| Subject: I hope E gets through to the WB or UPN to save Angel and put it back. Seems like the fans want it and I think they should save it and let Angel go on and live. |

>1. The Fan Efforts Are Unprecedented. Not only have

>full-page ads in the Hollywood Reporter and Variety,
>they're taking positive action by sending flowers to

>rallies in Los Angeles and Hamburg, Germany--and even
>holding a blood drive to keep Angel alive. You will
>not find more dedicated fans!

>2. The Ratings Are Strong. Its average of 3.7 million
>viewers this season--those aforementioned die-hard
>fans--proves Angel packs more Nielsen's power than
>most WB and UPN shows. And thanks to syndication on
>TNT, many new viewers are discovering the series.

>3. The Fans Deserve a Good Send-Off. The cancellation
>happened so late in the game that mastermind Joss
>Whedon simply doesn't have time to work up an adequate
>farewell--one with all the brilliant touches I'm sure
>he'd imagined for Angel's swan song. According to my
>sources, producers have contacted Sarah Michelle
>Gellar, Alyson Hannigan and Michelle Trachtenberg
>about returning, but due to the late notice, none have
>yet been able to commit. Sarah might be available, but
>Alyson is starring in a London play and Michelle has
>been cast in a Disney movie, so they aren't expected
>to be back.
>
>
>4. The New Dynamic Is Working: It has been around for
>five seasons, but Angel really hit its stride this
>year with the addition of James Marsters and the big,
>fancy Wolfram & Hart set. The storylines have kept us
>on the edge of our seats--proving there is lots more
>life in the show.
>
>5. It's One of the Best Dramas on Television: Sorry,
>but it has to be said. With shows like The Help, The
>Mullets and Run of the House getting screentime this
>season, the WB and UPN should feel lucky to have a
>show like Angel to avoid sinking further into a pit of
>mediocrity. Angel has more heart and soul than any of
>that cheesy "family programming" and boasts some of
>the best writing on television, which is why it's
>consistently championed by critics and fans alike.
>
>
>It's never too late to do the right thing. Save Angel,
>and you'll be a hero to millions of fans around the
>world (and one lowly tube maven who'll never be the
>same without it).
