Summary: what a great start to a great series
Review: This is the best season of Buffy that ever aired. It all went downhill when they went to college. Starting with the first epsiode where Buffy and her mother move to Sunnydale and meet Williw and Xander, to the last episode where they fight the most powerful vampire that ever lived (or not). It's a great start to a great series. If there ever was a season of buffy to see, this would be it.

Summary: Nice Start... Shame about the quality?
Review: Ok, i have the Region 2 version of this DVD set. The series itself is great, and has a strong plot, although some episodes are not as good, they still develope the characters we know and love.Unfortunately, I had to give this set a low rating because of the transfer quality. Any movement on screen results in horizontal lines breaking the image and making some fast scenes very unclear. I hope the region 1 version has solved this problem, if it has, I'll change this later!!!!

Summary: Finally!
Review: Fans have waited this moment for years. We can buy The Complete Buffy's First Season at last. All the 12 episodes are more then worth the price.
Sara Michelle Galler, Angel's introduction in "Angel", the pilot episode "Welcome to Hellmouth", The grate villain The Master (the eldest and strongest vampire of them all), and a lot more inside this 3 disc set. It seems to have good bonus features, and did I mentioned Sara Michele Galler?. Definitely the best TV series after Dark Angel. It has it all, drama, comedy, love stories, action, Sara Michelle Galler kicking the you know what out of the vampires and demons, an amazing writing work (my own personal opinion is that Buffy has one of the best script works in TV production).
Every episode without any exception is smart, funny and every actor and actress give their best performance. The adolescence parody that Buffy the Vampire slayer offers is more then accurate for those who understand it. I'm most interested in the Joss Whedon Commentary, I really want to hear his perspective on the interviews about the episodes "Hellmouth," "The Harvest," "Witch," "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date," "Angel" and "Puppet Show".
I think I don't have to say much, "it's Buffy" after all, and the name says it all. Finally fans are rewarded for their patience. I just hope season 2, 3, 4, and 5 don't take to long.

Summary: One of the best fantasy/sci-fi series of all time
Review: It's hard to beat Buffy. Now in its sixth season, this series has proven time and again to be one of the best acted, superbly written and well directed drama series of all time.
Finally, fans have a chance to acquire the show on DVD, complete with commentaries from show creator Joss Whedon. Available in Britain for some time, this DVD has been delayed reportedly due to a conflict with the cable network FX, which has just started broadcasting the series in syndication.
For non-Buffy fans, this collection of DVDs is where you start. For Buffy fans, seriously, how can you resist?
The show starts with one of the better premieres of any program, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" and "The Harvest" -- two excellent episodes that introduce Buffy and her loyal companions Xander and Willow, and blow away any comparison to the mediocre movie.
I won't argue that this is Buffy's best season, mostly because it is a show that gets constantly better. And other seasons, like the second and third, have better villains. But this DVD showcases a great start, and lays the groundwork for everything to come.
Included in the DVD is "Angel" which explains the origins of Buffy's true love, and "Nightmares," where everyone's worst fear is realized (and a killer of an episode not least for Buffy's nightmare -- turning into a vampire herself). Last but not least is "Prophecy Girl," where an ancient prophecy reveals that Buffy is fated to die in her war against the Master.
And the show's start even reveals tidbits of information not fully explored until later episodes, and other series. Note that Darla -- Angel's sire and original bad girl of Sunnydale -- gets her start in the first season. Upon seeing her, Angel remarks, "The last time I saw you, you were wearing kimonos." Later episodes of Buffy's spinoff series, Angel, show that very scene, where she is indeed in a kimono.
Its a nice change from other series, which forget the background comments as soon as they are spoken.
Its impossible to say enough great things about the series. I don't watch that much TV, but everyone I've introduced this show has been hooked.
I wholeheartedly recommend that you purchase these DVDs and experience the show for yourself. Buy it for a friend at Christmas, or just take it home yourself -- you won't be sorry.

Summary: Buffy Lives
Review: I think that Buffy is the best show on TV and i'm glad that it's being released on DVD. The show has humor, action, better drama than any other show and did I mention that Buffy is hot.
When I first heard about the show I thought that it would [stink] after having seen the movie but it only took 1 episode for it to not only change my mind but for it to become my favorite show. The problem with most shows is that they just focus on one thing and because of that they become tired within A couple of seasons. This show is always great fun and it does not hesitate to make fun of its self.
I'm glad that the DVD's are coming with alot of cool features it would have been disapointing if all they had were just the episodes. Long live Buffy

Summary: Saw this in Australia and loved it - glad it is coming to US
Review: If you have no idea who Buffy Summers is and have no clue what a Slayer does, then this is a great introduction into the hip mythology of Josh Whedon and company. The actors in this cast are truly gifted, but are duly outshone by the creator of the bizarre world of Sunnydale, California. Josh Whedon was the man behind the film version of Buffy, which starred Kristy Swanson and Luke Perry (in his 90210 heyday). Watching the far-superior TV show that followed the mediocre film in 1997, it is inspiring to know that sometimes in life a good idea indeed prevails, despite the schlock Hollywood usually insists on producing. I think Buffy resonates for adults much more than for kids, despite the teenaged cast and high school setting. All the angst, isolation, and fear you felt in adolescence are captured in this series - though often represented by vampires, a giant praying mantis, or a pack of "cool kids" turned into rabid hyenas - sometimes not much of a stretch. Buffy the Vampire slayer is not a horror show, not a series about monsters, but instead an insightful, hip look into the bizarre adventure of growing up. Sarah Michelle Geller is a talented (and much underrated actress) - despite the super powers possessed by the Vampire Slayer, Buffy always comes across as a very real girl, just trying to be herself, finding out slowly who she is, while living up to the enormous burdens involved with frequently saving the world (she's faced, what, 6 apocalypses now?). This DVD boxed-set has been far too long coming State-side. Australia and Europe have had the set for some time, and this US region coding looks to have all the same features. I enjoyed the commentary by Josh Whedon, as well as a look at the script for the series pilot. It is terrific to see someone's dream and vision realized, so if you are a person who also dreams of creating something, anything, meaningful but are afraid it won't be critically or commercially accepted, then I suggest you take a look at this DVD collection (and the other seasons of this wonderful show when they are released). Then have a look at Kristy Swanson's Buffy movie. It's worth the price of the DVDs to learn once and for all that sometimes the good fight is indeed worth fighting...ideals are a good thing to have.

Summary: Buffy Rules, First Season a classic!
Review: Ok, should I even bother in saying that "Buffy" is the best tv show? Anyway, even though I love it, I must admit that I liked it better the first two seasons, for after that, it became kind of too complex and maybe lost a little it's similarity with high school. Anyway, that's why it's great that they're selling the ENTIRE FIRST SEASON ( which to me it's the best and it's a classic) just in time for Christmas. Well, not really, but very close to Christmas. Re-live the laughter, the fun, the horror and the charm of Buffy's first season, where Willow still was insecure and nerdy, Xander was still hilarious and dorky; Giles had more screen time, and Buffy had a natural color hair and apple bossom cheeks, and Angel and Cordelia were still here. See how it all started! What I mean, is that you SIMPLY CAN'T DECIDE NOT TO BUY THIS It's simply great. Joss Whedon, the series creator is extraordinarily a genius and as I said, Buffy is the best tv show ever. I dont'know if you will ever find something like this again, it's too good to be true
