Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This is my favorite show even beating out dark angel.



ok this show was originally a filler at the time and they for a while only showed the first two episodes like all the time so i had see those like ten times now about fifty...this show is connected to the original movie at where it left off where she leaves the gym in this she burned it down...cool. i am guessing there was no pike there was never a mention of him..in the show buffy goes to sunnydale which is the hell mouth she befriends willow,xander..they meet and fight vampires,a giant preying mantis,deamons,a puppet,invisible people,a mummy,werewolves,a frankestein wanna be,dracule don't know if i spelt that right,a god,a giant lizard thing,robots,zombies,geeks,witches,and a singing problem...this show is not to be missed...

buffy the vampire slayer. i think it was a really good show and well put togeather. it showed how a girl that was choosen can help people from the protection of vampires and deamons . and with the help of her friends. there was alot of action and some sadness points of the show i watch the show since it came on and bought all the boxsets of the show. it paved the way for others shows like it like angel and supernatural i think. and the show charmed was another show that came outdue to the poplarity of buffy .

Being a teenager is hard, especially when you’re fighting off vampires, unless you’re Buffy Summers. Over the course of the show Buffy goes though many changes. She didn't ask for the power to save the world for the vampires, werewolves and demons; She was the chosen one. She faced just impossible odds, and only died twice, of course she had help. Buffy was the "it" show of the 90's, and should be brought back so that in the 2000's it can be enjoyed as well. Buffy was just one of the greatest action heroines on television, and will never be forgotten.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer might be my favorite television show of all time! It was great to have a humorous horror show on television each week. Sarah Michelle Gellar played the perfect feminine/athletic female hero. The show started a trend of shows with tough, beautiful female heroes. Buffy always had a great cast of supporting characters and some great vampires, demons, and monsters to fight. My favorite supporting characters during the show were Spike and Faith. Both of them ended up fighting on Buffy's side. I always liked the Halloween episodes each year. This was truly a special kind of television show.

Inspired by the box office movie with the same name, Buffy the Vampire Slayer redefined the vampire genre forever. Forget Twilight, forget Anne Rice, forget everything! This girl sent vampires back to their coffins with one hand behind her back, and with her eyes folded! But she was not alone. To help her, she has the Scoobies (not Mystery Inc. and Scooby-Doo if that's what you're thinking.), a group of people who help her fight evil vampires and creatures from the dephts of Hell. They are Buffy's friends Xander Harris, Willow Rosenberg and Cordelia Chase, Angel and Spike the vampires, Daniel "Oz" Osbourne, and Dawn Summers, not forgetting Giles, the Watcher and Buffy's right arm when things get a turn for the worst. The cast was amazing. Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Borenaz, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brandon, Anthony Head, Charisma Carpenter, Seth Green, Michelle Tranchtenberg, James Marsters and many more were amazing, portraying all the amazing characters that appeared in the series. Maybe it was not perfect in every aspect, but the fact of Buffy and the Scoobies not fighting just vampires, but all kind of supernatural creatures gave the series a fresh humour and ideas of what they were going to do next. Some people think, and I definitely support that fact that this series inspired Eric Kripke's Supernatural. Too bad it's over, but at least we can still read Buffy and gang's adventures in the comic books, which are the official continuation of the series.



A big 10, no doubt about it!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a totally awsome show. It's about Buffy Summers the Vampire Slayer! And with her Scooby Gang together they protect Sunnydale from what goes dump in the night. Vampires, Demons, and all sorts of evil can never win if the slayer comes to play! If I could find words to decribe how awsome Buffy is I would but sadly its imposible because Buffy is too awsome for words! All I can say to people who want to try Buffy is... If you want to watch a awsome show thats funny, mysterious, romantic, and just plan awsomely intresting then Buffy is 100% the show to watch! So watch it or else... You dont want to miss the slayer!

Although it is a relatively older television show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer easily rivals all of the top programs on air today. It's messages transcend time to speak to viewers of all ages and eras. I know that in ten years, Buffy will still be as influential, and brilliant as it was during its original airing. The show's creator, Joss Whedon, does an amazing job of mixing in snarky humor and a few grave social matters, all while keeping the series dark, entertaining, suspenseful, thrilling, etc. Each season keeps you on the edge of your seat and almost every individual episode will undoubtedly leave you wanting more. I consider myself lucky for not having started watching the series until it's ending. If I'd had to wait for each new episode for a week at a time, I honestly don't think I could have held on to my sanity. BtVS is in no way afraid to upset it's audiences by surprisingly killing off or dropping a key character here and there, and this gives the program one of it's many edges, making not getting caught up in the adventures of the Slayer more than a little difficult. With every season, a "big bad" endangers the Slayer, her friends, and the fate of the world. Each "big bad" is refreshingly unique and surprisingly malevolent for a show that qualifies as a comedy at times. I realize that at first glance, the show may sound cheesy, and overrated. I suppose that with all of the Twilight hype, getting into a show about vampires may be a bit difficult. With all of this in mind, I dare you to try the program out, and not enjoy every nail-biting second of it.

Wow, that's all i can say about this show. Ya it some cheesy parts but what show doesn't. i never agreed with the vampire aspect of the show but i learned to know vampires by watching this show. come freaking on spike is so awesome and he played piccolo so that's awesome to :). but seriously i don't think i ever enjoyed a TV series as much as i enjoyed this one. you know what i have never like a show as my as this on. the musical episode Once More With Feeling" was so good. One of the songs though the fire is now one of my favorite. and who would have guess Sarah could sing so well. this show had so many sad moments and so many triumphant wins from battle that nearly destroys the world. they even joke in the show about have way to many apocalypses, which they had at least 5 i think...I'll check that later. but seriously if you haven't watch this show watch it i give it a 12 out of ten but it only gives me 10/10 which sucks. my favorite character was spike but i thought Anya was pretty, i never cared for Angel though he actually was one of my least favorite.

First off the concept behind this show was brilliant. A pretty and popular school girl discovers she's the only hope for humanity's survival. Of course it was originally a lackluster movie. Yet I guess the brilliance of Joss Whedon needed to develope until it could manifest into one of the greatest super natural shows of all time.



I grew up with the show and the clever use of vampires, monsters, demons and curses as metaphors for common teenage and young adult issues led to a deeper meaning to this show than a group of people who battle evil for the heck of it.



Good Acting, Interesting Story Lines, Award Winning Make-Up and Costumes and the perfect level of comedy and horror made this a defining show for the rise of the supernatural action genre.

Buffy the Vampire slayer is filled with so much action and suspense full of epic proportions.this is what vampires are supposed tobe.not that stupid twilight crap everyones talking about.Anya was one of my favorite characters because of how funny and rude she was in certain episodes.They just never let Buffy get tied down to a relationship.i guess thats what happends when you you start sleeping with the people your supposed to hunt down.i still think she should of gotten together with Spike at the end.I like a girl who can kick ass.this show was the best way to end the 90's.

To sum it up, Buffy is my new best friend. Back in my youth I had watched a good number of episodes, but as I was young I pretty much forget about it. Just last year I decided to buy season 1 DVD, and after quickly watching it I was pretty damn impressed. A year later I bought season 2, quickly followed by 3, 4 and recently 5. What appeals to me, and so many others is how warm the show makes you feel. There are few shows who manage to bring together a perfectly gelled cast of characters, and make you feel like part of the group. Buffy does this so well, boasting really great characters, with new editions each season.

Although the show is based on vampire slaying, that's not really where the joy is had. It's is a sci-fi show, but I think it has a very wide appeal to all audiences. That's what makes it so enjoyable. It's a drama first, and a sci fi second. With comedy a close third. With Joss Whedon as head writer, each episode (Especially his) deliver awesome and funny scripts. I'm only on season 5, but I can already safetly say that this is one of, if not my favourite show in the history of television. Essential viewing for everyone.

what an amazing series, was so disappointed when it finished, am hoping the movie will go ahead with the original cast, please come back sarah!!! the only thing i didnt really like about this show was when they brought dawn into it, i found her incredibily annoying and boring. was kinda hoping she would die a horrible gruesome death, but hey i still watched it and actually enjoyed **** about dawn, so that was a positive. the last season was awesome, although i actually cried watching the last episode, knowing that was it. my faves are definetly buff, faith and evil willow (she was fabulous) loved how she tortured and killed warren!!

Most people brush Buffy off as a silly-blonde-girl-fighting-fake-monsters show. Indeed, Buffy can easily give the impression to be lacking depth, style and the cool factor at first, but if you follow it you will become intrigued by the long-term storyline and character development.



My favorite things about Buffy, and also what I remember a long time after watching it, are its characters. Far from all episodes are good, and many are quite silly, but the underlying character development is incredible, and underneath the silly monster-fighting and the blonde-teenage-girlness there are buried meanings and depth. Buffy is really just a drama about a teenage girl and her journey towards becoming a mature woman. It could have been made into any other drama, without the vampires totally. The monsters and vampires and the events that take place are just metaphors for all the difficulties a teenage girl goes through growing up. She falls in love and has her heart broken, she faces daily battles against the world, she has trouble in school because she's distracted with other things, she feels like she's alone in the world, she even looses someone close to her, and she learns to be more responsible under the guidance of an adult, in the end she's matured and finally learned how to take charge of her life and decide how she wants to live it. The characters in Buffy are also very attractive, it's almost like Friends, you can't help but love all of them! Willow who's smart, cutely silly, lesbian, and powerful wicca, always trustworthy and loyal to the gang, but also showed her dark side.

Zander whose lack of intelligence adds humor to the gang, but eventually develops into a real man, plus a demon as a girlfriend. Giles, who's Britishness adds enough spice to the gang, and who patiently guides Buffy in her path towards maturity, and without being boring! Angel, who's everyone's first favorite vampire, broody and dark, responsible and mature, the perfect first boyfriend for Buffy except that he cannot be hers. The end of season 2 breaks everyone's heart and is a scene forever to be remembered. Spike, who starts out as a scary badass vampire but soon turns into most people's second favorite vampire, with his humor, his fondness of alcohol, TV, and other things human, and his bad temper and his unpredictability. He's my favorite vampire, and I will always remember the touching scene when he returns after getting his soul back, he's a ruin of a man and mumbles in a church as Buffy watches him in awe, "...why does a man do what he does, for her, for her to love him", and he rests his naked torso on the cross, his flesh sizzling. And of course Buffy, the heroine who starts off the blonde teenage girl that she is, licking lollipops and on her way to the cheerleading squad. She is hit with responsibility that she never wanted or expect, but is forced to cope with. She grows incredibly in the show, with all the horrible things that happen to her, Angel, Riley, her mom, Dawn, and in the end the über-vamps, she learned to deal with it and take the responsibility. I also brushed her off as a pretty but dumb blonde in the beginning, but she soon impressed me.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American supernatural drama series that aired from March 10, 1997 until May 20, 2003. The series was created in 1997 by writer-director Joss Whedon under his production tag, Mutant Enemy Productions with later co-executive producers being Jane Espenson, David Fury, and Marti Noxon. The series narrative follows Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women known as Slayers. Slayers are chosen by fate to battle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness. Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who guides, teaches, and trains her. Unlike her predecessors, Buffy surrounds herself with a circle of loyal friends who become known as the "Scooby Gang".



The series usually reached between four and six million viewers on original airings.Although such ratings are lower than successful shows on the "big four" networks (ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox),they were a success for the relatively new and smaller WB Television Network.Reviews for the show were positive,and it was ranked #41 on the list of TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time as well as #2 on Empire's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. Buffy was also voted #3 in TV Guide's Top 25 Cult TV Shows of All Time and included in TIME Magazine's 100 Best TV Shows of All Time.It was nominated for Emmy and Golden Globe awards Winning a total of 3 Emmys. The WB network ceased operation on September 17, 2006 after airing an "homage" to its "most memorable series", including the pilot episodes of Buffy and its spin-off Angel.Buffy's success has led to hundreds of tie-in products, including novels, comics, and video games. The series has received attention in fandom (including fan films), parody, and academia, and has influenced the direction of other television series.

This show is the best show ever made. It is a drama, comedy and action show all in once. The show doesn't have any restraints when it comes to the genre, which makes the show better than best. Another reason it's the best show ever made is that it goes as deep as you want it to go. You can watch an episode and wonder what the moral behind it is, but you can also watch an episode for fun and nothing more. I think the reason a lot of teenagers like the show is because the demons Buffy has to face represent the fears we all feel. The show just made those fears into 'living' beings which can be hit. Watching Buffy fighting those demons shows we can fight our fears.

Sarah Michelle Geller as Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the most beloved characters in television history. This show ran for seven years from 1997 till 2001 on the doomed WB network and then was picked up by the UPN for its final two years 2001-2003. During its run it pulled very good numbers for the fledgling WB network and spawned the popular series Angel starring David Boreanaz.



Beside Geller the cast consisted off Nicholas Brendon as Xander who was later on Kitchen Confidential. Alyson Hannigan as Willow who has gone on to star in movies and the hit TV show How I Met Your Mother. Anthony Stewart Head as Giles, Buffy's mentor. David Boreanaz as Angel who went on to the show of the same name and plays Booth on the current FOX hit Bones, Charisma Carpenter, who played Cornelia for three seasons and then went on to star in the spin off Angel. Michelle Trachtenberg as Buffy's sister Dawn Summers. James Master as Spike who also went to be on Angel at the end of Buffy's run. Emma Caulfield as Anya my favorite character who also starred in the film Darkness Falls. Amber Bensen who played Tara. Marc Blucas as Riley Finn. Finally Seth Green who played OZ and may be the most successful actor who played in the series as his roles (40+ movie roles and 60+ TV roles) include Austin Powers, Family Guy, and The Italian Job just to name a few.



As you can see from the long cast of characters this series had a incredible amount of talent involved. This was also another of Joss Whedon's projects. Joss' more famous productions are shows like Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible, and The Dollhouse.



Even though supernatural shows came before and since this show seems to stand out as the creature(vampire) feature champion that proved vampires could be sexy in Hollywood as mainline characters. There have been shows like Dark Knight and Dark Shadows prior that pioneered the vampire as a main character, but I think Buffy brought the genre out of the closet and has spawned many books, TV shows, and movies.



Just recently there have been discussions of a Buffy movie even though there already was one prior to the TV series starring Kristy Swanson. If there is a movie I personally would like to see the cast of the TV show reprise their roles. I am sure Geller is still in shape and could pull off a believable twenty something in the lead role.



I definitely would recommend you watch this series from beginning to end. There are some really brilliant episodes like the Musical one in the later years that you will watch over and over again.



Thanks for reading...

Well what can I say about this show! Absolutely amazingly written, directed and created by none other than Joss Whedon! the buffyverse he has created is very special to all the fans and his use of the english language is brilliant, he makes up phrases and new words that are hilarious. It is a great show that he believes is aimed at creating a powerful female role model and tackles many feminist issues in the narratives. The monster to every episode is apparent but still the relationships that occur throughout the show are the most important aspect of it. it is a great series to critique if you are a film studies buff or if you just want entertainment, it is terrific for that. Highly recommended show for those who love action/romance/comedy in their lives.Once you start you'll be hooked. Every season is a joy to watch!!

Yeah, I said it and I meant every bit of it. Buffy the Vampire Slayer has offered some of the most intelligent and thought provoking scenarios ever. From an entire town losing their voice and slowly having their souls sucked away by monsters to being trapped in a house by a mean-spirited vengeance demon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer always brought new ideas into the fray. However, that alone doesn't make the series worthy of my claim. What really engages you into the story is it's incredible drama, awesome cast of characters and unbelievably well-told fiction. Everything in the series is so well fleshed-out and has a meaning. The characters are incredible and each have their own motive and ideals.



The show also deals with mature themes. *Minor Spoilers* In one part of the series, a character falls in love and copulates with an ensouled vampire. The bond is so great that the happiness eventually destroys the curse that locked the character into his souled position. As he becomes evil he begins to torment his former lover. The heart pulls during those episodes are deftly executed and really make you feel the emotions the characters are feelings.



All in all, this is one of my all time favorite shows. I've seen every episode and wouldn't mind seeing them all again. Well, most of them, there are a few that leave something to be desired. If you like these types of shows, Buffy is most surely top of its class and you'd be a fool not to check it out.

Buffy the vampire slayer, remake of the failed 1992 film (that's just older than me), became one of the greatest shows ever. It starred buffy summers (al seasons), willow rosenberg (all seasons), rupert giles (main s1-5, recurring s6 & 7), xander (all), anya (appeared in s3, reccuring s4, main s5-7), dawn (s5-7), angel (recurring s1, main s2 & 3, main in spinoff angel), spike (s2 & 3, main s4-7, joined angel for s5), cordy (s1-3, joined angel for s1-4) and tara (s4-6, main for seeing red). i havent been a buffy fan for long, but once i liked angel, i loved buffy, then loved firefly, dr horrible nd dollhouse. all falls in place

When I first saw Buffy I wasn't really blown away or anything, but it caught my attention. And after a while I coldn't stop watching. The charcters are well written and very deep too. Everyone has to go through their personal ups and downs. And although Buffy is the main character the Scoobies are never forgotten. And without them the show wouldn't have been so good.

I'm a huge Joss Whedon fan and he wrote and directed some episodes here that belong to the best I've ever seen. The most heartbreaking one was "The Body". Joyce Summers was never my favourite, but I cried my eyes out from beginning to end, especially in that Willow/Anya scene.

And of course there was "Once more with feeling". I love musicals and I never expected to see one on the TV. But when I did I watched it again and again.

That's perfect television!

First of all, this episode of Buffy is the only on to date that gave me a kind of creepy feeling. All the other ones are fun. funny and sarcastic but this one was actually kind of...ulgh. The Gentlemen are an ulgh looking kind of wide eyed dudes that Whedon gave great detail to. I love the suits and suitcases, I loved the bony hands and the no lips smile with the silver teeth. The no voice part was eery and the fact that they we're so nice in their demeanor and so civilised yet serial killer like made it perfect. But the slideshow...definately the best part.

Don't be fooled by the (sometimes cringe-worthy) campiness of Season 1, where it's a few steps away from Saved by the Bell cheesiness, the show really takes off in season 2. That's when the show really takes a turn into a darker and more emotional side, which is one of the shows trademarks. I love Buffy because of this. Not just that, the characters are fleshed out, the relationships between them are fleshed out, and overall, the concept of a girl going around beating the crap out of vampires (demons, and the forces of darkness) seems perfectly understandable when you watch Buffy. Buffy the Vampire Slayer has, expectantly, gained a cult following that will surely stay alive for years to come. The story is compelling and while it obviously has the 'LAST DECADE' label on it, it's a classic. Give Joss Whedon some slack, in the 90's, it seemed like a pretty good idea (And it totally was).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer built upon the Strong Female Hero concept that Xena: Warrior Princess had just recently introduced into so many American homes. Buffy took the tongue-in-cheek humor and sarcastic wit from Xena and added more stong female characters, even more sarcasm, and just the right amount of action and drama to keep us all glued to the TV for a full hour almost every week for, quite literally, years!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the first TV show that I religiously watched new every week of every season from the middle of Season 1 to the end of Season 7 (and re-watched at least once again just before the new fall season began). Of course, that wasn't truly the end of Buffy and company, so I had to watch the spin-off show Angel for another few years to get full closure of Buffy and Angel's deep, true, heart-breaking lovestory. Even now, so many years later, I still get weepy.

But I still enjoy catching Buffy on syndication now and then and even my husband of 7+ years still gets a kick out of watching Buffy and her co-stars whip out the sarcasm and beat up the bad guys, all while looking hot!

When BTVS first aired all those years ago, it was thought that it may not last past one season. It had the lowest episode count for a premier(12), and its first episode didn't fare that well among critics. Once it gained recognition amongst viewers, as well as a slowly growing fandom all its own, BTVS continued to thrive and surprise. Joss said that he wanted to really develop the characters, and go further with them, creating new stories in each episode, which is exactly what he did.



The story: Buffy Summers is not your ordinary high schooler. She leads a secret life as a vampire slayer, albeit sometimes killing other various baddies that need killing. She transfers to Sunnydale California with her mother, attending Sunnydale High, which happens to house the hellmouth (center of all evil). She makes friends there who accept her odd night job, and help her out when they can with their own interesting quirks. The schools librarian is in fact her Watcher (mentor) and guides her to be able to react to the different situations she will encounter over the course of the next 7 years.



You may be wondering how any of this could be so interesting to so many people that the show managed to last 7 seasons. The writers don't just write scripts with the odd off-beat joke here and there. They made the characters witty, quirky, sarcastic, and sincere with all of their fantastic writing. And that's just one side to the script coin.



In the season 4 episode entitled Hush, three quarters of the episode finds the entire cast with no voice, thus to convey their "speech" they have to use facial expressions, funny body motions, and they also have the help of some 10$ white boards. That episode was nominated for an Emmy.



The show also was also granted an incredible cast. With varying degrees of acting in their arsenals, as the seasons go by, you can see how much they start to rub off on each other and mature. Obviously after spending so much time together, it makes sense that their on screen chemistry is so believable. At the end of all things, all the positives that came out of Buffy still linger today. The love of vampires has come back stronger than ever, and peoples vocabularies have developed far beyond what their parents probably thought was possible. All in all, very worthwhile show to check out, even if you only watch one episode. Each episode is unique in one aspect or another, and that's just another thing that makes this show so great. You know what you're going to get, and yet, there are some things that you will just not see coming, yet you'll be pleased that they're there.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a hard show to categorize. It has Drama, Comedy, Science Fiction, Martial Arts, Romance, and Horror elements. All of which blend together very nicely. I think a lot of people dismiss this show as some cheesy low budget vampire show, but it's so much more. Hell, it even had an episode that was a Musical...One of my favorites as a matter of fact.



The show ran for seven seasons, spanning 1997-2003. The first five on the WB and the last two on UPN. Buffy was cited as a key series for helping to build those networks.



The show received good reviews and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award. It was also nominated for a whopping 96 other various awards, winning 30 of them.



THE STORY



At it's core, it's the story of a girl, a girl who's whole life turns upside down overnight. A girl who has a whole new world of responsibility thrown upon her at the age of 16. She is the slayer, first and foremost. She doesn't get the luxury of having a normal life, to experience what it is to be a normal teenager. What she wants doesn't matter, she is a protector....a Savior.



Throughout the series she struggles with supernatural catastrophes, all the while dealing with real life-everyday problems. Breakfast, School, Save the World, Homework, Dinner is pretty much her life. Nothing she has is normal. Her first love is with a Vampire cursed with a soul. Her best friend is a Witch. She has to hide what she is from everyone outside her circle, including her own Mother.



Season one was 12 episodes long. It starts off as Joyce Summers has moved herself and her daughter(Buffy Anne Summers) to Sunnydale because Buffy has been having trouble at her old school. Joyce is looking for a new start for Buffy. She of course doesn't know her daughter is "The Slayer". Joyce simply dismisses Buffy's problems as teenage delinquence when as a matter of fact, she has been fighting vampires and demons. Little does Joyce or Buffy know, but they just moved to a "Hellmouth". A Hellmouth is a supernatural portal that attracts all sorts of evil and is a gateway to different Hell dimensions.



Buffy soon meets some of the main characters for the show. Rupert Giles, Alexander(Xander) Harris, Willow Rosenberg, Cordelia Chase, and Angel. Together they form the Scooby's and fight your everyday vamps and demons, all while trying to just get through High School.



The main Villain for Season one is "The Master". The Master is the leader of "The Order of Aurelius" which is a vampire cult. This cult included Darla, who is an Important but not so much main character. She was Angelus' Sire. They were lovers for over a century before Angelus was cursed by the Gypsys. Anyway, The Masters ultimate goal is to open the Hellmouth and unleash hell on earth. Buffy and the gang must do everything in their power to stop him, even if it costs Buffy her life...and it does.



Buffy has a lot in store for her over the remaining 6 seasons, and it's a journey that needs to be witnessed by anyone who seeks fantastic story telling.



This show is a 10 to me. Anything that I didn't care for in the show was largely overshadowed by all the things that I loved about it. I've watched the series from start to finish about 10 times in the last 4 years. By the time I make it to the last episode, I already crave the story again. Few shows can make me feel the scope of emotion that I do when I watch this show. I mean, I love television. More so than I love Movies. But very few shows can draw me in on an emotional level. Buffy the Vampire slayer was the first show I've really ever loved.



Now, putting aside my personal bias for a moment, I think the average viewer would find some faults with the show. Probably some of the dated material and effects would detract from some people's overall opinion the show. People might be uneasy with the fact that there are openly gay and not so openly gay characters.



Man, I'm having a tough time picking out flaws...lol. I'll just have to go with gut feeling I suppose.



I believe the average viewer would rate this an 8.7/10...IMO the average viewer can take that 8.7 and shove it! I still give it a 10!



I believe anyone who dismisses Buffy without giving it a shot is only cheating them self.

Buffy tries to lead a normal life and when it's not time to stalk the graveyards for vampires she's looking for the cute boys at school, the latest fashion in shoes and maybe even trying to do well in classes - but more often than not there's something nasty in the school itself, stopping her getting the grades, the boys and even the shoes. The Demons and other creatures are fantastic, as quirky as the humans sometimes and quite originally terrifying to look at. Every season has a plot arc and a different villain, and they are all incredible. Each season is like a book being told in chapters. There are many "filler" episodes that don't serve any purpose to the overall story arc, but they are more than fun. Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy was so much fun :)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer will always be my favorite show dealing with scary creatures of the night, which are usually vampires, except that one episode I remember seeing where a creepy red-eyed mask was able to make dead people come to life, there's also a few other episodes I remember that had some sort of dangerous scaly demons or monsters. This show is great, I find it highly entertaining, as Buffy does a real good job at slaying away all evil to protect world chaos and harm towards other people. Whenever there's sight of a vampire or some other danger creature from the underworld, Buffy comes to the rescue. Armed with a wooden stake, evil vampires will be eliminated. I love awesome shows such as this, there are some great horror-themed shows with Halloween creatures, and this show is definitely one of them. I think Buffy, the main character, does a great job in her show, and fits her role perfectly. The other actors do a great job as well, like say, Buffy's friends she hangs around with in the show. This was a classic show that I used to watch lots when I was younger. With the good kind of scariness, and well thought-out plots in many episodes, this is one of those shows that makes you never want to miss catching new episodes. Even though it looks like it has ended now, this show will still live on in our hearts and memories.

I did not really start watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer until I randomly started watching season 6 one day. Then it started over with season one and I fell in love with the show. I could not stop watching it and I miss it greatly. It somehow draws you in with all of the drama and slight humor. I still watch it to this day whenever I can find it on television or I watch it online. I will never get sick of Buffy. I would love it if they decided to just start doing the show again, it would make me the happiest.

Okay so there are plenty of people who hate this show. They think its just about a bunch of atractive people killing evil things just for the sake of killing them. And for the first season it pretty much is. But as the show groes it becomes this huge universe of plot twists and humour. The series gets better and better right up to its dramatic climax after a good run of seven excellent series. And all those people who say that the shows dumb and rediculous? So what? Yes we know that the goodies will win in the nd but its the journey towards that inevitable conclusion that makes the show great. Plus as the show gets older it becomes darker and darker much like its spinoff series Angel. There are more charecter deaths and harder challenges for the charecters to overcome. A great cult classic.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is most definetly one of the most revolutionary TV shows on TV at the moment. If you do not like Buffy The Vampire Slayer then I'm afraid you have no heart, it is one my all time favourites (I have the whole DVD boxset!) I think it has grown so much since season 1 when Buffy was just a timid girl in a short skirt and Willow was a nerdy straight girl.



Season 1 - Not one of my favourite seasons but still an okay season to watch. It only had 12 episodes which made it a little bit short (obviously.) It had a few good storylines with Angel, the Master and the school. The filler episodes I liked the best were "Teacher's Pet," "Never Kill A Boy On The First Date" and "Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind."



Season 2 - A good step up from season 1 but also not my favourite. Most of the filler episodes in this season where very boring and pointless like "Go Fish" and "Inca Mummy Girl." However, the finale for this season was amazing with Buffy and Angelus having their big battle. And also the two episodes with the Judge were perfect!



Season 3 - There are two Slayers! Faith comes into this season and I took a liking to her until she became evil and worked with the Mayor. The two things I didn't like about this season were the Mayor and a couple of the filler episodes. Episodes like "Beauty And The Beast" and "Band Candy" were really boring. The Mayor, even though most people thought he was the best villian in the Buffy universe, I found him very annoying and couldn't wait for him to die.



Season 4 - This the season where the series matured. It had everyone going off to college and starting a new life, but college has become a lot like high school. This was my third fourth favourite season with the big bad being a human/demon/robot hybrid. Also, it brings Buffy's new love, Riley Finn and the Initiative. This season has my second favourite episode in it "Hush" the episode with the creepy Gentlemen.



Season 5 - Who is Dawn? The first question I thought of when I began to watch this season. My second favourite season because of it's plot and filler episodes. The whole Glory and Dawn/the Key plot is one of the best and most imaginitive storylines a TV programme has ever had. Also, this season has one of the most famous vampires in histroy, Count Dracula. My favourite filler episode for this season was "Listening To Fear" with the creepy Queller demon.



Season 6 - My favourite Buffy season, definetly a 10/10! Not only does it involve Willow going evil but it features my favourite episode "Once More With Feeling." Also the filler episodes are getting a lot better such as "All The Way," "Dead Things" and "Doublemeat Palace." Dark Willow is my favourite villian from the Buffy universe, it is so unexpected that Willow would become evil. She was once a nerdy girl who loved school and now she is homocidle witch. The only bad thing about this season is that Tara, one of my favourite characters, died.



Season 7 - The final season that kind of disappointed me. The First Evil is back and better than ever. My favourite episode of this season is either "Bring On The Night" or "Showtime" mostly because Buffy gets her ass kicked by a Turok-Han. The ending for Buffy is very sad with a lot of deaths you didn't want, such as Amanda and Anya. Poor Anya, my favourite character is now dead!



So all in all Buffy is my all time favourite television series. Also, this review is one of my longest with over 630 words!
