Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a great blend of sci-fi, action, drama, and comedy. For me, every episode was like watching a movie. This series will indeed be missed.

(Goes to watch the first season of The X-Files)

I loved this show for the first 3 seasons. Now, whenever I watch it, it just seems lame and I feel embarrassed for liking it in the first place

How can you be embarrassed of liking Buffy at one time, but admit you still like Ren & Stimpy on another thread?

Say whatever you want about me, but you leave Ren & Stimpy out of this!

I remember liking for the first few seasons. Then I watched the whole rest of the series for one reason: James Marsters.
Then angel, which also sucked in its own special warm way. But spike was there so...

I always felt that what ruined Buffy was taking Angel out of the show. Spike was better as a bad guy bitch that causes a bit of trouble, gets put in his place, and then goes away before you could get sick of him

After Angel left the show, they tried to go with the “goody, goody” boyfriend (Riley), which didn't work out because everyone hated him. Spike was their desperate "Angel bad boy" substitute, to try and regain some Buffy/Bad Boy chemistry in the show, except Spike sucks, and he was even more of a whiney tool when he was constantly idolizing Buffy.

P.S.

The first 3 seasons of Angel kicked the shit out of any Buffy episode, however to be fair Buffy's series finale was much more well done than Angel's. The Angel series went really bad when Angel became the head of Wolfram and Heart, that sucked.
