Summary: A Must Have
Review: This DVD collection is a must have for all Buffy fans. This is a fantastic show and this collection is good also for those who have not seen the show. I thought the show was going to stink at first, but ever since, I have been a huge fan. Sarah Michelle Gellar is perfect as Buffy. I can't wait for a second DVD collection to be released.

Summary: An inordinate amount of fun
Review: being in England, I got this back in 2000, and it is great, complete with some very entertaining audio commentaries from Jos Whedon full of inciteful facts that anybody claiming to be a true fan should know.

Summary: Pure unadulterated brilliance and fun
Review: I have always preferred season 1 to any of the others - it had a lot more light in it, but was still full of action, thoughtfulness, great lines and acting and production. I could never fault the series overall (occasional weak episodes, but never any failure from uniformly great actors). I haven't seen this DVD version yet, so I don't know how well put together the DVD is, but the series should appeal to people of all ages - if they can get past the need to willingly suspend their disbelief about the existence of a 16 year old vampire slayer who saves the world, deals with school and mom problems and still manages to look pretty and fashionable.

Summary: Winning drama...for adults!
Review: When 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' was first launched it's pretty certain to say that there were a few people out there that scoffed at its name and dismissed it as a stupid teen fantasy. But when you watch this first series you see just how fresh and original this series is. In it there's the feisty yet vulnerable Buffy Summers who fights both her emotional and more literal demons. She's joined by best friends Willow and Xander, the very bottom of the school's social spectrum. Along for the ride is spoilt popular Cordelia and the dark and mysterious Angel. The first series is a great deal lighter than the later series (particularly the dark Series Five), with a more gothic feel to it - such as the clan of vampires that live in a cave under Sunnydale. It's nice to see a show that deals with teenage life with such a mature approach without patronising its audience. Also original is the fact that our heroine and her friends are the least popular people in school. Plus it's strange to see all those old faces again, with their characters having changed so dramatically (but also realistically), especially a shy Willow whose clothes were picked out by her mom. Also interesting is the introduction of characters originally intended for merely one episode that were eventually to be integrated fully into the show, such as Angel, Darla and Harmony. But whilst always delivering a witty quip or a hilarious situation, there's the upsetting and traumatising events of adolescense displayed on our screen. Particularly heart-rending is Buffy's discovery that she is prophecised to die in the final episode of Season One, 'Prophecy Girl'. By exaggerating such traumas, the show has managed to bring to the forefront how each small knock can have much larger consequences when young, how everything seems worse than it really is. Take, 'Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight', in which one girl that is unnoticed by her supposed friends turns invisible. This is a winning TV series that not only satisfies its younger audience but is also aimed at adults. People who scoff at fantasy programmes purely for their genre look out, 'Buffy' has proved that it is here to stay. Indeed, this was only the beginning of an increasingly innovative show that was to garner critic and audience support.

Summary: Joss Whedon rocks!
Review: I have a confession to make. I am a Buffy-holic. I didn't start watching till recently, but I can say that I have spent the last 2 months glued to my tv set for 2 hours every weeknight getting up to speed on possibly the best show on television today. I have come to love and care for the charachters of this show. It's like visiting old friends now and I dread the moment when new episodes for me stop. Buffy is cool and forever fighting demons, external and internal. Willow is adorable. Xander is the super soldier man, at least for one halloween. Anya is the funniest thing, especially being an exdemon so fearful of bunnies {i would love to know why}. Giles is the rock of Gibraltar. And Spike, that guy is so freakin evil and cool, I can't wait to see what he is gonna say and do next.
Thank you Joss Whedon for an awesome show.
Buy these DVD's and support the last glimmer of hope for quality tv. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Buffy's best season in one whole DVD collection!
Review: Now that I just got a brand new DVD player, I can finally start buying DVDs instead of those ... boring, old videos! And when BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON comes out, it will be a great DVD to jump-start my collection. I really love the TV show, but I've always thought season #1 was the best season the show had, and it's not just because season #1 had all the original characters, but also because season #1 is a TV classic! My favorite show is actually "7th Heaven", but I love "Buffy" almost as much! Anyway, I am so excited about this DVD set. For those who've never seen "Buffy" and don't know what the show is about, well...it's about this teen girl named Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), who moves to a town called Sunnydale in California, and is the Chosen One, or the one to fight off all that is evil, basically vampires. She's a vampire slayer, of course. So all throughout the show, she spends her time fighting off the evil blood-sucking vampires while trying to fit in with the rest of her high school peers. Finally! We get a female heroine on TV. "Buffy" is better than "Xena: Warrior Princess". Buffy kicks butt! Standing beside Buffy are her two best friends Xander (Nicholas Brendan), and Willow (Alyson Hannigan). I still enjoy the new episodes of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", except the only problem is, is that I hardly ever watch the show anymore. All the actors who've worked on this show are excellent and talented, and the scripts are amazing! The special effects are pretty cool, too. It seems as though all the actors and crew are dedicated to this show, which makes you even want to watch it more because they are so loyal and talented. From what I see here on Amazon.com for the special features, it looks pretty good. If you are a fan of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", than this DVD collection is the perfect gift for you!

Summary: Trousers!
Review: Suffering an entire season of Buffy was more painful than Haemorroids on a cold toilet bowl. As an angst ridden teenager with raging hormones perhaps I might have been more appreciative of this drudgery but switching my mind off for 45 minuites would be the only way I could tell myself Buffy is any good.
Borrowing heavily from the mythos Nancy Collins created for her Sonya Blue character in her trio of books, Buffy tries to blend this with the growing up issues found in Dawsons Creek. Never achieving the level of sophistication that popularised Anne Rices Vampire books and film, lacking the raw style and fluidity found in Blade and unable to duplicate the comedic value of the Lost Boys, Buffy succeeds on a level of character development aimed at teens and low rent horror/sci fi to please the fan boys.
Buffy howvever can never expand its horizons due to the constraints placed on it as a tv series and if not for the characterisation would be extremly dull. The fight scenes are poor at best, with Buffy slaying vampires in designer clothing labels (impractical me thinks) in a similarily uninterseting manner each time, Villains are built up as major players yet after weeks of lurking in the shadows are dispatched in a hugely anticlimactic five minuites at the end of an episode, and Xander is a poor mans Chandler from Friends in the humour department. The valley girl post ironic lingo is another feature of Buffy from which I was caused mental trauma but it rates low on my overall list of gripes.
With that said Buffy suffices as 45 minutes worth of something to watch if your hard pushed and if your more interested in Buffy and her relationships with the supporting cast than the surrounding cheese then this could be for you. My personal summation is that Buffy is pantaloons but far from the worst, Watchable if not a head melting experience and in fairness I doubt I'll want to be devoting my life to it's following.
