Buffy's Top 15: Uncover the Most Memorable Slayer Episodes

Nearly three decades ago, Joss Whedon transformed a moderately successful film he'd written into a groundbreaking television series. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" redefined sci-fi and fantasy television, influencing countless subsequent projects and elevating the genre as a whole. Now, reports suggest a legacy sequel is in the works, with Sarah Michelle Gellar reportedly in final negotiations to reprise her iconic role as Buffy Summers in a Hulu revival.

This news prompts a retrospective look at the original series, highlighting 15 of its most memorable episodes. Premiering on the WB network in March 1997, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" demonstrated that compelling television could be built around a teenage girl fighting vampires, demons, and other supernatural threats.

The show's ensemble cast redefined the concept of a misfit team, portraying the anxieties and struggles of teenagers (and later, college students) against the backdrop of near-constant apocalyptic events.

To celebrate the potential return of this exceptional series, we present a selection of the best episodes from the original run. These episodes represent the pinnacle of "Buffy," showcasing a blend of absurd humor, intense drama, and everything in between. (Note: Two-part episodes are counted as single entries.) Prepare for the best of "beep me, bite me" Buffy!
