I believe the last programming I watched was either 1996 or 1999. I recall Friends gaining popularity at the time, and I remember The Telltale Head episode of The Simpsons. I'm just grateful that I was able to escape the whole reality television fad, and resultantly I tend to approach TV with a degree of caution.

I did tune in to Firefly about a decade ago and AMC's less-than-stellar remake of 1960s cult classic series, The Prisoner in 2009, but those aside I've not seen much, Buffy included.

I'm curious why you'd suggest that particular series for me. I don't really do well with melodrama or fantastical teenage escapades. I tend to stick to documentaries and socio-cultural criticism. I appreciate the suggestion but don't think Buffy would be quite my bag.

So you're one of those joyless ****s who doesn't do fiction. Eat ****.

ISB, I'm going to assume you've seen the classic The World At War, narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier? If not, get on it post haste. Other than that, I can recommend Walking With Dinosaurs, Journey to the Edge of the Universe, Alien Planet, Robert Redford's The West, The Making of the Mob, The Men Who Built America, The Nazis: A Warning from History and the incredible Hunting Hitler.

People who don't like Buffy aren't real people.

Literally the only thing someone has ever said to me that was a dealbreaker was "I don't like Buffy."

Watching the early seasons of Buffy (while in a blanket burrito with at least one cat on you) is one of the best self-soothing activities. Buffy4Lyfe
