ANGEL IS AXED!!!!!

[ZariusTwo]

THIS IS THE BIGGEST BULLS*IT I HAVE EVER HEARD

Posted from Warner Bros. Official Site:

"For the last seven years Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have been cornerstones of our network. The sum total of the work done on those shows has produced some of the proudest moments in our history. Like some of the great series that are leaving the air this year, including Frasier and Friends, the cast, crew, writers and producers of Angel deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last year of the series on The WB. We have discussed continuing the Angel legacy with special movie events next year, which is still on the table. In a perfect world, all of these details would be completed before this information went to the press so that we could be definitive about the show's ongoing future. But in any case, we did not want to contemplate this being the last year of Angel without giving the show the option of crafting their own destiny for this character and for this series. David Boreanaz continues to be one of the finest, classiest and friendliest actors we have had the pleasure to work with and we hope that the relationship furthers from here. The same can be said for all the actors and producers on the show."

Is this a bad thing? It just means one less TV show to worry about

[MTN889]

WB sucks, and always will suck because they always stop the good stuff and put on CRAP.

[ThirdMarioBro]

WB is a load of crap, run by people who have Sh** for brains.
Fox is better anyway.

Oh knock it off, is taste that much of a stranger to you?

[Taloniss]

Maybe they'll move the show to another network, like Buffy did. If not, I want another Spin-off...THE SPIKE SHOW!

[PizzaPower]

ya, the sike show would be cool.

[cqb101]

Hell no! This sucks! But it's all good if we get a Spike show.

[Taloniss]

I've heard rumours of a Giles show too, possibly showing his early years, and how he trained to be a watcher. That would be pretty good too. After a few seasons of that, they could jump to the present and get Anthony Stewart Head back and show what Giles is up to these days.

Don't know how it works in american television, but I'm hoping they will find another home for it before summer...

I hope so too. The same thing happened with Buffy. After 5 seasons on the WB, they dumped it and UPN picked it up. I think it was something about the budget, but I'm not positive.

No...I just don't think very highly of 95% of the crap on TV today, that's all...it's nothing but a ratings battle to me anyway.

But that's just me.

The WB may have stopped ordering episodes of the series, but I can damn near guarantee there's another network out there just waiting for an opportunity like this. Fox, not long ago, was desperate for anything with Whedon's name on it, hence Firefly. Unless Whedon and the bunch want to call it quits, I doubt this will be the last we see of Angel.

I just hope they dont axe Smallville.

Don't look for W.B to drop Angel completly yet, they said they might produce a few Feature-Length "Movies" and continue the series that wat,

[Demonfox38]

Okay . . . .WHAT THE CRAP?!!!

Gawd, of any show, why would they even think of axing that one?! UPN, please come to the rescue!

Spike show would be a great idea. Everyone loves their little hottie vampire.

Some of you may have heard the hilarious news. I thought this would be a good time to weigh in. to answer some obvious questions: No, we had no idea this was coming. Yes, we will finish out the season. No, I don't think the WB is doing the right thing. Yes, I'm grateful they did it early enough for my people to find other jobs.

Yes, my heart is breaking.

When Buffy ended, I was tapped out and ready to send it off. When Firefly got the axe, I went into a state of denial so huge it may very well cause a movie. But Angel... we really were starting to feel like we were on top, hitting our stride -- and then we strode right into the Pit of Snakes 'n' Lava. I'm so into these characters, these actors, the situations we're building... you wanna know how I feel? Watch the first act of "The Body."

As far as TV movies or whatever, I'm not thinking that far ahead. I actually hope my actors and writers are all too busy. We always planned this season finale to be a great capper to the season and the show in general. (And a great platform for a new season, of course.) We'll proceed ahead as planned.

I've never made mainstream TV very well. I like surprises, and TV isn't about surprises, unless the surprise is who gets voted off of something. I've been lucky to sneak this strange, strange show over the airwaves for as long as I have. I don't FEEL lucky, but I understand that I am.

Thanks all for your support, your community, and your perfectly sane devotion. It's meant a lot. I regret nothing (except the string of grisley murders in the 80's -- what was THAT all about?) Remember the words of the poet:

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN' SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn."

See you soon."

They better not. It's WB's only good show left if they drop Angel.

i have to agree with you on that

[Brodie]

I kinda liked how Angel was going. The idea that he was running something he hates. And the scripts were funny, well, in Angel's case anyways. He was awkwardly funny/
