Well, I am watching it with my other half. He had seen a few random episodes and didn't like it at all. My cunning plan though was that he likes silly humour, of which Season 1 is full. After 2 episodes (I kid you not) he was hooked. We are now watching S2 and my cunning plan worked, he loves it - hoorah!

In other words, start with Season 1 and the rest follows, the character developments make sense. I would give examples but it would spoil it.

Well, I just spent all day watching the 1st season of BUFFY. So far, I'm actually impressed. Each of the episodes were strong in their own way (except for TEACHER'S PET, which I think was only written to cash in on the whole Mary Kay Letourneau thing, otherwise it was a weak ep), and I really liked the last episode. Overall, it had a good sense as to what it's about, it didn't seem too cheap despite it being on a shoestring. And I can understand now why it lasted an extra six years.

Giles rocks. I'm goona start on season 2 now. Probably have it done by tomorrow. Long weekend here, so I should be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?

I started halfway through season three watching reruns lol. And I am ok with it, if you dont want to wait, I think its kinda neat starting half way through. It's like a Star Wars kinda thing...

WATCH THE FIRST SEASON FIRST!

IT'S A JOSS SHOW!!

My area didn't get The WB until season 3 of Buffy and believe me, you do not want to watch any episode of Buffy or season before they intended you to.

Especially the 2nd season!!!!

I'd start with that crazy 90s movie with Peewee Herman in it as one of the vampires! ^ ^ I think it actually explains even more, as if i remember correctly season 1 just starts right in with the "same character" moving to a new town. XD Although it's almost completely different it's a kick to watch!

But if you can't get a hold of that, definately start with the first season as it's full of mini plot twists and character intros that leave you confused when missed.

ya see I wasn't confused at all. I actually think it helped me, becuase I was so in love with the characters that by the time I got back around to seasons 1 and 2 I could kinda ignore the cheesyness (because there was some cheesyness in there, though alot of you probably won't believe me). And then when I watched the ep where they get stuck in their Halloween costuems I was really excited because they allude (may not be using the right term here) to Xander's army days alot. So it was more special to watch...

You could just buy the first season of buffy, it's only 10.00 at walmart... besides, the first season is good for setting up character storylines and such. I suggest watching them in order!

Firstly, 10.00! *in shock* I can't believe it! But umm that's good for those who want to get into the series.

It's best to start with season 1. But it's up to you. I just hope that nothing technical will steer you away from it.

While I do agree that starting with S1 would give the viewer a better understanding of the characters, I think that some people could be put off by S1. It is, after all, seriously lacking in many of the aspects that make the remaining six seasons so great. The biggest problem is clearly the writing, since the only good writers on the show at this point were Joss himself and David Greenwalt. Really, it wasn't until midway through the second season the show really hit its stride. There are still some pretty great eps in the first one though, especially "Angel" and "Prophecy Girl".
