I know I would, and in fact the title alone, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the reasons I *didn't* watch the show years ago, and has now become one of my all-time favorites. As G'Kar says in Babylon 5, "No one here is exactly what he appears."

The title is actually what initially drew me to it! It seemed so strange and weird and cool that I just had to give it a try. And guess what... I was right!

I think Joss has mentioned that he chose the title very carefully, and that there was a *lot* of opposition to it at the WB. He said that the people that weren't open minded enough to watch the show due to its title are not the people he was making the show for.

It's a good thing you gave the show a chance Ringwraith... I bet you're wishing you'd have given it a try earlier!

I'm not well-versed at all in the spate of western tv that existed in the 50's and 60's, though I think it unlikely in an era where Lucille Ball couldn't say 'pregnant' that anyone would have tolerated a character of 'ill-repute.'
