Angel Angel is a television series which was spun off from " Buffy the Vampire Slayer " , running from 1999 until 2004 . The fifth season episode " Smile Time " , originally broadcast on February 18 , 2004 on the WB Network , features a plot in which the title character is turned into a live - hand puppet and battles the forces of evil in felt form . Series creator Joss Whedon , son of Muppet writer Tom Whedon , came up with the idea which he initially intended to write and direct . The episode was conceived of specifically as " an evil " Sesame Street " show " with an emphasis on the Angel puppet particularly Muppet - like ( i . e . the ability to ) . Whedon developed the script with Ben Edlund ( creator of " The Tick " ) to include a group of demons ( disguised as puppets ) who plot to drain the life energy out of children ( not unlike the relationship between Skeksis and Podlings ) by possessing the stars of a children ' s television puppet series . Several Henson veterans were involved in the episode , including Alice Dinnean ( as Angel ' s hands ) , Leslie Carrara - Rudolph , Victor Yerrid ( as Polo ) , Julianne Buescher ( as Flora ) , Tim Blaney ( as Groofus ) , Brad Abrell , Donna Kimball , and Drew Massey , who designed and supervised the construction of the puppet characters , and performed the puppet Angel . Scott Johnson also served as the puppet coordinator . When asked if the " vamped " Angel was meant to have been a nod to " Sesame Street " ’ s The Count , Whedon replied : Shadow Puppets . The episode spawned a sequel of sorts for a comic book mini - series written by Brian Lynch ( who had sold a script entitled " The Next Muppet Movie " to The Jim Henson Company in 1999 ) . As a self - confessed Muppet fan ( " I know every Muppet episode by heart " ) , Lynch littered " Spike : Shadow Puppets " with a plethora of in - jokes to the Muppets and " Sesame Street " . In his commentary for the collected graphic novel , Lynch includes a dedication to his parents , thanking them for introducing him to " Sesame Street " and " The Muppet Show " , and buying him all the Muppet related books , tapes and records that inspired him to write stories for and draw pictures of the Muppets ( which led to his first big script sale , of the aforementioned " Next Muppet Movie " ) . The comic book collection closes with a note stating " " Spike : Shadow Puppets " has been brought to you by the letters IDW and with a generous contribution from readers like you , " a reference to " Sesame Street " ’ s PBS sign - off .
