Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I've strayed from my earlier promise to try and post some things that aren't so political. I'm sorry; it just so happens that the political has been dominating my thoughts of late. In fact, you should all be thankful that I haven't posted as much as I have wanted to due to my school obligations.
So, I'm going to make a plug for my favorite TV show of all time: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's hard being a Buffy fan because the very title of the show is so ridiculous that people don't take it seriously. But believe me: this is one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and it is worth checking out in your local video store or on Netflix. I have had many friends of mine who were initially skeptical about this show who have become die hard addicts once they gave it a chance. And you should give it a chance.
What makes Buffy great is not the premise, or the execution, both of which are really cool, but the writing. This is a writer's show, and it was a gift from heaven that the producers managed to get actors who were able to present the writing in such a deft way. There have been so many shows that were great concepts that were denied by their writing and/or their cast. Buffy managed to avoid both these hazards, probably because the creator, Joss Whedon, had such a vision for the show after his original idea was butchered by Hollywood in the original movie of the same name.
I'm telling you: Buffy is a classic in television history. Go rent it and get hooked.
