First it looked like it was going to be a midseason replacement, but FOX is killing "Dark Angel" in favor of "Firefly"

Fox winging "Angel" out, "Firefly" in

By Josef Adalian

NEW YORK (Variety) - "Dark Angel" has gone to TV heaven.

Despite indications earlier this week that the Jessica Alba starrer would be returning for a third season, Fox has decided to pull the plug on the sci-fi actioner.

Its 8 p.m. Friday slot will be filled by the new space Western "Firefly," from "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon, which had been teetering between a fall and midseason berth.

"Firefly" will lead into the new mystery drama "John Doe" at 9. The latter series, along with "Firefly" and "Dark Angel," had been competing for two drama slots on Fox's new Friday night schedule. The rest of the lineup had already been finalized.

While Whedon had produced a two-hour pilot for "Firefly," it's now expected Fox will ask Whedon to come up with an hourlong kickoff to the series.

Fox officially unveils its new lineup Thursday. The new schedule boasts four new dramas and two new comedies, along with the sketch variety series "The Cedric Show" and the reality half-hours "30 Minutes to Fame" and "Meet the Marks." The latter pair, along with the drama "Septuplets," won't bow until winter.

I don't know guys. Seems like they should pick a better time-slot.

Well, I think they should air the pilot last, pre-empt it as much as possible, and then cancel it. Hmm, maybe some fans can launch a campaign to get a movie made or something.

Sounds like it will make a heck of a DVD, though.


That mystery show after it looks intruiging. Maybe they can have a season long mystery, put in a really strange cliffhanger at the end, then not renew that one either.
