Joss Whedon Surprised by Dark Shadows Pilot... January 20 2004
Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon was left disarmed when asked for his reaction to the WB's new Dark Shadows pilot, the Alameda Times-Star reports. Whedon, currently producer of WB vampire drama Angel, had not been told by the WB of their plans. "At least it’s not an important, successful producer," Whedon replied drily.
Warner Bros chairman Jordan Levin later apologized for not informing him earlier. "I think the two shows can co-exist," commented Levin afterwards. Angel is an action-adventure, while Dark Shadows is a gothic soap opera."

Angel Cancelled as Pilot Details Emerge February 14 2004
A fallen Angel seems to bode well for the WB's Dark Shadows pilot. The network announced the cancellation of its Buffy spin-off yesterday, just weeks after WB executive Jordan Levin insisted that Dark Shadows posed no threat for the show's future. For full coverage on Angel, visit Zap2it.
Un. Frickin'. Believable.
"A fallen Angel bodes well"???? Pissing off the fanbase for one vampire show bodes well for another?
HOW? Before they cancelled my favorite show, I might have been interested in taking a look at their new Vampire Gothic Soap Opera. Now? They can eat my shorts.
Someone needs to take away the WB exec's crack pipes.

Re: You can always take some advice from the man himself...
If not, I definitly hope another network buys it - UPN?
Re: You can always take some advice from the man himself...
I swear, I'd boycott the WB altogether if I didn't think that punishing Jamie Kennedy because of his STUPID network would be the wrong thing to do.
Grr.
