The end of Angel

Posted on February 16, 2004 by Charles Kuffner

Argh!

In a move that has completely blindsided producers and fans alike, the WB Network announced late Friday that it was cancelling its long-running Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, Angel.

Dammit! I’m not ready for Angel to go away. Please, please, let some other network – UPN, Fox, Telemundo, C-SPAN, the Golf Channel, anyone – make an offer to Joss Whedon to keep Angel going for another year or two.

Via the equally bummed Atrios.

    Chuck,

    Don’t you think that Angel doesn’t quite fit with C-SPAN or the Golf Channel’s programming? Maybe the Food Network or E! might be better choices. 😉

    Typical network think – the replacement will always be better.

    Angel tends toward the 80s/90s in ranking (ghastly for one of the big three) but 3-5 as far as the WB goes (which lately has been mostly down). They’re going to kill a show with marvelous demographics and a dedicated fan base for what?

    To replace it with some piece of c— that will probably pull in the 130s and not last four weeks.
