I just don't think Buffy and Angel will be as timeless 30 years from now as DS has been. All of the pop culture jokes, etc., while highly amusing now, might totally fall flat in the future.

I could be totally wrong. That's just my impression

Here's a thought that just crossed my mind. I still doubt it but hey, worth a try...

IF the WB is planning on saving DS for midseason, maybe that was the idea all along. Jordan Levin said a while back at the Winter TCA's that they're considering running a series for 11 weeks, then another for 11, etc., etc. and having shared timeslots. Maybe this is part of the plan for Dark Shadows. Guess we'll know soon enough. Unfortunately, most of what I'm hearing so far is doom and gloom, but who knows.

If they're saving it for midseason, that might not be a bad thing at all. More episodes would be completed, and the competition may be less (unless they put it opposite American Idol or something). And sometimes midseason shows are brought to the plate early in case something else fails (like One Tree Hill did this season when Fearless wasn't airable).

And I dunno. I think Jack and Bobby could do well (though I'm not watching) but The Mountain sounds like a mountain of crap.

I'm disappointed in hearing how some of the Angel fans feel about New DS, and how they're reveling in it, because if it were up to me, I'd think we should all work together. I understand the business reasoning behind canning Angel, but still, I do understand how they feel, because we're sort of feeling a betrayal now too (or at least I am) if New DS doesn't hit the air.

Hm... guess we'll know more soon...

MB, first I wanted to say that I really like your board and no offense is meant by my commentary here. I think it's great and I'm sorry I didn't say so earlier.

But... I didn't particularly appreciate your comments regarding the "credibility" of my website. Why call something into question that you're not familiar with at all? Would I purposely post something wrong? No. I'm hoping I just took things the wrong way and you're not going on site-bashing. 

The reason the two unrelated e-mails' sources were unnamed is because, as I said on the site, I don't know how true it is myself. It could very well be that Source #2 heard from the same person that e-mailed me this morning, in which case it could be one person making a hoax. I posted the information so it's out there IN CASE it is true, but it is clearly marked as rumor. I can't just wait for confirmation from someone, because no one that I have talked to in association with the new show is allowed to share much of anything. (Though hopefully they can send a "you're wrong" e-mail)

Source #1 was someone who asked to be anonymous. #2 was another website - scifi2k.com if you want to be precise. Could be #1 contacted #2. Either way, I wanted to put it out there that the rumor is out there, instead of just sweeping it under the carpet and acting shocked if it does end up being true later. I don't want it to be for real, and I hope it's not.

Just please don't be a hater. You don't know me or my site and if you had a problem with it, I would have much preferred you contacted me via e-mail rather than just seeing what you saw and then rolling your eyes about it for all to see. Instead, you use your position as someone people respect to badmouth it, and if people see MB doesn't like it, (and they do respect you very much), therefore, they'll start rolling their eyes as well. Is that what you want? Is that very mature?

Anyway, I hope my reply doesn't end up getting deleted now or gets me immediately banned, 'cause I do think your board is great. But I did want to be able to defend myself and the Barnabas Undead site. Thanks for your time.
