Wow, except for #6 I think I agree with everything you just said! :)

To clarify, I didn't completely disagree with everything you said in #6. I have often thought that Angel and Mal seemed quite similar in character, and the tone of their writing and way the actors play them are also similar.

This is really good tv which we have not seen in decades. The writing is as top notch as Rockford Files. This show is way beyond the buffy verse. Ron Glass has been in 2 of the best shows ever, Barny Miller was a huge success. If you take variety shows out of the picture. This is what you have Lucy Ball, Dick Van Dyke show, Mary Tyler Moore, 2 mentioned above, Magnum, Cheers, Star Trek os, Star Gate, Babylon 5, Bonanza, and Alias Smith and Jones. You look back on tv theirs is not that many. Magnum was a spinoff of Rockford Files the only show that starts off with a different phone recording, classic. Also alot the same actors have success in makin a great show. Firefly put the right people at the right time together. You can't replace the best. Look at Capt. Kirk we don't see that he is Bald, Fat, and very Old. He is still James T. to us. TJ Hooker was good. Or who could forget Col Steve Austin as the Fall Guy. The original Angel is Rockford's side kick who can forget Jim Bo, Jimmy Son, Rockfish come on.
Your move. That's a bold move. I live on the edge. Nice work dumb ass.
