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

I would give a show that struggles in the ratings any kind of boost or support I could come up with.

A show that has NEVER performed well in reruns, you would give an entire season's worth of reruns to? Congratulations; you've just lost your job.

Smallville really doesn't need any help on ratings and I think it was their number 1 show for the season.

This is why it gets the "Beginnings" slot. Which has previously gone to Seventh Heaven and The Gilmore Girls. They're not looking to help shows with this gimmich, they're looking to consolidate (and wring everything they can out of) hits.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I wonder if, in a way, Buffy reruns are a way of promoting Angel. Depending on if they do any promotion during the breaks. Show the backstory and the history of the character before you start a season. Then you can win both ways. Buffy fans will stick around for both. People who only heard about Buffy round about seasons 4or later can tune in and get the Angel backstory and maybe give his show a chance.

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

Exactly why I am not a network exec. I get too behind something I believe in or love to think about the money side of things.

Kind of makes me wonder why I am still financially alright with the world after all these years...

Strawberry disappointment.

Can't see many viewers sticking around for Angel if they've just watched DB acting in the S1 of Buffy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yes, but we're not the coveted teenage viewers who might me enticed by the S1 romantic lurker stalker boy.

Strawberry disappointment.

And what's more romantic than being stalked by a guy in a frilly shirt and eye-liner?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The only way it could be more romantic is if he had a parrot on his shoulder.

Strawberry disappointment.

Unfortunately, in this case, the only things on his shoulders were pads.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm confused here. Is someone being stalked by Angel or Duran Duran?

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

Can't see many viewers sticking around for Angel if they've just watched DB acting in the S1 of Buffy.

Many many many teenaged girls. Many. And hell, we got hooked.

in this case, the only things on his shoulders were pads.

That's all Boreanaz, I swear. I was standing next to the guy at a party once, and he's like a Neanderthal with good posture and unfortunate choice in cowboy boots. And handsome as anything. Really very stunning to look upon that face.
