The WB *might* pick ANGEL up for a 6th season

By Jennifer Marsters (nickname)

Friday 5 March 2004, by Webmaster

I got this on the http://www.saveangel.org site. It was in the forums: http://www.pixsys.co.uk/angel/forum/. The topic can be found here for anyone who wants to read/see it: http://www.pixsys.co.uk/angel/forum/viewtopic.php?t=205.

Here’s what Rebecca on the saveangel.org forums had to say:

Okay, so I got this off of the City of Angel Forum. I think its not true, but I am going to post it anyway. The person who posted this, posts often, so I know it isn’t spam, I just don’t think its true. So here goes:

"My friend flukie (inside info guy) has informed me that the WB has signed Angel up for a 6th season provided that the rating increase and the pleas to keep angel alive are massing over the 2 million mark so the WB will consider Angel to be its most important asset."

Okay, seriously, I do not know how reliable this is. The guy who wrote it posts often, so I know he is not just spamming the site. Everyone at City of Angel were saying that it was a lot of crap too, but here is what he had to say in response.

"no no joke this is serious my friend know loads of stuff before most people get a wind of it and he’s about 98.6 % accurate on all Angel things."

The WB hasn’t confirmed anything on this yet. Just to let you know. So take it with a grain of salt. I’m not believing anything until it’s been confirmed. I’m not gonna get my hopes up or anything because then I will just be let down even more. Let’s hope this turns out to be true.

    Just a further note, I noticed today on the WB website "Angel will return" message board that the WB is not immediately deleting any posts that refer to fans rallying together to save Angel, the scheduled Rally in LA on March 12th, or references to go and sign the petition. Previously they were deleting any message containing this info right away. When I tested my theory the message I had posted was still on the message board hours later. Also, there were many others directing fans to the save Angel websites, petitions and the LA Rally. I thought this was kind of strange as they were deleting messages with these references immediately before. Maybe this is a sign.

    I also noticed that it says "6 new episodes until the end of the Season", not "Series". I don’t know if that is significant or not. I hope so.

    with all the reality crap on tv today. it pains me to even think that ANGEL might get the ax.this show is a must every wednesday for me and my wife.hopefully, the WB will wake up and smell the coffee and keep ANGEL for another season

    With the news of bskyb confirming talks between the producers of angel and The WB, this does not suprise me. However, if Joss could get another network on board (who could see the size of the fan base) I’m fairly sure he would rather go that way than have to put up with the WB’s crap any more!

    It could be just me, but this idea has been bouncing off the walls inside my head. Maybe The PTB are "faking" the cancellation in an attempt to wrangle Sarah Michelle Gellar onto the show?

    Hi well i think that is time for angel to end, im sorry to say!!!!!:( I think angel is dragging on to much and they are running out of ideas to keep the viewers hooked!!!!! I think that it is becoming a bit to much like buffy which we have already seen loads!!!!!! sorry people angel is gone!!!!!

    I am sooo sick of all the reality shows on tv. There is not very many good shows any more. I have been watching Angel since the begining. I just dont think there very many good shows to choose from and Angel is one of the few good shows that is left.

    I think this is prob bull crap, but I am stil hoping another network will wake up and smell the opportunity!!! Also to people who come on here to criticise and say Angel isnt as brilliant as 99.9999999999........% of the visitors to this site believe buggar off and go visit the Charmed site you will feel more at ease with the other mentally retatrded people there!!!!
  • Firstly although deeply disappointed at the cancellation of Angel I’m not gonna believe it until i see it. WB are notorious for making crappy decisions!!! Secondly as much as i enjoy Angel i do also watch Charmed.....Each to their own, don’t ya think!!!

    first they cancle angel then they go after charmed next then comedy central and mtv they already got my radio clear channel basterds where will the conservitives stop you know they cant even help themselves they are in power and theyve always turned to controlling what people are exposed to they are fascist by design and they are a 180 million strong so please if you value freedom of expression in your tv shows do the right thing and go vote at this upcoming election and watch our personal freedoms come back to us little by little and if you havent noticed your freedoms being taken away dont wait untill you do cause it will already be to late. do the right thing and go left in this next election trust me the power that is is done with overseas and now they are looking to clean up over here and theyll take out anything with pentagrams or free thought in it like i said its in there nature they cant even help themselves so lets give em a nice hand down off their most self rightous fascist plans to take out our free thought and replace it with religous jargen in order to keep us in line and control us and turn us into them so we can create more of them and before you know it this whole country will be as dull as a friday night at the old folks home trust me its happend for centuries only at least now they wont weed us out by killing us just by controling what we see and hear and slowly try to brain wash us into their way of thinking.

    I hope that they will pick up Angel for the 6th season but it seems that they are cutting some of the main char... This will make me watch the WB a lot less.

    WB stop being cheap bastards and stay with the proven Angel series - you will make out much better on your ratings

    The WB should definately pick up Angel for another season. It is the only show of its kind that never gets boring. David Boreanaz is gorgeous and the rest of the cast are also good.

    This is to noneofurbusiness: In case you haven’t noticed, Angel is more popular today than last season. The story lines are way above anything else on the WB and keep each and every viewer on the edge of their seat every week. This season has proven without a doubt that there are MANY more ideas that can be explored. Keep your idiotic ideas to yourself in the future!

    David Boreanaz, who plays Angel, tells TV TALK, an Aussie magazine, that he’s happy that ’Angel’ is ending. That he wants to move on, and away from ’Angel’. That when he heard of the cancelling of ’Angel’, he felt like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. So, he’s happy its ending, so the WB shouldn’t renew it now.

    So I have seen all of Buffy and all of Angel. My personal thoughts - frankly Buffy season six should have been the last and Angel season four should have been the last. However, I really liked some last season Buffy episodes and I really loved some episodes on Angel this season too. But frankly, Angel has changed its cast a lot. Not that that’s a bad thing or anything, in fact it keeps it fresh. Yet, this season, no Cordy, then killing her off. I realized how much the show needs some of its old attributes that made it so appealing in the first place. But now they added Spike, who I love, but it changed it up too much now. And to top it off Fred is no longer the same either! They changed it up too much this season, not really ever seeming to lead anywhere, which is one of the reasons I hated the last season of Buffy as well. Both seasons could have been dealt with differently as a movie or spin-off....something, but not as the end to a show. Buffy was never about the Hellmouth. It was about Buffy wanting to be a normal girl with a normal place in society. Angel was about a cursed vampire who was dealt a soul, and wanted redemption, with a possible chance of becoming human. Angel’s looking aged and worn out. Make him a human already and end this show because I’m feeling the same way. I love it, and as all good things I love, they end, and hopefully this ends with fans loving the show, because frankly, why else would you care about it ending. Let it die, and let it die peacefully.

    In response to 15th March-TV week all actors say they are glad a show has come to an end once they have been told it has been cancelled. I feel quite sure DB would be more than happy to continue if the show is renewed and he has always said he would love to play Angel as long as he can.

    In response to Mar-15th comments on DB if the show finishes. All actors say they are happy to move on once they have been told their show has been cancelled. I am sure that if the show is renewed David Boreanaz would be happy to continue playing Angel as he has said many times in interviews.

    I love this season of Angel and all previous seasons. The writers have bought so many different story lines in every season and you never know which way it is going to go. I thought the hotel was great and taking over Wolfram and Hart is yet another different angle. This show never could get boring and the fight scenes are brilliant. Definately there should be a Season 6.

    To WB and other networks, I am a 40 year old married with one child 12 year old, please, please, don’t let the Angel series go....... We watch it all the time along with all the reruns, I personally will never watch WB again if you yank it off the air... And I will make sure none of my other family members do either, being a Catholic, that would include a lot of family....

    Hi, uhm, can I just point out that the thing with Fred wasn’t supposed to last long? But since the WB wants to cancel Angel, there isn’t many episodes left for Fred to change back..she wasn’t supposed to be Illyria for along time .. there were other episodes lined up for the end of season 5 but they had to rewrite some of it..Knox was supposed to die because someone convinced Fred that Knox killed her parents, and De’Hoffren (from BtvS) was supposed to try and make Fred a vengeance demon. that isn’t going to happen cuz The WB SUCKS

    Hi this is to Sara! I heard about all that stuff too and i thought it sounded great but the De’hoffern thing was just rumored so it might not have happened anyway! I cant believe the WB is stuipd enough to take a really popular show away! I mean come on now that there is no Buffy we need Angel! There is nothing else but Alias and Dead like me! All the other stuff is just junk! What does everyone elese think?

Okay first there was buffy then friends now angle gosh!!! If angle gets picked up, from viewing alot of other sites, It will probably do really really really well

    I am 39yrs old,I do not watch much TV.The only shows I really look forward to watching is Angel,Charmed,Iloved to watch Buffy but the WB nixed that.If the WB cancells Angel I will be very upset,which I am sure alot of people are.The onlything that will be left is Charmed,and my guess is if Buffy is gone,then rumor is Angel is going,Charmed will probably be next,if that happens then the WB is going to be one of the worst stations on television.Just to let you know I watch every rerun of Buffy,Angel,and Charmed.Iwould love to see more Angel,and hope to see Buffy,Willow,Zander on the show.What a show that would be then.

    I have watched every single epiosode of Angel, I have never missed one I always there from the beginnig to the end. The only reason I watched Buffy was because of Angel. When Angel finally got his own show I couldnt belive it, I was overwhelmed with excitement from hearing about it. Then it came up on the final season it truly sucked, because I had watched all those shows and Buffy had done better then Angel in season wise, while im my point of view Buffy wasnt even in the same league of Angel. Angel was the single best show of all time that I have ever watched. They should really bring back the show Angel for another season because it didnt end right. I wanted to see the battle they was going to get in and everything they should make another season based off on this battle to save earth. And on and on Tell the people think it should end. That is my opinon on this.
