I imagine all the academicians, government officials, and religious who write on and study the impact of BtVS in shaping real-world responses would disagree with you on that one.
That would be quite sad if they couldn't see what's right in front of them. Just because a show is deep doesn't mean it's not a high schooler, teenie bopper show.
If a disney cartoon has innuendo that adults pick up on does that make it a movie for adults? No, it's still a kids movie. It's just got some entertainment value for the adults.

What's wrong with 4 & 5 (well...ok there's the whole it sucked thing wrong with 4 but I mean they're not in high school)? Actually 7 was right back to high school.

AGREED.
As far as Buffy goes, it's Joss Whedon's crowning achievement so back off.

Quote:Agreed. But don't write off Dollhouse just yet, my friend. True, it's no Dark Angel, but I see much potential there.

If it was at least as good as the first season of DA, I'd be digging it. It's not.
This is the first Joss show that isn't "must see". At least for myself.

I actually like Dollhouse. I think the concept is interesting. I think it could go in many entertaining directions. I even liked Stage Fright. I liked the twist that Echo was 'protecting' the singer by putting her in danger.
I like Echo and want to learn her backstory. I felt bad for her in the first episode when they did her first treatment and took away the man of her dreams (well, the person that she was at that point). And why the heck would Alpha not slaughter her...what's his connection. I'm pretty hooked...as you can see. Sure, it's not up to par with the other Jossverse stuff YET...but I think it has potential.
One thing that you CAN feel, though, is the producers striving to create episodes that are watchable on their own, while still having 'mythology.' Joss has always been criticized for complex shows (that get cancelled) that are hard for newcomers to break into. Dollhouse is has potential for that...but there's also the Law & Order you-can-watch-one-episode-and-not-be-completely-lost thing going on. They are stories unto themselves and therefore, if a newbie were to watch (if they get a chance)...you wouldn't have to spend 45 minutes explaining things to them. They could enjoy the show without all the backstory.
But I guess I'm in a minority.
And could Friday night be a worse place for a new show? I'm watching on hulu.

I like Buffy and own all the DVDs, but I'd rank it behind both Firefly and Angel.
