So in terms of iconic and groundbreaking shows that changed television forever it was All in the Family in the 70s, Hill Street Blues, The Cosby Show and Miami Vice in the 80s, Seinfeld in the early to mid 90s so I guess it'd be Buffy and Sopranos in the late 90s early 2000s?
Buffy is and was one of the best shows on TV. It appealed to me so much because of the fact that the show actually got better as the seasons progressed. Season 6 was one of the best in my opinion and the characters grew with the show and it showed them dealing with real life turmoils even when their lives were surrounded by demons and vampires etc. The episode "the body" was one of the best in my opinion.
***** Agree with that, Angel was a far superior show, everything from the message, to the story lines (except for the Connor one) even the fight scenes... And I think Wesley's character development on Angel is the greatest of any character in TV history.
***** "The show dropped substantially in quality after season 3, with the exception of 6." I strongly disagree. I thought season 5 was the best season of Buffy. Season 2 and 3, especially 2, had so many mediocre episodes. Season 1 is comfortably the worst season.
Sam Heald I used to think the high school seasons were the best, but I've come to appreciate the later ones more. (With the exception of 7 which I'll always hate). Season 4 doesn't have a good main story arc but it has so many of the great independent episodes that it's one of my favourites. (Hush, Something Blue, Fear, Itself etc) Plus I was personally glad to see the back of all the Angel melodrama. Season 1 has one of the most iconic villains but it's probably my second least favourite. 2 at least had Spike and Dru to make it entertaining. 5 is also a brilliant season and the Glory storyline is more interesting than the Initiative one from S4. I also like Dawn even though that's an unpopular opinion. One of the best twists ever.
Charizarzar Oh wow, I'm also one of few that likes Dawn :) I mean, she isn't my favourite, and she can be grating and used as a bad plot device in some individual episodes (like Wrecked), but I still overall appreciate her character a lot. I can actually relate to her in a lot of ways.
***** I liked season 6 too though I'm not sure the nerd trio made a good group of villains. Season 2 is the best ever though - the whole Angel/Buffy development took my breath away every week. The inclusion of Tara (boring) and Dawn (very irritating) in the latter seasons did not improve the show.
I agree! I'm watching right now. I don't know any other guys who like this show as much as I do. The spinoff Angle was much better during the first few seasons when they had Doyal & before they had the green dude.
Not only did JW create the most amazing series, but he selected the best crop of young actors he could have picked to honor his vision. They believed in their characters so much, worked so hard to bring them to life in ways we would relate to them and root for them, care for them, invest in them, even be heartbroken by them. This series is legendary. It changed television, really. And it warms my heart how classy and uplifting they all are of one another on the set.
Alyson actually did an interview on Watch What Happens Live and she talked about how SMG was kinda over it after 3 seasons.. or something along those lines. It made me sad to watch. Look it up on here.
I think the comment was that SMG was over the comic con fan craze. She never really got into all that. Plus, she worked nearly twice as long as the rest of the cast and she was exhausted. I think she truly loved the cast and being on the show- it was just easier for the rest of them to do their job and make appearances and she was stuck on set all the time. I can recall her saying in an interview that she would likely never do an hour long series again, because she wanted a family and a life, lol.
Yeah it wasn't that she was "over it", but that she was just worn out by it. Exhausted. And as much as I love the show, at least it ended while it was still on a high instead of dragging out till it died.
@@DustinGuillotte SMG is was more frustrated of how overwhelming this show had been in her career and life. She was the most intermixed member of the cast, with the show. She knew a lot, Joss shared a lot of his ideas with her and all. If you follow her in real life, she is a bit easygoing, not someone who'd constantly try to live up to a certain role. After about season 4, her acting became a bit dry, save for necessary, deep episodes like The Body(I think it was her best performance in the show) and the show was tired near the end. Still, best television series ever, and of the best examples of modern fiction.
i can imagine sarah as Cordi, because she is a good actress and very pretty. but i cannot imagine anyone else as Buffy. so glad the role was finally given to Sarah! its hard to imagine if the show would be as successful ass it is if Sarah wasnt Buffy.
I was a father in the 90's. All four of my kids were born in that decade. But we were fans of BTVS and SMG. In fact my wife and I keep tabs on her and Freddie and hope they stay together. You know how Hollywood marriages are.
Simply the greatest show in TV history. This special makes me miss it all the more. Am re-watching it right now on DVD (am through season 4- This Years Girl) and feeling the love all over again.
DoLLfaCe x RED Watch (& program your DVR) to Channel INSPL (Ch. 172 for me) & there's loads of Buffy episodes, in order. Last week the final series episode ended & now they are beginning from the very 1st one again. Also FXHD has a few episodes but they are once a week, or so & the order gets confusing. You can always get the series DVDs….Love Buffy,too. Probably wouldn't have had TrueBlood w/out it !
I was so upset in season 7 i believe. When Spike got his soul and went crazy. I loved him SO MUCH as a character! He is my favorite so matter what lol. His past is so sad, even before we was a vamp like when he wrote poetry and told that girl he was in love with her. Then she told him how she REALLY DIDNT love him back. Sound familiar? He also confessed his love to Buffy and she called him awful names and yelled at him. I felt so bad for him! He started on the show as a vampire who wanted to get Angelus back on their side to destroy the world or whatever. But eventually, he joins the Scoobies and they slay monsters. He became a better person over time and he fell for Buffy. He wanted to be better for her and he genuinely cared for her. He went to get his soul back for her! And suffered for her!! So, when she calls him disgusting it really hurts me because I know how much he truly loves her. He's been there threw so much and its sad to see. This is also why I like Spuffy more that Bangel. Angel lost his soul and wanted to kill her and he LIKED it. He was only good to her when he had a soul. Spike loved her before he got his soul back. He only got his soul back for Buffy bc he thought she wanted that.
Az Butterfield "..Anya, who is a demon that JUST HAPPENS to be hundreds of years old."Gee wizz, the way the reporter says this it's like an absolute surprise..
This show is one of my favorites I like the comics/Graphic novels as well. I thought James Marsters was the best actor on the series not taking anything away from the others but he really had me convinced he was english. His accent and words fitted the lower class english peoples language pretty well I thought.
matthew mann I'm from East London and I didn't believe his crappy accent for a second, especially seeing as my dad's a cockney cabbie. Regardless, he is a great actor.
BTVS, one of the most iconic shows ive ever encountered. I own all seven season on dvd. I have almost all of the comics and the monster guides. I even have the Angel episodes with Buffy in them. Buffy for me, when i was kid was one of the most fascinating shows of its time. When everyone my age was watching cartoon network, zoe 101 and that's so raven i was stuck on Buffy from reruns. I watched the reruns in the morning before school and in the afternoon after school. I remember getting the first three season on dvd for christmas and finally watched every episode in order, after that i got the last four. I loved it. I actually didnt know it was over until i finished the 6th season and Googled it. The show was so ahead of its time that it didnt feel like 2003 when i watched it. It felt like 2006 like the time i was watching it. My favorite seasons are the High School Season because at that time i was starting to relate to them. I rewatch them now and realize the later seasons are just as good in their own ways. I really liked Cordelia, i feel like she was so me and then during school i would talk like her and people would always make fun of me and be like you're so valley and i was like, duh. Buffy is timeless and the drama was real and the scares were effortless and the tones were majestic and everything even the low budget scenes were still quality. BTVS forever.
That's awesome! I'm glad the newer generation appreciates it! I'm a die hard Buffy fan too. It showed when I was in high school and I would record them on vhs so I could own them! I'm so glad shows are in dvd and we have netflix and hulu now! I'm proud to say I was there from the very first episode that aired. It will always be one of my all time favorite shows!
Oh wow you bringing up Cartoon network, Zoey 101 and That's so Raven takes me back to my 2000s childhood lol. I used to kill Kim Possible, Proud Family, Even Stevens, Sister, Sister, Smart Guy, Power Rangers, Kenan and Kel, All That, Drake and Josh, 7th Heaven, Moesha, Charmed etc ah, the good old days.
I really liked Dawn, she reminded me of my younger sister. Her character was really well-developed in the last season, and the scene between her and Xander when he say that he sees her is one of my favourites across the entire series. I feel bad for all the hate Michelle gets... she was only a kid at the time after all!
Dawn was the annoying little sibling but HEY that was the point lol. I don’t hate her but she wasn’t my first favorite. Lol. Spike was. And then Giles then Willow
I was in high school when this came out. I grew up with it so its the only show I am the most attached to. I hope someday in the near future their will be some kind of reunion special episode or movie something. I like to see to something after season 7.
I remember watching a few season three episodes, OMWF, and Chosen when I was in school but I wasn't a die-hard fan now I am I was 11-12 when the series premiered and 18 when it ended
Bryan Snyder that would be so awesome, I did heard something about a buffy movie but didn't know if it was a prank. so many years now and I still watch buffy the vampire slayer,
I wish Buffy had more recognition from the Emmys. I think an administrative error prevented 'Once More, With Feeling' from being nominated. What you have to understand about the Emmys though is it's not like the Oscars. Once you get nominated at the Emmys you have a level playing field and every nominee is judged on their respective area. Take for instance the year Christoph Beck won a scoring Emmy for 'Becoming, Part 2'. He had to submit his score for the episode on manuscript paper and the music branch of the television academy had to carefully judge it along with his fellow nominees. At the Oscars that doesn't happen partly because the judging has to be over two weeks not a couple of months
This show is metaphor upon metaphor. They're so many layers to the characters that even when the plot seems bland you understand how the characters feel and why the act how they do.
What is amazing is that I had seen the movie, but was turned on to the show by my then 67 year old father. While the WB might have been going for a youth audience, this show transcended that. I watched my first episode at 38 and was quickly hooked. Interestingly while I very much like the Buffy character, she was way down on my list. Spike and Anya vie for #1, Willow and Xander for #2, and then Buffy and Giles for #3.
GiRayne I have to say, the interaction between Angel and Spike was generally great - especially when they brought the Spike character back in the Angel series.
@@brandonlambert825 I don't disagree with the greatness but I'd argue that the supportings from older shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Ironside, Seinfeld, Frasier, Sanford and Son, Martin, Everybody Loves Raymond, Magnum PI and The Rockford Files and more recent ones like Monk, Burn Notice, The Middle and Blue Bloods had some pretty amazing supportings to go with a strong star too.
Don't get all the hatred towards Dawn. Michelle Trachtenberg was a good addition to the show. Buffy's mom couldn't be around for too long because that would have been weird so in comes Dawn. I loved her relationship with Buffy and the protective side she brought out in Spike and her relationship with Xander, Willow and Tara. To think that she was only 14 years old and handled herself so well.
It's mostly because Dawn's a character people love to hate. She was kinda designed to be annoying to people. What I always thought was interesting about her was that when she first appeared on the show, it felt like she was a bad "original character" that a fanfiction writer creates that's clearly a self-insert, given the fact that she's the protagonist's sister, she shows up out of nowhere, people familiar with the show have no idea who she is, etc. I think Joss Whedon may have been taking a stab at fanfic writers when creating Dawn.
I completely agree. I feel like people do forget that, at the end of the day, Dawn's character is still just a child. You can see that she is just very lonely and emotionally neglected. Any person who has an intelligent older sibling can relate to feeling overshadowed, least of all one who's a vampire slayer. The fact that she is so sheltered and prevented from growing up means Dawn has no choice to behave like a child.
Yeah I agree. Of course dawn is a little annoying, she’s like 15 and she has to deal with all her memories being fake, her mom’s death, her sisters death and legacy, etc.
For episodic drama, great characters, great writing, who needs an Emmy to validate quality when you are making TV history every week? In Buffy Joss Whedon created an icon.
I am so attached to this show that when I entered college back in 2002, I asked my new friends to call me BS which is short for Buffy Summers instead of my real name...
+Sapphire Evans I actually did the same when I was 7/8, instead I actually asked everyone to call me Buffy instead. Even now, 19 years later, when my old schoolmates see me out,they bring it up, haha.
Well friends let me tell you a little story. I'm 72 years old and I didn't discover Buffy till about 6 months ago. Had never seen one episode did not I see the movie. So I came home one night with the TV on just when Buffy says she irons her jeans she's evil. From that moment on I watch 2 hours of it a day on Comet TV. I'm a super fan.
Exactly! She played a major role especially during season 5 and 6 when they made this. Well at least I'll never forget her and I'm sure a lot of people are with me on that one ;-)
Even though I will agree with you that there needed to be a proper ending for Angel, I think that the way they ended it was fitting to the character. That he will keep fighting forever. Because let's face it, even if he killed all the demons, all the vampires and all the monsters, even Spike, there would still be one alive. Himself. So his crusade is neverending, and that's why the ending to his series was fitting.
I feel like Seth Green is the perfect example of how a guy doesn't need to be tall to be hot & also that gingers can be hot. I hear so much crap about these two things and I am like okay, explain to me how Seth Green is so hot then!!!
Shut up Dawn. James Marsters was talking about the one where Willow was being kept hostage in the Mayor's office and killed a vamp with a floating pencil. Not the broken pencil at the graveyard with Buffy and Giles. No, you don't know your Buffy.
@Kefou Kefak but that is the scene that she confused. It was when Willow killed the vamp at the Mayor's office. Why are you saying she's jealous of that?
One of the best fantasy television series in history . 1. Buffy 2.Angel 3.The Twilight Zone 4.Star Trek 5.Xena 6.The Outer Limits 7.Smallville 8.Dr.Who
I can't believe I didn't watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer for awhile because the girl who played Buffy wasn't the original. smh I LOVE Sarah Michelle Geller - from the first episode to the last. (my sister talked me into watching) I didn't see it from the beginning, but caught it on reruns. Yay!!
What! I wanted her back now! Today, I love the show, watched every episode was and still on team Bangel. Even though he stupidly leaves! Why!!! I WANT BUFFY BACK. ;(
Every time they say high school is like a horror movie, I can't even imagine that. I started a business in 10th grade, knew most of the people in the school, and had a pretty entertaining life outside school. I can't relate, but witnessed it being that way for alot of my classmates at the time.
This series was a milestone - TV today owes boatloads to this series

You right
***** .what do you mean
***** oh yeah your right
I wish Buffy had more recognition from the Emmys. I think an administrative error prevented 'Once More, With Feeling' from being nominated. What you have to understand about the Emmys though is it's not like the Oscars. Once you get nominated at the Emmys you have a level playing field and every nominee is judged on their respective area. Take for instance the year Christoph Beck won a scoring Emmy for 'Becoming, Part 2'. He had to submit his score for the episode on manuscript paper and the music branch of the television academy had to carefully judge it along with his fellow nominees. At the Oscars that doesn't happen partly because the judging has to be over two weeks not a couple of months
This show is metaphor upon metaphor. They're so many layers to the characters that even when the plot seems bland you understand how the characters feel and why the act how they do.
Spike is the perfect example of this!
What is amazing is that I had seen the movie, but was turned on to the show by my then 67 year old father. While the WB might have been going for a youth audience, this show transcended that. I watched my first episode at 38 and was quickly hooked. Interestingly while I very much like the Buffy character, she was way down on my list. Spike and Anya vie for #1, Willow and Xander for #2, and then Buffy and Giles for #3.

I have to say, the interaction between Angel and Spike was generally great - especially when they brought the Spike character back in the Angel series.
Buffy had the strongest supporting cast I've ever seen both characters and the actors portraying them
@@brandonlambert825 I don't disagree with the greatness but I'd argue that the supportings from older shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Ironside, Seinfeld, Frasier, Sanford and Son, Martin, Everybody Loves Raymond, Magnum PI and The Rockford Files and more recent ones like Monk, Burn Notice, The Middle and Blue Bloods had some pretty amazing supportings to go with a strong star too.
I LOVE BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER! I have all the DVD's, maybe except for the last season.
so sad when it eneded.. so many questions.. I know they have a comic book but still
Dang, James Marsters's natural accent is hot, too.
Ahhh Spike...
Don't get all the hatred towards Dawn. Michelle Trachtenberg was a good addition to the show. Buffy's mom couldn't be around for too long because that would have been weird so in comes Dawn. I loved her relationship with Buffy and the protective side she brought out in Spike and her relationship with Xander, Willow and Tara. To think that she was only 14 years old and handled herself so well.
It's mostly because Dawn's a character people love to hate. She was kinda designed to be annoying to people. What I always thought was interesting about her was that when she first appeared on the show, it felt like she was a bad "original character" that a fanfiction writer creates that's clearly a self-insert, given the fact that she's the protagonist's sister, she shows up out of nowhere, people familiar with the show have no idea who she is, etc. I think Joss Whedon may have been taking a stab at fanfic writers when creating Dawn.
@ Paola Evangelista. I was taken aback the first time I saw Dawn. But I loved what she brought to the table and the dynamics with Buffy and Spike
I completely agree. I feel like people do forget that, at the end of the day, Dawn's character is still just a child. You can see that she is just very lonely and emotionally neglected. Any person who has an intelligent older sibling can relate to feeling overshadowed, least of all one who's a vampire slayer. The fact that she is so sheltered and prevented from growing up means Dawn has no choice to behave like a child.
Yeah I agree. Of course dawn is a little annoying, she’s like 15 and she has to deal with all her memories being fake, her mom’s death, her sisters death and legacy, etc.
For episodic drama, great characters, great writing, who needs an Emmy to validate quality when you are making TV history every week? In Buffy Joss Whedon created an icon.
"No she's really dead. Like the worms are eating her brains. She's decomposing!" oh James Marsters :D
I am so attached to this show that when I entered college back in 2002, I asked my new friends to call me BS which is short for Buffy Summers instead of my real name...
And they told you; that's such BS? Nahh, just kidding 😂
+Sapphire Evans I actually did the same when I was 7/8, instead I actually asked everyone to call me Buffy instead. Even now, 19 years later, when my old schoolmates see me out,they bring it up, haha.
Well friends let me tell you a little story. I'm 72 years old and I didn't discover Buffy till about 6 months ago. Had never seen one episode did not I see the movie. So I came home one night with the TV on just when Buffy says she irons her jeans she's evil. From that moment on I watch 2 hours of it a day on Comet TV. I'm a super fan.
I have all of the original buffy and angle on dvd loving this tho🙂
i wanna see it in 4k
Love love love this! Remember seeing it when it first aired and have always wanted to see it again.
"Buffy's Back" aww jesus. almost had a mini heartattack there. thanks for the upload!
Exactly! She played a major role especially during season 5 and 6 when they made this. Well at least I'll never forget her and I'm sure a lot of people are with me on that one ;-)
I still Love this Show...
Even though I will agree with you that there needed to be a proper ending for Angel, I think that the way they ended it was fitting to the character. That he will keep fighting forever. Because let's face it, even if he killed all the demons, all the vampires and all the monsters, even Spike, there would still be one alive. Himself. So his crusade is neverending, and that's why the ending to his series was fitting.
And Spike is sooo Cute ! !!
And Angel is also kinda Cute, but i think that Spike is Better :)
But i love them both ! !! :)
I feel like Seth Green is the perfect example of how a guy doesn't need to be tall to be hot & also that gingers can be hot. I hear so much crap about these two things and I am like okay, explain to me how Seth Green is so hot then!!!
First I heard of that
Whaaaaaat? I can't believe Ive never seen this!
Shut up Dawn. James Marsters was talking about the one where Willow was being kept hostage in the Mayor's office and killed a vamp with a floating pencil. Not the broken pencil at the graveyard with Buffy and Giles. No, you don't know your Buffy.
@Kefou Kefak excuse me? She's just calling it like it is
@Kefou Kefak but that is the scene that she confused. It was when Willow killed the vamp at the Mayor's office. Why are you saying she's jealous of that?
Vampire diaries twilight teenwolf walking dead so many shows and movies and they all owe it buffy

1. Buffy

Buffy and Angel are my favorite TV show
10:31 my favorite part! and thank you, this was one that I hadn't scene. Appreciation!
I forgot how chiseled and pretty-boy David looked in the beginning. XD
I love Buffy the vampire slayer I got every episode laptop on my laptop and I am currently downloading all the angel episodes too
Love buffy love sarah🖤🖤🖤🖤
BEST TV SHOW EVER… LOVE BUFFY!!! 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️BUFFY SUMMERS FOREVER
joss is a genius. i love buffy and angel the best tv shows ever!
Really? No one mentioned Amber (Tara)?
No mention of Willow being gay either so maybe they just didn't want to talk about that stuff?
james marsters is beautiful
Best time ever . Childhood . I watch it when I was 13-.. years old . It was 2003 .
And now i see war in my Ukraine..
want return back in time
I can't believe I didn't watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer for awhile because the girl who played Buffy wasn't the original. smh I LOVE Sarah Michelle Geller - from the first episode to the last. (my sister talked me into watching) I didn't see it from the beginning, but caught it on reruns. Yay!!
when Nick Brendon says Xander is just like himself.
No Amber Benson. Tara was part of the Scooby Gang. :(
For everyone dreaming about a new series, Buffy is still going on, in comic form! So support the Buffyverse and buy the comics, they're in season 9.
What! I wanted her back now! Today, I love the show, watched every episode was and still on team Bangel. Even though he stupidly leaves! Why!!! I WANT BUFFY BACK. ;(
i do marathons all the time lol got all 7 season dvds haha
I loved this show so much
Thank you for posting this vid :)
Buffy was way before they time I wish they come out with reboot
In retrospect, Joss bitching about writers being treated poorly by higher ups, is both laughable, and hypocritical.
Buffy is a Super Hero!
100,000 likes TV so Buffy the Vampire Slayer
23:11 - James Marsters nails it. This is why Buffy was such a great show.
Best show in the history of television.
Every time they say high school is like a horror movie, I can't even imagine that. I started a business in 10th grade, knew most of the people in the school, and had a pretty entertaining life outside school. I can't relate, but witnessed it being that way for alot of my classmates at the time.
Angel still has that dark look in his eyes 😂
Holy shit, the algorithm was perfectly on time to recommend me this
Me encano este especial, muy bueno, trae muchos recuerdos, de ucando habia cosas buena en el cable :,)
it's so weird hearing james talk without his accent:p
Wow, awesome upload.
My favorite show ever 🤩
Me too. And Angel as well.
i could not back a buffy without joss
I love Buffy
I just noticed the Scooby Doo toy on Dawn's bed:)
Tutti voi siete dei. Grandi attori
did anyone notice how Michelle Trachtenberg was wrong...James was referring to the episode where Willows floats the pencil not the SAT episode
This is great
i just loved that Michelle "knows her Buffy" super awesome hahaha
I'm so glad The Watcher didn't happen, that way he came back for Buffy, its not Buffy without Giles, sorry.
we think that there should and there could be more new episodes with the original cast!
well i learned of a new show called the watcher,nice
The comic that continued this is ok, it just doesn't have the wacky episodes like beer bad, or the wish.
Too bad they didn't interview Amber Benson, that would have been awesome !
