Angel.
Beginning tonight, there will be several all new episodes in a row leading up to the series finale of Angel. It sounds like lots of former cast members and guest stars will be making appearances in the show's final new episodes, but it doesn't sound like Buffy will be among them. Joss Whedon appears to be involved in writing/producing the final episode, titled "Not Fade Away."

24 Season Three Episode Preempted by Presidential Speech.
The Fox network has delayed this week’s much anticipated new “24” to 9 p.m. Sunday, opposite new episodes of “Alias” and “The Sopranos.”

Da Bomb that is The Alamo.
LOS ANGELES, April 12 (Reuters) from Forbes.com - The Alamo lasted 13 days before Mexican troops overwhelmed it, but a dismal three-day debut was enough for many observers to label Walt Disney Co.'s $100 million "The Alamo" film a bomb and wonder if embattled CEO Michael Eisner would share the Texas mission's fate. Some analysts said the box office defeat of "Alamo," which depicts the battle at the San Antonio outpost in 1836, might pave the way for high-level management changes and maybe even for Comcast Corp. (nasdaq: CMCSA - news - people) to take over Disney. "Depending on the size of the write-off and the pressure it places on earnings, the board could consider changes to management and the board itself, or invite Comcast in for productive two-way negotiations," said Richard Greenfield, an analyst at Fulcrum Global Partners.
