RB of USA Today makes an undisguised jab at The WB's decision to cancel 'Angel'

Robert Bianco, Entertainment Critic at USA Today takes an undisguised jab at The WB over its decision to cancel 'Angel'.

No series is having a much better season than Angel (WB, 9 p.m. ET/PT), as witness tonight's funny, creepy outing about a children's show that steals children's souls while upholding "a certain standard of quality edutainment." The best joke is on Angel, who is turned into a perpetually scowling puppet.

It's a great episode, which makes the news that WB is canceling the show that much harder to take. Still, you can't blame the network. It has to make room for the next Tarzan, Birds of Prey or Fearless "” or, even better, for yet another attempt to clone Dawson's Creek.

Cheers to him! Finally a critic who has the initiative to actually call a good show when he sees it...

It's rare to find a critic that actually has taste.

AMEN!!! A critic with a brain, and you're right... lets hope someone from the WB does read it (that is .. if they can read).
