I got a now ex-boyfriend addicted to the show!! After we broke up, he spent that summer watching all the seasons on DVD, so I converted one!!
yeah same here some people say it looks weird and stuff but no one has ever hated it
Nobody I know hates Buffy. But not many of them know about it. That's probably just cause I'm 12 and my friends haven't been around long enough to remember it... ='(My sister and I (we're the obsessed ones of our family) have introduced it to a couple of friends. They all love it, which is great!!! =)
I know someone who hates Buffy. It's my friend, Sarah. She hates all fantasy books, movies, etc. She hates Twilight the most, but when we told her about Buffy, she said she wouldn't watch it because it sounded "unrealistic". And she says vampires and demons aren't real :(
=( My friend Annalise says she doesn't like it, but whenever she comes over she asks if we can watch Buffy. I don't believe her when she says she hates something, since she says that about almost everything =D I can tell, she likes it. I haven't watched that many w/ her. I started out w/ a few good ones, like Once More with Feeling. She didn't like that one =O It makes sense, I guess, when I think about it. She's not really the musical type. But then we watched Tabula Rasa or something like that and she thought it was great =D She likes Spike, but I can only watched the 1st 3 seasons, and Spike's not very funny in those. I bet she'll like the 4th season =D
i have been able to get 4 people to start watching Buffy!!!!!
AWESOME!!! =D I've gotten 2, but my sister has gotten like a gajillion. She's having a Buffy party sometime in August where we're going to watch the first 2, Hush, the musical, and maybe one more... She wants Life Serial. I want Fear Itself, but it's her party, so she get's to pick =( But still... 2 more people watch Buffy =D
My brotherr hates the show and everytime he says that i yell at him
my sisters got me to watch it and then i got 3 of my friends to start watching it and they all love it... ive never met anyone who hates buffy either its toooo awesome for that!
Most of my friends haven't even heard of Buffy, which is in a way, even worse. I have no one to talk about it with!

I introduced a friend to Buffy via Firefly. She was into sci-fi, but had never seen Firefly, so I loaned her my DVDs, and she watched it in about three days. Then I suggested if she liked that, she might like Buffy and Angel. She'd seen an episode here and there but said she didn't get the show. I talked her into trying Buffy season 1, and by about the fourth episode, she was into it. She got so into it, she watched Buffy and Angel at the same time, alternating episodes so the crossovers in the first couple Angel seasons corresponded to the correct Buffy episode. And now she's way ahead of me on the Buffy comics. I think she's read most of them, and I've only read the first one.
Sometimes it only takes a little convincing to get people to try it, and they really like it!

I found Buffy and Angel through Firefly as well. My dad showed me Firefly and after I watched it all in two days and loved it to the point of obsession, he suggested Buffy. He hadn't seen it himself but by that point we were both huge Joss Whedon fans. At first I was skeptical because of the dated special effects and the whole teenage/high school setting. I thought: High School Musical with vampires. But after the first episode I was hooked and ended up liking it even more than Firefly. I finished all 9 seasons in 2 months. Then of course I had to watch Angel which I loved as well. And after that I felt like I still couldn't let the story go so I've been reading all the Buffyverse comics I can get my hands on. I've read most of Angel: After the Fall, as well as all of the Spike comics and I've just started the Buffy ones. I am absolutely obsessed. I even talked my dad into watching Buffy as well and he really loves it too. And I've managed to convince some of my friends to try it, and a few already had, but most just write it off as an old, goofy vampire show.

I like the Angel: After the Fall series and the miscellaneous Spike novels the best, but that's probably out of personal character preference. The Buffy: Season 8 series is technically just as good, and probably truer to the show since Joss Whedon stayed on as main writer for all of them. Buffy: Season 8 also explains some oddities in the Angel show which I found very interesting. If you love the show as much as I do, or maybe even half as much, I would read all of the ones I could get my hands on.
If so, what was your response? Did you you just walk away? Did you try to explain why you like Buffy? Did you ask why the person hates Buffy? Did you tell the person to watch a certain season, or episode, to gain an appreciation for our favorite vampire slayer?
In what ways have you overcome the comment, "I hate Buffy!"
