Editorial Review:
Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) looks like your typical perky high-schooler, and like most, she has her secret fears and anxieties. However, while most teens are worrying about their next date, their next zit, or their next term paper, Buffy's angsting over the next vampire she has to slay. See, Buffy, a young woman with superhuman strength, is the "chosen one," and she must help rid the world of evil, namely by staking demons. The exceptional first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer introduces us to the treacherous world of Sunnydale High School (where Buffy moved after torching her previous high school's gym). The characters there include "watcher" Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) and the original "Scooby Gang" members--friendly geek Xander (Nicholas Brendon), computer whiz Willow (Alyson Hannigan), and snobbish popular girl Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter)--who aid Buffy in her quest. Those used to the darker tone that Buffy took in its later seasons will be surprised by the lighter feeling these first 12 episodes have--it's kind of like Buffy 90210 as the cast grapples with regular teen problems in addition to saving the world from demonic darkness. Fans of the show will enjoy the crisp writing, the phenomenal chemistry of the cast (already well-established within the first few episodes), and the introduction to characters that would stay for many seasons, including moody vampire Angel (David Boreanaz). Through it all, Gellar carries the series with amazing confidence, whether conveying the despair of high school or dispatching various demons--she's one of TV's most distinctive and strongest heroines. --Mark Englehart

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Buffy Season 1 DVD - A Must Have!
The beginning Season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a must have for any fan of the Series. There is a lot of "background" info that lays the foundation for the future seasons. The Season One collection I purchased through Amazon.com came in perfect condition with very little wait for its receipt. I would strongly recommend the entire collection of Buffy DVD's including the spin off series "Angel". I would also recommend purchasing thru Amazon.com.
Rating: - Fave Season
This is definately my fave season of Buffy, its very upbeat and the episodes are so addicting! I look forward to buying season 2!
Rating: - Beginnings of the Best Show
Same as previous 1st season release but instead of folding out to see pictures they put them in small cases for much easier access. This was filmed in 1996 in full before making it to tv in March 1997. Sarah Michelle Gellar got to look over footage and after filming the finale she actually reshot scenes from the first episode with her meeting of Giles to seem less angry, so nice hair changes. The first season feels very fresh and innoncent. Must have. 12 episodes.
Rating: - A must for any Buffy fan!!
I can sum this up in one word. FUN. Being able to watch back to back Buffy episodes commercial free in movie format makes this a must have for any fan of the series.

At first I didn't receive my order so I followed up with customer service and they checked and told me it had been lost in the mail and sent out a second order and it came. I was happy with it, it was in excellent condition. Thank you very much.
