    Start the new season with the same cast and about 20 demons. Then, week to week, a demon is voted off the show and killed.

    Yeah, Willow with Xander as a side kick.

    Willow the Chicklayer and Xander the Bricklayer.

    All you yung'uns think that a cancelled tv show is sucha tragedy! Why back in my day we were happy to see shows cancelled, like laverne and shirley, leave it to beaver and happy days - bah, good riddance!

    I propose that you all stop wasting your time with all of this moaning about TV watchin' and get busy doing something productive! Like posting to slashdot.

    Very little appears on the WB that doesn't make me wish I hadn't bought my nice TV.

    I always didn't think that enough negatives wouldn't not work. weren't you not flaming, or just unsupporting the decision??

    (j/k, I do totally agree with you. I think).

    Any show with an episode about Nazis and Vampires, in my mind, has jumped the shark.

    Oh yeah, Angel was a fine show until they added vampires on there...
