My Favorite Show

Imdb Page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118276










This is easily my favorite TV show of all time. I love it. I got into it originally via a dear friend, and I thank her dearly for it. For this who know me, there is a debate between this and Charmed but this totally wins out. Why? Because it is full of drama, intrigue, sadness, happiness and great comedy all in one. Every season has its good and bad points, and it ends fabulously. Easily the best out of everything I have ever watched.


For those of you who do not know: this show is simply about a young girl, named Buffy, who is the slayer. "To each Generation a Slayer is born; one girl in all the world with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires." Only.... it is not just vampires. Demons, werewolves, invisible people, witches, gods.... et cetera. Every bad thing that you in myth you thought did not exist- she fights. 


This show is simply amazing- and I love that even for a fantasy show there is little, very little, continuity issues. The major thing that irritates me with Fantasy shows is the lack of continuity- i.e. the lack of a story that does NOT contradict each other, at least in part during certain seasons. Charmed, although another great show of mine I love, is sooo guilty of this. Buffy, for the most part, is not. 


One thing I also love about this show is that you genuinely fall in love with all the major characters- each one is special in their own way and you love them all not just one person in particular. For all you fantasy fans, I would HIGHLY recommend this show- it is a true gem. I love every moment, of every season, every villan, every high and low note- I love it all. I am sure that if you started watching it, you would as well.

This show is literally terrible.... it is so bad and over the top a lot of the time, but that is what is so genuinely great about it. Some things in life are so horrible, so corny that they are genuinely entertaining and this show fits that statement perfectly. Think of it like old school Power Rangers for a second; if you remember the terrible acting, the awful props and the every so corny dialogue and plots- but the show was teriffic. Even today when I watch it I still get that good feeling when the bad guys triumph over evil. This show is like that for me: while the acting is actually good, in my opinion, and the plot is decent, the show is just so..... hilarious. For me, this show is sooo good because it is sooo terrible and over the top- I hope this show does not go away.

Everything about this show, well most things, are completely exaggerated. I do not go without laugh hard at least 3 times while watching this show; either because of what people say, do or are wearing. Before I get too ahead of myself, let me tell you a little about the plot: Amanda Vaughn is a recently widowed mother of two children who decides to move back to her hometown of Dallas after a debacle with her late husband. What makes this show even more interesting is that she was a total WITCH in high school, the Queen Bee, and her biggest four nemeses are now the ruling families in this town.

Seriously, watch this show- it will make you laugh so hard sometimes it is worth it. I fell in love with this show the second I watched it.
