I think I have to vote for That 70s Show, even though I would be perfectly happy with either of these progressing.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
You know what? I voted for Buffy, but I think i'm gonna have to agree with you there, Chris. Both are brilliant, I just feel more attached to Buffy because I watched it when it was on. But if That 70s Show beats it....well, I wouldn't have any complaints.

I love Buffy but I vote 70s Show
I liked both but Buffy was the much better rounded out show. That 70's show was good, but very one dimensional.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I can't believe Buffy is losing.

I don't know what you've been smoking, but where can I get some ?Originally Posted by John Blaze
I was thinking the same thing, actually. That 70's Show deals with quite a wide range of issues and many of them is a fairly unique way, or at least I think so.I don't know what you've been smoking, but where can I get some ?

Like I said before I love Buffy but the show was the same thing every episode the only extremely good one was Once more with Feeling.
The thing I liked about The '70s Show was how they managed to string out four years for an entire decade with the same actors.
It was like M.A.S.H., only entertaining.
Gosh, I couldn't disagree more with the first part of this sentence which says that all Buffy epi's were the same ... and being a HUGE Buffy fan ... if the first part of this sentence were true, then OMWF wouldn't work. It's the huge reveals and wonderful movement of character that make OMWF such a great episode. Yes, it's singing and fun, but there are giant plot points at work through the whole episode.

Buffy can't be beaten for character development and addressing issues of folks young and old alike albeit surrounded by an atypical set of circumstances that are probably a bit more difficult for one to relate. That 70s Show feels comfortable, familiar but lacking the depth and broader scope of Buffy. Buffy deals with issues ranging from the angst of young adult hood to mortality. I have to admit I did not watch Buffy when it was first broadcast because I thought it was just a vampire show. I have since watched it in syndication and realize it is much more...it's a very clever way to present issues we'll all deal with in our lives. Buffy wins. Hands down.
I stopped watching Buffy when I was like 13 (in the second season somewhere) because every episode followed a template. The vampires convene, make up a plan, Buffy has high school drama, talks with Gilles in his library, Seth Green says something funny, Vampire attacks OH No VAMPIRE then Buffy wins, Vampires are all sad and angry at Buffy, Angel is mysterious, Alyson Hannigan is all 'wow, everything turned out okay!' and they go back to the high school dance and episode ends. I just couldn't watch it anymore. The awful acting surely didn't help. Best part about Buffy was the theme song. I still watch That 70's Show and while it's forumlaic, it actually entertains me.Gosh, I couldn't disagree more with the first part of this sentence which says that all Buffy epi's were the same ... and being a HUGE Buffy fan ... if the first part of this sentence were true, then OMWF wouldn't work.

Buffy is anything but formulaic. Maybe the first season, but honestly from there it just grew. It was a commentary on today's society and youth and was about a group of kids in High School. You're commenting on the settings and generalities. You know, LOST took place on an island ... every week, they're on an island, they're fighting, they're trying to get home, etc. It's the same show every week. See? Your analysis doesn't stand up... especially since you stopped watching.
The actual issues and family drama and characters of Buffy were much richer and layered than you're indicating.
Sincerely, if all you got out of Buffy was what you wrote above, you need to take another look. Or try looking with the eyes of someone older than 13.
If for nothing else, the dead on writing and pop culture references in Buffy were out of this world great.
