Amazon.com From its charming and angst-ridden first season to the darker, apocalyptic final one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer succeeds on many levels, and in a fresher and more authentic way than the shows that came before or after it. How lucky, then, that with the release of its boxed set of seasons 1-7, you can have the estimable pleasure of watching a near-decade of Buffy in any order you choose. (And we have some ideas about how that should be done.) First: rest assured that there's no shame in coming to Buffy late, even if you initially turned your nose up at the winsome Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking the hell out of vampires (in Buffy-lingo, vamps), demons, and other evil-doers. Perhaps you did so because, well, it looked sort of science-fiction-like with all that monster latex. Start with season 3 and see that Buffy offers something for everyone, and the sooner you succumb to it, the quicker you'll appreciate how textured and riveting a drama it is. Why season 3? Because it offers you a winning cast of characters who have fallen from innocence: their hearts have been broken, their egos trampled in typically vicious high-school style, and as a result, they've begun to realize how fallible they are. As much as they try, there are always more monsters, or a bigger evil. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the core crew remains something of a unit--there's the smart girl, Willow (Alyson Hannigan) who dreams of saving the day by downloading the plans to City Hall's sewer tunnels and mapping a route to safety. There are the ne'r do wells--the vampire Spike (James Marsters), who both clashes with and aspires to love Buffy; the tortured and torturing Angel (David Boreanz); the pretty, popular girl with an empty heart (Charisma Carpenter); and the teenage everyman, Xander (Nicholas Brendon). Then there's Buffy herself, who in the course of seven seasons morphs from a sarcastic teenager in a minidress to a heroine whose tragic flaw is an abiding desire to be a "normal" girl. On a lesser note, with the boxed set you can watch the fashion transformation of Buffy from mall rat to Prada-wearing, kickboxing diva with enviable highlights. (There was the unfortunate bob of season 2, but it's a forgivable lapse.) At least the storyline merits the transformations: every time Buffy has to end a relationship she cuts her hair, shedding both the pain and her vulnerability. In addition to the well-wrought teenage emotional landscape, Buffy deftly takes on more universal themes--power, politics, death, morality--as the series matures in seasons 4-6. And apart from a few missteps that haven't aged particularly well ("I Robot" in season 1 comes to mind), most episodes feel as harrowing and as richly drawn as they did at first viewing. That's about as much as you can ask for any form of entertainment: that it offer an escape from the viewer's workaday world and entry into one in which the heroine (ideally one with leather pants) overcomes demons far more troubling than one's own. --Megan Halverson

I miss this show February 7, 2010 D. Novak This collection of disks includes all 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I had only watched a couple of them before and I greatly enjoyed watching these! I am very glad I purchased this box set!
The only downside was that my XBox, which is what I use to watch videos, had trouble reading a couple of the disks. This could just be my system though since the disks worked just fine when watching on my computer.
In every generation, there is an excellent TV show, and The Chosen has it all! February 5, 2010 Enrique G. Puig (Mexico City) I have been a huge BtVS fan for more than a decade, even following the comic book tie-ins. But living in Mexico City it's hard to get the DVDs, and harder at a reasonable price. So I said "What the hell?" and went for the ultimate Buffy DVD set and was pretty satisfied with it, you get the complete series, some extras, a little recap booklet and a stunning box for storage, and mostly, thousands of hours of fun with one of the most revolutionary TV shows of the last couple decades!
Comentarios Para Latinos Interesados February 2, 2010 Bancolombia Este producto me parece genial!!! No solo por que viene la serie completa sino por que es Zona 1, lo cual permite mejor calidad. Todas vienen subtituladas en español y de las 7 temporadas, de la 3 a la 7 estan dobladas.
El material extra es intereante, pero lo mejor es lo compacto del empaque.
Se lo recomiendo a todos porque la entrega fue muy rapida... anuncia un mes pero llego en 15 dias.
Great Gift February 2, 2010 R Michael Rogue (Syracuse, NY) This was ordered as a Xmas gift and I couldn't have been any more pleased. It arrived in perfect condition and much sooner than I expected. My friend was thrilled with the special features on most of the discs (She still has not been through the entire collection) and will spend hours on this 40 disc set. She tells me that she can't wait to finish the set so she can start again and that it is the best Xmas gift she has ever received. Well worth the money.
Great Show, Bad Luck w DVDs January 30, 2010 Felicia Levine (Ohio, USA) I already knew I loved this show so I knew I would love the content of the product. However this is the fourth time I've gotten a dvd from Amazon that has a damaged disc (computer skips over damaged section and tells me so). I'm returning it to get a replacement copy, and Amazon has always been really good with handling these situations, but four times is getting annoying. In general always watch the dvds as soon as possible, especially large box sets because you will have a short time period for returns (I lucked out since I bought it during the holiday time period so I got 2 months).
