I have just finished the second season of Buffy, and
I have watched a bit of the first season of Angel on TV...
So I now that Angel is leaving.
My question is, should I finish the hole Buffy series before I start with Angel, or does the shows melt together at any point?

Hey,

Angel started after the end of season 3 of Buffy. You should watch the whole of season 3 of Buffy and then watch one episode of buffy season 4 and one episode of season 1 of Angel and alternate like that due to some crossover episodes between Buffy and Angel.

I'm not sure whether you should start with a Buffy episode or an Angel episode and I think there may have been a two week gap between the two series starting.

So I'd say make a start on season 3 of Buffy and maybe someone can help you with the details of which episode of season4/1 to start on.

Here's how it breaks down...

Buffy seasons 1-3.
Buffy season 4 and Angel season 1.
Buffy season 5 and Angel season 2.
Buffy season 6 and Angel season 3.
Buffy season 7 and Angel season 4.
Angel season 5.

If you don't want to be 'spoiled' for any plot lines or story arcs, that's how you should watch it.

There are a few cross overs, but even when there isn't there's usually some arc or plot that threads between the two and links them closely.

Usually it's safe to watch a Buffy episode, then the joining Angel episode (ie - episode 1 of Buffy, episode 1 pg Angel), because most stories will begin on Buffy and carry over to Angel, however due to screening times and such, Buffy S7 and Angel S4 get a bit dicey time wise.

I used to have the timeline they should be watched in, I'll try and dig it out for you, okay?

Spoileriffic stuff here, in my answer, so imma tag it as such.

Select to view spoiler:

Actually it was bad beer - why ?

Because it was the only time I really found buffy attractive.. when she was (wait for it..)
CAVE BUFFY!

Also, at the very end where wanna-be boytoy is sliming on his transparent apologies and we were rolling our eyes waiting for the inevitable forgiveness... we started chanting..
HIT HIM, HIT HIM, HIT HIM!

So when she clouted him, we hit the floor laughing our asses off for nearly ten minutes - one of my most pleasant memories of the entire series, that is.

Hush was pretty durn good too, Anya cracked me up.
