From its charming and angst-ridden first season to the darker, apocalyptic final one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer succeeds on many levels, and in a fresher and more authentic way than the shows that came before or after it. How lucky, then, that with the release of its boxed set of seasons 1-7, you can have the estimable pleasure of watching a near-decade of Buffy in any order you choose. (And we have some ideas about how that should be done.)
First: rest assured that there's no shame in coming to Buffy late, even if you initially turned your nose up at the winsome Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking the hell out of vampires (in Buffy-lingo, vamps), demons, and other evil-doers. Perhaps you did so because, well, it looked sort of science-fiction-like with all that monster latex. Start with season 3 and see that Buffy offers something for everyone, and the sooner you succumb to it, the quicker you'll appreciate how textured and riveting a drama it is.
Why season 3? Because it offers you a winning cast of characters who have fallen from innocence: their hearts have been broken, their egos trampled in typically vicious high-school style, and as a result, they've begun to realize how fallible they are. As much as they try, there are always more monsters, or a bigger evil. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the core crew remains something of a unit--there's the smart girl, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) who dreams of saving the day by downloading the plans to City Hall's sewer tunnels and mapping a route to safety. There are the ne'r do wells--the vampire Spike (James Marsters), who both clashes with and aspires to love Buffy; the tortured and torturing Angel (David Boreanz); the pretty, popular girl with an empty heart (Charisma Carpenter); and the teenage everyman, Xander (Nicholas Brendon).
Then there's Buffy herself, who in the course of seven seasons morphs from a sarcastic teenager in a minidress to a heroine whose tragic flaw is an abiding desire to be a "normal" girl. On a lesser note, with the boxed set you can watch the fashion transformation of Buffy from mall rat to Prada-wearing, kickboxing diva with enviable highlights. (There was the unfortunate bob of season 2, but it's a forgivable lapse.) At least the storyline merits the transformations: every time Buffy has to end a relationship she cuts her hair, shedding both the pain and her vulnerability.
In addition to the well-wrought teenage emotional landscape, Buffy deftly takes on more universal themes--power, politics, death, morality--as the series matures in seasons 4-6. And apart from a few missteps that haven't aged particularly well ("I Robot" in season 1 comes to mind), most episodes feel as harrowing and as richly drawn as they did at first viewing. That's about as much as you can ask for any form of entertainment: that it offer an escape from the viewer's workaday world and entry into one in which the heroine (ideally one with leather pants) overcomes demons far more troubling than one's own. --Megan Halverson

If you are a fan of the hit television show Buffy The Vampire Slayer then this the box set for you. It comes with all the seasons and a ton of extra's. Someone mentioned about the discs being scratched or messed up. What I did was using a disc cleaner that is safe for DVD's and it stopped skipping and freezing up. It happened to me on the first disc of season one, but so far the rest of is fine.

I have seen many TV shows. Just about every drama/sci-fi/fantasy/action/adventure show to come on TV since the 90s and all I can say is BUFFY is the best one I have seen. The characters are charming and identifiable and the dialogue is ACTUALLY funny and intelligent, and the season-long arcs that develop are intriguing and always fun. Sarah Michelle Gellars sells the teenage girl developing into a heroine act perfectly and the rest of the ensemble make it all the more compelling. Whatever you're ... Read More

This set is definitely for you Buffy fans that do not own already the 7 seasons. Beautiful prints, and the minimum space that takes, makes it shiny between you DVD library.
I had already Season 1 and 2, but after seeing this box set, didn't cared to buy them again. I have already bought the Angel Complete Collection set box also, that will sit beside this.
Does it worth it to buy this again if you have already the seasons: not at all. It only offers an additional DVD with some extras, ... Read More

Im a relatively late comer to the Buffyverse. I hadnt ever seen an episode until earlier this year when a friend of mine told me that I had to watch the show. After about 12 years of hearing how great it was I caved in and downloaded the first season and loved it so much I bought the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Collector's set.
What drew me into the show were the characters, the amazing writing and the great pacing. At the end of every episode I have been entertained as much as is possible in ... Read More

I am so glad they came out with the box set of the entire series. I am an avid DVD collector and am very glad that they made a smaller version of the entire series to allow me more space on my shelves. Buffy will forever be my favorite TV show and I'm glad to have all the DVDs to just pop in whenever I want!
