A Stake Through the Heart of Quality Television
For many, Friday the 13th is a day of superstition. It is a day where one should watch over shoulders and remain ever vigilant lest something dreadful happens upon them. And last Friday, 13 April 2004, something vile transpired within the hallowed land of signals, coaxial cable and pizza-sized satellite receivers. This was the day the five-year-old program Angel died at the hands of a merciless troll (read "television executive") at the WB Network.

Dawn's Eurotrip
Michelle Trachtenburg leaves Dawn behind. Alyson Hannigan made a surprising break from Buffy to appear in the feelthy American Pie, and the role worked for her – she's now an established star with a film franchise and her name in lights in London's West End – whereas the rest of the Buffy cast have had a surprisingly quiet year. |

However, some tight jeans and a bikini start to change their minds.

More on Saving Angel |
Saving Angel
The Saving Angel Campaign is a multifaceted coalition from all spectrums of the Whedonverse fandom, including groups previously responsible for placing a number of full page fan ads in The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and other publications. We have banded together as a collective body to support the continuation of ANGEL beyond this season. We are eternally thankful for the creative efforts of Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt, the cast, writers, and crew of ANGEL, and we feel that it is too soon for their voices to be silenced. We are willing to follow ANGEL wherever it may go and hope that you will join our cause. |
