I've still not seen a single episode of Angel because I hate looking at David Boreanaz.

More literal than you realize

Oh, and go fuck yourself

He does have a stupid haircut and a smugness about him, but he was far less moody for the sake of being moody in Angel and actually a lot of fun. Besides, you missed this.

Angel had some extreme highs, but it also had a bad habit of doubling down on the angst, even more than Buffy. That Connor shit made more people jump ship than Dawn ever did.

It is hard for me to resist puppets. Maybe I'll hate-watch it then.

Spoiler for angel spoilers:
Oh yeah around then I took a break for at least a season. I was confused as hell when I came back and Angel was in charge of Wolfram and Hart, and I still don't know what the **** happened to Cordelia or how it could possibly not piss me off. And they also killed off Darla to give us that annoying twat son, which was bogus. But the lead up to her death was probably her best part on Buffy or Angel.

Shouldn't be too different

Pretty much. You do need to be more or less up on your English politics (though they do world ones too) to get most of the jokes, but it's a hoot. I remember the late Bruce Forsyth hosted it once. I don't know if you know him, but he was big in the seventies and eighties, and one of his best-known catchphrases to the audience was "Nice to see you, to see you nice!"

So anyway, he was talking about the invasion of Iraq and he said "George Bush keeps telling us that Saddam Hussein has all these WMDs. Well, it would be nice to see them, to see them... (audience roars) NICE!"

That reminds me of those ****ty sitcoms where they'd fill in a space where a joke should go by using a contrived catchphrase that the audience liked more through being beaten over the head with it than it having any comedic value, as if they were Pavlov's dog and laughing to get their treat. Not that this sounds in any way similar.
