"T.V reaches a new low"

I was sitting watching Sky. Then Buffy came on. Why not?

I regret it.

There was singing. And dancing.

And I can pinpoint the exact moment when it got unbearable. When the lesbians started making stars shoot from their fingers.

AND the red devil guy looked like Ainsley Harriot.

Pikeys, the lot of them.

I thought it was great. It was hilarious and both constructed and performed beautifully. Ok, so they're not all fantastic singers, but they all sang and to me thats whats important. It would have been easy to hire trained singers to do the songs but the cast sang and danced about instead!

Admittedly, I think that regular watchers would take a lot more from this episode, nearly all the songs had references to previous events and storylines, but still.

I think this summed up how Buffy is supposed to be watched. It is fundamentally stupid and the writers know it. It'll pretend to have serious storylines and character developments throughout, but its just daft at heart.

Buffy rules, its wise and funny. So there :op

I thought it was one of the best episodes, very good

Yes it was a one off special.

I thought it was great! One of my fav Buffy eps!

And all that sang, DID sing themselves! (I've got the behind the scenes video!) It was only Willow who didn't really sing, guess she can't, and Buffy's sister hardly sang because she can't sing!

Oh and I found out yesterday that Anthony Head has just released an album! LOL! Can't wait to hear it!

Keep watching Buffy! It's a BRILLIANT show!

It was a one off show. Joss has always wanted to do a musical episode. It has to be rated as one of the best episodes. All the actors/actresses did sing there own songs. They spent hours and hours at Joss's house working on the right type of songs for each actor.

Heh, Buffy has been a bit weird lately...although to be honest, I've never liked it that much.

They're all computer tweaked. Bollix can they all sing that well. Anyway, is this going to be a permanent theme? Because if so I'm never ever watching it again.

I saw that last night, and I thought it was funny! Especialy when Anya started singing about Bunnies and when Spike and Giles were singing, lol!!
Yes, Buffy is a good singer and probably didn't need much to be done to her voice with a computer. Definitley not as much as English pop bands do!!

I don't watch either of them & don't have digital, sky etc.

But I have reached a conclusion:

IT'S ALL MIME I TELL'S YA!

MIMMMMMMMMME!

Has Angel had a all-singing all-dancing

No Angel haven't done a singing one they wont. Angel isn't really for gals both are good, i like Buffy better though i only watch 30 Minutes of Angel though switch over to Freinds
