Buffy? Charmed? Or neither?

It is a huge shame that Firefly didn't even last a season.

It failed because Fox didn't give it a chance. The show couldn't gain viewers when the episodes were shown out of order. The first episode shown on Fox was like episode 14. How is a viewer supposed to make any sense out of the show when they do that?

Buffy all the way! I never thought I'd be caught dead watching that show, but I got hooked back in college when season three was originally airing. Once the whole Faith/Mayor arc started heating up I was a fan for life.

Remeber that Joss and Co. have been writing an official season 8 as a Dark Horse comic book. It's hit and miss, but I love that the Big Bad for season 8 is named TWILIGHT (no spoliers from me!)

ANd for the Buffy geeks like me ... I actually have a FRAY #1 (future slayer) signed by Joss Whedon and Karl Moline (artist) framed along with a sketch of Melaka Fray signed by Moline. Probably not worth a ton, but it's one of my favorite peices of comic book memoribilia I own

Wow.. Mega jealous here! Fray ROCKS!

And ditto what everyone else is saying about Firefly/Serenity.

It was utter INSANITY! We were robbed of a really great series.

Yes, the shame is on Fox and how they treated the series. Why would they do something that stupid?

A bit off the main topic but....

If you like the writing for BtVS you'll love Firefly... another Joss Whedon creation. The powers-that-be really failed to promote this show and it was canceled after just 11 episodes. Fox didn't even air the episodes in their intended order. Hellooo? I didn't even see it when it was airing. My mother discovered it and bought the DVD set. AWESOME show! Also check out Serenity (movie). The show got canceled but later they turned around and made a movie. What kinda sense does that make?! They haven't even made a BtVS movie! Anyway, if you love Nathan Fillion (Castle), you'll love him in Firefly/Serenity! He even dressed up as his Firefly character on Castle last year for Halloween. Priceless! Great scene to watch.

ummm yes there is, Buffy was a movie before it was on TV. I've got every season of Buffy in our netflix and the movie as well.
and YES Firefly was an AWESOME series...it's also in our netflix, so is Serenity. We aren't big Castle fans but we loved Nathan (and Adam Baldwin) in Firefly & Serenity.

Now I need to rewatch Firefly! Another amazing series!

GO BROWNCOATS!

Love that song, I also notice that the music in Angel & Firefly is very similar.

Seriously......lame move.

Joss Whedon has done some great stuff but he seemed to miss the mark with the Dollhouse. The series had a silly name to start with.

Totally agree. I tried to like it but... it really sucked. I couldn't stand the guy that played the Paul Ballard character. He looked good and all but there was just something about the guy that turned me off. His acting maybe? I don't know. Bad show. Was excited to see Eliza Dushku (Faith on BtVS) again. Just wish this series had been better. Disappointing all the way around.

Right, but I meant with the TV cast. I hated that movie... which is why I didn't start watching the show it's first season. Somehow I stumbled on it during the second or third season. I want to see a movie with the original TV cast/actors.

 

[redlight]

I didn't see the movie Buffy till years after seeing the show.

The original Buffy movie was fantastic. One of m favorite cult classic movies. I always hoped they'd get Paul Reubens to show up on the series as an homage.

Got it I think a new movie would have been good too. We laugh at the original Buffy movie. lol

Buffy!

I have been rewatching all the episodes streamed on Netflix!

That is what I was going to say. They are all free on Instant watch if you have Netflix, that way you don't have to spend the money buying them.
