I know fans of these shows must be on these boards somewhere! Let's discuss these shows and their ultimate awesomeness! (Except for that period on Angel where everything went down the drain.:rotfl2: )
I enjoyed all three shows, with Angel being my least favorite. The writing never seemed as sharp as the writing on the other two shows, although it was certainly well-acted.
Does anyone else have any thoughts/opinions/etc. on the shows? Also, is anybody reading the Buffy Season 8 comics? I haven't read any of them, but should I be?
 
LOVE these shows! I have FireFly on DVD and I haven't seen much of it yet though.
 
You'll definitely like Firefly, although when I watch it, I'm always a bit bitter in the back of my mind that it got canceled so soon. Stupid Fox! They cancel everything worth watching!
 
Ah, the good old days when Tuesday nights were spent watching Buffy and Angel, the WB still existed and the Gilmore Girls were still watchable.

I'm still in mourning for Buffy. My favorite show ever, and I can't wait to share it with DD.
 

I started watching Angel (really just because he's so hot) and then I really got into the fantasy aspect of the show. Someone on here said I should watch Buffy- and I'm loving that too! My daughter bought me FireFly on DVD for Mother's Day and I just haven't had time to sit and watch.
 
Never could get into Buiffy or Angel but loved Firefly once I got to see more than one episode.

Before it hit DVD I has only seen one of the more confusing episodes and really couldn't understand what was going on when I saw what looked like a Western and then saw the Firefly ship. All makes sense once you see the first episode.
 
Buffy is my absolute favorite tv show of all-time! I agree -still in mourning that it's off the air. Have you seen "Once More with Feeling" at the theater yet? They are doing the tour at various theaters - we went a few months back and it was so much fun. My favorite episode of Angel was "Smiletime". All my friends knew not to call me on Tuesdays when Buffy was on.

I have collected the first arc of Season 8, but to be honest with you, it's hard for me to follow - I'm not a comic person, so it's a little difficult.
 
I loved all three shows and yes I'm still in morning. My DH laughs because I was so excited when Captain Tight Pants was announced to be on Desperate Houswives this season. I have all the seasons of all three shows on DVD and will put them on when I crafting.

Does anyone else start watching new shows because actors from these are on them? Thats why I started watching HIMYM and Bones and we now love them both. I also can't wait for Without a Trace to start up with James on it. LOL
 
Started out watching Buffy - but not until Season 4 or so. Got all the seasons on DVD (except 7) and love the first 3 years. Whenever I'm at home for a sick day or just a lazy weekend I pop Buffy in and have it on in the background while I clean or cook.

Angel - loved angel - watched from the beginning. HATED the last Season.

Firefly - didn't watch it on TV :headache: but own the DVD now and love love love the show. If you have Direct TV and HD they run an episode on Saturday nights. It is so pretty in HD. Also own TBD Movie in the original edition and the new collectors edition.

Yes. We only watched Bones because it had David on it. It took me half a season to not refer to him as Angel.

I was going to take Desperate Housewives off my Tivo this year as last season sucked - but then Nathan got on board and now it will stay. :)

I was a huge Buffy and Angel fan. I never caught Firefly before they took it off the air, but I liked the movie. I plan to rent the season on DVD one day when I have time. Whedon is such an amazing writer. And I loved Angel, but they jumped the shark the minute Connor was introduced. I really hated the way they pushed Cordy out.

How true.

When my family gets nostalgic for BTVS, we take out the DVD box sets and watch our favorite episodes. It's a crime that the show never received any Emmy nominations - especially for writing.

Since I am in internet anonymity I will admit to going to a Buffy/Angel/Firefly convention. It was a day before Nicholas Brendan went into rehab. I'm pretty sure he left straight from there to rehab since he had his sponsor with him the whole time.
 
Firefly :thumbsup2

Buffy/Angel :crazy2:

Does this mean I actually have to WANT Desparate Housewives to stay successful? Drat. :headache:
 
I love Buffy and Angel!! My best friend at the time was also a huge fan. For Buffy's final episode we threw a huge party and kicked anyone out that uttered a word during the show. I have all the dvds and I should really get back to watching them.

And I loved Angel, but they jumped the shark the minute Connor was introduced.
Yes. I didn't watch that season because Conner just made me want to rip my hair out!

Oh, I also saw James in concert a few years ago. It was awesome!

I like Bones and HIMYM for the same reason. Did you know Jayne (Adam Baldwin) is going to be on the new series Chuck? I really hope that show is good, although it will probably get canceled, because critics love it!

Angel - loved angel - watched from the beginning. HATED the last Season.

I didn't think the last season of Angel was as bad as Season 4. Season 4 had EvilCordy and too much Connor. At least Season 5 had Spike!

Yes. We only watched Bones because it had David on it. It took me half a season to not refer to him as Angel.

Yep, I have to watch Desperate Housewives again, even though I stopped watching in the middle of last season. Go Captain Tightpants!

Connor was lame. And boring. I like to think that Joss had nothing to do with the creation of that character. it makes me feel better.

I think it did get a few Emmy nominations (Hush was nominated, and I think the makeup crew got a nod too) but no wins. There's a story going around that "Once More, With Feeling" was supposed to be submitted, but everyone thought someone else had sent it in for consideration and it never got entered. It's a shame, because it would have blown away the competition!
Ha!

Thanks for the comic input. I'm not a comic book person either. I loved "Smile Time" too! Self esteem is for everybody! :rotfl: I haven't been to a "Once More With Feeling" theater performance, but I'd love to go sometime.



Who here has the "Once More with Feeling" CD?
 
Yes. I didn't watch that season because Conner just made me want to rip my hair out!
!
I watched the whole season. I think I've been scarred for life. Oh, the boringness! I used to complain about Dawn on Buffy, but she's awesome compared to the Connor horror!
 
Has anyone seen Waitress? Captain Tightpants was so good in that.

I'm really bad I haven't gone through all the new shows to see which ones have the best cast. LOL so far i've picked based on the premise of the show but I really need to get my cast choices made too.

Does anyone listen to Common Rotation? Adam Bushes band? I really like there cds. I have James' one from ghost of the Robot and Anthonys solo one too but Common Rotation is the best so far.
