Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Series 1 - Complete DVD

Advantages: New packaging is sturdier than the original, first season of an excellent series
Disadvantages: Picture quality not quite as good as it could have been.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is/was a hugely successful American television series which ran for seven seasons and is now sorely missed by many (including myself). All seven seasons have been released on DVD not once, but twice. The first release was in fancy collectors editions, which is what I personally own, but the more recent releases are in a amray style case (normal style), which looks far plainer but is much cheaper. While I personally own the ...
...Buffy Summers would give anything to be a normal high school student, unfortunately that's something that's just not meant to be. For Buffy is the one girl in all the world, imbued with superhuman strength to aid her in her battles with vampires, demons and other supernatural nasties. She is the Slayer, scourge of the demon underworld, and she's moved to Sunnydale, which just happens to be sited slap, bang on the Hellmouth.....let the battles ensue.... ... Read review

Advantages: You can relive the Buffy experience over and over
Disadvantages: none at all

...amazing 7 year run of Buffy the Vampire slayer. For those of you who watched the Buffy Movie with Kirsty Swanson and think god not a series of it. The movie doesn't even touch the series. From the creator Joss Whedon comes an amazing Series with a cast including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Anthony Stewart Head and many more. Buffy The Vampire Slayer is based around the story of Buffy Summers, an until ...

Due to Buffys strange behaviour and ... Read review

Advantages: The scoobies friendship os a highlight. The 90's charm
Disadvantages: Looks a bit cheap, has some awful episodes...

Originally I owned Buffy seasons 2-7 in the bible packaging that they used before this cheaper one, however, since the Season one DVD in the older packaging was made quite some time ago, it was hard to find one in good condition (being a product perfectionist) so I decided to buy this packaging instead, they've done quite a good job with it too, it could have been horrendous, but it all blends well due to great colours. I suppose the plastic flippy ...
...all a bit insane. But Buffy dragging a metal clawed vampire out of the sewers so he can give directions to the mantis' house is quite amusing.... The Puppet Show: Yes, another insane on in which a human is resurrected as a carnival puppet in order to get revenge on the 9 demons who killed him......Cough, cough. Its not all bad though, the scene with the demon locking Giles in on of those head chopper offers is actually quite tense. Nightmares: ... Read review

Advantages: beginning of a legendry series
Disadvantages: kinda dated

...is a must have for buffy fans, it is the introductory piece to all things buffy. The first season tells the story of Buffy's arrival to the hellmouth, more commonly know as Sunnydale Calafornia. The first two episodes Welcome to the Hell mouth and The Harvest introduce the viewer to the slayer. Buffy becomes friends with Willow and Xander in these first episodes, and also to another student named Jesse, who ends up being turned into a vampire, i ...
...with the dramatic finale where Buffy slays the master, not before dying herself of course. I have to say Sarah Michelle Geller displays some excellent acting in this first season, although she was obviously quite young when it was filmed. I especially love her performance int he final episode of the series when she discovers her iminate prophesised death. This season does look kinda dated now, especially costume wise, however I found i can overlook ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant Show

Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head): The Watcher Member of the Watcher's Council, the watchers are the people who guide and train the slayers, tell them everything ...

Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter): The Cheerleader Cordelia was the first to make friends with Buffy when she started at her new high school, although she doesn't hang around with Buffy she does help out on the odd occasion.
