"I thinking of buying Angel or Buffy The Vampire DVD boxsets soon need advice"

Im thinking of getting a DVD boxset of Buffy or most probably Angel, because I have missed nearly whole 3 seasons of the show + I enjoyed the few episodes I saw before Channel 4 stopped screening it. A website called CDWOW! are selling Buffy and Angel DVD boxsets at like £40.00 + free postage which is an excellent price, don't think Id find them any cheaper (beside Special Reserve don't sell these DVD anyway) theyre like £80.00 in most shops. Anyway I have seen Buffy from season 1-4 I haven't seen any of season 5 so which ones do you recommend for those who might have the boxsets? Thanks.

I liked the Buffy The Vampire series seasons 1 - 4 were good season 3 being the best in my opinion, however season 4 wasn't that good though it had weak storylines and that Riley annoyed me, being in all the "love" scenes with Sarah (Buffy) Michelle Gellar (lucky ****)+ he was a lame character.

Damn you! Ok, try this one...

Nyer nyer!

I would personnaly buy The Goddfather trilogy.

The Ring had the 18 cert, because Trepkos put his hand through the midgy demon's heart. Love that ep.

Anyway, Myst, you are of course entitled to your opinion. Except in this case when I am clearly right and you are clearly wrong (bonus prize for telling me which Buffy ep that's from). Buffy has not been bad since Season 4, which was in itself a brilliant series. Pangs, for example, is close behind The Zeppo for funniest episoder ever. Hush got nominated for an Emmy and Restless is Joss Whedon at his best. Season 5 is class as well. As a Xander fan, I loved that ep where he got split in two, and The Gift is superb. And Season 6 is brilliant (because Xander saves the world, heh). Come on, Two To Go/Grave had you going. Only Becoming surpasses that Willow/Xander moment on top of the bluff. And what about the musical?

I still reckon Seasons 1/2/3 are the best, because it's Buffy at it's best. I prefer Buffy/Angel to Buffy/Spike as well, so that has a factor.

Nope, just the one episode has an 18 certificate, because the BBFC has a huge stick up it's asss,thats all.

Thanks Mystique sounds like it's awesome, especially as the series has more action which Buffy I feel lacked in later seasons. I have only ever seen 1 episode of Angel, the 1 where Boreanaz kicks a vampire out of a office building window + I like the theme for the series more. Just like to know, I noticed the seasons of Angel after 1st are rated "15" where the 1 season is an "18" has the adult style been toned down in the 2, 3 + 4 seasons? Thanks.

Yeah, I've got it on VHS (Gah) and it's loaaads better than buffy.
It's a lot more violent than Buffy too (Hense the 18 certificate on one first box set)
The main storyline doesn't kick in until later in the season but it's still brilliant.

Mystique Im waiting patiently for my Angel season 1 dvd boxset to arrive, you said you have got the 1st season right or atleast seen it? did you think it was good, storylines + fights etc, people tell the Angel series is excellent and is better than Buffy. Im also glad Buffy and Faith make a apprerance is the season too.

Not for me, I've watched Buffy from the beginning and when I heard there was going to be an Angel spin-off with funnier-darker-more actiony storylines I almost wet myself (ew) David Boreanaz being nekkid is just a bonus...actually, he isn't even nekkid all that much...

Am I watching the wrong program?
