When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

What other women did Willow ever really get close to?

Amy, I suppose, but then she was a rat.

As it turned out, yeah.

Reading that farewell in The Australian made me all sniffly again.

OK, Hitler is figure skating in Hell even as we speak.

The WB just aired a big sparkly promo announcing that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is going to be airing on their network Sunday nights this fall, starting with the very first episode.

I sure wasn't expecting the first Mutant Enemy promo for the new season to be for a show other than Angel. Could this mean that the Fox/WB animosity is at an end, and be an unexpected good sign about how Angel is going to be treated?

(For one brief, shining moment, I didn't realize they were advertising reruns, and thought Joss might have pulled a huge surprise on everyone with an 8th season...)

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Seriously? How weird. I mean, they're still being run on FX, right?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Their budget is six bucks a week and a case of Moxie soda. They might start airing commercials that you can feed an Angel actor for the price of a cup of coffee, before we ever see a promo for the show.

Hey, the shortage of food might at least keep DB in the trim shape he ended last season in. Okay, Alexis and Amy can't afford to lose any weight, so we may need to contribute there...

Something tells me the WB took a look at how their income levels changed when Buffy went to UPN, considered the tie-in potentials with Angel, then called Joss. I wonder if they'll show Seasons 6 & 7 or if those belong to Fox and UPN.

"God...my brilliance is now becoming a bit of a burden...get back to me." Dr. Cox - Scrubs

The WB in my area airs Buffy in syndication every sunday night already? What time are they talking about? Not during the primetime lineup right?? Because the WB on Sunday has programing from like 4 PM to 9 PM. With their Easy View stuff and all. I am still convinced they should have had Angel "Beginnings" like they have had the past few seasons with other shows. Instead they chose Smallville.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Smallville is either their top-rated or their second-best rated show. Angel has *never* performed well in reruns. Which one would you have picked, if you were a network exec?

Angel, just because I would have waited for Smallville Beginnings until after the 3rd season. Smallville really doesn't need any help on ratings and I think it was their number 1 show for the season. Seems to me I remember that it was "7th Heaven" at the beginning of the season and then switched over to "Smallville". Granted I like both Smallville and Angel, but I would give a show that struggles in the ratings any kind of boost or support I could come up with.

I can't remember what the WB did end up deciding for their Sunday night lineup now that "Fearless" has been pushed back to midseason. I thought it was Everwood easyview, Fearless easyview, and Smallville beginnings before the primetime lineup of Tarzan and Charmed. Now I wonder what will replace Fearless easyview? Probably One Tree Hill easyview.

Edited to add: I am pleased to announce that Pepsi Smash is sucking ass in the ratings this Summer. Last week got a 1.4/2!!! I think an Angel rerun could muster that and wouldn't cost to get all those bands and guest hosts. But I am sure Pepsi is probably footing that bill. Then again the Smallville rerun that night also got a 2.2/4 so it is probably just no one is watching the WB during the summer.
