Summary: Great show, DVD could be better
Review: I'm a huge Buffy fan and I was really looking forward to this DVD set, but it doesn't really live up to my expectations. Obviously the episodes are the same as the TV versions, so they're excellent, but there are a few things that I dislike. The first being the packaging. The insert booklet was too big for the box and had to be crumpled to fit correctly. It even came crumpled. Secondly, the way the episodes are laid out in the DVD menu is confusing. They're laid out in a 2x2 grid format with no episode numbers. I couldn't be sure if episode 2 was the top right or the bottom left episode without having to get up and read the crumpled insert. Finally, although the TV episodes need to fade out for commercials, it would have been nice if the DVD just cut from one scene to another, or didn't cut out at all. It's a little weird fading out on one scene and then fading back in on the same scene again. The extras are a little boring, but I guess that's because I'm partial to Anthony Stewart Head and not David Boreanaz. Aside from that, the episodes are obviously great.

Summary: Buffy the vampire slayer
Review: "Into each generation a slayer is born." This time its Buffy Summers, a high school student. With her friends and watcher, she's out to protect the world from vampires, demons, and all sorts of evil. This dvd will keep you hanging on to the last second, you won't want to stop watching. Along with violence and horror, comes a lot of comedy and romance. This dvd will be all you'll want to talk about.

Summary: Buffy Slays Me!
Review: I had never seen the first season of Buffy so I jumped at the chance to get this collection. I WAS NOT DISAPOINTED! The humor is great and is more than worth the price of the DVDs! Sure the whole Vampires/Hellmouth/Demons thing is a bit far fetched, but for pure NO-THINKING entertainment it can't be beat. The characters are funny and the story lines are good. After watching season one I had only one question....when are they releasing season 2?

Summary: The Complete First Season Of BuffyTVS on DVD, is Perfect!!!!
Review: This is a PERFECT DVD!!!!! They couldn't have added anything else! All of the episodes are great, except for 1. So 11 out of 12 is Perfect! It has the Original Pilot Script, Interviews on all 3 DVDS on 6 different episodes with the creator, Interview with the creator and Angel from the show, Buffy T.V. Trailors, Buffy DVD-ROM web links, Photo Galleries and Cast Biographies.
And also a cut scene from The Puppet Show is added onto it, that would have only been aired on Television once. If you are a fan, this is the most perfect Buffy DVD for you!

Summary: Excellent Episodes, Bad Wuality DVD
Review: I absolutely love Buffy. It's the coolest show ever. I was so excited when I heard that the complete first season was coming to DVD. When I purchased it though, I was extremely disappointed. First of all, the picture on the three DVD's suck! This is due to the ep. being shot in 16mm. Second is the packaging. When I opened the DVD package, the second DVD kept fall out of the package slot. Not to mention how scratched up they get. I recommend that you put the DVD's in a cd holder and not use the package. Third is the features which I won't even bother with. They are horrible. Finally, how come in the UK, four seasons are already out on DVD for Buffy, and 2 for Angel? In America, things are sure running slow!! Anyway, besides all this, the episodes are fantastic, just no the DVD or the quality.

Summary: I Can't Believe You People!
Review: Alright, first with the DVD. The DVD is just great. The episodes are magnific and now, we don't have that stupid logo on the bottom of the screen. The picture quality and audio quality are not bad but not the best due to the film Season 1 was shot on. What is the most funny is watching it in French, the characters so don't have the same voice and sometimes, I can't even tell which voice is from whom.Now, the second part of this post, the people who keep "dissing" the features. If it wouldn't have been of Fox, the DVD would not even exist so be glad that it does. People keep complaning that they want out-takes and deleted scenes but Fox is not the one who doesn't want to give you those things, Joss Whedon is. He said that what he showed on TV was what he is going to give on video and DVD. So, people, stop complaining about it. If you're not happy with the features, then don't buy the DVD. I saw alot of DVDs who have only a trailer as a special feature and that's it! We're even lucky that they put special features on this DVD. And if Season 2 is like the one UK, then you'll get more special features, but don't expect Deleted Scenes or Out-Takes because you're just getting your hopes up for nothing.

Summary: editing problems
Review: maybe this is unrealistic, but I had hoped that all the breaks would have been edited out. Also, the beginning of the show, showing the characters and the actors-- I wish that had been edited out too. All in all, it wasn't all that much different from being quick on the vcr trigger with pause. However, I bought this DVD mostly because I watch them a lot and for some reason when taping them, I seem to always miss one or two of the episodes. At least here, they are in order.

Summary: great show.. bbaaaaaad dvd
Review: There are 100s of other reviews saying the same thing but I just had to add to the dissent. The video itself is muddy. The menus are extremely sub par (no 'Play All' and so on), many skips and break ups and so on... For the price you would think it would on a technical level be as good as the tapes but it barely is. It is sad that companies KNOW people are going to buy it anyway, so they half-ass it anyway (farscape series dvds comes to mind).

Summary: disappointing features
Review: I love Buffy and was really excited when I heard about the first season being complete in a set, I was psyched for the special features before it came out, I thought they would be really cool, but the were a big let down. I would have loved to have the audio commentary on all the episodes, the special features menu accessible from the main menu, maybe some deleted scenes or funny take outs just to let us see what happens behind the camera. I hope Fox fixes their idea of special features before the June release of season 2, not that I wont buy it when it comes out if they don't fix it.

Summary: Buffy Camp Even More Lovely Today
Review: I don't know if I'm just one of those completely over-the-top "Buffy" fans, but this purchase made me more happy than words can say. Is it Sarah Michelle Gellar looking fresh-faced and flippant? Perhaps it's Alyson Hannigans' incredibly endearing dorkiness. Xanders' wacky antics? I think it's the genuine nostaglia. though I ,of course, love the dark, scary and sexy turns "Buffy" and the Scoobies have taken, I enjoy each phase for what it offers us as fans (except anything to do with Riley). This is the pure exhilirating excitment of knowing what is to come but feeling as if I am seeing the show and characters for the first time. Some people complained about there not being enough face-time from the cast, hopefully they'll get it together for the June 2002 release of Season Two.
