Oh, I can't believe I forgot...

Firefly. At least there was a movie.

And, Cabaret, season four wasn't as bad, but I'm a BIG fan of Buffy and Angel being together. I absolutely hated that they tried to force the Angel/Cordelia relationship, when there was nothing there. I always thought of them as a brother/sister relationship and it just made me mad, and was awkward, and absolutely did not work at all in my mind.

I understand. That's why I was happy in 4 when his "perfect happiness" was still Buffy. I was more cranky with the Buffy/Spike thing than anything.

I remember that show.

That was a long time ago.

Oh, and Buffy and Spike made me sick. I hated that. I hated how the Buffy and Spike fans insisted that it was true love, although all he did was drag her away from her friends [although I had issues with them also] and try to rape her.

And I was SO happy when his perfect happiness wasn't Cordelia, and when Buffy FINALLY, FINALLY called Xander out on the "Kick his ass" comment.

Ugh. Buffy/Spike ... that was namely what turned me off of Buffy. That, and the fact that Tara was killed off by the writers.
Stop looking at my charisma.

They FINALLY put Tara on the opening credits, and then they killed her!

And don't even get me started about them having the gall to kick Buffy out of her own house.

What amuses me is that Tara (Amber Benson) and her killer Warren (Adam Busch) have been dating in real life for years. But I hated the way that went about, esp. when they put her in the opening credits for that one ep.

I'm still sad that Jack & Bobby only lasted one season. Such an interesting concept, and they could have done so much with it if given more time.

And I really wish that Doyle had stayed. Although they didn't have time to give us reasons to dislike him, so that's good.

I wish Angel had stayed human during IWRY.

I wish we never had to witness Cordelia's awful blonde hair, or that they didn't try to make her into Saint Cordelia during the third season.

I wish there had been no "nice Spike", no Riley, Kennedy or Nina.

Buffy was my favorite show...ever. But it made me so mad sometimes.

It just got to the point where I wasn't excited to watch it...I was dreading what they would do to the characters next. But I couldn't NOT watch it [yes I know that's a double negative, but you get the point] if that makes sense.

A sketch comedy on MTV called "The State". It was only on from 1994 - 1995, but one of the funniest shows I have ever seen.

Borstalboy, I loved "All is Forgiven" too.

There was a great show on Fox in the early nineties with Corey Parker, Tea Leoni, and Clea Lewis called "Flying Blind" that only lasted a season. I'm still waiting for Tea Leoni to fulfill the promise she showed on that.

I also loved "High Society," that AbFab ripoff with Mary McDonnell, Jean Smart, and Faith Prince (Jean Smart was pure genius as the Patsy character).

What ever happened to MTV Fear?

Keggss23, thanks for reminding me about "The State" - that was an awesome show. At least we have "Reno911" to console us over its loss.

THE STATE was ahead of its time. At least the boys have gone on to other things: WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER, RENO 911, THE BAXTER...
