-WHERE'S ANGEL?!!?!?

-I saw about five minutes... maybe of this. It consisted of a shirtless blonde N'Sync reject talking to another pretty boy. These two pretty boys being the Lone Ranger and Tanto. LR begs to be taught in the ways of the Jed- I mean Indians and Tanto says no until he says yes.

-WHERE'S ANGEL????

-Basically I'd say that this was a a Lone Ranger remake for the N'Sync demographic. So for those sparky teen girls out there who've been begging for a Lone Ranger remake geared toward you, your time has finall come!

-BRING BACK ANGEL!!!

-I can't believe the held off for the return of Faith, for this garbage!!!! Only good thing I saw was a commercial for a new TV series called Black Sash, starring one of my favorite martial artists who's name I can't remember. He was the bad guy in Romeo Must Die and the star of Vanishing Son. I don't think it'll last long, but it looks pretty cool.

I agree. LR was as horrible as the music that played during the show and I just could not believe that they put this instead of Angel...and during the sweeps.

Then again, I can't say I'm much surprised, while reading an article in the Toronto star about Gellar last year on Buffy, I came across these lines "WB Entertainment president Jordan Levin said yesterday he's hopeful but not certain that Angel, a Buffy spinoff launched in 1999, will be back next fall."

So it does not bode well for Angel. But then again, they have been giving Angel the Farscape treatment, so as I said, no surprise there.

Wes Studi's shaman character was exactly like his character from The Mystery Men.

I don't think a better review could have ever been written for that movie. :D

Hmm so did anyone actually watch the movie? I would have been semi-interested if I didn't watch Ed (http://www.nbc.com/Ed/index.html) on Wednesdays.

I was wondering if it was on again, but I tried a couple places and no replay was listed.

Whatever. I thought it was cool. Only three things I didn't like:

1. Too much rock music.

2. Too much jeans and flannel.

3. Not enough "Hi ho, Silver! Away!" (none of that, actually).

It was good though. I also had the advantage of not seeing the lead in any of the craptastic WB shows they say he's in. The only thing I ever saw him in prior to this was Shakira's first Pepsi commericial (at least I'm pretty sure that was him...). Even my grandma, who used to watch the original, enjoyed it.
I rather it not become a series, but if it does, I'd probably end up watching it.

Sorry we ragged on it so much then.

Most of us are just mad at having to wait for Angel....

It wasn't bad, I always liked The Lone Ranger character and this was a fairly decent show. Sure it's been aimed to the Dawsons Creek crowd too much, and some of it was cheesy. But I enjoyed it overall. Still would of rather watched Angel though.

I must be the only guy on here that doesn't really care about Faith's return.
