Bell Mulls Angel Move 
Jeff Bell, executive producer of The WB's Angel, told SCI FI Wire that he's not worried about the latest timeslot change. "They've moved us each year. Every time they move us the same people show up. We were terrified of Sundays at 9, which I think is the hardest hour in TV," Bell said in an interview. "We were doing fine. So for whatever reason we're now going to be Wednesdays at 9." After the January move, Angel will have aired on four different nights in its three and a half years on the air.
The move will put the series up against UPN's The Twilight Zone and NBC's The West Wing. But Bell believes the biggest competition will come from ABC. "The one that will really kill us is The Bachelor. That will kill us. That will kill everything. That will kill West Wing. That will kill every living brain cell and zillions and zillions of people, mainly women, will watch it."
For those who wish to keep their brain cells intact, Bell promises that Angel will pick up right where it left off, when the show's characters thought they were witnessing the end of the world. "You're going to be shocked, but in episode eight the world didn't end," Bell said. The producer revealed that January episodes will focus on the new Big Bad, who proves to be "even more horrible than we imagined." Angel will begin airing in its new timeslot on Jan. 15 in place of the canceled Birds of Prey.
