During the recent WGA strike, I was missing my favourite shows, and was trying to find some TV on DVD to keep me busy. That’s when my friend Sarah lent me Season One of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Before the advent of TV on DVD, I was quite fanatical about not watching a show that had already started. I had to watch it from the very first episode – or not at all! And that’s the very reason I didn’t watch Buffy. Between school and part-time jobs, the start of the series came and went, not even a blip on my radar. So last November, I watched Season One, and I was hooked! Fast forward to Boxing Day sales, and what do you know, I end up with THE ENTIRE SERIES! And I watched it all by April.
The Buffyverse is still new to me, and I’m not completely “in the know”, but there have been some interesting little deets that I’ve discovered which sparked my interest … most recently, a 3 ½ minute trailer for Buffy, The Animated Series. Originally greenlit by Fox back in 2002, Buffy creator Joss Whedon did not find a network to buy the series. A Facebook Group has popped up, complete with a link to a previously unreleased clip. The group’s mission – to get this series on air.
Check out the video clip over on Facebook, and let me know your thoughts. Who knows? This may actually see the light of day!
