PostSat Feb 14, 2004 4:24 pm    Please help me save "Angel!"

I've just receieved the horrible news that the WB has decided to cancel my favorite show, "Angel." I know this might not sound like a really big thing to a lot of you, but it's a huge deal to me. Please read here:
http://thewb.com/PressRelease/Index/0,8341,156980,00.html
If that link doesn't work for you, access http://thewb.com and click on Important News about Angel. Now that you've been informed about the situation, here's what I'm asking you to do:
PLEASE e-mail [email protected] and strongly urge them to sell Angel to another network. Here's a copy of what Thomas sent to them:
Having just heard of Angel's upcoming cancellation, I feel the need to express my despair and general feelings of anger and sadness to someone who can save a BLOODY GOOD show from its completely undeserved demise. Rather than depriving everyone of such a thought-provoking, mega-quality television prodigy, why not simply sell it to another network? That way, everyone is happy, and no where near as much hatred comes flying your way.

If you'd be willing to do this for me, I'd really love you all. Angel is the last thing we Buffy fans have left, and it would be absolutely ghastly to lose it.

If you e-mail, would you mind posting here? Not the actual e-mail, just that you contacted them. It would make me feel a bit more optimistic to know that some people are trying to save the show. Thanks! Please maintain a polite demeanor in your e-mail, because it's important that they actually think the person writing the e-mail is an intelligent viewer, otherwise they'll just discount your opinion. Please put in the subject line something like, "concerning the cancellation of Angel." Thank you so much, guys.

(I've posted this in Chit Chat because it's more a personal request, than a discussion of the show.)

Will do. I've watched Angel a couple times. It's a pretty good show.

Im amazed it lasted this long seeing how most of the time they show re runs odds are They'll cancel the series and UPN will pick it up like they did for Buffy.

For some reason, the [email protected] e-mail isn't working. I've checked it again, and it's the e-mail they've listed. My suggestion is to check the messageboard...I'm not sure what's up with the e-mail. Did anyone get it to go through?
Thank you so much, guys--your attempts mean so much to me.

Again, Aaron, I must remind you, this topic was not created to discuss "Angel." If you wish to do that, please go to Science Fiction & Fantasy Discussion. This thread is only to inform people.
Guys--try [email protected]. I just sent another e-mail there, and haven't gotten any returned e-mails yet.

I was just being bitchy Gosh, and it has everything to do with the topic

How about this "I do not wish to help you save Angel"?

Then don't post. I asked people to post only if they e-mailed or wished to support the campaign.

Thank you. I apologize if I snapped at you, but when people insult Buffy or Angel, I get a bit on the defensive. Kinda like T with JAG
I'm having my friend try the [email protected] address, because my e-mail is being really wonky right now.

You're right, Morphy. Don't worry And Firefly was INCREDIBLE. You can now get the series on DVD, I think Joss is contemplating making movies out of the idea, actually. Joss Whedon created Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. I miss Firefly!

If you guys would be willing to sign this petition to UPN to pick up Angel as part of their regular line-up, I'd really appreciate it.

http://www.petitiononline.com/upn4ats/

Thanks again!!

Mmm. That's no good. Thankfully, people are still able to e-mail the WB.
Thanks for trying, anyhow. I appreciate it.

OK, I just searched petitiononline.com. There is no save angel from cancellation petition, although there are TONS of other angel petitions. The petition simply doesnt exist!
