I guess it's all to defuse a tense situation for the audience. ;)

What winds me up about Buffy is that she has flat feet. Lots of scenes with her runninbg to battle some foe are almost comical. You think her slayer powers would stretch to raising a pair of fallen arches!

you think her Slayer powers would give her a more impressive anotomy!, she's so small and scrawny!, its hard to beleive she could beat any demon!

dude chill out its just a T.V. show, it doesent have to make sense :?

.......no sir I don't like it

well thats your problem now isint it.... david

well yes it is.......george

ummm... who's george?

YOU ARE!!!

I hate Buffy too. But Fx doesn't so one must be careful not to be too open about it lest you ruffle her feathers. 8)

However, I will admit that despite trying several times to watch the Buff one, I never did get through a whole episode. She reminded me of every annoying whining teen I had ever had to deal with. So no buffy for me! But... that just leave more fandom for the rest. :wink:

Buffy is Buff enough.

I wouldn't say no to getting slayed by her.

I've never been able to get through a Buffy episode either. But I don't feel the need to come to this forum to trash someone else's favourite show.

Dude, if you feel the need to come here and alienate other Sadgeezers just because Buffy reminds you of a girl from high school, then perhaps what you need is not a message board but a highly qualified child therapist. After spending many interminable months dealing with you here and on lexx.com, I can truly say you have serious issues. :roll:

I did try and give Buffy a chance, but the show is too teenybopper for me, the demons look stupid, Buffy is supposed to be a slayer but she still whines about teenage crap.

plus my sister likes it....nuff said, my sister likes the Lizzy Mcguire show and Harry Potter for fucks sake!

I like Harry Potter. And the problem with that is????

Oh and I also like "Kim Possible" and "Dexter" :D

DEXTERS LAB!!!!!!!!

Hey... Im one of the worlds biggest Harry Potter fans!

I love toons as well.

And yes, Im not normal. Im a sadgeezer. Mwa-hahahaha!

I'm with thefrey and lexxrobotech, I LOVE Dexter's Lab. In fact, I'm a cartoon junkie myself. And even though Buffy may be wimpy, whiny and illogically talented, I believe that was the premise of both the show and the movie. Typical softie teenager endowed with special powers that make no sense. No offense to the teenagers out there :wink:

I have a Dexter watch. Yes, at 31 years old, I still consider a cartoon character watch a fashionable accessory. You don't know how many adults ask for the time just to hear me say in Dexter's voice, " It is a fine time for science! " Or they see the watch and exclaim " Dee Dee! What are you doing in my laboratory?! "

The day I give up kid things is the day they plant me. Oh, and Harry Potter rocks, too. *sticks out her tongue*

Dexter's Lab is fabulous.
But my fave cartoons are ren & Stipmpy, Cow & Chicken and... The Oblongs!!!

(I don't like Buffy much - reminds me of Charmed or whatever the original title is - that one with (later without) Shannen Doherty, about three witches... Too much beverly Hills in both of them. But annoying the fans of the show like that seems pretty pointless and childish to me. But yes, I hate her, too.)

"Dexters Labortory" is pretty cool, Kim Possible is lame.

...in your opinion.

Naw, Kim Possible is totally awesome. I love Wade and I lust after his system. Ron is hysterial and reminds me very much of Captain Stan, and hey... what can ya say about Kimmie (as Shego calls her) how many other action hero's wear 'off the rack' clothes. :) Greatness, I tell ya, greatness.

I just hate shows where teenagers solve crime and junk, like Mary kate and Ashley in action!, or tottally spies!, I know Kim Possible is alot more intelligent then both those shows, but its still not very creative.

People think Buffy is all plastic and no substance really need to watch the season 5 episode "The Body" (episode 16). I dare anyone to watch that episode and not choke up.

I didn't really like Buffy at first either, being a horror-buff. I thought it was just silly, basically. But after watching a few eps I got into the intelligent humour and excellent character developments. Now I'm an addict, having seen all episodes and started on Angel.

I watched an ep of it today, something about that lesbian witch going after some nerd cause he killed her bitch, it was all pretty silly.

and Buffy is so freaking scrawny!, the should of picked someone more athlectic like Xenia, its hard to imagine Sarah Michelle Geller could beat anyone up.

Xenia? Athletic? Surely you jest.

Say what you will. It won't change my viewing habits. I watch Buffy at least once a week, even though I have seen all the episodes several times. Buffy was a great show; TV history just hasn't recognized it yet. :)

what are you talking about?, Xenia's got a very athletic body so it makes it more beleivable when she beats someone up as Xev. But Sarah is practically a stick!

and another thing, how come in the fighting scenes in buffy, when the fight and punch eachother there's no big bruises or cuts or blood, its like watching wrestling!.

That probably has more to do with the censors than the creators. As you've pointed out before, the target audience includes people well under 18. They trade off the little things for the big stuff later on, you know, stuff like flaying the skin off of people? That would be my best guess, anyway.

I remember once reading an interview with the guys who use to do the TV show Starskey and Hutch.

One of them told of coming out of a night club one evening and getting pushed and taunted a bit by a few "you ain't so tough" dudes. They had been being coached a lot on fighting styles and doing work outs and such so he decided to take care of this his self.... and so the fight was on.

What the TV shows don't show... since they are fantasy, is that even when you know what you are doing you can break things, tear things and oh yes.... bruise and purple like a bad dog. :)

And let us face it... the Buff one would not look good black and blue in every episode. ;D Even if it was just makeup.

I have an Austin Powers talking watch that I'm not allowed to play over the intercom system anymore. :twisted:

When Vince Vaughn tried that, Steve Buscemi got stabbed in the neck.
