sory Chrisisall - S4 is great. the overall arc wasn't AMAZING - but some of the stand-alone eps (i point you here to Hush et al).
I also feel that the best season of Buffy (IMO season 5 - i don't care what anyone else says) is far greater than ANY season of Angel. Season 1 of Buffy is, however, worse than ALMOST all of em (bar s4- what went on there?). apart from that though- only s5 of Angel (and POSSIBLY s2) could come anywhere near being better than any other season of Buffy.

To me, quality-wise, starting with the best, you have:
Buffy 3, 6, 7
Angel 5
Buffy 4, 5
Angel 1/ Buffy 2
Angel 2
Buffy 1
(Can't place Angel 3 & 4; haven't seen 'em yet)

As much as I love the character of Spike and his interplay with Angel in S5 (as well as Illyria), the season just seems too hit-and-miss for me overall to consider it the best of Angel. I will say that I loved "You're Welcome" and most of the final episodes. But it seemed like it took too long/too many filler eps to really get going.
I like Buffy and Angel pretty much equally, but Angel overall was a little more hit-and-miss. Btw, I saw Angel before Buffy, so many of the plot elements that were re-used from Buffy a season or two later on Angel I was experiencing for the first time. So maybe I have a higher opinion of the Angel series than most simply because I saw it first. I'd still place Buffy slightly ahead of Angel, but they're both quite good. I don't think there's as much of a difference in quality as some here suggest.

I definately put Angel first. The show seemed much more mature. That means plot, arcs, characters, setting, everything. The show didn't seem to have nearly as much filler to me.
Buffy was way more the "who's kissing who" show. I mean by season 7 they even had to joke about how many of the group had slept with each other. That's too much IMO. In fact that's the time when Angel hit its low point when they tried to force some romance for Cordy. Neither of those fit at all IMO.
The funny thing is my season rankings are fairly similar for Buffy and Angel.
Season 2 & 3 are best for both shows
Season 4 was worst for both.
Season 1 was weak but both shows were just trying to find their feet.
Season 5 rebounded and is still good but not great.
Season 6 & 7 only apply to Buffy and rank somewhere between 1 and 5.
