Day 10: Least Favorite Season
This one is heard because I like all of Buffy. Every season had its high points and low points. Hell, every episode has high and low points. But I have to choose one (in this silly, self-inflicted run of blog entries that very few people care about at all).
I'll have to go with the first season. It's choppy and campy. The episodes are sort of all over the place. There's a lot in this season that's cringe-worthy. Mostly it just hasn't settled into its groove yet because, well, it's the first season. When I'm trying to get new people to watch the show, I often find myself advising them to "stick it out" through the first few episodes, even the first season. It gets really, really good in the second season.
Basically, the first season is whole lot of potential, coupled with the writers clumsily trying to figure out how to focus it. It's a slightly rocky start to an absolutely wonderful tv show.
