20 years ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered and told us that nothing is as scary as real life.
Fourteen years after its final episode, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is still my favorite TV series and essential viewing in times of dread and distress (I’m watching it again).
My top 5 episodes:
1. Once More With Feeling (The Musical)
2. The Body (Joyce Summers died)
3. Hush (The one that was totally silent)
4. Becoming, parts 1 and 2 (Where she had to dispatch Angel)
5. Fool for Love (Spike-centric)
Trivia: The name Buffy Anne Summers paid homage to Scott Summers of the X-Men.
If Joss Whedon had retired after Buffy he would already be in our pantheon but he went on to do Firefly, Avengers, Much Ado About Nothing, and is nowhere near done yet.
Writers Marlon James, Kelly Link, Susanna Clarke and others on why they love Buffy.

I was planning to blog on this as well. :)
Top 5 is too hard for me, so I have it at Top 10. In no particular order except for The Body at #1:
1. The Body
2. Once More With Feeling
3. Graduation Day (Parts 1 and 2)
4. Hush
5. Passion
6. The Prom
7. Earshot
8. What’s My Line, Parts 1 and 2
9. The Wish
10. Doppelgangland
Innocence really should be there, but I always have a hard time watching it. I mean that in a good way.
Though not really part of my Top 10, I’m extremely fond of Inca Mummy Girl (“So Ampata. You’re a girl.” “Yes, for many years now.”), Reptile Boy, Witch, Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered, Dead Man’s Party, and Grave.
