Monday 14 June 2004, by Anonymous : Cancel your best show and then quit the following month. Nice one, Jordy. ;)Monday 14 June 2004, by Anonymous : He should of left a long time ago. Maybe then Angel would still be around and Buffy wouldnt of left for UPN and 7th Heaven and Charmed would be gone by now. Lets hope the next one is better.Monday 14 June 2004, by Shane : If only he would have resigned 6 months ago, we may still have Angel.Tuesday 15 June 2004, by iHateLevin : WHAT A LOSER!!

Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Gonzalo : WHY DIDN’T HE RESIGNED BEFORE ANGEL GOT CANCELLED?! WHY?!Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Ron H : Glad to hear it. Which he would have resigned February 12, 2004, instead of now. We’d still have our show.Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Anonymous : HAHAHA YESSSSSSS TAKE THAT U SHIT!!!!!!!

Get someone with brains in there.Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Anonymous : That’s good news I’m glad he retired the way he treated us Angel fans for axing the show!Tuesday 15 June 2004, by PISSED OFF IN GA : AFTER THAT FAGGOT CANCELED ANGEL!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!Tuesday 15 June 2004, by faith : was he the one who axed angel?Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Potential : All I can say is... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Die and burn, Levin.Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Anonymous : too bad his resignation didn’t come a few months ago, there’d be a lot of happy Angel fans looking forward to season 6 if he had.Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Stephen : Oh, of course, after exacting his damage on Angel — then, he leaves.Tuesday 15 June 2004, by sspoiled : ::giggles::Tuesday 15 June 2004, by WattMan : Da na na na Da na na na Da na na naaaah Hey hey hey hey GoodBye!!!! Tuesday 15 June 2004, by tailmonkey : Maybe a "Ressurect Angel" campaign should be gearing up to target new ears...Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Anonymous : ha ha.. too many bad decisions, huh? ha!Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Gwahir : Let’s not be too hasty in saying "yey he’s gone but only if..." Do not forget that if he had not been there, Angel may never have goten this far! And who’s to say that the alternative would’ve kept Angel? What I am saying is that what he did (cancelling Angel) was the worst and stupidest move ever and I hate him colossally for that, but you all seem to think that ONLY he would do it - I find it hard to believe that no-one else would be capable and willing. ...stupid Jordan Levin. Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Jemmy : Gahhhhh good riddance... Gahhh. Stupid man. As to whether he was pushed or not? I suspect he was. And if not... he should have been. Hey, maybe there’s hope now! Who knows - maybe his replacement will be so disgusted with the current state of TV crap and reinstate Angel (with a better timeslot and some advertisement hopefully) Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Seaneeboy : This story has now been confirmed, he’s jumped before he was pushed into a demotion...Tuesday 15 June 2004, by AngelFan3131 : Now if only we could get joss whedon to somehow be the ceo that would be hilairously awesomeTuesday 15 June 2004, by Slayer : I’m sure this has nothing to do with him defying all protests by cancelling ’Angel’... NOT!!! Good riddance to the bastard, I say. It’s just a shame that he managed to take out ’Angel’ before getting fired. I say he got fired, because it’s too coincidental with him deciding to leave one month after the WB lose their second-highest rating show. Tuesday 15 June 2004, by jjjay : Once you’ve captured lightning in a bottle - Beware the small minded prick with a hammer !Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Anonymous : this guy is a total idiot . first he takes the best show on tv off THE AIR then he goes and quits jordan levin i just want to say ....YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Spikearette31 : Its the ANGEL prophecy, You messed with the angel show and angel fans and people make decisions that make no sense. Like, they didnt want levin anymore so they offered to give him his old job back:Canceling Angel a money making show. Can you see the balance here people?Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Jason : FAO Site Administrator You must be new to this whole "validating" concept: The term FAGGOT is offensive. Don’t allow it on messages again. Got that? P***ed off buffy/angel fan. Tuesday 15 June 2004, by Lil : OK, why don’t we think a little? Do you really think that JL is out because ATS? Come one.... dismal ratings season for all shows, failed pilots (anybody say with me Tarzan)Charmed going down, Gilmore girls in trouble, Smallville with bad ratings... and it was because ATS? Don’t you know how it works this? HE WAS NOT THE OWNER OF THE WB, he had bosses. They DID agree about the cancellation. It was not only JL. And even if the campaign for Saving Angel was incredible in terms of money, that DIDN’T WAS REFLECTED IN RATINGS... the numbers were a media of 2.5 even after the announce of the end, the only exception was NFA. See the numbers and you maybe could understand WHY was cancelled: Millons of viewers average. Season 1: N/A Season 2: 4.8 Season 3 (remember, BTVS in UPN, so this was basic to know the real base of ATS fan): 4.7 Season 4: 3.9 Season 5 (without the reruns, wich made will make the number down): 4.1 So, they lost almost a millon of viewers in season 4 thanks to the awfull plot that bored a lot of fans. Season 5, with BTVS ended and Angel as the only one show from the Buffyverse, WAS SUPPOUSED TO HAVE ALL THE BTVS VIEWERS. And that DIDN’T HAPPEN! The last part, the numbers were similar or even worst (harms way, WWF, etc), than season 4. A lot of fans didn’t like the changes and stopped watching, a lot of people keep watching but they were protesting for the changes and the almost irreconocible show for them, the non BTVS viewers were pissed off because all the reference to a show that they didn’t care: one thing is the natural reference that they were used in season 1 to 4 and another is buffy every two seconds and a love triangle that never happened in the show aa one of the principal plot (even more when the character was saying that he was over Buffy for two seasons and calling his past life a tragic farse, that alienates fans!)... So when the big boost of ratings didn’t happened (the opening was similar to the one in season 3) and the number started to go down, the choice was obvious, guys: A expensive show, that made horrible in reruns (a media of 1 point of rating..), and you read in your forum, and feedback section that the show is not the same as before, that you’re getting bored, etc (like it was happening in WB’s site), plus the big campaign for saving it makes a big buuzz but the ratings are the same or lower, the decision is clear: out. I’m sad about ATS not being there, but maybe because of my work, I can understand why and, being honest, was logical. Sad, but predictable. I saw it coming. Now it’s JL blame, before this was the Cordy fans and C/A that make the show cancelled (I read this from a big B/A thread at WB and in several forums)...Grow up! JL is not the Devil. HE DIDN’T TAKE THE DESICION ALONE, HE HAD BACK-UP FROM HIS BOSSES, IF NOT, THE OWNERS OF WB WOULD ORDER HIM TAKE ANGEL BACK... I know you will start to insult me, blah, blah, blah. I don’t care. JW made "some" mistakes with the season 4: the arc, the destruction of Cordelia’s character for his personal problems with the actress, the ilogicals explanations, the contradictions, the sex between the son of the hero and the suppoused love interest of the father, the soft Angelus (kill the best, not killing humans, discovering that was Jazmine using Cordy’s body....Boy he did more good than Angel), etc... almost ended in a cancelation. He couldn’t recuperate/keep the viewers in season 5. He changed the show and tried to make a mix with BTVS that didn’t like a lot of former viewers, the lack of ideas, the same thing again and again: father vs son (Wes, Spike/Angel, Angel/sailor), someone taking the body of some character, episodes almost copied from other seasons of ATS or BTVS... Joss is not a poor guy and JL is not the DEvil.I don’t find any guilty here, just production/writing’s mistake and a bussines desicion Wednesday 16 June 2004, by Lex : Talk about following Angel into Hell.Wednesday 16 June 2004, by Anonymous : Thank gods! Maybe they’ll get somebody with brains in there and we can get some desent programing for once.Wednesday 16 June 2004, by Lia : Ha! Who’s the beyatch now?Wednesday 16 June 2004, by judy -Canada : He got what was coming.I haven’t watched wb since the end of Angel!!!Thursday 17 June 2004, by stephanie : please don’t say faggot. it makes you sound like a basher. and come on, this is a buffy site. and on buffy, willow is/was gay, as was tara, and keneddy. think twice next time. seriously. you sound really lame. Friday 18 June 2004, by Anonymous : I don’t think many people are actually evil. It’s not like he’s got any obligation to do the decent thing or anything. It’s all business and money and all that. And he probably wasn’t the sole responsible either. Still, he did it. And now, wether or not it’s a consequence of those actions, he’s getting canned. You gotta admit it’s pretty good irony.These comments are an anwser to this article : The WB’s CEO Jordan Levin poised to resign |
