    Dawson's Creek! Woot! (I'm probably the only person who loves this show).

    As for Buffy, I watched the 1st season and could not get into it. It was so cheesy. But everyone says it gets better after the 1st season, so who knows. Maybe I'll watch it someday.

    I feel the same way... about both of these shows. I didn't expect to be voting for Buffy, but what do you know?!

    Oh yeah, Dawson's Creek is cheesy too. I think the difference for me lies in the fact that I was in middle/early high school when Dawson's Creek came out, so I got really into the show and into the "teen drama" because I was the same age. Now it's nostaligic for me.

    Yep, nostalgia factor is definitely a strong one.
    I absolutely could not associate with "Dawson's" characters - most likely because by its time I was married and past high school (and even past university), so not much place for teen drama in my life
    For that matter, I did not exactly associate with "Buffy" either - so I had to vote for it as a "lesser evil".
    If you are going through hell - keep going

    Buffy, by a landslide.

    I actually watched both of these shows quite regularly, but Buffy is the one I still watch. When I go on fall break next week, a friend and I are actually planning a Buffy Marathon...between both of us, we have all 7 seasons.

    What do you expect? Despite plenty of recommendations (and not just from me or alkanto, I might add), the guy's still not watched a single ep of Who, either!

    Oh, and I voted for Buffy, of course. Monsters, good drama, and a great sense of wit. Nothing better!

    I said Dawson' Creek. Buffy is one of the most popular worst shows ever and made Joss Whedon seem like he can actually offer something to anyone.

    I vote Buffy just cause she kicked ass and Joey and Pacey kinda upset me with all their running around.

    Just because people watch something doesn't mean its good. Like I love professional wrestling and I'll be the first to admit it's pure trash. I used to watch Buffy, first couple of seasons. Then I realized how bad it was. To each their own, of course. I just have very high standards when it comes to television, wrestling aside. I can understand how Buffy has a loyal fanbase and even firefly but Whedon hasn't proved to me he is anything special and I've seen most of his work.

    It depends how far with Buffy you get. He started off being purposely cheesy and I thought, for the type of comedy style he was aiming for, he executed it very well. Buffy got slightly more serious and darker as the seasons progressed and it's watchability never waned.

    Dawson's Crack annoyed the shit out of me. I was forced to watch it because my sister's loved it, it's probably why I left home

    By the way, if anyone's wondering (and it doesn't look like anyone is, but what the hey), the reason the Buffy clip looks mirrored (backwards lettering) is so that copyright-holders don't take down the clip off Youtube (I guess they use some sort of image-detecting software and this throws them). It's kinda weird watching it, but it's one of the better clips of a Buffy episode.
