Get it? Because vampires 'suck' blood.

It must be sad to have a contract to produce or star in a show when everyone starts hating onit as early as the up-fronts and you know your project if doomed from the get-go. I mean, getting paid to do anything is nice, but once you know you've got a flop on your hands don't you just want to move on and find something new?

this negativity is entirely based on a couple paragraphs of description. This could be great if there's lots of graphic violence and four of the cast regulars have enormous breasts. Otherwise, not so likely.

Anyway, digression aside, I will not be watching this new vampire/detective melarkey, which also sounds a bit like that book by that guy (you know the one). That was in New York, too.

I think I need professional help.

angel was briliant.one of teh best shows in the last decade. a travesty it was cancelled, brilliant writing, brilliant actors had the whole package. I fell into the buffyverse by watching an epsiode of buffy that i saw on tv one day by casually flicking through the channels. it was buffy vs dracula, i think the opening for season 5 or 4. anyhow, i watched it and thought this show is increbibly acted and written. i had previously dismissed it as teenage angst nonsense.

anyhow i got the dvds and they were brilliant, i watched angel from that and that show i thought was becoming even better

its a travesty that the no shows from joss are on tv right now. i'd love to get into this new vamp show, but im not going to, even with grenwalt on board. i'd ratehr have angel back then a cheap copy, even though i know thats not going to happen since he's on that lacklustre bones show

we need a new vamp series joss, save us from the current slew of rubbish thats out there (this exlcudes, galatica, 24, lost, house, heroes, boston legal and the dead zone( veronica mars rip)

I'll watch this show. You'll watch this show. Let's hold hands.

Why even bother watching the network shows? They push all of their crap on us then give it no support.

In happier news... Rescue Me is back in twelve days...

Angle got good at the end.

Frantic Lady: Mr. Zombie, my daughter is missing and the police won't help. You are my last hope, can you help me?

Zombie PI: Hruggg... Ghraa.. Braaainns!

Frantic Lady: So you will take the case?

OK, I guess only I would watch it but come on! Zombies on TV is a good thing.

Is it possible that somebody at CBS saw potential in 'Angel' that was never realized due to cancelleation (btw, On one hand I agree that our two ageless vampires were startling to look not so ageless, on the other hand Angel season 5 is one of my favorite runs of genre TV ever, just under Babylon 5 season 4).

Anyhoo, CBS can't just relaunch 'Angel', but why not tap what they saw as potential and spin an un-origonal idea into an origional universe?

Other than the massive chance that it will, indeed, be bad TV, that is.

Not saying THIS will be the new definative thing, but, well, we will see, I suppose.

I mean, look at "Firefly" and "Battlestar Galactica". Space adventure has been done to death and goes back to the black-and-white serial days. However, there is still a chance to look at what came before, keep what worked, ditch what didn't (or won't anymore) and surprise the audience.

Still... This show is gonna have an uphill battle, to be sure, even if it is halfway decent.

Shame tho - I heard they're going to recast the black guy with the bugaboo eyes.
