If that wasn't so spoilery, Juliana, I would be tagging it right now.
Great interview. Although my subscription edition of TVG did NOT have B/A on the cover! I ASK you!
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Caroma, I feel your pain. I see it mocking me from the newstand, but I'm just not enough of a demented fanboy for that. Plus, I'm too much of a packrat as it is - I'm currently trying to reign in the clutter, so adding to it is NG.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Hello! I must be going.
Hey, at least I've got the articles. Which I, er, haven't read yet because I usually don't bother with the non-listings anymore.
Anybody know what the ratings were? There were few actual WB ads, but the finale got a lot of hype in the media.

'Buffy' Finale Stakes Strong Ratings for UPN Wed, May 21, 2003 04:48 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" went out as it came in -- as a hit among younger viewers, if not the general populace.
Tuesday's (May 20) series finale, in which Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), the Scoobies and an army of potential slayers battle the First Evil, drew 4.9 million viewers to UPN. The episode drew the biggest audience for the show since October 2002 and finished well above "Buffy's" season average of 3.8 million viewers.
It also scored well in the teen and young-adult demographics UPN targets. The finale averaged a 2.7 rating among people ages 12-34 and adults 18-34, beating all of the big three networks in the hour. (It trailed only FOX's "American Idol" sing-off and the "Gilmore Girls" finale on The WB.)
The finale also gave a boost to the premiere of "America's Next Top Model," which improved on the time period's season average across the board.
Of course, "Buffy" was never about getting huge ratings. Based on anecdotal evidence -- Internet message boards and the like -- the finale seems to have pleased most of the show's fiercely devoted fans.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Anyone who knows... Did Nick B's pilot get pushed off until mid-season? I thought I read here that it was a go for fall, but then I thought I read elsewhere that it wasn't picked up, and only might be picked up as a replacement, come the new year.
(Oh and in which case - feh. I want more Nick on my TV.)

Those numbers are especially not-bad because it was on against American Idol, which I think everyone else in the world watched.
