I’m a child of the TV generation, and in the 50+ years since I started I’ve watched more than my share. I can say without hesitation that my favorite TV show of all time was 1990s era Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Though I didn’t fit the target demographic, when it was in production I was a die-hard viewer, and even held commercial-break telephone calls with a friend who at the time was similarly enthusiastic. When the series ended and went into syndication (twice a day in my area) I watched it over and over, being able to go through the entire seven year series in a little over a month. Then came the era of DVDs and I got them all and have watched the series through many more times.
Somewhere along the way I took a break. It may be more than 10 years since I’ve watched it though. I guess it was inevitable that in this unending lockdown and associated vegification I would turn once again to rewatching this wonderful series. I quickly went through the short Season 1, which was never my favorite, but ended up enjoying it more than I remember. I then plowed through Seasons 2 and 3 in the course of a few days. Season 2 was always my favorite. They didn’t quite grab me as hard as they did in the past, but it is still a great show. I’m about to start on Season 4 and may end up finishing the entire series by the new year. It’s great to have DVDs so you can watch old favorites at any time.
