Buffy to be canceled!

[Dragongirl]

That got your attention. That is my prediction anyway. It is down 27% over last year and Ms. Gellors contract is up.

It would be bad news, if the series was cancelled.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been getting better and better, and I was just beginning to seriously enjoy it.

It's been seven seasons now? Time to end the show, it is. All genre shows should be like B5 or MSG: tell one story in full, and then get the hell off the air. Five seasons is more than enough time for any show to get the job done, and often it can be done in 50 episodes or less.

You're a really BAD girl, dragonperson...
You really SCARED me...

They have been talking about it for some time now, interest in the show from cast and fans is waning. They had a good run, seven years, at least they can end it on their terms.

Maybe we will see a few of the characters make a showing on Angel! There is also the chance of a spin off, Dawn the Slayer.

I heard rumor about Faith having a series as well. I actually attribute the low ratings to:

1. it is a long-running series
2. last season

I think last season was a bit dark for some people. People tuned in initially because it was a new network and Buffy died, so you had to find out how she was going to be brought back. But I think the whole reality story arc turned off...well 27% of the show's audience.

Only two things have a chance to save the series. The first is improving ratings, and the second is somone offering Sarah too much money to leave. However, the writing has been on the wall since the end of the second season. Sarah tried to leave then, but could not get out of her contract.

Because iof that there has been many rumors of spin offs, but until they announce some thing it looks as if that might not even happen.

Didn't Joss Whedon also plan to spend more time on other projects and less on Buffy? I'm sure whether or not he stays will have a big impact on whether we'll see another season or not. And that decision may depend on how well some of those projects are going, i.e. Firefly.

Personally, I'm much more interested in Faith taking over than Dawn. And I hope the Giles/Ripper series manages to get done at some point.

Some have speculated on the idea of Buffy graduating to the movies, a la Star Trek. Sarah said in one interview that she didn't think it would work, since the original movie did poorly. But that was a very different animal than a new movie helmed by Joss would be. I'd watch it.

Not as different as you might think. The original movie was written by Joss. The movie had Kaz and Fran Kuzui on the production team, and those two now hae Executive Producer credits for the series...

The orginal movie while it didn't do well in theatres has a rather good cult following. Many people watch it, like it, and own it. However, doing a movie with the current cast members won't be a hit. I think they missed their window.
