, I also scoff at the fact that you bitch about simpsons versus family guy because season 27 of simpsons is inferrior to season 2 of family guy.
I scoff at the fact that you think i've ever said such a direct comparison
Once again it sounds like your talking out of your ass and misquoting me *again*, I don't think i've ever said such a thing like that. You can cobble together a halfassed statement from scraps of different posts I bet though.It is true the latest series of Simpsons is PATHETIC. Its developed into an unfocused pseudo-sketch show. I've said that repeatedly, and that's completely true. The latest thing with Metallica is just a prime example, wtf kind of intro to an episode was that? I guess the fact that family guy isn't totally pathetic, at the sketch-story show it does, and simpsons is, probably has led to your brain patchworking stuff together. But your scoffing at yourself if so
I've grown to not like Family Guy very much anymore. South Park kind of had an effect of realisation. I'd not been fond, but it kind of focused on why.
No series of family guy was ever better than S2-~8 of the simpsons when simpsons wasn't a sketch show and relied on story driven jokes, its madness to suggest it is. Its not even worth a comparison. I'd take simpsons (including the shite) over family guy any day, but simpsons should have been cancelled 6 or 7 years ago.
I have rewatched series one of Buffy. Yeah i stand by what i said, Angel is way better
Its not quite as bad as I remember, and the camera work and setup is better, but its like a slow elderly relative watching buffy s1 in many ways 
Angel S1 is ropey, but I'd take the show as a package over buffy. Downloading series 2 since i don't seem to have it on file.I really don't see Buffy as being "far more complete" and sure as hell any more complex, its completely unfocused in the beginning. Angel in buffy is hella lame in s1 of buffy though, totally mismanaged but that's to fit into this Roswell high crap. His existance as a character is because as a hero he's a lot murkier than the others (or he would have been if handled correctly), although he doesn't pop out as a hero because the series is so slow and tame. As a bad guy he's a lot more effective as the others since he's involved with the main characters. Looks have very little to do with it in the ultimate summation, I realise that they probably played a part in the initial following, but he, like spike has that whole Vampire but not a vampire thing in the end, it was a prime candidate for a spinoff. In fact, the fact that Angel as a series is a perfect example of a spinoff, pretty much sums up why it was done. I guess the fact that 12 year old girls fancied him helped it along
Yet the conflicting bit was, Angel the series was never shown before 8pm in the uk unless it was highly censored. Channel 4 showed it at 10pm or 11pm, and Sky1 showed it immediately after Buffy at 9pm. I'm pretty sure Angel had higher viewing figures dispite the 9pm showing, but as you said, that's probably down to the latter series of buffy. It cut into Buffy's userbase, its obviously going to be smaller than buffy's following, and obviously won't appeal to those that liked the high school crap.[gunn's] entrance into the series and eventual exit.
Actually his exit was very well handled if you ask me, i think that's exactly how he needed to go. That is, bleeding to death with about 10mins to live. I also thought it was good how he just reverted to his original form of being muscle that was just their to kill vampires
the worst of which was prolly s1/2 with the powers that be (powers that be powerless, as it turns out)
No the powers that be weren't powerless, they are the exact same as The Wolf, The Ram and the hart it turns out, it was a counter balance, but the organisation Wolfram & Hart had just meant they were completely overpowered. They were old ones that were on the other side. I think the fact that they were't much help was great, it abandoned the heros, they got the missions but absolutely no real help. They've got the same influence, that is through 3rd parties. The fact that the finale of angel is entirely down to the vision that the powers send angel through Cordelia before her death shows that they were still alive and kicking despite being mobbed by the old one that posses cordelia and the whole connor thing which essentially put a cork in it. But that was later on, in series 1/2 they essentially just give the missions which the good guys being good, follow, despite the little help they get.
but they still kept fiddling and we end-up with lorne who is terribly awkward
He sure is awkward, but the ending scene of his charcater where he shoots Lindsey, and the whole he's just a flunky and he knows it was handled very well. I think like gunn, it ended well.
