Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This show is so underrated. People just don't appreciate it's uniqueness. There is no othe show that can incorporate horror, humour, drama and many more better than this one. There isn't a genre that it doesn't satisfy. These sort of shows don't come around very often and Joss Whedon has created a gem. It will live on in the minds of people forever. It's an inspiration to all of us. There is at least one character that you can relate to. Emma Caulfield and James Marsters,not to mention Alyson Hannigan and Nick Brendon, are comic geniuses.They have all had their problems but have still managed to impress us. They have all worked so hard to produce such a great show and a huge part of my life. My favourite season is season 6. It doesn't just deal with the usual evils, vampires,demons but it shows them growing up, dealing with real life things and thats what makes it an incredible show. It is a shame it has ended when there are yet so many people to experience it. My ultimate favourite episode is Touched. The speeches given by Spike and Buffy are inspirational and it shows that without Buffy things would be a lot harder. Thanks to all the Buffy team over the years for creating such a great show. I'm just so sad that its over but hopefully a Buffy movie or series could be on the cards in the future.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer helped me through some really bad times in my life, it gave me friends that would always be therre for me and gave me hope for the future. Seeing the characters going through hell - sometimes literally - in their lives made my problems seem pale in comparison. A lthough Buffy is a world filled with demons, vampires and other evils, it is also in world in which three characters grow up. Buffy, Willow and Xander don't just encounter the supernatural, they have to deal with ordinary problems as well and sometimes they don't cope, they aren't alright, which goes to show how realistic Buffy is, because sometimes we don't all cope and we're not alright. My favourite season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is season 6, because it is not a season of big bads, it is season where the characters themselves are their own main enemies. It is a season of grief and loss, and whereas in every other season to date, the big bad has been defeated, everyone is happy again and all loose ties are firmly tied up, this season does not end like this. It ends with sorrow and remorse and the loose ends flying in the wind, it is a period of transition for the characters from childhood to adulthood. My favourite episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Amends because of the raw passion and emotion shown. An excellent series that will be sorely missed.

This show was my absolute favourite, along with Angel that it. I have never actually seen such a great show.



I saw the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and I didnt approve of it much, then I heard that there was a series about Buffy and thought to myself how can that be because the movie wasnt so great. My husband to me that we should watch it and I thought why not the movie was worth a few laughs, so what harm woulf this do. I was wrong, it was absolutely brilliant and it actually made me a Buffy memorabilia collector and to tell you the truth I am still stunned that its gone.



I have nothing forward to watching anymore except for my Buffy DVDs that I bought.



Honestly and truly this was the best show that Ive seen in ages. (Dont forget Angel). So if youre into supernatural beasties and what not, then this one is worth the watch. :o)

Buffy is definitely my favorite show of all time. I discovered it at the end of its second season when a friend of mine gave me a bunch of her tapes to watch it because she just loved it so much. From the second I pressed play, that was it. I was doing whatever I could to watch the show, seeing every rerun and scouring the internet for information on the \"nobodys\" that played the characters. I wanted to be Buffy, to date Angel, and hang with Willow and Xander. Sure, its lost some of its power points for me - I\'ve seen every ep about 60 times, and of course the last couple of seasons weren\'t as good as the first couple. But besides all of that, I would pick my least favorite episode of Buffy, over my favorite episode of any other tv show. And there are alot.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is simply the best show from my generation!



The writing is beyond this world. The characters feel so real! Each episode just grabs ahold to you and takes you on a wonderful adventure.



The stories are so rich in form. You're laughing one minute, the next you're crying your eyes out, and before you know it--you're frightened beyond your wits and clenching to your couch for protection.



Buffy not only saved the world. She--along with her friends--also saved television!



The show stands the test of time. The show is literature. An epic literature!

BStV is absolutly my all time favorite show because it's not only about dealing with vampires and demons, it discuses about real life situations as well. It's amazing to see how many talented writers come up with so many ideas to create such a fantastic show. "Buffy"'s a show that is completely debatable and you can either hate it or love it but I know for sure that I love it.

I think this show has all that i want in a show, Love, hate, very cool fight sceens and some very good locking guys, and girls. sometimes i can be a little to mutch but that is great i meen it's not just heavy action but also a funny kind of childish humor. And som kick ass fight quotes.

buffy is the greatest show ever created for th small screen. the show has yet to be matched by any other show. through out the years it amazed tv audiences everywhere. Buffy still remains the best show on th air, and i hope that one day it will return to the big screen, sarah michelle gellar deliverd a killer kick butt performance.

I loved Buufy while it was on. Ok it ended on TV but will remain in me like forever.

The show didn't just deal with evil but normal life situations as well such as High School and friends.

I'm going to say the kinda same thing that i said in My "Charmed" review that earlier seasons were better. All the seasons were great but I think after season five it got a little out of control.

But it is GREAT!!!

Buffy is so cool. I like how she has friends help her out with her slaying and other demens. I guess thats what I like the most it\'s not just vampiers there are other demens too. I have all seven seasons on dvd and I could watch them over and over again.

Alright, get over it. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” could not be a cheesier title. Heck, it kept me from watching the show for the longest time.



What happened you might ask? It all began with a friend who mutually loved Alias. She was always a big fan of Buffy, so I thought that I’d give in and let the show have a few hours of my life. It was an event of titanic proportions and I just sunk deeper into the world created by Joss Whedon.



Let me start where I began my Buffy journey. That big night in April last year when I tuned into the forth season with “The Initiative” was a decent place to start. Riley was just being introduced and four episodes later was the incredible “Hush.” The mediocre fourth season got me into the show and held me into the next season.



The fifth season was and still is the best of all seven. “The Body” is the single best use of television as an art form. I nearly cried the entire hour. This season also introduced Glory. She was the ideal evil power, she was entirely scary and yet entirely human. The buildup to the climax of the season was the BEST ever on television, hands down. It could have easily ended right there and everyone would have been happy (and according to Joss, he wanted it to seem like the series finale).



But the series still had more stories to tell. Including an entirely musical episode that was able to come off well. The sixth season also brought about a darker tone as the “scooby gang” began to separate from each other. Willow became the big bad of the season and the show had another great climax with Xander’s yellow crayon speech.



Season seven had some good episodes but lacked air time for its main characters. As the final season, I would have much rather had more stories about the main group than the slayerettes that came to town.



As I continued watching the show at a feverish pace (about 5-10 episodes a week), season one began. While it is the weakest season, it provided the background and experimenting that was needed to make future seasons great.



Seasons two and three got better and saw an unexpected bad guy in one of the main cast. The music at the end of the second season, composed by Christophre Beck is also some of the most powerful music ever (as is his composed music for the end of “The Gift”). Season three was not my favorite overall, but had many solid stand-alone episodes that I really enjoyed.



After coming full circle to when Oz leaves Sunnydale, I was extremely satisfied that I had spent a couple hours about eight months ago on a show that really didn’t seem that interesting to me.



In short, the acting, the writing, the show, even the little Mutant Enemy Mummy Guy at the end is all awesome. Take the show for a four episode test run. Just know that you will embark on an epic journey that you won’t soon forget. I could keep going on forever with this review, but don’t you have some of your own hesitations to slay?

When I initially saw the ads for Buffy the Vampire Slayer way back on 1997, I made a lot of jokes about it. I mean the movie is just this side of terrible.



I took only one episode and I was hooked. Buffy unlike anything I ever saw before, and until I saw Verorica Mars, since. Armed with a preposterous theme, wacky villains and conveniently dusty vampires, this show redefined television all by itself. This is the show that put The WB on the map all by itself, and that most of its shows as well as other network’s shows use as a bar.



This show was strong from beginning to end. Apart from the infamous “John Ritter robot” episode all the rest were almost perfect.



I was amazed at how satisfying the friendship of the scoobies, as they were called reminded me so much of my own friends. I fell in love with Angel and wept as he went away. I remember a college experience very much like Buffy’s. I was perplexed by the addition of a sister and how well it actually fitted continuity. I felt Willow’s lust for vengeance and cried when Xander saved the world with talk of a yellow crayon. But the thing that touched me the most, is that the ending of this show was daring, original and just perfect, a rarity in today’s tv environment where executives want to play everything safe..



Joss Whedon, retained full creative rights and that shows on the quality of the show. All the actors where amazing, but special mention goes to Sarah Michelle Gellar who showed an amazing range of talent, making me believe that Buffy was as real as you or I.



If you like series with great creative direction, witty dialogue, lots of emotion and an ability to take itself both seriously and lightly at the same time, this show is for you. If you don’t think you like shows like that, give this one a try, it may change your tastes…

btvs was an awesome show. it was very well written and directed. each season was great and only got better the following season. it had tear jerking moments,like when buffy's mom died, to action filled parts, like in the series finale. it comes to no surprise that this show is the best. its one of the very few shows that you can watch and not get tired of it. thank god for technology cuz now the complete series is on dvd. it was a truly magnificent show from the very start to the very end. and its spinoff wasnt that bad either.

Buffy The Vampire was Slayer was one of the greatest shows on TV. This show was praised by critics from magizines and people all around the world. It has tons of fan sites and more fans. Some people say this show was dumb because it had to do with magic and demons, but I doubt they watched the show fully.



This show will be missed.

The single most greatest show on television! Terrific Cast, Excellent Writing with great twists and turns, and most of all Outstanding Episodes that gp where no show has gone before: to a musical to a silent episode, this show has it all. Not to mention the great drama and loving characters mainly Tara (in my opinion). This show has changed my life like many other fans around the world. So I encourage anyone who hasn't seen this series to go and give it a go. You won't regret it. Buffy will go down in History.

Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy, wanted a show about the young blonde girl who stereotypically turns and runs at the sight of a monster in the monster movie, to turn around and instead beat the heck out of the bad guys.



I must admit that the title of this show initially turned me off to watching it, but luckily I had a friend who convinced me to watch this show, and I found it to be greatly rewarding.



The seven year story follows the life of the vampire slayer Buffy Summers, as she goes through high school, starts college, and matures into adulthood.



This show is primarily character driven, and somewhat plot driven. The writing was just fantastic. The worst of any Buffy episode is merely good. The best of any Buffy episode is just amazing. The overall tone of the show varies from season to season, but overall it is lighter than Angel, it's spinoff show.



Given the character driven nature of the show, the actors really rose to the challenge. A surprising amount of depth is seen in the acting of even the youngest members of the cast. Certain character actors were so good that they either became main characters (Spike), started spinoff shows (Angel), or became recurring characters (Drusilla, Harmony, etc..)



This show, although based in a fantasy universe loosely based on reality, is very much drama oriented. Most anyone who watches this show will become invested in the characters and will find themselves drawn in to the fascinating array of character changes, plot problems that arise and how they affect the characters, and the direction that the lives of the various characters take.



This show is so influential that it's genre has leaked out into video games, roleplaying games, comics, and fiction.



This show should be a favorite for a long time to come.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a show that both critics and fans agreed was the best written on television. Joss Whedon brought us into a world filled with complex characters, interesting plots, and nasty monsters. It started as just a mid-season replacement on the small WB network but soon grew to be one of the most popular and successful shows of the time. In season one we are introduced to the theme "high school is hell", literally. Sunnydale High, where Buffy and co. attend high school is literally sitting on the mouth of Hell. The originality has began. Through the years the fans went through an emotinal journey with Buffy and her friends. Buffy took simple themes, like a boyfriend being mean after a night in the sheets, and made them into large story-arcs bringing the show the new levels of complexity. Good guys went evil and evil guys turned good. One main character even switched sexual preferences. All in all, the series took on different issues and storys to make one of the best series on television. What other show could make an episode that is almost totally silent or one with nothing but singing and dancing? Not to many can without being slammed by critics. But the critics loved Buffy! With its talented team of writers anything was possible for the series, nothing was to cheesy or fake. So we say goodbye after seven years, and even though it's no longer turning out stories, it lives in the fans. In our hearts.
