I just looked ahead at the schedule for next Wednesday, after "Smallville" ("Angel"'s former time slot). The WB, in it's infinite wisdom (ahem, cough, spit) has apparently decided to replace "Angel" with some piece of crap called "The Mountain". It looks like some cheap Dynasty/Dallas soap opera rip-off.
Personally, I'm going to at least write in to the local affiliate and let them know that I'm not watching it, but that I would have been watching in that time slot if they had kept "Angel" in it. I know it won't change the sich, but it will make me feel better to let them know that their stupid decisions have consequences.

I seem to recall that Angel was the last show not knowing if it would or would not be renewed. I might be confusing it with season 4 end, I don't know.

Um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm Angry. And I'm Armed.

Yes, you're confusing it with season 4. One of the main reasons it got renewed was the addition of JM.
David has said repeatedly that he'd love to do another movie, so as long Sarah's part of it.

Where did you read this? I know he's said he'd do an Angel feature, but I don't remember anything about SMG having to be involved..? Why would he even care?

I'm not so quick to go off on Fox, on this issue. The producers wanted an early answer, because if they were going to have a 6th season, surely they wanted to plan for it, in the writing?
You don't want to have the final eps of Season 5 shot, and written, and THEN find out if the next season is happening or not. That sh*t may have flown with "Full House," but not for our boy Joss.

Hahaha it's worse that FOX can't even make the right decisions on their own network and now they have to go and screw others.

From his last convention:
He was asked about future projects...same old, same old...and he specifically said that he would love to do a movie......WITH SMG. HEe brought her up. Said he'd do a "proper movie to end Angel's story"....that it would be a good idea "play out THEIR story"...
David LOVES working with Sarah, and vice versa. They started out on these series together and have a wonderfull friendship. That's why he would care.

Near the year’s end, Boreanaz also made a brief foray back to Buffy for a final appearance during the series’ last season. “That was cool,” he says. “It was a pleasure to see everybody, and [the episode] was a great tribute that returned to that time when Buffy and Angel really took off as characters and there was that beautiful romance between them. That really set the pace for Buffy.”
The actor is a bit disappointed that SMG wasn’t able to reciprocate and appear on Angel, and there is some dispute as to whether or not her work precluded a guest spot. “It would have been nice to have Buffy come over, and I know that Sarah wanted to do it and felt bad about not being able to, but I don’t know what happened,” says Boreanaz. “I think that decision was made by the Powers-That-Be, for reasons that I don’t know. I loved working with Sarah and having those two characters together. When they were with each other, Angel was a completely different person.

I just read an article analyzing ratings for the new season thus far. The Mountain is down almost 42% from what Angel averaged in the same time slot last year. Now they are about to move The Mountain to sundays and put Jack & Bobby in Angel's old time slot. The WB's decision to cancel Angel is looking more ridiculous every day.

It's not surprising that ratings are down so much. After all, the WB probably lost 100% of the viewers who used to watch in that time slot. I certainly don't know any "Angel" fans who are now watching "The Mountain". And I'll be just as happy to not watch "Jack and Bobby" as I am to not watch "The Mountain".
