Shame, especially considering ratings have actually improved from last year.

WB and Jaime Kellner Ride Again!
Well, once again, the WB programming director is scheduling according to personal taste, and viewers and sponsors be damned. (Are AOL Time Warner shareholders aware of this?) Kellner had never been a fan of "Angel" from the time he took over WB and had been deliberately bumping it from time slots to use a drop in viewership as an excuse for cancellation. (Kellner was the brains behind last season's super-expensive failure "Birds of Prey", this season's "Tarzan", and other assorted garbage that has infested WB since he has been in charge. "Charmed" was apparently also on his hit list, but he had nothing to replace it as yet. Stay tuned. Kellner is going to replace "Angel" with yet another attempt at reviving "Dark Shadows." Anyone remember the astounding and expensive NBC failure of a couple of seasons back?
Why isn't UPN going after "Angel"? They have a chance to correct the scheduling and promotional blunders they made with "Buffy" if they can ever get their heads out of the "Star Trek" clouds. Word is, however, that WB had an exclusive agreement on first-run "Angel" shows to avoid competition; believe me, Kellner is totally aware of "Angel's" popularity among the advertiser target viewers.
If you know any large individual AOL Time Warner shareholders, maybe they can put some pressure on Dick Parsons to cancel Jaime Kellner instead of "Angel." If it's critically acclaimed and popular (and not produced by an AOL Time Warner unit), Kellner will cancel it.
The Nazis who cancelled ANGEL!
Thank you Joss Whedon,David Greenwalt,David Boreanaz, anyone and everyone involved with this awesome show! I am very unhappy with the party responsible for cancelling the show!! Buffy and Angel put you Gnarls on the map! You suck!!!!!

save angel
James Marsters says what we can do to save Angel !!!
2004 - 02 - 17th
Update from the James Marsters forum...
* Quick Postcard Campaign to Save Angel
Unfortunately, emailing networks or posting in online petitions is a waste of time. As soon as they start getting emails, they set up spam filters to delete the mail and they don’t ever see what comes in. Waiting around for somebody to organize something is wasting precious time--organized campaigns are going to be great but here’s something you can do NOW.
If you want to actually do something that actually might--MIGHT--help to get another season for Angel...
DO THIS TOMORROW
1. Go and buy some postcards that show scenes from your city. Tourist postcards. Postcards that have the name of your town or city or area of the country on them. You don’t need anything fancy, just something that will show immediately where you are located so they know this is coming from all over.
2. Write a short message on the postcard in your own words saying that you want Angel to be renewed and support the show. Keep it positive. Don’t be insulting. Don’t be abusive.
3. Address the postcard to one of the people on the list of addresses in this message. Levin may ignore the cards coming into the WB, but the media outlets will see there’s a story in this and publicize it. The names on the list are in order of importance so start at the top and send as many postcards as you want to (or can afford to send).
4. Go and get at least six friends who probably aren’t reading this on the internet but would be willing to send postcards, and get them to do the same thing.
5. DO IT TOMORROW! Speed of response is what counts along with the size of the response. Don’t wait for instructions from some group. Just DO IT.
Here are the addresses to mail your cards to:
