I actually thought Buffy and Angel were pretty decent shows. And the WB gave us Smallville and now Supernatural. Two shows that thankfully will live on with the new channel, the CW.
The WB was responsible for Smallville? *cough* People know what I think of that show.....
I blasted it in The Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy show tourney thread.....it got one the larger font sizes (in bold) for the kick out on the first round.....*cringes again*
Click on your state, and it will tell you which channel will be carrying the CW.]
In N. Calif, it appears that the UPN stations will be the new CW stations.
So...what happens to the old WB stations?
According to our local WB site, KQCA-TV, they will pick up programming from Hearst-Argyle Television. They're also a sister station to our local NBC affiliate, KCRA.
(When KQCA first premiered back in 1985, they were an independent station that played mainly REALLY old movies, and had a very weak signal strength. Now, they're one of the major station in the Sacramento market.)
Everything is up to the local affiliates. The networks pay the local affiliates to show their programs. The local affiliates can refuse to show certain programs if they want.
Maybe they'll realize those shows rock and let Joss start a new show in the Buffy universe.
Hopefully not, IMO. Those shows were....beyond lousy.
Since we're on the Whedon subject though, I wouldn't be averse to him being allowed to resurrect Firefly.

Late this year is as close to a date as we have been given so far, and yes, you're right in the assumption that its the real thing.
Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

Buffy is one of my top three favorite shows that i have ever watched. Twenty Four, Stargate and Buffy being my top 3. Now although i have watched every Buffy episode at least twice i have never seen an episode of Angel. My question is, is it a good show? The reason im asking is becuase i was thinking of buying all 5 seasons on dvd. Also how many appearances does sarah michelle gellar make in the whole Angel series like i dont need an exact number but around abouts. Thanks
In short, YES, Angel is good. Just as good as Buffy. In some cases, even better.
SMG makes a couple of appearances, but Faith makes more (and more interesting ones). Also, others who come over from BtVS for some appearances (that i can remember) include Willow, Spike, Cordelia and Wesley Wyndham Price.
My advice to you is that you would NOT be wasting your money buying all 5 seasons. Buffy Season 3, Angel season 2, first half of angel season 4, second half of angel season 5, and buffy season 7 are my favourites out of all the episodes, and in my opinion, are roughly on par quality wise.
