News:
BTW, I hear that the upcoming animated version of
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
will feature the Scoobies the way they were
in high school,
which means that,
at least in the cartoon, Buffy, Angel, Cordy
and the whole crew
will be together once again!

Ellen wants to know just one thing: "Are they going to keep 'Angel' on the air?"
I've actually gotten that one from a few readers, but rest assured: "Angel" is doing very well this season, and the WB is very happy with
the show, with one WB exec telling me that the net thinks "Angel" is better than it has ever been. Some people, in fact, have said they
think "Buffy's" departure actually may have been a blessing in disguise for "Angel," because it finally gave the show a chance to shine
on its own, instead of simply being known as "the Buffy spin-off." Whatever your feelings about "Buffy," though, "Angel," again," is in
great shape. In fact, the WB gave the series a huge vote of confidence early this week. Starting Jan. 10, "Angel" will begin airing twice
a week: in its current Monday at 9 p.m. timeslot, and then also at 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Insiders say this may be part of the WB's plan to
eventually move the show to Thursdays permanently, because they feel it's strong enough to compete against NBC's "Friends." Now,
for those who love both "Angel" and "Friends," that's gonna make for hectic viewing, lots of VCR-ing or lots of channel flipping, but the
good news, obviously, is that the WB thinks "Angel" is quality enough to go head-to-head with "Friends" in the ratings. Cool, huh?
PS. Just a bit of "Angel" storyline scoop for ya: I'm getting more and more confirmation that an Angel (David Boreanaz)/Cordelia
(Charisma Carpenter) hook-up is going to happen, and that Gunn (J. August Richards) and Wesley (Alexis Denisof) are going to find
themselves in a bit of a love triangle with Fred (Amy Acker)! Kinda makes you think this gang needs to branch out and meet other
people, with all that inter-office dating, huh? Anyhoo, thanks Ellen, for writing!

The new TV season is in full-swing now, with new shows continuing to premiere throughout the next couple of months. That means
there's lots of tube scoop to dish, so let's jump in, 'kay?
The biggest TV news of the week is the season premiere of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer!" The sixth season which, don't forget, moves
to the UPN network this season, kicks off with a 2-hour dose on Tuesday night at 8 p.m. ET.
To recap: Last we saw, Buffy was dead. (Not to worry though: she WILL be resurrected). Seems that since her passing, Willow and
Tara have been living at the Summers' residence with Dawn, so that Buffy's dad - who doesn't know that she died - won't take Dawn
away. Elsewhere, Xander and Anya are still keeping their engagement a secret, and Anya is waiting for Giles to make good on his
promise to have her take over the magic shop.
~*~
As promised to those Buffy fans who emailed to say that they've felt "UN-SCOOPED" lately, here's a bit o' Buffy stuff:
First: the wedding - or NOT - of Xander and Anya. The duo is scheduled to marry during a January episode, but word is that it may
never happen. Seems the nervous groom-to-be gets a wicked case of cold tootsies, which means that Anya is left standing at the altar!
And you know what they say about a woman scorned . . . in Anya's case, she turns into a vengeance-seeking demon and goes after
her man. Now, don't fret. Anya only temporarily reverts to her demon self, before deciding that, even as a demon, she just can't hurt
Xander. But whether or not that means the couple actually ends tying the knot remains to be seen. But given creator Joss Whedon's
philosophy that he'll never let the characters on the show be truly happy, I'd say it's altogether possible that the two Scoobies may
never exchange those vows.
Also: Tuesday night's UPN episode is a repeat (8 p.m. ET), but it's a classic: it's "The Body," from last season, which is the incredibly
sad and moving installment in which Buffy and Dawn's mom dies.
