Default Queston on Yagi Antennae

Andy writes;

I know I could go to my EZNEC and find this out for myself,
but I figure someone here has already done this and a quick
answer is all I need..

In "normal" Yagi antennae, the elements are parallel
and at 90 degrees to the mounting boom.

In some TV antennae, the elements are at an angle to the
mounting boom, slanted in the direction of the station being
received. Otherwise, they look pretty much like a Yagi.

My question is, what effect does "slanting" the elements
forward have on the impedance, and the pattern ?

Thanks in advance for the meaningful answers..
