The Save Angel Newsletter
Volume 4 Issue 4
Editors: Endorill and rbottnlv52

Editorial: I was watching late night tv the other evening and I
caught a couple of guys from the TV Guide channel talking about the
new CW and what it might mean to the future of television. I was
struck by their assessment of the WB. They said that the WB started
out great but then they dropped BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, (and to be
honest, they mentioned other shows as well). The biggest fear in TV
is to really alienate an audience demographic, and that's what
they've done.

Now, I am going to be honest here. I have no clue who these guys
were, but it is the TV Guide segment with the street signs like on a
corner. They didn't mention dropping ANGEL as one of the big mistakes
that the WB made, I got to wondering why that was.

On every ANGEL site out here, in the Big Blue, there are thousands
that are screaming that they want more Joss Whedon vampires and spin
offs and movies. So why don't they know that in "STUDIO EXECUTIVE
LAND"?

They should know. We have given you guys campaigns and postcards to
download. There have been addresses given for letter writing and DVD
receipts to send in. Candy, flowers, cookies to send to soften them
up. We've sent out Publicity kits with action figures. Their
ignorance just doesn't add up.

Unless.......

I am beginning to think that maybe some are not doing their bit. I
bought and sent 100 postcards last year. I mailed an additional 20
DVD receipts. I am not looking for back pats. I am here to tell you
that my hundred is not worth anything unless you and ten of your
friends also send at least 5 each.

You have to print a few newsletters and leave them laying around the
comic shop or the public library or maybe even a college campus.

We still have a chance to get a made for tv or straight-to-DVD Spike
movie. We are beginning that campaign. Let's decide now, that this
outraged, alienated demographic is going to roar!

We are beginning our campaign for a Spike movie. We hope those of you
who follow fan clubs centering on James Marsters will join us. But if
you don't want to write a letter or fill out a post card, will you at
least print this newsletter and leave it in a place where others may
find it who DO want to join in the roar"?

I want to let the WB know: "You promised us a movie, and we don't
care who you merged with. If you don't make good on your promise, we
are going to show you the 'off button'."

So? Who wants to enlist? This is WAR!

Take A Letter, Cordelia

It's hard to believe that it's been almost two years since we last
saw Angel and the Whedonverse on television. Since then, Joss Whedon
and Tim Minear have talked about producing a tv or straight-to-DVD
movie centered around Spike. Even WB executive, David Janollari, has
expressed an interest in a Spike movie.

But statements about a Spike movie are few and far in between. They
seem more like whispers than anything else.

Well, it's time we let people know how much we like Spike and some of
our other favorite characters and how badly we want to see their
return. Because whispers are not enough, it's time to Spike the
Volume!

Let's show Joss our support and let him know how badly we want this.
