Angel's been hanging by a thread for the past
few years before this, Joss went in strange
ways (I swear someone needs to take away
whatever that guy is smoking) and WB has NOT
been happy with it.  Last year it took until
nearly May to get it signed on for another
season so many fans who knew of the problems
guessed that they would kill the show this
year.

It appears that WB ignored Angel so long as
they had Buffy (Angel's mother show) but once
they lost Buffy, they stopped liking the way
Angel was going.

As for WB's 'family oriented' programming,
Angel's cast of characters is, by and large,
a family group...granted it's a very strange
family but still.  I don't know...I wish the
WB had given them another chance to get it
going again, but they've been going down hill
for a few years now.
