Forwarded to me from elsewhere: >From this morning's Hollywood Reporter: UPN hints that 'Buffy's' slaying days numbered Jan. 13, 2003 UPN may drive a stake through "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" at the end of this season. Network officials said Sunday that they were exploring several options for the teen satire created by writer-producer Joss Whedon, including renewal or a possible spinoff. But with lackluster ratings and high costs because of a rich deal struck two years ago with producer 20th Century Fox Television, the odds seem to be running against "Buffy's" return, despite its status as one of UPN's most-recognizable series. "I wouldn't bet that it comes back, but it's possible," CBS chief Leslie Moonves, whose responsibilities include UPN, said after a presentation at the press tour sponsored by the Television Critics Assn. in Hollywood. Star Sarah Michelle Gellar is widely thought to be leaning toward focusing on her movie career, though Moonves added that "she hasn't said no" to reprising her TV role as a vampire killer. But Moonves was emphatic on one point: The network is not about to hike its license fee for "Buffy," which currently stands at more than $2.3 million per episode.

SMG is happily married now and her movie career seems to be on track. Best we can hope for is some kind of Sunnydale spinoff with a few of the regulars. Spike the Vampire Watcher, anybody? :P .

I should start saving my pennies now... Also, though there's no new =Buffy= tomorrow, there =is= a new =Angel= on Wednesday (its new day). I noted, rather quizzically, when I looked at my tape, that although =Buffy= has broadcast its 11th episode of the season, =Angel= has had only =seven=. Lot of catchup to do (and Faith along before long!). ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 23:04:46 -0500 From: meredith Subject: a/bits of tid Hi, A couple things from scifiwire: - -- Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof got engaged over Christmas. - -- Andy Hallett (Lorne) will become an official series regular on _Angel_ as of episode 14.
