“Buffy is an extremely silly name and a TV show about vampires sounds dreadful.” If those are your thoughts when reading this, you think along the same lines I did for more than ten years after the show first aired. It sounded silly and stupid and not at all like something I would enjoy, even after I discovered that it was created by Joss Whedon, whose other work I enjoy with reckless abandon. But after repeated ringing endorsements by a good friend whose taste in pop culture I sometimes trust, I finally caved and saw the first season of the show. About a month later, I had seen all 144 episodes. Buffy 1-7 dvd box set Summers, played with varying success by Sarah Michelle Gellar, is the vampire slayer, a girl destined in every generation to fight the forces of evil (and vampires of course). Joss Whedon said he came up with the idea for the show when realizing that in horror movies, the pretty blond girl is always helpless and killed by the big bad or rescued by a dashing young hero, and thinking what would happen, if she actually turned out to be the most dangerous one around - but fighting for good, of course. The show he made from that idea is a nice mix between horror, drama and comedy, with generally good story lines and some truly good episodes. Sure, in its seven seasons not everything is perfect, but you actually start to care about the characters enough to come back every episode to see what happens to them.
