Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) is my favorite television show, ever. Although it started slowly and the first season and a half weren't stellar, the series matured into something brilliant as well as unique. The ultimate in mixed genres, Buffy successfully combined horror, comedy, satire, romance, and melodrama. And it has, in my opinion, the wittiest dialogue ever, period. Buffy is the reason I became obsessed with reviewing television shows. Without Buffy, this site might not be here at all.
