OT: News

Hi,

Perhaps I'm the last to know, but I didn't see anything about these
here, so I thought I'd spread the word.

NEW "BUFFY" SEASON 6 PREMIERE DATE: OCTOBER 2nd

UPN had been advertising an October 9th premiere, last week they changed
the promos to the 2nd. I thought maybe this would be a clip show or
something, but it's confirmed that this will in fact be the two-hour
premiere.

(Sooner=better)

WB CHIEF DEFINITELY KILLS "BUFFY"/"ANGEL" CROSSOVERS

Jordan Levin, during the Television Critics Association press tour, said
flatly that there will be no crossovers, which Joss Whedon and Marti
Noxon had said was likely as far back as May. Levin added some hogwash
about "Angel" needing to develop its own identity, but the reason is
obviously R*E*V*E*N*G*E. Why Levin wants to cause problems with Joss
when he's just renewed "Angel" is unknown, but inside sources (okay,
it's just me, lying) say not to rule out the possibility that Levin is
really, really stupid.

So, basically, when Buffy comes back from the dead, Angel won't go see
her. And you think you have trouble getting your ex to stay friends?

BTW, wonder if Levin is related to his boss, Time-Warner kingpin Gerry
Levin. Nepotism much?

CAN ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT BUFFY DVDs?

I've seen articles from Spring 2000 where Joss talks about doing them,
but nothing yet. Has the project been scrapped? Is there a timetable?
Anybody? Bueller?

Hope this was useful,

Dan
