Buffy The Vampire Slayer And Angel Are Getting Kicked off


Many times I've wrestled with whether to dive into a new film or series offered by Netflix, only to once again dive into an old standby I know won't let me down. In times of doubt, Sarah Michelle Gellar and the Buffy The Vampire Slayer gang ease my mind when I'm too scared to commit to a series, and now those days are coming to an end. Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel are both getting the boot from Netflix.



The bad news is you only have 10 more days to binge Buffy The Vampire Slayer before it's gone from Netflix. Come April 1st, the show will disappear and you'll feel forced into purchasing high-priced collector's box sets if you ever want to dive into the world of Sunnydale and its weirdness. The good news is that if you start now, skip the intro music (which I rarely do because it's awesome), and end credits you can watch the entire series in 6 days time. As far as Angel is concerned you'd need about 4 days and 14 hours which would put you just short of the deadline. Curse you Netflix for not letting us know sooner!



Both Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel will be part of the mass exodus of Joss Whedon shows being removed from the service. In addition to those two iconic shows, both Dollhouse and Firefly will be making their exit as well. While it seems like Joss Whedon is getting some tough love from Netflix, actor David Boreanaz is getting hit the hardest with Bones getting pulled from the service too. If this is some elaborate April Fools Day joke Netflix, you can tell us now!



All hope is not lost, however, as you can still stream Buffy The Vampire Slayer. While the show will be leaving Netflix, it is still listed as streaming on Hulu and all lists for April streaming seem to indicate the show is safe for now. The same goes for Angel and Firefly, so we can all stop breathing into that paper bag and thinking back to all the time we wasted not streaming these amazing shows and return to ignoring them. Don't be too concerned if you don't have Hulu and can't rewatch the series, as Joss Whedon says there's nothing like the first time you experience it anyway.





While it sucks to see Netflix slowly shed more and more of the iconic shows we love for new shows and programs, it's hard to say no to all the new stuff on the horizon. If you're going to make me choose between a '90s series I haven't watched in years vs. Stranger Things Season 2, we all know what I'm going to pick. Speaking of which, you can keep up with our new shows via our midseason premiere guide, and if that doesn't get you excited enough to get over losing Buffy and Angel, head over to our Summer premiere schedule for a double dose to ease the pain.

The movie “300,” which was released in 2006, is one of the best epic movies of Hollywood. There are very few epic movies, whose sequels are going to be released in future and 300 is also one of them. The 2 nd  part of this movie franchise, 300: Rise of an Empire, was released in 2014 and collected huge profit at box-office. It didn’t collect more than the 1 st  part, but managed to collect large amount at box-office The reason for low collection of this movie might be because the main protagonist, remained alive in the end, while in the 1 st  part, the main protagonist died, or audience didn’t accept the death of Leonidas (Gerard Butler), King of Sparta, and wanted to see him again in the 2 nd  part. The 1 st  part of this movie was based on the comic series, 300, which is written by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley, whereas, the 2 nd  part of this franchise was based on another unreleased novel of Frank Miller, Xerxes. After 2 parts of this movie franchise, audience is waiting f

Don Rickles: Why Legendary Comic's Jabs Are Funny, Not Offensive

Famed stand-up comedian and actor Don Rickles, who died April 6 at age 90, cultivated a curmudgeonly persona for decades and was celebrated for his caustic cracks. Known as the "insult comic," his pointed put-downs spared no one, not even celebrities many other comedians would consider off-limits. Before he became famous, Rickles was onstage at a Miami Beach club in the 1950s, when superstar Frank Sinatra entered the room. Rickles called out to him from the stage, "Make yourself comfortable, Frank. Hit somebody," the Los Angeles Times reported. Somehow, Rickles successfully parlayed his barbed insults into jokes — garnering guffaws even from the notoriously grumpy Sinatra, according to the LA Times — and launched a career that spanned more than half a century. But what made his insults seem funny, rather than merely, well, insulting? [Smile Secrets: 5 Things Your Grin Says About You] The success of Rickles' insult comedy may be explained by a humor th
