why are you chopping the interviews up, i want to see the whole thing

[br260454]

@yayap001 Interview was for on-air purposes. Segments are now available for online.

Angel is still pretty much my all time favourite show (along with Smallvile.) Such a great cast of well written characters, great storylines and constant excitement.

@thelonelyslayer She's a diva. Honestly, SMG fans refuse to accept it but while Buffy is great, Sarah is really not a nice human being.

7 seasons Buffy dvds, yet not one SMG interview on the special features. WTF?

buffy duh rocked no if and or buts more than angel . but angel was a good show on its own and i think it was differten from buffy casue buffy was made for teenagers and angel was made for 20somethings . and james was also brought on casue like buffy when cordy left they needed the funny and he was pefcet for that . and i dont think you can blame anyone person for makeing a show suck . its all the pepole that work on the show . alot pepole thought marit noxon mad buffy bad .

Aw, I really want to meet Joss Whedon. I also really want to hit thumbs down just because no one has but that's more of a big red button with the words don't push on it then anything else...

@MyMojosSoDope Exactly. Greenwalt seemed to care about Angel the most; and actually knew what he was doing it with. I really wish he would have stayed on; I think not only would Angel have lasted longer; it would have been handled differently and effectively. It just seemed like every season after season 2; they didn't know what direction to take; so they changed it every season; and just made it worse.

Season 4 was so unorganized. I think they had too many villains going on for one thing.

[MyMojosSoDope]

@JackLivesTogether I completely agree with you. After David Greenwalt left Angel, Whedon and the other showrunners just didn't seem like they knew what to do with it. Season 4 was all over the place, and season 5, while still good was drastically different in tone then what had proceeded it.

[MyMojosSoDope]

@Browncoatt22 I would have to disagree. I think Buffy had higher highs and lower lows, but Angel was just consistently good. I can think of several stretches of Buffy that I really don't care for, but theres only one section in season 4 of Angel that I feel the same way about. I also think in terms of tone and themes I enjoyed Angel much more. I always feel like Angel is sort of the red headed step child of Whedon's work. Its just sort of a footnote next to Buffy, which is a real shame to me.

[Browncoatt22]

@2Good2BeTrue45 I would disagree there. Buffy was way better put together than Angel, Angel never uite knew what t was all about, and was a bt messy because of it. It had some amazing moments, but collectively as a show, Buffy was far stronger.

[Browncoatt22]

@JackLivesTogether I would disagree about Angel's last season, I thought the show really picked up wth the addition of Illyria and Spike. It wa a shame to ruin Spikes sacrifice in Buffy but he made Angel so much better in it's last days. The interplay between the two vamps was very amusing and nteresting to watch, almost father and son, almost brothers. I liked it alot.
