I doubt he should, there is a sort of tendency of new versions of old TV shows to flop badly, all the Knight Driver reboots, Dallas & even X-Files really flopped, only Battlestar Galactica worked.

So you're saying Joss Whedon should collaborate with Ronald D. Moore on the Faith spin-off? I suppose it couldn't hurt to team Katee Sackhoff with Eliza Dushku.

That's probably because the writers have usually moved on as well as a lot of the actors and people in production.

The UK does that sort of thing fairly often, but the set up tends to be different. The writers are usually the show creators, so it's mostly a matter of getting the actors back. And since the series are so short, scheduling tends to be somewhat less of an issue.

Not a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It may not be your cup of java, but it's success doesn't seem to me to be a product of sloth or lazy writing. It's actually quite tricky to do shared universes right. Nearly all of the MCU movies have been well received by audiences and critics alike.

I preferred Angel.

Preferred Firefly.

the only thing I would be interested in is a Fray series. The whole scifi dystopian setting mixed with magic, demons and all the other supernatural stuff could be fun. And it is sufficently removed from the Buffy+Angel universe to stand on its own.

But let the original Buffy/Angel stories and their cast alone. With how Season 8 in the comic turned out I think it is a good thing that the tv series ended after season 7.

Well... It depends. Some shared universes just give creators an already well-developed background to work with, like Star Trek or Warhammer 40k. Both would be pretty difficult for a single writer to come up with single-handedly and were a collaborative work of a collective, each adding and expanding them (altho sure, it usually is a single person conceiving them in the first place) - having a story set in a well-developed universe can be pretty amazing, I am currently on a Dan Abnett 40k reading binge and I can't get enough of those books. But - there has to be a reason to use a shared universe aside from "Getting dem fans" and I honestly can't think of a single distinctive feature of Buffyverse, aside from how silly it is.

Even if Buffy is your only point of reference, it alone (in seven TV seasons and three more comic seasons) is filled with countless characters, creatures and lore to make a stellar shared universe. Angel takes what Buffy started, expanding and deepening the world. Make sure you see all five seasons and report back.

nope, I would (if I was Whedon) first bring out a movie (like The A-Team) see how the movie does, and if the movie flop then I would bin the Idea, if the movie is a success, then either bring back the show, or do what they did with the Mission Impossible franchise, move it over to a movie franchise.

In any case I can't see SMG coming back to reprise her role as Buffy, unless he brings Buffy back as a type of Giles role (where Buffy teaches) with someone new taking over as the Slayer,

A while back Joss was planning to make a Giles miniseries with Anthony Stewart Head on the BBC.

No, I don't think its a good idea it bring it back. This whole redoing old shows has gone way too far and 90% of it is total crap.

He developed the idea in 2002 and it was buried in 2008. I wouldn't call that "a while back", rather "a long time ago".
I think something like Slayer School would have had potential, but the idea is dead as well.

We're talking about the Buffyverse here. Not all dead things stay dead.

Yes, but right at the moment there doesn't seem to be any plans for TV or movie projects. And many ideas they had in the past were already used for the comics.
