-Buffy The Vampire Slayer aired for 5 seasons on TheWB before moving over to UPN where it would air its final 2 seasons. This wasn't your usual 'network cancels show, new network takes pity and picks up canceled show'. With it being TBT lets look back at the high profile move between networks

idk if buffy ever moved in the uk, it was always sky one but then i remember watching older eps on bbc2 after the simpsons, maybe?? that was a wild a time and totally inappropriate considering my age

I only had the basic channels when I was young and I lived for Buffy on BBC2. I would get so frustrated when it got pre-empted for other stuff.

Yeah in retrospect it seemed to be on pretty early on BBC2 considering the nature of the show. I remember the new eps were on Sky One for sure because I used to tape it and give the tapes to my english teacher as she didn't have Sky lol.

It would air first on Sky and then it'd hit the BBC - once in a tea time slot where it was heavily edited, then there'd be a later night uncut re-run

Yeah, I remember this! The Simpsons was on BBC2 at 6pm and Buffy would follow it. I was definitely too young to be watching/it should not have been on at that time.
