If I had never seen the show...

I am a big fan of Buffy and Angel, but if I had NEVER seen nor heard of the show HOW would you explain it in such a way that would make me want to watch?

Pretty strange. How do you become a fan without watching the shows?

As Lexi said, they're really unique in a way that is unexplainable. I'll give you the synopsis of both of the shows. But you can't actually appreciate what it is until you watch them.

Buffy the vampire slayer

"In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer."

Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as The Chosen One, aka Buffy Summers, the one girl in the world with the strength and skill to hunt vampires. With the help of her close friends, Willow (Alyson Hannigan ), Xander (Nicholas Brendon), and her Watcher Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) she balances slaying, family, friendships, and relationships.

For five year Buffy slayed vampires on the WB, then for her last two years she went to UPN.

Angel

"If you need help, then look no further. Angel Investigations is the best. Our rats are low... (What? It says "rats." Sorry.) Ahem... our rates are low, but our standards are high. When the chips are down, and you're at the end of your rope you need someone that you can count on. And that's what you'll find here -- someone that will go all the way, no matter what. So don't lose hope. Come on over to our offices and you'll see that there's still heroes in this world."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For over two centuries, Angelus was one of the most vicious vampires ever to walk the earth. Then he killed the wrong girl, and her grieving Gypsy family cursed the vampire with the return of his soul, causing him to suffer with remorse for all the hundreds of innocents that he had killed through the years. Now he goes by the name Angel, and he fights to protect the helpless from those who would prey upon them as he himself once did.

After three years of living in Sunnydale, fighting alongside his girlfriend Buffy, Angel has moved to Los Angeles to continue the good fight. Aided by a few old friends and some new ones, Angel must take on vampires, demons, lawyers, and all of the other dark forces that Los Angeles has to offer.

Now these summaries sound just like every other show or movie, but they aren't. The show is amazing. The character interaction and how they grow and mature through out the seasons is probably the best acting I've seen ever. But again, in order to understand it, you have to see it.

I recommend checking out your local library to see if they have the seasons available to check out.

Hope this helps,

I have seen every episode of Buffy sixty times over or more, it was just a thought - how would you get someone to watch the show if they hadnt seen it before.

My answer to my own question is three words - Sarah... Michelle... Gellar, lol.
