Am I or are you getting all philosophical?
The concept of Buffy is really good and the characters are interesting, I just wish the acting was a little better. Still a great series.
If we're gonna go into older fantasy shows Charmed has to be my favorite.
Network tv is NOT the place to go if you want to see brilliant acting. On the other hand, they do occasionally cough up some pretty damned clever writing (like Whedon).
And I DESPISED Charmed. Several in my family loved it. I found it tiresome.
