The End of Angel

[Umbran]

This WB Press Release pretty much says it all. This is the final season of Angel. There are some options for a TV movie or the like, but the show as we know it will end.

 

[Wrath of the Swarm]

Why? It's the second-highest-show in their key demographic, for crying out loud.

Are they trying to completely reinvent themselves as the teen soap opera channel or something?

Sheesh, this is gonna kill Whedon. At least he has the Firefly movie.

 

[Crothian]

No big suprise there. I'm more worried if this will have an effect on the RPG more then then anything

I wish I could say it was a surprise, but given that it was almost cancelled last season, along with the new show direction, things pretty much pointed at WB demanding higher numbers from the show... which evidently weren't good enough for them.

Things like these are why I think network executives are twits (replace with random obscene phrase of choice).

 

[Nightfall]

Not surprised in the least. They'll let Charmed stay on for as long as men can get boobage, but give them a show that actually DOES something, they'll toss it out in a heart beat. Oh well. Such is life.

Wish i could say i was shocked.. I am getting used to not watching much American TV anymore anyway.. looks like BBC America is providing some of the best shows since Fox, UPN and WB shows that cater to my interests either don't last or drop off quality wise.

Don't be suprised if Angel is replaced with something like "Amish in the Big City" or some other stupid reality show.

Well...it will be one less channel to watch.

 

[CCamfield]

I have to admit that I think this sucks. And I don't really have a clue what I will watch next season. Maybe by then I'll be able to afford some boxed sets and rewatch Farscape an episode a week or something.

Yeah, wow ... I used to watch so much WB it wasn't even funny ... Buffy, Angel, I even liked soap opera-y crap like Dawson's Creek and Felicity. Now there's nothing to watch.

That's going to knock me down to just Thursdays for appointment television from now on. All for the best, I guess. I will miss Angel and company a lot though; they grew on me as much as Buffy and the Scoobies did.

Nah, PBS has already done it...
