Buffy...
Today is the 10 year anniversary of the first ep of Buffy premiering on The WB. Because of that I watched Once More With Feeling which I still say is one of the best ep's. ever on Buffy. It's just sooo brilliant. :)
These two things are from the Buffy entry on Wikipedia :
The fall 2001 musical episode "Once More, with Feeling" received plaudits, but was omitted from Emmy nomination ballots by accident. It has since been featured on Channel 4's "100 Greatest Musicals"
How was that by accident? Anyways, how cool is that latter part!!!? I think that's so cool. :D
These post-Buffy shows include Dead Like Me and Joan of Arcadia. Bryan Fuller, the creator of Dead Like Me, said that "[Buffy] showed that young women could be in situations that were both fantastic and relatable, and instead of shunting women off to the side, it put them at the center."
Buffy, while itself taking certain elements from the classic series of Doctor Who (1963-1989) (even referencing it in one episode), became a blueprint for the revived series (2005-), and executive producer Russell T. Davies has said
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer showed the whole world, and an entire sprawling industry, that writing monsters and demons and end-of-the world isn't hack-work, it can challenge the best. Joss Whedon raised the bar for every writer-not just genre/niche writers, but every single one of us."
I love both those guys, and a few days ago I actually was talking about how I RTD was like this close to becoming as brilliant in my eyes as Joss Whedon. lmao. That's so brilliant. :) I LOVE that.
Anyways after that I started watching My Fair Lady because my younger brother was somewhat fascinated by the singing and dancing, so I asked if he wanted to see some more. But since Buffy only has that one ep, I asked if he wanted to see this one because it's like hello, a great flick with Audrey Hepburn (who was freaky talented and pretty) and stuff. Just hope he holds out till' some singing starts. lol.
Buuuut I hope anyone who has Lifetime and has gotten to the end of my entry remembers to watch Blood Ties tomorrow. ;) Or even just TiVo or whatever it so they can watch it later. Just give it a shot, people!!
