A new avenue of enthusiasts?

[StoyBoy720]

I know its a whole strength in numbers thing, and there's been a lot of mentioning that ANGEL fans aren't too thrilled about their show moving to BoP's timeslot.

This could be a VERY GOOD thing.

We just have to get the ANGEL fans on our side, hopefully we can increase our ranks. They may not be fans of BoP but they are indirectly concerned about its well-being. Think about it, if BoP stayed on the air ANGEL wouldn't be moved, most likely. They have something to lose to, granted not as much as BoP fans but it's still something to target to get more people on our side.

The ANGEL fans can be like the Cardassians turning away from the Dominion and joining with the Federation in the series finale of DEEP SPACE NINE, and for anyone who was a fan of DS9 knows that was basically the biggest turning point in the war, and said war was ended quickly thereafter.

[The Godfather]

Didn't get that far..stopped watching after they killed Dax...;)

That said...the show at this point is still going to get moved. They've been advertising ATS moving to Wednesday for a few weeks now.

However we can get the ATS fans to join with us in the vein of stop screwing with our show...

the what? i watched some voyager but that was it-but i do think i know where your goin witth that

[Frostbite]

Using something that happens in a TV show as a metaphor about TV shows. Quite odd.

[SevenSlave]

Whoa ... forging alliances.

This is a full-scale war! :eek:

[msugirl85]

'd like to see that happen

[Ivy]

So... who are [is] the brave soul[s] who are going to offer up the alliance to the Angel fans? *watches Angel, but does not converse about it* It's a good plan. Now we just have to execute it...

[AshleysSlave]

Worth trying...after all if Angel moves to wednesdays it means its on its way out...its fans wont want that

[hb695]

The reason they are moving 'Angel' to wednesdays is because of that new reality show called 'High School Reunion'.

[AshleysSlave]

Maybe...but it'll affect the rating

[MethyLBroMidE]

Ok, I'll go feel 'em out, if y'all are sure about this.

A recon of the Angel board at theWB.com uncovered little sign of protests, petitions, or activism on part of the members there. Passive after-thanksgiving grumbling occurred after the news broke, and afterwards, mostly silence.

A few didn't approve of the WB moving Angel around so much.
A few didn't want Angel and Charmed to be split up.
A few were happy about Alias and Angel on different days-times.


After November 25th, 15 threads out of 900 (1.6%) were found mentioning the time-day change:

If I recall, some of the more senior members here were thinking more about getting people to like the show maybe. Thoughts?

[The Godfather]

What we need is an actual setup of a blackout campaign..which means banners..

[hb695]

How many 'Angel' fans are angry about the timeslot change?

[MethyLBroMidE]

How many Angel fans are pissed at the time-slot change?

If the subject matter of threads posted on this board can be used as a rough sample-estimate of overall fan reaction:

1.6% of all threads started an opinion on the matter.

Out of those threads, 7 different individuals voiced anger:

-One later got over it.

-One was frustrated over having to watch TV on two different nights (for Charmed and Angel) instead of one.

-One can't watch TV on Wednesday nights because of kick-boxing lessons.

[msugirl85]

interresting findings MethyLBroMidE

[Frostbite]

So basically, not that many.

[MethyLBroMidE]

It seems reasonable that if given a choice, numbers of "Angel" viewers would probably have opted to keep the show on Sunday, as they've already gotten used its present time.

Though some grumbled about yet another time change, few seemed angry enough to make a stand. Maybe some intuitively feel there's no sense getting worked-up over something they have little control over. Or perhaps some are privately relieved that "Angel" is being just moved and not cancelled. I dunno.

Or maybe the evil Angel fans are busily plotting anarchy at another site . . .:fume:

[Jesse321]

Even if its only a few if we can get them on our side its that many more people. LOL ... I read this once on a bumper sticker and later on a t-shirt (Please note I'm not meaning to insult anyone here)

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.

Hell, just look at the dimwit we have for a president ... do you need anymore proof.

[Ivy]

My money's on plotting on another site. Or at least commenting on it. Just because the Buffy/Angel fandoms move in their own circles. Course, I'm not exactly sure where those circles are anymore. ;)

[hb695]

I saw the promos for 'High School Reunion'(from the creator of 'the bachelor') & 'The Sureal Life' during the 'Nature of the Beast' episode and they both suck. 'The Sureal Life' is nothing but a ripoff of 'MTV Cribs' and 'High School Reunion will suck.:mad:

[Bcool]

I thought the same thing I was watching the promos thinking: This is what Levan is killing BOP for... If this goes down I know two more show that probably won't make it... :D

Bcool

[TheDarkKnight]

I'm ANGEL fan somewhat, I really don't tune in as much as I used to but I was fine with the Sunday timeslot and I'm ticked at the WB heads moving the show for these rip-off reality shows, among other things. What really gets me though is the fact, that THE JAMIE KENNEDY EXPERIMENT is actually staying on the air. Who watches that? I mean come on people, BIRDS OF PREY at least added a little flavor to their schedule. Now, it's rip-off MTV month.

Doesn't look like the WB is paying its audiences any attention. Go figure.

[Bcool]

Well then maybe the audience shouldn't pay the WB any attention.

Except the people in Cribs are still famous.

[CYPRESS13]

AS much as I want the show to stay, I think the reality is that BOP is doomed to leave the WB. The best case scenario is to hope another network picks it up. At least if that happens then it might get some backing. As late as last week, the WB was telling callers that the decision regarding the BOP was still pending. As of this week, they are officially telling people it has been cancelled. The only way BOP has a chance of surviving at the WB is if Levin (and his issues) leaves, but that does not seem likely in the foreseeable future. My money is on another network hopefully picking it up.

[hb695]

How about suing Levin & Kellner for Malpractice and over-stepping their responsibilities as network presidents (like both presidents LBJ & Nixon who've also over-stepped their powers as presidents during the Vietnam war 1965-1975).:fight:

[SevenSlave]

Levin DOES have the power to cancel a show ... :rolleyes:

Kellner is out of the loop on this issue -- he's in Atlanta. The fault here primarily lies with Levin.

[hb695]

We he over-stepped his so-called "power" and he should be suied.

[SevenSlave]

^ Sue him for what?! :confused:

[StoyBoy720]

I thought us sending comics to Kellner in the first place was in hope of him overstepping Levin anyway.

[hb695]

Oh , I forgot about that.Kellner should fire Levin before he does more damage.



P.S. We should get rid of 'High School Reunion'(it looks like a ripoff of 'temptation island') and 'The Sureal Life' before they broadcast it,so that 'Angel' can stay on sundays.
