Funny enough I actually did watch Buffy more when it made the switch to UPN. LOL I LOVED those "Buffy lives" promos!

Then I watched the reruns a lot on FX.

I have such a soft spot for SMG. Buffy was one of my favourite shows growing up.

I didn't watch Buffy until I was a sophomore in college actually. I wish I had watched it when it first aired but it started when I was pretty young and my parents were super strict about what I was allowed to watch until I was like 16. I do remember some of these ads tho, especially that Buffy Lives one. It's super cool!!
