-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

These make me feel so old. I remember the WB being shady with that 'series finale' stuff. And how distinctive the red Buffy Lives poster was. I would love a little print of that, come to think of it.

Buffy was absolutely everything to me between age 11 and 22. I was only a few weeks from my 12th birthday when Buffy started and I lived and breathed that show. I went to uni the year the finale aired and my late bff bonded over our shared love of Buffy. We were actually in the middle of a Buffy and Angel retrospective when she died in 2007. I didn't know this when I met my wife but she had actually been pretty popular in the Willow/Tara fic fandom. You guys should see my Buffy/celeb scrapbooks from my teen years. Mega embarrassing and also mega cool; like the article about Porta de Rossi talking about her boyfriend or the one where Dina Lohan promises she will take Lindsay out of showbiz if she gets spoiled.

How I feel about Buffy has changed a lot over the years - let's just say I'm very glad I have no fandom tattoos - but it will always have a special place in my heart even though I now see some of the characters and episodes and relationships very differently and very negatively.
