Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angle ist the single most intelligent, creative and fascinating universe in the history of TV series. At its best it transcended the medium and reached a shakespearian quality.

I own all the Buffy and Angel box sets and recently got Buffy season 8 (the comic version). I think it's a great show.

I am not ashamed at all.

Spammy is clearly more of a "Charmed" man.
 
Comparing Buffy to Charmed is like comparing George Best to Emil Heskey.
 
I think it's more like comparing George Best with Boy George.


I agree.

The Buffyverse is perfect to judge people. People who don't "get it" are intellectually and emotionally retarded. FACT.
 
Think Charmed was better than Buffy

And the ladies were much cute also
 
From the outside Buffy and Angel look completely lame but the way Whedon created and developed the characters and through them revamped all the old horror film staples while at the same time parodying all the dreadful 80s teen shows was excellent. To maintain that over more than 200 hours of TV while never dropping the quality or humour was miraculous and was something most directors couldn't manage.

Just watchig Firefly for the first time at the moment and he's managed the same thing in a different genre, why the pillocks at Fox canned it mid series is beyond me. George Lucas should have got Joss Whedon on board to do the character development and dialogue on the new Star Wars films, Christ Whedon managed to make Buzz and Woody seem human in his directorial debut while the supposedly fantastic Lucas managed to make Alec Guinness, Harrison Ford, Samuel L Jackson, Liam Neeson and Ewen McGregor seem wooden.

Spike was the best!

I didn't know that he wasn't actually Brit till saw his profile...did a good job on the show.

You never figured out that he was American by his Dick van Dyke accent and his professed love for Man Utd?

What show were you watching? :p

Firefly was excellent, yet another good TV show canceled by executive idiots

Everyone should buy the Firefly Dvd.
 
I agree that Firefly is fecking great. But it is nowhere near the same awesome level as Buffy and Angel. If it would have ran for more than just one season it would have had a shot, mind.

Completely agree. Buffy & Angel are the two greatest shows ever to grace our TV's. I have every season of both shows on DVD/VHS, I haven't watched them in a while though so I think a B&A marathon is called for :D
The best male character was Spike and the best female was Faith, they both kick ass :D

Yeah but you're a girl and these lads arent :confused:

I'm sure there was football on telly around the same time as these "Girly Shows" or just anything masculine?!
 
Buffy was amazing. Angel was a bit shit to be honest.

The thing with Buffy was that despite having one of the weirdest premises for a show I've ever heard off, it very rarely ever strayed from what made it: Witty dialogue and intriguing characters.

Spike was legend.

Brilliant Musical Episode as well.

 
I loved Buffy, but never really watched Angel. I started watching it in it's fifth and final series because Spike joined the cast and Buffy finished. Turns out I loved Angel, too.

Firefly and Serenity were both awesome, as well, and if anything I preferred them. Although almost every character in Firefly was actually just a remodelled Buffy/Angel character.

Mal = Angel
Jayne = Spike
Kaylee = Early Willow, before she went all witchy and fecked up.
Zoe = Very Buffy-esque.
Wash = Couldn't be more like Xander if he tried. I suspect he was just made up of old scripts that they didn't assign to Xander.

big hmm on that...

See post 8, you're obviously one of the ones who doesn't get it. I know the premise of a programme based on a vampire fighting cheerleader looks lame while the name Buffy doesn't exactly help but that's all part of the joke. If you can look beyond that then the shows themselves knock 95% of the dross on TV into a cocked hat and were certainly no camper than the likes of Heroes which people seem to rave over.
 
I like Sarah Michelle Gellar, she wouldn't even have to get within 50 miles of me to try to get my cock out, it would already be out waiting, expectantly, delicately throbbing in anticipation for her arrival.

Buffy in the buff for me is a big thumbs up!

:confused: ummmmm....just giving my opinion on the shows. They do happen to be my favourite TV shows of all time but if either of them was on the same time as a Man Utd match, of course I'd be watching the match :D

Red Hand Devil is probably so insecure in his masculinity that he only watches "macho" TV shows

Thought only women watched Buffy - thats the general consensus!

Not having a dig at you sweetheart and of course you'd be watchin your beloved United if it was on the same time, i just find it weird that some blokes actually watch Buffy and Angel etc.. as they're very girly'ish programmes.

Its no Lost Boys I can tell you that!

But as they say "Horses for courses" :cool:

I was in a mischievous mood yest, so enjoy your programmes and pay no attention to cheeky monkeys like me ;)
 
Meh.

As for only girls watching Buffy?

I guess you weren't a teenage boy when it was showing.

No I wasnt Ekeke but I gather you were mate?

To be honest I wouldnt fancy watchin Buffy with a boner and the family in the same room. I guess thats why men have the "Wank Bank" to save those saucey moments for later when the girlfriend comes around and gets lashed out of it..........

"oh yeah.....you've been a naughty girl Buffy.... big daddy has to punish you.......oh yeah......." :lol::cool::angel:
