Gonna have to go with Buffy. I love Firefly, but there's not enough of it and I've already got all the episodes memorized. If there was more it'd be the clear winner, but with seven seasons... yeah, Buffy wins. It's hard to get bored with a show when there are over 100 episodes to watch ;)

and I must follow if I can.

I caught all of them late...Firefly after it was cancelled (not too hard, it lasting only 1 season & all). Buffy was good, Angel was almost as, but Firefly, even being only 1 season, was far and away the best. The combination of the basic premise, the characters (not to mention a cast that welded together became more solid than titanium), a rhythm of language (both 'Firefly'-speak and Chinese)not found anywhere else; all together just cannot be beat.

I tried watching Buffy a couple of times. It was so stupid.
So...yeah..Firefly.
I appreciate Buffy as much as I obsess on Max, but-
IT MUST BE FIREFLY.

Buffy.
If I had seven seasons of Firefly to obsess over (maybe just two or three would've done the trick) it would've been top...if it had continued to be as brilliant as it was. But you just can't compare 1/2 season to 7.

Why is so much emphasis being placed on the length of the series? Maybe Firefly wasn't as long as the others, but that doesn't change the fact that it was a high-quality, well-acted series. Not trying to say anyone's wrong, but I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Quote:RugBug, I thought about the most personally affecting moment in Buffy (last few minutes of Chosen), and the same of Firefly ("Everybody dies alone." or "Don't tell em what I done; make something up..."), and I'm left with the idea that Firefly was just more 'real' to me, and on that alone, my decision is made.

But Buffy is such a rich tapestry from which to draw , I can easily see your decision...

I never did watch much Buffy. I'm sorry, truly sorry, to all the Buffy fans here, but I really, really can't stand Sarah Michelle Gellar. I don't know why she bothers me so much but she does. The one episode I watched all the way through only featured her as an almost side-note. So, having never gotten into Buffy at all, I also never watched Angel. Hearing that he was "Buffy's Vampire boyfriend" really got to me in the first place. I'm sorry, but how soap-opera can you get? The Slayer in love with a Vampire... 
I'm sure the writing was good, I'm sure it had some great moments and all that is apparently inherent to a Whedon creation but I just...didn't...care.
To emulate the great and venerable Penguin...
All the way.
