- UPDATE 2.0.VERSION: • CNTwo - The WB Frog Me...
Here's something I made for the 21st Anniversary of the then-defunct TV Network, The WB.
Michigan J. Frog, voiced by Jeff McCarthy, was the official mascot of The WB, a defunct broadcast television network, from its inception in 1995 until 2005.
The network's first night of programming on January 11, 1995, began with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck wondering which one of them would pull the switch to launch The WB. The camera then panned over to Chuck Jones drawing Michigan on an easel; when Jones finished, Michigan leaped from the drawing to formally launch The WB and lands on Chuck's shoulder who then says "What's Up Frog".
Michigan also would usually appear before the opening of shows, informing the viewer of the TV rating. Before the beginning of Savannah, for example, the frog would sing a short monologue suggesting that "there's more comedy for the family Wednesday nights" and that kids should go to bed, meaning that the show coming on would be for mature audiences only.
In later shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, the announcer would present a TV-PG disclaimer, though the frog still appeared as a neon sign.
And another thing, from my old vid I see a lot of comments that you saw it because of Dave Chapelle talked smack about Michigan J. Frog at the end of his "Zapped" skit from an episode of Comedy Central's Chapelle Show ( • wb frog dave chapell s... ), what makes it even funnier is that The WB stopped using the frog after the the skit was aired in 2005.
On July 22, 2005, Michigan's "death" was announced by WB Chairman ('03 - '06) Garth Ancier at a fall season preview with the terse statement:
"The frog is dead and buried." The head of programming for The WB, David Janollari, stated that "[Michigan] was a symbol that perpetuated the young teen feel of the network. That's not the image we [now] want to put out to our audience."
I think Michigan should deserved better...

R.I.P. Michigan J. Frog (1955-2006)
I love how Michigan J Frog was chosen to be the mascot for the Wb channel and rightly feel so he feels like such a natural fit and a good one at that
I miss Michigan J. Frog.

Michigan J. Frog is talented at vaudeville acts, such as acrobatics, comedy, impersonation, magic tricks, but mostly song and dance.
They need to bring back The WB! I miss it.
WB had so many shows that didn’t work. Once they found their flow it was so good.
