i too love Buffy. I think "Once More With Feeling" was my favorite episode, but I loved the ones in the second season with Cordilia.

Love Buffy!
I have all the seasons and find time to watch at least 2 or 3 episodes a week.
Obviously, this is one of the very best shows ever on television.
My favorite "nemesis" was Glory.

I think what always made it so popular was the originality of the show. As has been mentioned, it spawned all the clones and the spin off series (although the premise of Angel was a tad silly, I felt). At its peak, the scripts were so admirably strong, that recognition of the show's quality were necessary, and it deserved such a strong devoted fan base.
More than one class in my Uni pulled examples from Buffy whenever possible (one lecturer was just as big a fan of spike as I. She beat me in the end, by having a cardboard cut-out of him set up in her office).
I still didn't like it so much, though. It wasn't great at the beginning. I found it to be formulaic and predictable. You could, however, notice a strong development as soon as the longer story arcs kicked in.
All in all, it definitely deserves plenty of recognition. I just can't quite put my finger on why i don't like it.
Charmed (the poor man's Buffy) is similar. Really don't like that one for a variety of reasons, but have seen pretty much every episode. Ugh, I feel so dirty.

For me, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best SF series ever made. It had 7 seasons overall, all great. The show is just amazing... from great storylines, amazing characters, amazingly written episodes... this show is just the best that I've ever seen! Although I'm not a hardcore fan.
Itw as pretty cool how it originally used supernatural occurances as allegories to high school/teenage life. But even better was that it allowed its supernatural nature to make it into a sci-fi show instead of a cheap front and always used the supernatural as a means of conveying very real events in daily life and emotions. Especially coolw as season 6 and 7, where the world of Buffy and all thats he does and knows collides with the 'normal' world. How does a secret super heroin stand in a world that would probably think she's nuts (such as when she needed a loan, got denied, then saved the guy froma demon, and he still denied her the loan).
The show had a lot of depth that people who had never seen it never understood. A friend of mine always wrote it off saying "Yeah, a girl fights vampires. Deep." when a lot of the issues portrayed in the show used the supernatural occurances as catalysts or backdrops to a larger human experience (but again, never used them as a front).
The Body was a fantastic example, whereone was so used to calamity being an actual force, something that could be stopped and had been stopped byt he super heroin, but ended up being somethign completely normal and unstoppable. Even afterwards, the supernatural allowed the concept of fate and death to be explored in ways that a 'real' TV show never could. By being supernatural, it allows Dawn to explore the lessons in accepting death instead of trying to subvert it (by wishing that her mother be brought back to life).
Another one was addiction, as portrayed by Willows growing use, control, abuse, and rehabilitation in all things magical from the beginning of season 2 all the way to season 7.
The show had a lot to offer besides being some campy sci-fi fantasy show (like, say, Charmed...don't hate me, it's just the way I feel). Even the musical episode, which many series have done before, wasn't like the others. Other series make a one-shot musical show with little or no substance fromt he rest of the show, but Once More With Feeling was the musical episode and every storyline converged in that episode. Buffy's true feelings about being resurrected were revealed to her friends (that she had been in heaven before she was revived, not hell as she had told them), Xander's insecurities about his engagement to Anya, Willow's abuse of magic and abuse of Tara's trust, Tara leaving, Giles leaving, and Buffy's semi-acceptance of her relationship/feelings with Spike. Everything important came up in that episode, and no 'joke episode' I dare say, has ever managed to equate what Once More With Feeling did.
There is some fantastic writing and fantastic acting in that show. It's no wonder that there's a film professor at my school who teaches with screenings of Buffy.

It's an incridble show.
I mean, it pushed some wiccans a little over the sanity edge, but it really did have a lot of heart and some hilrous moments.
Wish I could have seen more of it.

I loved Glory. Favorite. Villain. Ever.
Agreed. She was awesome. I don't think any villain really stood out from all the rest. She was bad, totally didn't care because 'bad' meant nothing to her, sassy, nuts, and sometimes a little human.
Loved the show, the best moments for me were when Anya said anything... because before she spoke you just knew it would be funny.
I also agree on Glory being the best nemesis, loved when she broke her shoe when fighting Buffy... classic.

Hell yeah on the Adam part, he sucked ! I just love buffy because it is my life-series... TV-series is my hobby/passion for 10 years now, and buffy is still my favorite, becouse it gave me strenght and stuff to go on when time's where rough in my life...
As for Glory... She was super great, but I liked 'The First Evil' the best, I think because 'it' could take the form of everyone that is (or has been
) dead.Greetz ! (ps: sorry if my english wasn't so good, i'm from belgium)

Well my favourite bad guys are Faith and The Evil Willow, though they both become good again at last.
The scene where Faith gives Welsey a hammering was pretty intense and then her fight in the rain with Angel was awesome.
I think it was a shame Elisha Dushku went for Tru Calling (which didn't last) instead of a Faith spin-off (which probably would've lasted a lot longer).

Yeah I was wondering why she turned down the spin-off..I mean she already had a built in fanbase! And Tru-Calling seemed lame from the getgo! I loved Faith when she was bad,Angel was my fav hunk, hated Riley, hated the Spike/Buffy relationship towards the last couple of seasons,Harmony was hilerous, Glory was my fav villian, Evil Out of Control Willow was exciting to watch, I hated how they killed Anya(one of my fav characters!) at the end, and at one point Angel had way better writing and action then Buffy..but it redeemed itself towards the end! I heard there was a rumor that there might be a Buffy Movie featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar..I hope its true and comes out alot sooner then the rumored Xena Movie
I thought I would hate the Ashanti and the Musical Episode but I actually loved both!
There was only ever one true love for Buffy and that was Angel. As lame as it sounds that was one of the great things about the first three seasons was this relationship between two people who were never meant to be together but no matter what hurdles were thrown in their way they always ended up back together. Look at Amends where Angel tries to kill himself for Buffy by waiting for the sun to rise and instead it snows.
I thought their break-up in the Angel episode I Will Remember You was heartbreaking. After Angel became human and they could be together properly and then time had to go back and Buffy wouldn't remember their time together but Angel would always remember. That certainly made me cry.

another thing why I loved the show so much was the music... And especially the music from the last 3 seasons... every song they pick for a specific scene, it always feels right with it. and I have to say, Rob Duncan did a great job on the last season of Buffy !!

Blue from Conversations With Dead People is such a good song!
And yet, they only made one with non-musical episode music. It didn't seem very good. Did anyone listen to it? By the way, when Michelle Branch was on it she sucked hard.
