The 2nd halves of Buffy S4 and Angel S1 arrived today from The Nice People
of Blackstar[tm]! I haven't got the Angel eps on tape, so I'm in for some
serious watching :-)

There was a preview of the Buffy S2 DVD's on the first Angel tape and they
said that the DVD's are for sale right now, but that seems to be a bit
optimistic. When were they coming out again?

The weirdest thing however, is that the fifth tape of Angel S1 is rated 18+
on the cover! One would think I'm into porn or something....

Shocking. Not recording Angel? Oh, and buying VHS tapes?

Huh? S2 DVDs? Really? You sure? Hmm...that's good, I guess. Date that's
being thrown around right now is May something (4th for one, 28th for
another..) Maybe it'll hit the shelves sooner (what can I say, I'm an
optimist ;o)

Hehe..the brits have really bizarre ratings. I have a Robin Williams
live standup comedy tape with an 18 rating. Sexual jokes, big deal.
Weird bunch of kooks, the FCC...

Nope, didn't rercord them in the beginning, because I didn't think that my
to least favourite characters from th eBuffy regulars could carry a whole
show by themselves.

And yes, I buying tapes. Have you seen any Angel DVD's around? :-(

Of course, I MEANT the BBFC. Not the FCC. That's something totally
different.

Heheh...well, I'll say one thing for this tape: it's totally hilarious.
That man is concentrated hyperactivity. Anyway, the material was a lot
more adult themed than you may be used to from RW, but not THAT adult
themed.

I know he can be great. Have you seen Alladin where he plays the genie?
Wonderful stuff.

I'm a brit and we do have strict ratings, American Beauty was and 18 here
but a lot less everywhere else. Angel tape 5 is an 18 because of the Faith
episode as it has torture scene and a few other episodes qualify it to be an
18 by Brit standards
