I disagree very strongly. One of the aspects of all three shows that I loved very much was it was NOT the same ole, same ole. Joss has consistently surprised me, entertained me, and in my purely unbiased opinion, made some of the greatest television, ever.

It was broadcast, it was mainstream. And it was very very well done, not just in the writing, but in the execution and production.

So with all due respect Mr. Whedon, you are simply wrong on this point.

I could not agree more Drakon.

Joss has given me not one, not two, but three series that I have grown to love and follow closely for more than seven years. That is more than can be said for any TV program ever. I have never liked a TV show so much that I had to own it on DVD, every season, and I felt compelled to go to the internet to share that enjoyment w/ others of like mind.

I feel terrible that Angel has been cancelled, but I feel worse for Joss and the cast. I know this must really hit Joss hard, especially since he is working so hard to get Firefly on the big screen, but I am sure he will bounce back. I can only hope all the actors are able to find work that will further their careers and get them back on our sets for us to enjoy.

Y'know the official notice on the WB site, pays lavish compliments to DB ("finest, classiest, friendliest actors we've had the pleasure to work with") and I just wonder why he's singled out in that way. Makes me all suspicious and stuff that they're recruiting him for another show right away. Did it strike anyone else as odd? And not really anything about JW (the ... uh .. creator of DB's character). Also (and I think this was mentioned elsewhere) nothing about WHY it was being axed.
