Hey...

I figured I might as well stop in and say "hello." Although I get the feeling that I may be in the minority as I'm mainly here because of "Angel."

Anyway, I first stumbled upon these shows in 2007. I was trying to figure out which shows I should check out and "Angel" caught my eye. But I quickly realized that it was a spin-off of "Buffy" so I figured I should check out that show before giving "Angel" a try. So on a whim, I bought "The Chosen Collection" and then proceeded to finish every single episode in exactly three weeks. I enjoyed the show thoroughly, but I knew early on that I was going to like "Angel" because he was the character that interested me the most.

The timing was perfect too because by the time I got around to watching it, the Special Collector's Set was due to be released (around Halloween that year), and Halloween night is when I first started watching the show. Since then, I have been through the show a total of ten times (combined DVD/TNT viewings) and I've tried several times to NOT watch it on TNT as I don't want to risk the possibility of ever getting "sick" of the show. But that usually doesn't last long and I end up getting sucked back into the long developing story arcs.

But as a guy, "Angel" definitely appeals to me more than "Buffy" since it's much easier to relate to his character and the various story arcs that took place on that show. And I definitely view it as my favorite TV show of all time.

I also hate Joss Whedon because he has essentially ruined other TV shows for me because most of them pale in comparison (I still can't believe "Firefly" only had fourteen episodes).

And I have to add that I absolutely love Amy Acker as Winifred Burkle (Random thought I know, but I felt like I needed to add it, ha).

Anyway, I need to cut this off but is there anyone else that enjoys "Angel" more than "Buffy?" I get the feeling that if I'm not alone in this line of thinking, I'm in a very small minority. Either way, I don't know anyone else that likes these shows, so hopefully there will be some good conversations to be had here with all of you. Take care.
 
Hi! Welcome to the boards!!! You're not in the minority. Buffy has my heart but I love Angel so so so so so so so much - and I think I prefer pretty much all the characters (wes, angel, faith, harmony etc...) that appear on both - on angel better.

🙂
 
Heyyyy dude! 🙂
Hope you enjoy your stay here, I'm relatively new here as well but you'll find this is a most welcoming community!

I prefer Buffy even though I'm a guy, probably cuz I started watching Buffy and the story just appeal to me more. But that doesn't mean I don't love Angel as well. It's a great show with a great story and a great bunch of characters!
 
Hey and welcome to the board!! There are plenty of "Angel" fans around here. It's nice to see another. 🙂
 
welcome 🙂 I prefer Buffy, but Angel still holds a very special place in my heart. Also, i totally relate that Joss has ruin any other TV shows XD Nothing is as good as those made by Mr. Whedon 😉 (thought Kripke has been getting incredibly close with SPN)
 
Welcome to BB. Angel and Buffy seem to get equal love here so there is nothing to worry about. 🙂
 
Welcome to the boards 😀 I'm sure you;ll find plenty of people to discuss Angel with. 🙂
 
Amy Acker is awesome 😀 welcome! Yeah I personally prefer Buffy over Angel 😉 but you definitely aren't alone in your Angel > Buffy...love haha. Trust me.
 
Welcome to BB! Angel was a great show! I only finished season 5 for the first time a couple of weeks ago and although I prefer BtVS I certainly count myself an AtS fan. Enjoy your stay 🙂
 
I am with you on the prefering Angel!!!! I cant help but love the show just a tiny bit more than Buffy! Also, much Fred karma!!!
Amy Acker is my favourite actress from the whole series 😀

Welcome to BB! Hope to see ya around 🙂
 
:welcome: to the boards. Prefering Angel and a fan of Firefly. My kind of guy. Don't get me wrong. I love Buffy as well. Over time I've just realised that I love Angel better. The show. Not sure where I am about the characters though. I got other favourites.
 
Hi 🙂 Welcome to the boards!! I'm more of a Buffy fan, but I still love Angel, especially the earlier seasons. Have fun on the boards 😀
