BTW.....I'm a 29 father of 2 (4 and 7), and started watching BtVS because my wife and daughter liked it. Now, I'm an addict! It peeved me off so bad when FOX (cable) just showed last seasons episodes, and the main geek had just shot Buff and Tara. Then, nothing.................WTF??? I don't get UPN and am seriously hating it! I wish the sex would be a little less though! A little girl watching the show, and I have to cover her eyes.
I think it is the combination of humor, and action that sells it for me. I really like the cast, and though some of the stories are lame, I STILL WATCH, even rereruns!
