Not sure how I missed it in the episode I originally saw. I bought the first season for him for Christmas, and we have enjoyed watching it together. That being the case, I rarely watched Buffy when it was on TV, but a friend of mine is a great fan. Great humor and suspense. I loved the movie and watched a part of a TV episode. I missed the humor that I liked in the movie. He remembers the episodes, but they are new to me.

I LOVE BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER.it's my guilty pleasure. however the disc quality, sound, picture are not that great they could be better.but for the inexpensive price it was worth it.
The video quality of this DVD is terrible. I love the show. One of the worst video transfers I've ever seen.
What it does is set the groudwork for future seasons. Most of his little jokes weren't that funny in this season, but I could see that his delivery of those lines was excellent. I could be wrong, but I don't think many of the actors(with the exception of Anthony Stewart Head) had done much acting. The villian of this season, the master, is kind of lame. As a result, there are many problems with the first season. His fight with Buffy at the end of the season did not make any sense.
Taking that into account, it is surprising that this show was ever concieved. Obviously, they didn't have a lot to work with. The plot and all the main characters are introduced nicely. I have to be one of the only guys in the world who likes this show. I didn't think the acting was horrible, but it's not excellent either. I got real tired of his quips and attempts at being scary.
There were elements of this season that would get better with better writing and a bigger budget. I don't think too many people even acknowledge this season. For example, I saw right away that Xander is supposed to be the funny comic relief guy. How does Buffy easily kill the most powerful vampire on the planet when he easily killed her five minutes earlier.Even with problems like these, the season is still okay. And in later seasons, he does become a very funny character.Overall, the season was okay. The costumes and makeup look kind of cheesy.
Now this was not the best season by a long shot. The key problem with this season: low budget.Now as many of you know, the series is based off a 1992 movie of the same name, starring Kristy Swanson, Luke Perry, and Donald Sutherland. The action scenes are not very well choreographed. So if you want to get into a great television series, buy oor rent this DVD, suffer through it, and then you get to watch seasons two and three, some of the best television I've ever seen. It interested me enough to get me to watch the second season. I'm going to start out by saying that I love this show.
I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard it's horrible. SPOILER ALERT.
