We've recently been rewatching them, this time with our teenagers and I've really enjoyed them.

Have fun!

I started watching Buffy aged 32 when I was on Mat Leave. Was a good distraction.

Buffy is one of the best things ever on TV. I re-watched them all last year in my 40s - can't wait to let DS watch it too :-)

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 27/12/2012 18:16

Aww she's jut met angel for the first time! Grin

Ooh I loved Buffy! I was thinking of introducing ds1 to Buffy, he is 8 is that too young? He loves Doctor Who.

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 27/12/2012 18:18

I wasn't even a teenager when it first started and I originally watched it (late 20's iirc) so definitely watch and enjoy Grin

I first watched Buffy at age 30. I'm now 42, have owned the seven season box set since it was released on DVD, and am currently at the end of season one for the eighth time! I unashamedly enjoy it, laugh at it, cry at it and think the writing is incredibly good, and rave about it to those who haven't watched it, most of whom clearly think I'm bonkers. I really don't care. It's ace. Watch every episode with a clear conscience OP and enjoy it!

Dawndonna · 27/12/2012 18:19

We watched them all from love film last year. It was great!

Wommer · 27/12/2012 18:19

Awwww this takes me back! Loved this as a wannabe alternative (obv very cool in a moody wears too much black sort of way) teenager Grin
I was defo emo before emo was invented!

Stupid Netflix doesn't have it Sad

I own it from loving it as a 20-something. I've been trying to convince my DD to watch it for months as I know she loves Dr Who. She watched Bones when bored one evening, read that David Borneaz was in Buffy and wanted to watch it finally as a result. She thinks it is fab and I keep going around saying "I told you so!"

As far as an 8 year old..... a lot of Buffys are rated 15 so I'm unsure about that one.

PearlyWhites · 27/12/2012 18:23

Buffy stupid auto correct

TandB · 27/12/2012 18:23

Do it! I watched Buffy for the first time in my mid-20s. I finally finished the last series when I was in my 30s.

I might watch it again now!

TandB · 27/12/2012 18:23

Not that it is to ogle Spike or anything, oh no, not me!

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 27/12/2012 18:25

Oo I forgot about spike ahhhh mmmm

In his coat.

Binkybix · 27/12/2012 18:26

I've just started watching Angel for the first time - never to old!!

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 27/12/2012 18:28

Buffy's brilliant! Have to laugh thouh at the sheer number of times both Spike and Angel get chained up naked Grin Evidently teenage girls are a bit kinkier than we give them credit for.

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 27/12/2012 18:29

I've never watched angel, will start after all of buffy!

OP posts:
TandB · 27/12/2012 18:31

Angel's a bit darker.

But Spike is in it. In his coat.

InNeedOfBrandyButter · 27/12/2012 18:35

I can't believe it started in 97! Fuck I feel old and I'm only 24Shock

If it wasn't for Buffy I wouldn't live in the UK or be married or have a son.

soontobeburns · 27/12/2012 18:43

I never watched it first time around as I was too young (only 7 when it started) I am debating about getting the dvds as it seems like I would love it.

I thinly I might now lol thanks op and no you are never too old.

Btw Hex is an awesome show :-)

Tee2072 · 27/12/2012 18:44

Hex is crap compared to Buffy!
