Angel

Wow... 😐 This sucks 🙁 I can't believe they are canceling it... 🙁 🙁

Tell me about it. Damn...

If you're that unhappy, why not do something about it? Sign the petition! If everyone who feels this way did that, we might be able to save the show!

😱 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh yeah and not forgetting.... NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I feel your pain...

Again, sign the petition! Make a difference!

the WB has just gone tooo far now! i used to watch the wb almost every night. now all their programs suck! however i did read that they might leave the option open of doing some tv movies of angel, i can only hope and pray! oh, i read that at www.comingsoon.net if u want toi check it out.

Im not a fan of angel but it is unwise to cancel.Angel is one of the strong points of the wbs ratings getting 4.5 million a week estimated.Its in the wbs top 5 shows.7th heaven is number one with smallville at second.I dont they canceled the show because there not that stupid.I think it had something to do with the actors.I havent read the full story that Ahnold gave just incase your wondering.But if anybody ever cancels smallville theyll have a bone to pick with me in the boxing ring and believe me it wont be pretty.

WB sucks.

I only like smallvill and JKX other than that it indeed does suk

Punker 69> Trust me, this has nothing to do with the actors! Lemme explain it to you: Angel has a core fan base of a couple of million people. That's good, you might say. BUT - the problem is that those ratings are hardly likely to go any higher than they are now. For the next tv year, the WB are purchasing loads of expensive shows; and considering that Angel isn't exactly cheap to make, it doesn't make financial sense to keep it going. The same goes for the possibility of other networks picking it up; the income-viewer ratio is just not that high...

And snlovergirl, there may be some Tv movies, as you said. At this point, I shall frankly take anything I can get!

And they damn well better not cancel Smallville too!!!

In closing, I must again remind everyone - sign the online petition! If everyone who feels bad does it, we can easily work up a couple of hundred thousand signatures that just might do the trick...

Joss just posted on the Beta Bronze board about the news. Here goes:

"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.

And 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?)

And:

"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."

Poor Joss...

Here's another suggestion - email the WB at [email protected]

Be courteous, astute, and brief in your comments - if there are enough, we just might save the show...

You won't save the show. Petitions like this are so old hat now, TV Execs see them as a humurous by-product of cancellation.

Perhaps - but what about the e-mails? If Angel's future is still up in the air, then a sufficiant amount of e-mails might JUST do the trick...

Plus - the petition has had, as of now, 20,000 signatures! That's after less than two days! And the news hasn't even become widespread yet! C'mon - the WB won't respond to that?

it wont believe me it wont.

Though I wish it wasn't true, I can somewhat understand why it would be cancelled. To me, Season 5 is too different than the other seasons (i.e. them working for Wolfram and Hart, killing off Cordelia, and not having Lilah). At least they still have Smallville and Charmed, but maybe UPN will pick them up.

I think charmed is stupid.UPN will probaly buy it.If they do it will be there most watched show.It would be a good move on UPNs part.

I'm just going to stop watching WB.
