<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>I mean how can someone be so ingenious as to have poeople screaming about astronauts and cavemen and have someones last real comment be "cavemen win" and have it not sound completely retarded. I must say that was an ingenious episode. Angel going vampire as a puppet was badass as well but this season has been getting better and better as it has gone on. The last 4 episodes have been some of the best ever</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Unfortunately because of that, and it's crap ratings, UPN has no desire to pick up Angel, because they feel they'd just be getting a show past it's prime....or whatever.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>A classic episode of Happy Days had Fonzi jump his bike over a shark tank, a symbol of the show trying to do ANYTHING to resurrect its dying ratings. It's become a term used to indicated when a show is become desperate to keep/get back fans</div>
