Reviews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV Show

Pop Matters Yet, when given the opportunity to purchase the show this past year, NBC, CBS, and ABC all passed for fear that Buffy was a cult hit that wouldn't appeal to a "broad" audience. Perhaps, but its consistent excellence makes it worthy of a larger audience than UPN can provide. Michael Abernethy

DVD Town What’s so special about a show that chronicles the exploits of a young girl who goes around killing monsters? Like anything else, "Buffy" would be boring if it adhered closely to a one-line marketing pitch. The genius of the show lies in series creator/executive producer Joss Whedon’s wonderful imagination. Yunda Eddie Feng

DVD Verdict Based on the 1992 film of the same name, Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues to be, week in and week out, the best written show on television. Now, I will admit that is not always evident with the first season's batch of episodes, but to fair the show was trying to find its footing. Harold Gervais

Reel Regardless, the episodes presented here stand on their own. Buffy the Vampire Slayer may be one of the strongest programs to be found on TV today, and this DVD collection reminds us that it started out that way as well. You might say it's the "chosen one" of modern genre television. Scott Collura
