From its charming and angst-ridden first season to the darker, apocalyptic final one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer succeeds on many levels, and in a fresher and more authentic way than the shows that came before or after it. How lucky, then, that with the release of its boxed set of seasons 1-7, you can have the estimable pleasure of watching a near-decade of Buffy in any order you choose. (And we have some ideas about how that should be done.)
First: rest assured that there's no shame in coming to Buffy late, even if you initially turned your nose up at the winsome Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking the hell out of vampires (in Buffy-lingo, vamps), demons, and other evil-doers. Perhaps you did so because, well, it looked sort of science-fiction-like with all that monster latex. Start with season 3 and see that Buffy offers something for everyone, and the sooner you succumb to it, the quicker you'll appreciate how textured and riveting a drama it is.
Why season 3? Because it offers you a winning cast of characters who have fallen from innocence: their hearts have been broken, their egos trampled in typically vicious high-school style, and as a result, they've begun to realize how fallible they are. As much as they try, there are always more monsters, or a bigger evil. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the core crew remains something of a unit--there's the smart girl, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) who dreams of saving the day by downloading the plans to City Hall's sewer tunnels and mapping a route to safety. There are the ne'r do wells--the vampire Spike (James Marsters), who both clashes with and aspires to love Buffy; the tortured and torturing Angel (David Boreanz); the pretty, popular girl with an empty heart (Charisma Carpenter); and the teenage everyman, Xander (Nicholas Brendon).
Then there's Buffy herself, who in the course of seven seasons morphs from a sarcastic teenager in a minidress to a heroine whose tragic flaw is an abiding desire to be a "normal" girl. On a lesser note, with the boxed set you can watch the fashion transformation of Buffy from mall rat to Prada-wearing, kickboxing diva with enviable highlights. (There was the unfortunate bob of season 2, but it's a forgivable lapse.) At least the storyline merits the transformations: every time Buffy has to end a relationship she cuts her hair, shedding both the pain and her vulnerability.
In addition to the well-wrought teenage emotional landscape, Buffy deftly takes on more universal themes--power, politics, death, morality--as the series matures in seasons 4-6. And apart from a few missteps that haven't aged particularly well ("I Robot" in season 1 comes to mind), most episodes feel as harrowing and as richly drawn as they did at first viewing. That's about as much as you can ask for any form of entertainment: that it offer an escape from the viewer's workaday world and entry into one in which the heroine (ideally one with leather pants) overcomes demons far more troubling than one's own. --Megan Halverson

To anyone thinking they might want to get this...THIS IS THE GOOD COLLECTION!!!!!! It took me a while to figure it out when I was looking. All seven seasons are included with special features, plus an episode guide and an extra DVD of the actors favorite episodes! The box is pretty sweet, the front drops open when you lift the lid and the seven seasons are stacked. (Added bonus for those of you who are proenvironment, this takes way less packaging.)The box is approximately as tall as a regular DVD ... Read More

What could be better than Buffy in a box. All the seasons packed into one bloody box for your enjoyment. The only strange thing is the seasons are not uniform as far as menus go. They are the way they are in the original season box for each one. Besides that its all Buffy goodness. And for those of you skeptical about watching a tv show about vampires being slain, the show is more about the people than the slaying. Its a really great show!

If you've seen Buffy you know how amazing it will be to watch any episode whenever you want, and the extra disc lets you see the humor and personality of the people behind the scenes, making it all.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is complex, and there are people who just don't understand having a girl named Buffy be something so dark and significant. There are so many everyday things, and other worldly things that are dealt with every episode. The character development is superb!! If you ... Read More

I put off buying this collection for awhile. It's pretty expensive for an average Amazon purchase, so I argued that I just couldn't spend it. But, I'm a huge, huge fan of the show and I found out that I was spending more money and valuable places in my Netflix queue on Buffy episodes. So, I finally had enough one day and bought it. And I don't regret it at all.
Lots of other people have evaluated the show, so I'm not going to do that. What I am going to do if give you an idea of what to ... Read More
