From Big Screen to Boob Tube

Best

You know the story — a talented pup named Joss Whedon writes a screenplay about a hot vamp killer, it gets made into a lousy 1992 movie, and so Whedon, still gnawing on this bone, turns it into...One of the Greatest Shows in Television History. Buffy had everything: great action, great jokes, great romance, great villains, great acting (you know Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, and Anthony Stewart Head deserved Emmys), and above all, great writing — the kind of writing around which worthy cults are formed.
