Buffy The Vampire Slayer

CMix: What is it that makes a character and a show like Buffy: The Vampire Slayer so enduring? The show’s been off the air for years and went through two different networks while it was on, yet it still remains so popular. Why do you think that is?

I still get notes from women telling me they only got through high school or other crises because of Buffy. It had something to say and it did it with style.

CMix: You wrote, or co-wrote, some of my favorite episodes of Buffy. What are your favorite episodes of the show?

JE: I love "Hush" and the musical, of course. And Doug Petrie’s "Fool for Love" episode about Spike’s back story is right up there too. Among the ones I wrote, I really like "Superstar" and "Harsh Light of Day."
