Before I start I just like to say that I really enjoyed Buffy and Angel as TV show

Buffy

Season 1: Nice season with some very good episodes

Season 2: Excellent season and of course Angelus, Spike and Drusilla

Season 3: One of the best seasons ever on TV ie Faith, Wesley, Major and of course Snyder – Well for me anyway

Season 4: Up and down season, but still very good with my favourite Buffy Episode: Hush

Season 5: Up and down season again but enjoyed the season

Season 6: Worse season, it was like the whole season was a comedy with the buffy characters in it. The only good thing about the season is when Willow became the b-t-h
from Hell. Buffy and Spike Joss Whedon worse ever mistake. The trio worse villain ever

Season 7: I loved the last season

Angel

Season 1: Great opening season and with 22 episodes – introduce Gunn and Kate Wesley join the main cast.

Season 2: Brilliant season - all I will say is DARLA – introduce Lorne and Fred

Season 3: One of the best season ever on TV – Darla and Holtz – Well for me anyway

Season 4: Great season with the Beast and of course Angelus and Faith, but what happen when jasmine turns up – Angel begins to fade as a show

Season 5: Enjoyed it the 2nd time I saw it on DVD – The first time I stopped watching the show and wasn’t surprised when I heard it was cancelled – Joss Whedon second bad idea – Angel and Co. take over Wolfram & Hart.

When there's no more room in HELL the DEAD will walk the EARTH!!!!!

I liked the way you summed-up the seasons. And I pretty much agree, except for the last season of Angel. Now, taking over WRH, to me, was just a (I'm trying to think of the drama term... trope? No. Sorry, can't think of it.), for lack of a better word "vehicle" to get back to basics, and make the episodes more beginning/middle/end every week, rather than "episodic" -- with extended arcs.

From what I remember that was what Joss had to promise to get renewed for the last season. What's fascinating to me is all of the seasons are very different, yet excellent on re-watching. I hated the Jasmine arc (It was supposed to be something else, anyway. Cordelia was supposed to be The Big Bad, but she got pregnant, so Joss had to re-write quickly.), but loved most of season 4. That was the most hit and miss season. Now I consider it my favorite, followed by season 5. Take care! ;p
