...Smile Time was one funny episode. Seriously, how can you not love a show where the main character gets turned into a muppet? The attempts at dramatic shots were absolutely hilarious, particularly the trademark "primary cast walking out together to do battle with evil" shot with Angel-muppet carrying a sword across his cotton stuffed shoulders.
Anyhow, back to the matter at hand. Harking back to Buffy, which could have ended perfectly after the Glory arc, the show did get picked up by UPN who at the very least allowed Joss to give us the magnificent musical episode. I don't think that's going to happen with Angel, since we've all seen Angel sing and...the less said, the better! Although having the episode revolve around Lorne would be spectacular.
While the rumor that Angel is going to UPN is currently unfounded, there are substantial rumblings about the WB putting together a proposal to send Angel off to UPN. Shows on the chopping block to be axed usually don't have much hope, but Angel has more than a little considering what happened to Buffy. UPN isn't exactly known for top rated shows and the current flagship of UPN, Enterprise, isn't doing as well as they'd hoped.
Considering Angel's current condition, I'm hoping that those executives at UPN see the potential dollar signs in picking up Angel, and those at the WB see them too...although not so much that they make Angel an unattractive investment. Here's to Angel following Buffy's footsteps!
