging crises as they arrive all over the planet. It’s being overseen by screenwriter John Rogers (“American Outlaws,” “The Core,” the upcoming “Catwoman”).

“Rocky Point” is about a 19-year-old New Englander who decides to defer her freshman year at Princeton to live on Hawaii’s North Show with a group of friends. It from the screenwriting team of Lizzy Weiss & John Stockwell, who also wrote the 2002 surf-girl feature “Blue Crush.” The only one cast so far is Billy Campbell (“Once and Again”), who plays the girl’s father.

“Shacking Up” is a sitcom about a 25-year-old med school dropout who returns home to discover his hot mom is sleeping with someone younger than he is. It’s from screenwriters David Garrett & Jason Ward (“Corky Romano”), writer-producers Jamie Kennedy and John Etting (“The Jamie Kennedy Experiment”) and writer-producer Michael Landworthy (“Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane,” “8 Simple Rules …”). It stars Fran Drescher (“Good Morning, Miami”), Ben Feldman (star of a failed pilot titled “The Mayor”), Ryan McPartlin (“Passions”), Branden Williams (“Crossroads”) and Misti Traya (Iris on “Joan of Arcadia”).
