Almost three decades ago, Joss Whedon transformed a movie he penned, but was dissatisfied with, into an exemplary and groundbreaking TV series. Buffy the Vampire Slayer not only influenced countless sci-fi and fantasy projects but also elevated the status of genre television. Now, excitement is building as Variety reports that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in final negotiations to return as Buffy Summers in a Hulu revival.
In anticipation of this legacy sequel, we're taking a nostalgic journey back to the original series, which debuted on the WB network on March 10, 1997. Buffy the Vampire Slayer proved that compelling television could be crafted from the adventures of a teenage girl fighting vampires, demons, and other supernatural threats. The show's ensemble cast redefined the concept of a diverse team, blending teen and college-age angst with the constant threat of an impending apocalypse.
To celebrate the potential return of this iconic series, we're revisiting the best episodes from the original run. These episodes showcase the finest moments of Buffy and the "Scooby Gang" navigating through humor, drama, and everything in between. Note that we've included two-parters as single entries on our list. So, without further ado, here are the top episodes of "beep me, bite me" Buffy!
