Angel Season 2 DVD cancelled?
Hey, it was released on pre-order a while ago, with a release date and everything, and I put in an order for it, but now when I look it up on Amazon.com I get one of those "the studio is not currently producing this title" messages. I also can't find it for pre-order anywhere else. Does anyone know what gives here?

It was one of the titles that TVShowsonDVD.com was referring to when they posted this on March 31:
As far as I know, it still hasn't been officially announced. Hopefully, soon!

Last week we posted various Fox titles on the site after Amazon.com put them up for presale. We just heard back from Fox and it looks like Amazon.com jumped the gun and none of those dates are confirmed. I'm sure Fox is a little bit ticked, but this isn't the first time it's happened. Amazon.com also listed the Felicity Season Two set over a month ago, and now that other etailers have begun selling it, the release date has changed. Maybe they are jumping the gun in order to get presales?
The word from Fox is that Amazon.com will be removing those titles from their site shortly.

I have never watched any of these but my wife loves them. I almost bought the season 1 set the other day for her but deciided not to. Anyway, I watched the ending of tonight's episode and it looked pretty cool. So I was considering getting the 1st season after all. When I saw this I thought, "Oh well another $50 to go towards something I really want."

Yeah, the insert did say September.
The set wouldn't be delayed because of syndication rights, would it? I've heard that TNT will be showing Angel in the fall. Could the DVD release have been delayed until TNT runs the second season eps?

I received season 3 from them a couple of months back, set was released in March. I believe that season 4 will probably be released around the end of this year overseas.

This, from the Spoiler Slayer website:
http://www.spoilerslayer.com/buffyblog.php#200359987
That could be a likely scenario. 
It was also mentioned that the recently released Buffy S4 DVD set made no mention of when Angel S2 would be released.

I'm getting reports from fans who pre-ordered the 'Angel Season Two' DVD set from Amazon.com have received an email, that states the item has been pulled from the studio's release schedule. I have not seen anything solid yet, but I do believe that this could be tied with the announcement of Season Five. This will take the series up to Episode 100, which means that it's a viable syndication package for television networks. Although TNT has already signed on, it didn't stop the first season from being released. My only guess is like Buffy, they want to be able to release this to local networks for syndication. Which begs the question, will we have to wait a year or two for 'Angel Season Two' to appear. I will keep the site updated as news comes in.

Looks like it’s 4:3 and not widescreen. Let’s hear from the Whedon fanclub on this one.

Let's wait and get official conformation before piling on Fox and Mutant Enemy. There's another TV series coming out on DVD that same day that was originally announced as 4:3 and turned out to be 16:9(and its name rhymes with Alias).
If however these specs pan out, then I'll be the first to call out Joss Whedon on his BS regarding Buffy's intended ratio being 4:3 and Angel's being 16:9. Yes, Angel Season 2 was protected for 4:3(unlike Season 3 onward where 16:9 is the sole ratio), but anyone who's seen the 16:9 R2 set can't honestly tell me that the WS framing isn't much better for the show. And unlike Buffy, there are almost no mistakes you can spot in the outer edges of the frame. At least nothing as bad as the boom mike that slips into the picture in the finale of Angel Season 1.
Of course, I doubt I'll replace the R2 set anyway. The book packaging and inclusion of the "Previously on" intros is reason enough to stay away from the R1 set. A lack of WS transfers would just be the nail in the coffin.

Just to clarify, Region 4 did NOT get Angel Season 2 in widescreen. It's 4:3. I just wanna make sure no one orders the R4 set expecting 16:9.
