Edited to include the supposedly "un-Angel-like" qualities.
1. "Being a vampire sucks."--opening line of Mick St. John (also a Harmony line from Buffy!)
2. "Like all good detective stories, this one started with a girl..." (opening Angel voice over--"Los Angeles. You see it at night and it shines. A beacon. People are drawn to it. People and other things. They come for all sorts of reasons. My reason? No surprise there. It started with a girl.")
3. The car (which someone mentioned down below).
4. Kevin Weisman (best known as Marshall from Alias, but he also was one of Glory's Hobbits)
5. Rudolf Martin (Buffy's Dracula)
A bizarre cross between Angel and Beauty and the Beast, IMO. Nice to see Kevin Weisman again, but my favorite thing about it was Jason Dohring...who SO deserves better material.

For Joss!

Another article that claims it's "not really terrible" and "isn't really going to win over any Angel fans".

I'm taping it and will watch it later. I'll give it a shot.

Talk me down man, somebody talk me down. 
I'm trying, I'm trying really hard. But for the love of God, they stole the damned Angelmobile. Did they really think we'd see the black convertible and not make the connection? And if they were actually trying, they'd get rid of the damn trenchcoat.
*sigh*
I'll try to finish the rest of the episode...

Thank god Evanescence wasn't around when Buffy and Angel first started up. Then again, I don't see Joss putting that in the show, thank God. And what the hell is up with the Celine Dion?
Okay, calmer now. 
The show's not horrible. Which is not to say it's good either, but I've seen worse. I think. And the actor who plays St. John isn't that bad, and I really like Jason Dohring (never watched Veronica Mars, so this is my first glimpse, so to speak). I will attempt to watch a few more episodes.
Ironically, this was on right after Doctor Who (Sophia Myles is David Tennant's girlfriend).
Yeah, I know I'm a fangirl.

Glad to hear that I apparently didn't miss much by skipping it...

I TOLD you Jason Dohring was good!!! LOL!!! That was just a glimpse though. This character is so much like Logan it's eerie (or maybe not considering Joel Silver was a VM producer), so I know he'll be great in the role. Logan was a evilish rich boy too, but was oddly sympathetic at the same time, thanks to Jason's acting.
Joss really did ruin us for other vamp shows, IMHO. I can't even imagine it being possible for anyone (even Joss) to top Angel and Spike...period!!! Alex O'Laughlin was all right, but not sure he was right for the role.
But okay, I'll give it a few more eps. just to see.

David Greenwalt left for "health reasons". Did anyone hear about how he's doing? I've heard nothing. Hope he's all right.
