Seasons 2 and 3 were the best, thats why ;)
You should see my copy of season 2...all battered up and worn out. Looks terrible compaired to the rest of my sets. Like season 7 is all pretty and shiny...but thats because no one watches it in my house.
I pull it out to watch Lies my Parents told me...on occasion. But other then that, it collects dust.

People are way too harsh on S7. Yes, it was one of the weaker seasons, but it is by no means *terrible*. I personally think S1 and S4 are both worse than S7. There's a lot of good stuff in there like Selfless, CWDP, Storyteller, Lies My Parents Told Me, and Chosen. Some more episodes I really liked include Lessons, Him, Dirty Girls, and Touched. Yes the writing and continuity was *beginning* to slip, but overall I still find a lot to love about S7. It's still 10 times better than anything else on TV.
Here's my Top 15 Buffy Episodes list:
1. 2x21 & 2x22 - Becoming
2. 6x07 - Once More, With Feeling
3. 2x17 - Passion
4. 2x14 - Innocence
5. 4x22 - Restless
6. 5x17 - The Body
7. 5x22 - The Gift
8. 4x10 - Hush
9. 3x21 & 3x22 - Graduation Day
10. 5x07 - Fool For Love
11. 7x05 - Selfless
12. 6x13 - Dead Things
13. 7x07 - Conversations With Dead People
14. 7x17 - Lies My Parents Told Me
15. 7x22 - Chosen
*Edit: I swapped Hush and The Body
Runner-ups:
3x08 - Lover’s Walk
3x09 - The Wish
3x18 - Earshot
6x03 - After Life
6x19, 6x20, 6x21, and 6x22 - Seeing Red, Villains, Two to Go, and Grave
7x16 - Storyteller

Very tough choice indeed, but I've never been so riveted to a TV set as when I saw "The Body". So realistic and well done that it seemed surreal, even to watch.

People say this all the time and I can't understand why. Either they're not watching anything but Buffy and hence don't realise there are other shows that can easily compete with it, or they're so hopelessly devoted they can't bear the thought something might be better ;)
^ Don't take above too seriously if you really think S7 is 10 times better than anything else on TV.

10 times is a bit of an exaggeration, but it was said to make a point that it still is better than almost anything out there, at least imo. Right now on TV there is absolutely nothing that interests me at all aside from "24" which is also starting to lose my interest (because it's basically the same thing every season). I found S7 of "Buffy" very entertaining. Yes there were slip ups and things left untouched, and that did bother me, but the positive of the season well outweighed the negative imo. It isn't one of my top seasons though.
I must admit that I have a soft spot for supernatural dramas/fantasy and great sci-fi; those are the TV shows I tend to want to watch, and "Buffy" just blew the competition away. I know there are other shows that are as good as "Buffy" in terms of quality in other genres, but I find most of the standard TV genres extremely boring. The thing I love about Whedon's shows so much is the blend of comedy, action, and drama. I simply don't see that anywhere else yet. Before I recently got into the Buffyverse all I would watch on TV was Seinfeld re-runs, ST:TNG re-runs, and "24." Anyway, this is just my opinion. :)
