 "The best $190 I ever spent" | 2008-10-03 |
| - Reviewed By theonlyemilybear |
I put off buying this collection for awhile. It's pretty expensive for an average Amazon purchase, so I argued that I just couldn't spend it. But, I'm a huge, huge fan of the show and I found out that I was spending more money and valuable places in my Netflix queue on Buffy episodes. So, I finally had enough one day and bought it. And I don't regret it at all.
Lots of other people have evaluated the show, so I'm not going to do that. What I am going to do if give you an idea of what to expect in the actual collection.
The pictures are accurate: it's a boxed set with all seven seasons forming one Buffy cast shot. The same extras that come on the individual seasons are included on their original discs. But, as a bonus, you get a booklet with an episode-by-episode breakdown, a note from Joss, and an extra disc that has extras not released before this Collection.
The only downside to this collection is that the box is not particularly sturdy. I don't recommend leaving it open at any time. I only had my set a week and already the box lid is coming off because it was left open. It opens in a rather strange way, so the whole thing will collapse if it's not closed. So, construction is a little iffy, but not so bad that the set isn't worthwhile.

| This every bit the beautiful and impresive package that I imagined it would be. It looks as great on my bookshelf as it does on my TV screen. Seems like alot of cash (It took a couple of years to finally be able to aford the cost) but, being a huge fan of this show, it was well worth it. |

| Buffy the vampire slayer is an oddity. Its a show that had terrible plots, terrible acting and terrible production value yet has a following here on amazon. A show so bad that it was cancelled twice and no 3rd willing to take a chance on it. This is clear dumming down of sci fi. The onluy bright spot was Sarah Michelle Gellar.But even she couldnt save this show from disaster. My advice is there is much better sci fi than buffy. save your money for something better. something good |

| Shortly after my 52nd birthday (May, 2008), I received the complete series DVDs. I had never watched the show, but many people recommended it to me, since I liked Firefly/Serenity and science fiction in general.br /br /I figured I'd watch them to fill the summer void. I'm retired, and have a lot of free time to allocate as I choose.br /br /I started watching June 3rd... and ended up devouring all 144 episodes in 10 days. At the end, I just wanted to hug the DVDs. I've since watched the series four times in as many months.br /br /The program is incredible. I didn't really connect with the characters until the 7th/8th episode, but after that I just couldn't get enough.br /br /I've been a science fiction fan all my life. I've read all the greats. I've watched all the movies. I've seen all the TV programs. No book, movie or program has made me feel a genuine emotional connection to the characters the way this program has. I've laughed, I've cried, I've been shocked, confused and amazed.br /br /I have since discovered that the show won many awards (33), and even more nominations (99). Not enough. It will never be enough.br /br /Thank-you to everyone involved in creating this. I'm now a fan for life. |

| I was a huge fan of the series when it was on tv! It's fun to go back and watch the episodes and see the characters develop, plus it's nice to be able to watch your favorite episodes whenever you want! The only thing I didn't like was that on some of the DVDs you have to wait for an animation sequence before you can watch the episode and there is no way to skip past it and just get right to the episode, it can get annoying. But overall I would really recommend it. |

 "GREAT! But some discs don't work!" | 2008-08-25 |

My Husband gave me this complete set as a Christmas gift. I was so excited...until I got to season 3 and two discs didn't work. I immediately started playing them all and found similar non-readable discs in seasons 4,5,& 6. My husband emailed Amazon immediately, but was told that it was past the date for exchange due to defect.
This was a lesson learned: Even if your purchase is a gift, OPEN IT! Make sure all of the discs work or you will be stuck having to purchase whole seasons for just one disc.
The extras in this set are awesome! |

Buffy is a fun show that's really enjoyable for most everybody. The series packaging is the best I've seen out of any show, much better then Stargate SG-1's.
I have found that the episodes are pretty dark at some points and it makes it hard to see what's going on. I just assume that's the way they had taped the show, and not anything wrong with the discs themselves. Otherwise, I'm extremely pleased with the purchase. |

| Buffy was canceled by 2 networks. The show became an over the top pc program with bad scripts and bad acting. Sarah Michelle Gellar was so wasted in this show it no wonder she couldnt wait to get out of it. Save your money and not by this. Its not good at all in every way you can think of. There is much better sci fi and thrillers out there. |
