Aww, I didn't say ya did. I'm tired of people telling me how great buffy is when
really all it is, when, quite frankly, there's a dozen shows on tv that easily beat
it. Popularity does NOT equal quality

ymmv, but its nothing more than a show about pretty people being angsty. Throw a cast
slightly less attractive into the show with less sexy clothing, cut the
oh-so-dangerous "lesbian" thing (that's there only to attract the panting fan-bois)
and you'd have a show that was cancelled after the 2nd season.
of course, that's just my opinion. :)
