O’ Buffy, Where Art Thou?

I don’t know about you but six years later, I’m still having Buffy withdrawals. SF/F television isn’t quite the same since Buffy went away. Then to make matters worse, the last two contenders, Angel and Firefly, were also sucked into TV’s Hellmouth of Cancellation. I just wanted to cry.

She Saved The World...A Lot.

Where in all of television land can you go to get a fix of quick quips and flawless one liners? No where, that’s where. We need The Scooby Gang.

I miss my weekly dose of seeing Evil getting its butt kick. No one, and I mean no one, kicked butt and took names like Buffy Anne Summers. We watched the struggling, quirky high school sophomore blossom into a struggling, quirky high school counselor.

I have faithfully seen every Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel episode at least five times. Though I can recite verbatim whole episodes, syndication can only do so much. I would even sell my cherished number two issue of the Buffy comic book series for a second Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Of course, this time only the television series cast members will do. How about it Joss Whedon? How about a truce between you and Sarah Michelle Gellar? A little something for the fans, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion, one last hurrah from The Scooby Gang?

Joss, you don’t have to email me today, just sleep on it. Better yet, have your people call my people…ahhh, forget it! Buffy, Willow, Xander, Giles, Angel, Cordelia and Spike, come back guys. Come baaack! You can have any time slot you want, on any day and on any channel. We’ll be better television viewers than we were before. We will watch nonstop if that is what is necessary to keep you on the television air waves. We're do anything, you name it. We promise. Just come back…please! Bufffffffy!!!

I am so glad to see this post as I look lovingly at my seven season dvd of Buffy, five seasons of Angel on DVD and of course the short yet awesome Firefly. I can watch these shows over and over, especially Buffy! Even when she had an error in her programing and shacked up with Spike, I still loved here. Thank you, you seriously put a smile on my face!

Maybe one day a Buffy movie will rise from the cancellation ashes.  And when it does, I'll be there, front row.

The pain of losing Buffy never, ever goes away.  Sometimes I'll be sitting in front of the TV and think back to those halcyon days of knowing that Buffy would be on in just a few short days.

Oh, the humanity!

I mourn Buffy as well.  Once every few months I spend an entire long weekend watching the DVD's.  It's probably a sad reflection of my parenting skills that my three year old can now quote certain lines from Buffy.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I think it rocks that she does!

I used to mock people that watched Buffy. Finally, after years of resisting, I sat down and watched the first couple of episodes on Hulu. That was all it took. I was addicted. I watched Buffy to the point that I used to think I saw zombies at Target and vampires out at the bar. I finally got what everyone was raving about all those years ago. I finally saw the light. 

I'm going to have to buy them all on DVD now. I got it bad.
