the rumors?

Los Angeles -- Rumors are flying fast and furious in the wake of money
disputes between Fox Television and the WB Network over the hit television
series, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". In the midst of this fray, series
executive producer Joss Whedon today outlined casting and strategy changes
for next year's "Buffy" spinoff series.
"I'm very pleased that Elizabeth Anne Allen will be joining the new series
as a regular," Whedon began. "She's a marvelous performer," Whedon
explained, "and the character of Amy the Witch is mega-popular with the
fans."
Whedon countered recent speculation that Allen would be unable to join the
new cast. "That rumor was only partly true," Whedon admitted. "Once we
were in negotiations, it was such a rat's nest, it took a while to undo," he
said.
The new show's previously announced cast include "Buffy" regulars David
Boreanaz (Angel), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), Eliza Dushku (Faith), and
previous Buffy guest star, Max Perlich (Whistler). Whedon has also
confirmed that "Buffy" star Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) and regulars
Alyson Hannigan (Willow) and Nicholas Brendon (Xander) will make occasional
appearances in the spinoff series.
David Boreanaz was also on hand to offer a glimpse into the show's new
direction. "We're taking the show in a different direction, more LA, more
current, more Y2K," he said.
Whedon also announced the series, previously named "Angel", would be titled
"Angel's Charmies". "I met with executives at Warner and they felt the new
name and direction would peak the ratings faster", Whedon explained.
"They're really under bidding pressure from Fox," he said.
Series star Boreanaz explained the new direction, "I'll still be fighting
the bad guys, but with a new premise." Boreanaz elaborated, "Cordelia was
a Queen, Amy was a Witch, and Faith was a Slayer." He added, "But I took
them away from all all that up and now they work for me. My name is Angel."
"Charisma, Eliza and Elizabeth are so charming, the name made total sense,"
Whedon said. "They'll be going to college in the morning and fighting
demons in the afternoon," he added.
Describing co-star Max Perlich's role as Whistler, actor Boreanaz said, "I
can't help the girls during the day, 'cause I'm a vampire. So Whistler will
be my eyes and ears."
Series producer Whedon finshed, "I'm all tingly with the fantastic acting
talent and creative team we've got behind this new series. It'll be a
hoot."
Will "Angel's Charmies'" new name and new direction bring Whedon top the
success he's already had with "Buffy"? "I hope so", says Whedon, "I really
need a new yacht."

If it's a joke, it was posted way too early. April Fools Day is still 70 days

David Boreanaz : Everybody's always after me lucky charms.
This is a really, really stupid name. I like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer",
I like "The Phantom Menace", but this sounds like a breakfast cereal.
And what about Spike and Dru? I thought they were going to be on it as
well.
And when did Amy get Megapopular?

spoiler that Faith would die and go to the Angel series, and since Amy
is a rat, she can go to Angel's show too.

I think this is Joss' misinformation again. Trying to make a funny with
"Charlie's Angels"

I strongly suspect that this 'press release' was written by a fellow named
Franklin.

It's never too early for a good trollery. This one really had me going
until I figured out the "Angel's Charmies" pun. Excellent job,
Franklin. Should have cross-posted it to r.a.s.t. and r.a.t.

Charlie's Angels...but how did they get the premise of Charlie's Angels as
well? This can't be true. Jeez..it would be worth a laugh though.

Why do you begin the post by saying "They have got to be kidding" and not
consider that the author of this little gem was, in fact, kidding?

Um. As politely as I can, I think you missed the point of that post. Go back and reread it with the word
JOKE in mind....

But the saying is that rats *desert* a sinking ship, isn't it?

Which I think is a good thing. Good for a laugh, anyway!
