Watching some old Buffy's and Angel's I was struck by how good Andy Hallett was as Lorne. I really think that the way to go would have been a sitcom with Alyson and Andy. As I have probably said before, they just didn't explore the comic possibilities of the whole jewish lesbian witch thing. Obviously Willow and Lorne should be flat-mates.
I think that San Francisco would be a good location for it, with Lorne as the chief barman at a club loosely based on the DNA lounge owned by a curmudgeonly software millionaire loosely based on
jwz. With the occasional guest demon, obviously. I don't see why there shouldn't have been a comedy spin-off from Buffy / Angel - after all the tone of the two was slightly different, and they took the opportunity for Cordelia to suddenly age ten years to Charisma's real age.
Anyway, another missed opportunity.
Sigh.
