Summary: The Dark Shadows of the 90's
Review: I am ashamed to say that I am a latecomer to the Buffy series.I did not care much for the Buffy motion Picture with Christy Swanson and when I heared about the television series I dismissed it almost immediately.Then late one night I was flipping through the channels and came upon a episode of Buffy.(It was the one with the demons who stole everybodys voices in order to cut out their hearts)It really freaked me out,I couldnt believe it was that good.I have since started watching every episode that I could find(new and reruns)I WAS HOOKED.Buffy combines humor,horror and social commentary.It reminds me of one of my favorite shows of all time...Dark Shadows but not always as dark and moody as the soap opera.I bought the first season on DVD and am looking forward to collecting the all.Give Buffy the television series a try and you wont be disappointed.

Summary: Great introduction to one of the best TV shows ever.
Review: I gave this DVD five stars, completely based on the content of the show itself, not necessarily the DVD. I was a little disappointed that there were not more commentaries and interviews and other little perks that make DVDs fun. The show itself has had me hooked ever since I started watching it in the second season. Trying to tell someone who has never seen the show that a program called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is one the best, most tightly and wittily written programs in television history sounds a little absurd. However, it is all that and more. I highly recommend this set for fans new and old. The episodes contained on it never wear out (although I was a little suprised to see how fast the fashion and music on the series became dated!).

Summary: An excellent collection for fans
Review: I didn't start watching Buffy regularly until the second season, so I hadn't even seen some of these episodes. Watching them now, though, makes it easy to see that all the elements which make Buffy so good were in fact present from Day 1.And the commentary from Joss Whedon is a wonderful insight into the series (thematically and practically). I would have given it five stars, except that the disks were a bit hard to navigate. It was tough to figure out how to access the commentary and other extras. And there should have been more commentary. I guess they have to save something for "The Complete Second Season". I can't wait for Spike to once again get rid of "The Annoying One".

Summary: Excellent DVD collection!
Review: I was really impressed with this DVD collection. I've been interested in Buffy since like, the middle/end of the first season, and this was the first time that I'd seen the ENTIRE first season. It took me 2 days to watch it, it was really really good. The quality of the picture is really, really good. The episodes are excellent, and the special features are really good too. I recommend this DVD to all die-hard Buffy fans!

Summary: Great Show but....
Review: ...lets face it, in just about every great television show ever made, with a few exceptions of course, the first season {was bad}! Buffy is no exception. The budget wasn't there, the actors didn't have their charachters yet and the writers didn't really know what kind of a show they where writing for yet. One thing this DVD set has going for it though is it is SO ... cheap compared to other series which are being released in there entirety. So I guess you'd say, I recomend this if you ahve a few bucks to spare and plan on buying the rest of the series, cause otherwise just wait till season two comes out or just watch the reruns on FX.

Summary: Umm, what's to review? If you like Buffy, buy it already.
Review: See title to review. If you'd don't like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for goodness sake, don't let anyone you live with who does like Buffy the Vampire Slayer know this exists. Or that the second season is coming out soon. Then undoubtedly the rest. Nuff said.

Summary: freaky and fun
Review: Buffy Summers, a high school teen who recently moved to Sunnydale, CA is not your average girl. You see Buffy is "the slayer," one girl in the entire world who has the powers to fight the vampires, demons, and creatures from hell. That's the story behind the first season. I've only just got this DVD about a week ago and I love to watch it. THe whole plot to "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," is that Buffy is the "chosen one" in which she must take the identity of the slayer. After burning down her old school's gym, Buffy decided she'd "retire" from being the slayer.
But after moving to Sunnydale, she can't escape her destiny. But now Buffy's got help, from friends Xander, who would except a blind date any day, Willow, who is an expert on computers, The snobbish cool girl Cordelia, Rupert Giles, the watcher and school Librarian, and the mysterious Angel, who has been haunted by a curse for a hundred years. Among the enemies Buffy faces are the Master, the head of all Vampires, Luke, the Vampire with a mean attitude, Darla, the cat-like Vampire, and former friend Jesse.Oh, I can't forget about the substitute teacher who is actually a giant praying mantis. My advice, just buy this DVD right away!

Summary: No COMMERCIALS!!
Review: I thought it would be good to get the ENTIRE first Buffy season on DVD. There's NO commercials, and there is even some Joss Whedon and Angel interviews in there. The only thing wrong is my third disc, the one with the SEASON FINALE, has a problem: the episode Out of Mind, Out of Sight is totally ruined: I can't even view it; and Prophecy Girl has little blank outs and blurs every now and then. The other discs are great, but some DVDs out there might come with some bugs/scratches

Summary: The Chosen One
Review: i don't have to say much if you already like Buffy. this is the shows younger beginnings, and it is at times immature. But if you love the puns and jokes of Buffy, you will still love the first season, it's worth the money just to see how much the chericters have evolved over the course of the show.

Summary: BUYERS BEWARE
Review: Okay, I am a HUGE Buffy fan. And you dont know how elated I was to learn that they were (FINALLY) starting to release the seasons on DVD in America. (As we all know, europeans have like up to season 5 for Buffy and already 1 and 2 of Angel-yes, I am totally jealous of you guys over there!!) Anyways, to my point... As soon as I had the extra cash I ran out to the store and got my own copy. Got it home, started checking it all out and surprise! The photo galleries dont work! Okay, so I thought maybe it was just the DVD player I was using. So, I took it into another room and tried it on the other DVD player we have which is a totally different model and brand, didn't work on that one either. So, I returned it to the store and got another one. Well, it doesn't work on either player on that set either. So, just to warn you prospective buyers, there are certain sections on the entire DVD set that aren't compatible on select DVD players. Other reviews listed on Amazon have pointed out problems with the script and the entire 3rd disk itself. Just a warning. But, I am not saying that its totally not worth buying. If you love the show and are like me and have completely worn out all of your video tapes of TV recorded episodes, the DVD is so much better with out those pesky commercials. I just wanted to let you all know that you may not be getting all of what you pay for. And FOX, yeah I wrote them asking about the problem and another surprise! They never responded. Whatever...
