Back in college we would watch The Dukes of Hazzard everyday on TNN, and got The A-Team DVD this past Christmas and they are both so cheesy now that they are enertaining on a whole new level.

Personally, the only season I had trouble with was season 6. Intellectually, I understood what Joss was doing and what Buffy was going through, but it just went on too long, and her turn around in the last episode wasn't realized quite as well as I'd come to expect. Anyway, I'm currently lending my discs to a friend, one season at a time. I can't wait for their reaction!

I remember really hating Riley the first time around, but I gain more appreciation with each re-watch - if not for him specifically, for the relationship, for how fun it must have been for the writers to have someone so upright to play with, for the reveal (I just watched the episodes right before Hush, and I've never enjoyed the arc so much), and, okay, maybe for Riley too. I find that, for me, quite a few shows (or more accurately, seasons or arcs of shows) have improved with a second viewing on DVD. I think that not having that week (or longer) of anticipation allows us to be more forgiving. Oddly, I’m rewatching season 4 of Buffy right now too (for the umpteenth time).

Oz!) and am mostly irritated by the new ones that have arrived (Tara - so wet! Dawn - so nonsensical!) I'm sticking with it though. At least until the singing one.

I remember being outraged when I saw the finale for season 4. I hated it! What were they doing to my Buffy? And I wasn't that keen on seasons 6 and 7 either. And you're right, I think it is because I loved the earlier seasons so much. But, watching the later seasons now with a bit of distance, they're not nearly as bad as I remember. I actually like them. The comic on the other hand...that's losing me. I am the same with Buffy. I remember being outraged when I saw the finale for season 4. I hated it! What were they doing to my Buffy?
