Summary: Horrible Picture Quality, Authoring Problems and CUT scenes!
Review: The picture quality is horrible, those fans who say otherwise are in denial.The majority of the episodes are really grainy, to the point where you lose facial definition and other such details in the shadows. Parts of the first 2 episodes "When She Was Bad" and "Some Assembly Aquired" have an interlace problem, this was present on the Region 4 Australian release and obviously not fixed. Check out the locker search scene in "Some Assembly Aquired" and you'll see what I mean. The set also seems to be suffering from major authoring problems. I've seen countless complaints about discs skipping or not even playing. I'm on my second set and I am still experienceing the same problems that were present on my first set. The 3rd episode on the 3rd disc likes to skip around during the first 2-3 minutes before the shows opening. The authoring problems were present in the Region 4 and 2 releases and again, not fixed. Lastly, there is an instance of at least one cut scene on the set. Fox decided to cut the "love" scene between Angel and Buffy on the episode "Surprise". They just fade to white then got to the shot of Angel running onto the street. However, in the interview with the series creator, they show the scene. It makes me wonder what other scenes were cut or altered for this release. The love scene was tame enough to be shown on the WB network during it's orginal broadcast, but not tame enough for the DVD release? I gave this set a 1 star rating, because the DVD's are horrible. Fox could have easily improved the picture quality by only putting 3 episodes per disc instead of 4. The authoring problems need to be addressed, there is a standard that DVD manufacturers and players are supposed to follow in order to insure compatiblity between the players and the discs.

Summary: Buffy emotionally grabs you, and has you begging for more!!!
Review: I have seen every episode of buffy, I love the show and I intend on buying every box set,I love the design on the box sets and I love being able to see a complete season in one week minus commercials. I love the show for many reasons one being that you see alot of real like emotions you see the same people grow to become stronger, and wiser. I peticularly liked this 2nd box set because you get to see how Spike was before he loved Buffy, and how angel went from soulful to souless, having to watch as buffy has to let go of him. The show is very metaphorical, in real life we all have had to face our own demons and hardships, and its nice to watch a show where you have a variety of outer strength, and inner strengh, intelligence, friiendship,and relationships, and everyone is different and that makes the show more interesting!! Two thumbs up for the 2nd box set and awaiting the release of the 3rd.

Summary: Inconsistent picture quality
Review: I have watched the first disc, and Reptile Boy on the second disc. The picture quality for the most part is great. However, some of the more dimly lit scenes are pretty bad as others have pointed out. I did not notice this problem at all with Seaon One. They were a little dim, but I just turned the brightness up on my screen to view those. However, doing the same for Season Two only allowed me to see a pixelated, staticy looking picture.
I've only watched these on my computer so far and am not sure if these effects might be less severe on a high end stand alone DVD player

Summary: The DVD quality was great for me
Review: I dont know what you guys are talking about. The DVD picture is great on my copy. I do have one bone to pick though. I just found out that in the UK they already have up to season 4 on DVD. Why are we only up to season 2 when it is an American show in the first place. Otherwise it was a fine purchase.

Summary: This is how the show was filmed!
Review: Please people, do not give 1 star for film quality, the show was filmed with poor film stock the first 2 seasons, 16mm film I believe, unfortunately Amazon.com doesn't have seperate ratings for content and film quality You can't improve much on film that was grainy to begin with, I think they began to use better film in season 3(35mm) These DVDs are well worth the price, this season was amazing

Summary: Fade outs detract from DVD
Review: After reading some of the reviews, I thought "Oh boy, this video has a blended presentation!" Not so. No commercials, but they kept the gaps. Can't anyone figure out how to blend through those frustrating gaps? Fade out to black is uncouth, unless there is a story shift. Gaps aside, I thought the quality of the video was good, even though I had a little trouble reading some of the menu selections. I chalked that up to not wearing my glasses rather than poor background color selection, which may be the real culprit. Sound quality could be a bit better, but Giles' mumbling is part of the script, right?
Okay, so I'm addicted to Spike and find it hard to fault his DVD debut and some of his best Buffy performances. If he's not worth four stars, nothing is!

Summary: Now I'm a definite Buffy fan!
Review: First of all I will not spoil anything in this review (endings, etc). I always had an interest in Buffy, but watching the show was painful as the first episode i saw was in the sixth season. Now here's the chance to catch up! Watch the first season obviously (there are only 12 episodes so the DVD is cheap!) Now-the second season. Buffy transforms into a sexy, more violent girl in this season, as opposed to the sweet valley girl in the first. Most of the episodes are great (all shows have some dissapointing episodes, in this one it is "Go Fish") If yu buy this you will not be dissapointed. The value is great, I mean there ARE 22 45 minute episodes, I'd say the price is a bargain.

Summary: Buffy! Buffy! It must be Buffy!
Review: Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer is so ubiquitous, it seems silly to review the actual episodes (although the quality of those is definitely better than the first season - everybody has learned something: production, acting, writing, directing). Finally the extra goodies (more commentary, for one) are available - the major flaw in the first season DVD offering. As one who came late to the party (so to speak), I'm grateful for any additional insight into the characters and the people who put the whole enjoyable series together.

Summary: Excellent Season
Review: I think i have only seen like 3 episodes on TV before i saw the season finale of Season Six. the thing that kept me away from the show was, interestingly enough, the name. Buffy? what kind of name is that? but then i decided to watch Season One and was surprised by how good the episodes were, how intelligent and creative they were. Then i had to get Season Two. The depth increased, especially with the arrival of Spike and Drusilla, who were excellent as the bad guys. This season rocks! i cant think of a single episode that i would call a Dud, and there were several that were just simply wonderful, like School Hard when Spike shows up, or Innocence, and the surprise that Buffy gets on her birthday. plus, you cant beat the episode when Xander gets a witch to brew up a spell to get Cordelia to love him. that was one of the funniest episodes written! All in all, this season rocks and is worth getting.

Summary: Excellent DVD; Picture Problems Must Be Bad Players
Review: Buffy is an excellent TV show, as anyone who would purchase this DVD would already know. I don't understand the picture/presentation problems some people claim to be having, I had absolutely no such picture difficulties. In fact, the presentation is on par with or superior to most of the DVDs in my collection.
