15 Facts About 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the most popular and influential television shows of the past 30 years. Joss Whedon’s fame carried him to Firefly, Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and both the best and worst Avengers movies before constant claims of harassment and accusation brought him low. But even with Whedon generally despised, there were dozens of more talented people and hundreds of just as talented folks (along with thousands of less talented folks) working on the show, whose gifts should still be celebrated. In other words, Whedon sucks, Buffy is still a great show about the writer of Mockingjay coming to school with a rifle, and how if you’re a teenager, having a lot of hot sex can turn a house into a jungle? Some of the metaphors don’t hold fully, but despite that, let’s take a look back at one of the best shows of the ’90s and today, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
