- TriviaThe WB's announcement that it was canceling the show came at a time when it was rated second only to Smallville (2001) among 18-to-34-year-olds. Earlier in the same month, WB's weekly ratings release revealed that "Angel" had earned "outstanding year-to-year gains" among demographic groups.
- GoofsA goof seen in archive footage from City of... (1999) that appears in the opening credits of every episode is when Angel is walking down an alley. In a puddle of water you can see his reflection. Though originally a mistake, they choose to take it through the whole show, as a symbol of his soul.
- Quotes
Allen Doyle: [phone rings, Doyle answers] Angel Investigations. We hope you're helpless.
- Crazy creditsDuring the first seconds of the opening credits, the red rim of a chalice in the background forms the shape of a halo over the name ANGEL.
- Alternate versionsTwo deleted scenes appear on the Season 3 DVDs. The first is a segment from Cordelia's fantasy sitcom 'Cordy' from the episode 'Birthday' and the second is a sequence where Wesley has a fantasy about Fred and himself doing ballet from the episode 'Waiting In The Wings'.

Featured review
A spin-off from a show based on a B-movie...
With that in mind, this is an excellent show. While I do not feel that Angel has necessarily bested Forever Knight yet, I think that it very well might. The show manages to balance the fearsomeness of the supernatural undertones with a certain exuberance and delight that I am definitely impressed with. The show can be truly funny.
Angel is not a typical horror show, as it deals much more with human relations than it deals with the supernatural. And it deals with human relations in a much more mature and intelligent manner than most so-called dramas on TV. I must admit that I was skeptical when I heard all the praise being heaped on this show by critics before it started, but they were right. Between Angel and Buffy, I don't really think that any other network touches the WB for pure creative output.
I am impressed with the direction that this station has taken, and hope that they continue in the future.
