Angel & Wonderfalls

I've spent considerable time over the past few weeks talking to network, studio and production insiders, as well as a few of the actors (we'll get to them below), and I can tell you this with a fair amount of certainty:

Angel is not coming back. At least not as the weekly TV series we now know and love. It sucks, and it's wretched and wrong. But the sooner we all accept that, the sooner we can move on.

UPN isn't picking it up because they (apparently) now have a strict policy against picking up other networks 'table scraps'. The WB is, apparently, looking at Angel for one or two (or 6?!) movies of the week next year.

The WB is also looking at Wonderfalls for a possible spot in their line-up next fall.

Let the little plastic animals SING!

Sad about "Angel". Glad about "Wonderfalls".

Suppose they do make 6 TV movies. That's like half a season. Why not just give them half a fucking season?

Presumably, they'd be looking to artificially raise the raitings by making actual 'special Angel events'. If the fan outcry has done anything, it's shown the WB that there are serious Angel fans out there that would watch. So, while the core audience isn't growing for a television show, they'd have a guaranteed hit with a movie.

Aren't TV movies a bit disgusting though?

Generally, with "movie of the week" type fare, yes. The type of TV movie where they fictionalize something like a highly-publicized kidnapping of child or that girl who was captured in Iraq last year, those are crap. But I find it hard to believe that Mutant Enemy would screw up an Angel movie. And it's probably not so much a TV movie as it will be like a double episode like "All Good Things..." Trek and Babylon 5 have been doing such things for years. And for Buffy's 6th season, there were TWO such events.

Aaaaaah, ok. Now I remember "Dark Frontier" was marketed as being "feature length" or a movie, you could even tun he box set cover inside out to get alittle movie box for it.
