Buffy the Vampire Slayer
It's kind of a travesty that for as long as I've had this blog, this is when I'm starting my official blog re-watch of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." It is my favorite show of all-time. It engendered in me a life long love of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I re-watch it usually once very year, but this will be the first time since 2018, so I'm kind of excited to do this.
The pilot episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" premiered on March 10, 1997. It was a mid-season replacement on the WB. It is based on the movie of the same name starring Kristy Swanson that came out in 1992. You don't need to have seen the movie to enjoy this show and I would really suggest you don't watch it. It's unnecessary. The first season of "Buffy" is an interesting. It's the weakest of the show's seven seasons, for sure. If you wanted to get through it quickly to get to the vastly superior season 2, there are like four episodes from this season you could watch and be fine, but I feel like there is a lot of charm here and the bones of the season are good. When the first season started airing, all the episodes were completely in the can, so there was no way for them to make any adjustments for what was working and what was working until season 2, which is why the second season is so great. I hope some of you take this journey with me, because I'm extremely started to go on it with you.
