Summary: DID ANYONE ACTUALLY WATCH THIS SHOW?
Comment: Doesnt look like anyone really watched this show otherwise it wouldnt have been cancelled twice. This first season set the abismal tone that the show would follow from one cancellation to the other. Sarah Michelle Gellar is an exceptional talent wasted in this clunker. Dont be fooled by those who cut and paste trying to make this show sound better then it was. Being cancelled twice does nothing to show it was any good. Save your money and buy something better. Buffy makes the wiggles look like brain surgeons.
Customer Rating:
Summary: So-so start.
Comment: Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete First Season is a short season but the characters and storylines were less than impressive. Sarah Michelle Gellar's acting was too Valley Girl in the first season but I also think it was on purpose, the later seasons Buffy is much more compassionate and real. Season 2 and 3 are the best seasons. Buffy was a good show while it lasted, aww the memories!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cringe-worthy for all the wrong reasons.
Comment: I like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But season one is GOD-AWFUL.
The acting is rather Horrible. Nicholas Brendan better improve as the series progresses, because his performance is embarrassing.
The special effects are sad. i realize this is just when it started and therefore they weren't going to put a bunch of money into something they didn't know would succeed, but it really kills the mood it's trying to create.
The scripts are filled with horrible slang "What's the sitc?" (thankfully i think that dissapears after episode 2) But other than horribly dated language...is the cheesy corny crap the actors are regularly spewing. Yeah it's not all bad. sometimes i laugh.
But For example. Demon takes over the internet. the students start acting funny. They follow one of the students to an old computer development site called CDR.
Xander:Well i guess we better get to CDR.
Buffy: The computer development center?
YES MORON! my god, we're only more than halfway into the episode. how poor do they think my memory is?
People state the ovbious on a consistent basis.
Oh yeah. the plots themselves can get pretty retarded. A demon takes over the internet.
And she's a vampire slayer, but when she suggests that Xander has been possesed by a hyena, that's just crazy talk!
Then 4 students kill their principal, but you never hear about it again. i understand that the show is episodic, but come on! they could have wrapped it up in the episode, instead of the 5 minutes a horrible song plays and Xander and his new hyena palls brood around campus.
i like it, and i'm enduring it because i just know that the series will get better as it goes on. but this is a really cringe-worthy begining, and not because the ugly vampires are scary.
i liked the witch episode quite a bit, it had a good twist. BUt all in all, season one is a lesson in how not to act or write a show.
Customer Rating:
Summary: SADLY the season that started.
Comment: Buffy the vampire slayer was a good concept that turned bad, very bad. It became an over the top program that was terrible on so many levels. Bad story lines, bad acting and just cheesy in general. THe show was so bad it was canceled twice. not once but TWICE! the first season had some good ideas too start but then just turned bad and got worse. THe only good things about this product is the cover. once you put it in your dvd player things just go down hill. amazon is great with there shipping for sure. but im sure there lucky enough not to have to ship many of these.
Customer Rating:
Summary: BtVS Season 1
