Summary: Not the best season but it is the beginning
Review: Buffy doesn't hit its stride till Season 2. That is an awesome, awesome, absolutely fantastic TV you'll ever see. But you won't care as much about the characters untill you see Season 1. It's the beginning of the best TV show in history. While watching Season 1 it might feel a bit like you're much too grown up for it but you'll enjoy it neverless. But Buffy does get better. And better (especially season 6).
Enjoy!

(...)16 year-old high school sophomore and Vampire Slayer, Buffy Summers, moves from Los Angeles to Sunnydale, California and realizes that she has to continue her Slayer duties because the town is the Hellmouth-a passageway to an evil dimension. She befriends computer geek Willow, average guy Xander, snob Cordelia, her new Watcher, Rupert Giles and a vampire with a soul named Angel. As soon as Buffy decides to continue her duties as a Slayer, we get to meet The Master, an evil vampire bent on opening Hell on Earth and Buffy's greatest nemesis, the Anointed One-an eight year-old baddy who is The Master's strongest warrior. In Buffy's sophomore year of high school...
Xander and Willow lose their pal Jesse to the vampires.
A witch trying to relive her glory days possesses her daughter and starts killing cheerleaders.
Xander is seduced by his science teacher who is a praying mantis creature.
Buffy almost loses focus on her job when she falls for a poetry geek.
Xander and his friends are possessed by hyenas and kill Principal Flutie.
Buffy and Angel kiss, revealing that he is a vampire.
An evil spirit named Moloch seduces Willow over the Internet. The crew join forces with Jenny Calendar, the school's computer teacher and Giles's love interest.
The gang fights an organ stealing demon and a living ventriloquist's dummy while putting on the school's talent show.
Everyone begins living his or her worst nightmares.
A social outcast becomes invisible and begins tormenting the popular kids.
Xander finds out that Buffy is in love with Angel.
At the end of Buffy's first year at Sunnydale High, the Master kills her. However, Xander brings her back to life with good old-fashioned CPR. Buffy then sends the Master to Hell and successfully saves the Earth from evil and anarchy. After things are nicely wrapped up and the school's halls are left littered with a year's worth of papers and corpses, the heroine leaves Sunnydale for the summer to spend time with her father in LA. "Standout first season for one of the best TV series of the past decade."

Summary: A little show with a HUGE star
Review: Being a Buffy the vampire slayer proves to be worth awhile. Not only is this TV show one of the best TV shows ever on TV (it is on the list as TV shows like alias, angel and the X-files); it also stars one of the best actress in a long time.
This was a little genius show kept in the shadows because of its stupid name, with a HUGE star, Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The first show was a fun and light season of the show that really was a season where they tried out what they could do with the show. In my opinion, it's not its nest season, but if you totally love this genius show, then this is worth buying.

Summary: Buffy the Vampire Slayer-Season One-
Review: Buffy Anne Summers is the Vampire Slayer. She is the only one who can defeat the demons and vampires.
Joss Whedon is the creative genius behind the character known as Buffy Anne Summers.
In 1992 he and a director named Fran Rubel Kuzui created the movie staring Kristy Swanson as Buffy, and Donald Sutherland as her watcher Merrick.
The movie was a huge disappointment to Joss and as well with viewers. Joss tried to put Buff into his past.
However, the character was resurrected as a television show, in 1997, on March 10, 1997. The beautiful actress Sarah Michelle Gellar was cast as our heroin, and Anthony Stewart Head as her watcher named Rupert Giles. Who is all so Sunnydale High's librarian.
Filling the shoes of Willow Rosenberg (the kind and nerdy best friend of Buffy). Was Alyson Hannigian.
All so Nicholas Brendon as the cute and goofy Xander Harris.
Season one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is really just an introduction of the characters and Sunnydale.
If you can get past some of the strange story lines. I promise that you will not be sorry for sticking around the series.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been completed for two years now. After a wonderful seven years running. Along with it's spin off ANGEL staring once Costar David Boreanaz. Buffy the Vampire Slayer list of episodes for season one- Welcome to the Hellmouth / The Harvest

Summary: Good Begining To A Great Series
Review: Buffy is the greatest televison series ever. Joss Whedon wanted to create an icon and a universe that existed in our minds, and he has succeded. The first season is a good introduction to the characters as a whole, but it only contains a few key episodes. "Welcome to the Hellmouth", "The Harvest", "Angel" and "Prophecy Girl" are the standouts. The set is weak on extra features. Also the poor packaging leads to discs floating around in the sleaves, causing scratches (Fox Video please take note and fix). Altogether, this is a must have far all Buffy fans.

Summary: The first season of a life changing show
Review: I didnt start watching this show until halfway through the third season. It wasnt until about a year ago that I started buying the seasons. This was the 4th one I bought after 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Overall its my 6th favorite season. With 4th way behind it. The special effects are very poor in this season, but what can you expect with how low the budget was. And they definitely make up for it with witty dialogue and interesting storylines. I think that the best episodes of this season are: Angel, Nightmares and Prophecy Girl. I thought Angel was the best because it was an excellent episode that went into the past of my favorite vampire. I just wish I had seen first season before all of the others because I know I would have been so surprised during this episode. My favorite moment of this entire season is definitely at the end of Angel when Buffy and Angel kiss and when she walks away there is a cross imprint in his chest. It's just so sweet how he didnt say anything about it. It's episodes like this that made me a b/a shipper. Go out and buy this today!

Summary: A decent beginning to the greatest show of all-time.
Review: In my opinion,Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best show to ever be made.But,like most shows,it started with a rather awkward first season.The premise is unpromising to start with.Who would watch a show about a girl slaying vampires?Well,I actually decided to give it a try.My first episode,being `Welcome to the Hellmouth`,I started developping an interest,immediately.The characters were very likable and the dialogue was better than perharps any show with the exception of The Simpsons.I continued watching and was mostly entertained.There were a few stinkers like I,Robot,...You,Jane but the really great ones like Angel and Prophecy Girl made up for that.The cast is really memorable.Buffy,Willow,Xander and Giles are about as good you can get as far as core groups go in a show.Cordelia is annoying but the last two episodes make her interesting.There's also Angel,the vampire with a soul,Buffy's mom and more.The Big Bad of season one is the Master.He's okay but I don't miss him once he's killed.He just lacks something that some later Big Bads have.
While I have been mostly positive thus far,season one is far from
flawless.It's only twelve episodes long and the story arc is really weak.Although,I admit Prophecy Girl is so great,it saves the story arc from being bad.There are also too many monster-of-the-week episodes that don't lead anywhere.Finally,after viewing the other seasons of Buffy,season one is lame in comparison.It even feels embarrassing at times because some episodes are very cheesy and can turn off potential Buffy fans that would have loved the show in its later seasons.At its best,season one shows potential that will eventually be fully explored in the later seasons.I think that for a true Buffy fan,season one is a fun little ride with a few great episodes and is really worth owning.The dvds,themselves,are okay.Picture quality is very average but that's to be expected with 16 mm film.The menus are bland but I like how Buffy says a cool quote each time an episode is chosen.Anyway,mostly this set gets a five-star because I'm a big Buffy freak and because it leads into some of the best tv ever.

Summary: I'll admit Gellar is easy on the eyes, but...
Review: The series isn't worthy of multiple watchings, and once you've seen two or three episodes you've pretty much seen them all. So then why did I watch them all you ask?? Well that is abvoius, Gellar's appeal makes her eye candy, and I can't take my eyes off her, the way she moves her sad expressions, and that droan of a voice, makes you go onto a daze and you can;t help be eb entranced by Gellar's magical spell of beauty...

Summary: Thought that I would hate it, I was wrong
Review: I remember being excited for the movie. I was taking Tae Kwon Do at the time and thought the idea of a hot vampire slayer using bruce lee style martial arts would be a kick ass movie. Even at the age of 14, I was disspointed, the jokes were too cheesed out and the only funny character was paul reubens. So I was dumbfounded that they were going to make it into a series. I was even more suprised that I really liked it. It was funny, clever, packed with action, and had characters that were quirky but you got to like. This first season was the shakiest. You tend to see the main characters, especially the scoobies, to be more stereotypes than anything. But they all have their charisma, and you get attached to them as the show progresses. Buffy starts to show her weariness early on. She wasn't more than a bubbleheaded teenager in the movie, but shows that she is accepting the weight of her responsibility. The episodes were for the most part good, and the big bad was menancing, they range from funny to disturbing. Puppet show was one of the cheesier ones, yet still funny. Where a demon is collecting brains to keep himself in human form but is being hunted by a demon hunter, a lewd perverse one that is trapped in the body of a puppet. Teachers pet follows the same cut, playing on the classic hot for teacher story involving Xander. Except the teacher that he falls for is a giant praying mantis in human form hunting for male virgins to mate with. The Pack is on a darker note. Also a view on how cruel group mentality can be in high school. Where Xander and the meanest clique in high school are somehow bonded with the spirit of a hyena and start preying on the weak, socially and physically. There is also the Witch, about a womans obsession with regaining her past glory as a cheerleader. Which has a dark end that is touched on later in the series. Not the best season of Buffy by far, but better than anyone could have anticipated, creating a very loyal cult following.
