Summary: GREAT!!!
Review: I am a major Buffy fan, so this was a must for me. The only thing that I was disappointed in was that it didn't have very many extra features for a DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'll keep it short
Review: This is plainly a must-have. Not only for all of you fans out there (like me), but also for just anybody. I know what you are thinking: Buffy - vampires - high school - Dawson's creek... STOP! That's a stupid comparison. BTVS has got so much more than just some horror and a bunch of highschool teens. It's mysterious and kick a.ss!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: in every generation there is a slayer
Review: And she royally kicks Azz. I remember now why I loved this show from day one, because i loved the movie. The Buffyverse is so fun and detailed that season one makes you remember why you fell in love with this show in the first place (after the grim ness of season 6 I needed this). I await season two on tenderhooks!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yeah Not Bad
Review: Okay, I know everybody talks about how poorly done Buffy is, or what a stupid teenage show it is. They can all go fly a kite. Or wahtever else they want to do. Buffy is a pretty good series, entertaining and with several points. I was pleased with this set, and I think it's worth the money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buffy Season One on DVD
Review: When I first got the DVD's I was a bit apprehensive about what would all be on it. The quality and extras on the DVD are great. You can experience everything you missed when you watched it on TV. Enjoy the directors commentary as well as cast interviews. All in all I loved the complete season one on DVD, I even plan on getting the second season, I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer that much. ENJOY THE SHOW!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must Buy
Review: For anyone interested in Finding out just what BTVS is All about they should get the First Season DVDs. To be able to go back to the first season and watch all the old episodes and see where it all begins is a great joy. Plus knowing what happens to each character after the first season makes each episode funnier and more enjoyable. I definitely recommend getting the First season DVDs.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buffy: A new beginning...
Review: After the popcorn puff of the film I decided not to watch this series... then I noticed the fuss being made over the continuing series.

I caught up about Series 3 and have been watching ever since, it's all grown up now of course (with resurrection and lesbianism!) but this first series is great. There's a little more goofiness, and humour, than the subsequent series, but it is great to see how Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz built up their initial relationship, and how Darla (later of Angel fame) fits in.

The additional features are quirky, but I bought it for the series not the extras. The sound quality is superb, and although the picture has the ever present US TV graininess it's well worth putting up with.

Summary: Beginning the Mythic Journey
Review: There are so many reasons to watch Buffy, it's impossible to list them in a brief precis: epic scope, mythic resonance, a completely believable variety of diverse characters, witty scripts, sparkling dialogue, wonderfully realized performances, and even a legitimate scare, here and there, along the way.

Every season has its own feel and flavor, and its own self-contained story arc. The first season, needless to say, introduced all the basic characters and situations, emphasizing humor, courage and loyalty. The Order of Aurelius, headed by the arch-vampire known as The Master, was Buffy's Season One trial, though it properly only covered half the total number of episodes, the rest being filled out by "incidental" horrors of the Hellmouth, where the supernatural manifests itself more than in most places of the world.

Against The Master and his sinister, apocalyptic vampire Order, are: Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), the born "Slayer," whose dharma is to be the one girl in all the world equipped from birth with the strength and stamina to thin-out the vampire ranks and prevent their overrunning the world; her watcher, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), an introverted British bookworm and surrogate father, whose knowledge and training are invaluable to Buffy; Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon), a good-hearted unlucky social loser but pithily witty analyst, whose love and loyalty to Buffy elevate him to the rank of unsung hero/helpmeet; and Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan), a scholarly computer nerd and gentle soul of great innate wisdom.

Added assistance are provided by Angel (David Boreanaz), the vampire with a restored soul who becomes the great love of Buffy's life, and reluctant sometime-helper Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), the most pathologically self-absorbed beauty queen on campus.

The balance of horror and humor in the first season is very well managed, and the cast click together with remarkable chemistry and joie de vivre. The only flaw in these early episodes is the sometimes laughably low budget, though the show beautifully compensates with clever theatrical tricks, the most notable of which is making the underground Order of Aurelius appear much larger and more populated than it is by the use of a multitude of candles and limbo lighting.

The best way to get into the magic that is Buffy is from the beginning - and this is it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Spiffiest of spiffy
Review: Even pond scum can enjoy Buffy, as evidenced by all the mold growing on my food when I watch it, so surely brilliant people like you can enjoy the wonder of Buffy. Okay, even an obbsessed otaku like me can admit the first season is a bit rough, but chock-full of jokes and chocolaty goodness! A must for anyone who enjoys the show, whether they have the money for it or not. (I know *I* didn't.) It's good to see where it all starts, and a great resource for early fan-fic, and popcorn-munching fun with friends. Get it. This is you consciouness speaking. Get it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Own It, Love It!!
Review: Buffy Season 1....
I bought Season 1 and can't wait for Season 2. Season 1 introduces you to the main characters and is TERRIFIC!!
My 2 children and I have now seen Seasons 1-6 (or at least the most recent episode) and we all 3 agree that BTVS is the BEST!!
The first Buffy/Angel meeting on Season 1 is so great, one would never guess what's to come. We LOVE BTVS and can't wait to collect every season, so anyone who loves, or even likes, Buffy, this is a DVD set you can't pass up. For those of you whom have never seen it, buy it, watch it, and I guarantee you you will be BTVS Fans for life!
