First I'm getting up to speed on the early years of Buffy. After that, I'm gonna try Angel.
One of the McMenamin's theater-pubs in Portland started showing episodes of Angel each Tuesday night last fall, but because of Fox officials' being potentially hinky about non-traditional screenings -- this was when the Writer's Guild Strike was looming -- McMenamin's and us geeks couldn't pimp the screenings in any way except word of mouth. Which wasn't enough, and the turnout was puny (as opposed to the decent groups for Buffy and the hundreds of people we got last summer for weekly Firefly). McMenamin's showed Season One of Angel and that was it.

But I have other ways to experience the show...
