Summary: Whats to be said it is the best show ever
Review: I gave this product 5 stars because it is Buffy and no other show has ever come close to matching it for quality. In fact I am currently converting my sixth friend into becoming as sad a fan as I am.The first person I introduced to Buffy now scans the web for news about upcoming episodes and positively cant wait for new seasons to start. I am amazed that we in the UK have got the first two series on DVD already with series 3 of Buffy and series 1 of angel coming out at the end of october. Usually we get everything after the US and Japan, but hey I aint complaining unless you guys get more extras that is. Anyway series one is not the best in my opinion but it is still great and with the extras and the great interface you get with the DVD it really is a must for Buffy fans. In fact I would suggest that if you dont yet have a DVD player then buy one so you can get the extras on these DVDs alone. And if you think this DVD is good you wait for season 2, it is even better except for the packaging which although it includes glossy inbuilt pages of information, still seems a little cheap in my opinion and has little pockets where you slip the dvds into. The pockets are a little tight and I am worried that in the long term it will scratch the DVDs as you keep taking them out. Anyway thats for the future season one is a MUST buy, can you get your DVD players chipped to play DVDs from other regions, I know we can here for a small charge in most electronic stores and it means that you will be able to order all three first series from Amazon.co.uk, without having to wait another two years

Review: FINALLY! I barely started to watch this show from the middle of the 5th season and I am so glad to see it from the beginning! I have searched EBAY many many times and I found lots and lots but in region 4 from Australia and the UK. I constantly searched and never found a region1. BUT FINALLY! 20th Century fox was nice enough to release it on region1 DVD! I told my mom to postpone my Christmas present until January 15, 2002. LOL!

Summary: Meet The Slayer
Review: Buffy The Vampire Slayer's first season was a short one due to the fact it debuted in March of 1997 and the television season ends in May. But despite the fact season one only consists of twelve episodes, they pack as much power as any debut season of any show on television. Throughout the first season, we are introduced to all the major players in addition to Buffy including Xander, Willow, Giles and Angel. Angel starts off as a minor character, but as the season progresses he and Buffy become more involved and his role elevates. Season one continuing plot revolves around The Master who is the supreme vampire. He is trapped in the Hellmouth and throughout the season chronicles his attempt to be freed. Even though the main focus is on fighting vampires, other demons arise. One particularly strong episode is where Xander and several other students are possessed with the spirits of hyenas. They develop the attributes of hyenas including the pack mentality. This episode really shows the brilliance of Joss Whedon as the hyenas are a metaphor for the clique and pack mentality of high school and how the strong packs pick on the weaker ones. Buffy is a rare show that combines humor, drama, the supernatural into a show that can scare you, make you laugh and touch you all in one episode.

Summary: Well, it's about time!
Review: This set has been available in England for well over a year, and was originbally scheduled for release in Spring 2001. I guess with reruns of the first five seasonb on FX, they figured it was time for the DVD route in the USA at last. I am relieved and delighted. These twelve episodes introduce one for the finest ensemble casts on series ytelevision. The combination of teenage high school humor, action and weit is tough to beat. The standard by which most other teen-oriented shows are measured and found wanting. Now bring on the rest, please.

Summary: Finally... It Is Here!!!
Review: Quite possibly the finest t.v. show ever made,is finally getting
released on dvd.
I can not say enough great things about this series.
The acting is above and beyond what you would expect from normal
t.v. actors. Why in the world this show has not gotten more Emmy's I have no idea.
The entire cast is nothing short of amazing.
While the dvd is every Buffy fans dream,I feel it could have been more.The actual orignal pilot would have been a welcome extra.
And some outtake footage would have been nice.
I myself have seen both the orignal pilot and several hours of outtakes from several eps,and while the footage is not needed.
It is interesting to see.
Even with all these things In mind the dvd is still a must have for any Buffy fan.
Now all we need is Seasons 2-5...

Summary: Every saga has a beginning... Ok little melodramitic I know.
Review: I have had this set as it was released in here in New Zealand over a year ago.
This is more of a fun, have a laugh sort of season. Wheras the drama really kicks in in Season 2. Not that there isnt drama in this season far from it! We have the introduction of Angel, Darla and a bunch of characters still regulars on the show.
The discs are well presented, Joss Whedon's commentary is funny and infomative. However the picture quality doesnt really impress, the first season was shot on 16mm film stock (as opposed to the better quality 35mm) so it gets a little grainy at times, and the transfer to digital seems to have degraded the picture slightly.
The chapter function is great as you can eally skip to the best parts with the great one liners with a single click instead of fast forwarding like with the ol VHS.
The episode 'Puppet Show' even has the rather hard to see ending where Buffy, Xander and Willow all perform the greek play (A scene that is cut from re-airings of the episode in most countries).
But all in all the features are good, and with four episodes on each disc it should keep you slaying well into 2002.
I would give it four because of the sometimes grainy picture but the episodes are just so good I just cant do it.
Worth a five.
Darn tootin!

Summary: A show that beckons to be bought
Review: Im from Australia and have had this box set for around 10 months, and I can easily say this is a must have. To watch the very beginning of a great show again is good, but to own it on DVD is so much better.
For a DVD the picture quality is decent and the sound is good in 2.0 Dolby Stereo, plus with good special features (interveiws, scripts and commentary). The commentary is great as Joss gives a great insight into how the show became how it is, the budget has something to do with it as you will find out.
As for the show it self you cant be dissapointed, for most people who will read this you are already fans, but if your not, you are interested in the emmensly popular cult like classic Buffy which will not dissapoint in any aspect. From beginning to end this season is a great watch.
The first two eps: 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' and 'The Harvest' introduce us to the slayer and the seasons villian The master, who is the freakiest bad guy I've ever seen.
Then 'Teachers Pet' shows how funny Xander can be and 'I, Robot you Jane' gives us a better insight into Willows character.
But the best eps in this season are easily 'Nightmares' which brings everyones nightmares to real and the season finale 'Prophecy Girl' which brings this season to a climatic ending with a great build up, Does Buffy Die? So to anyone considering buying this set dont hold back, you will not regret buying this box set.
