My mind:
Buffy slays vampires on german TV-station "Pro7"
(Pro Sieben).
Buffy - The Vampire Slayer: First there was a movie
with Kristy Swanson 1992. But Joss Whedon wroting the script was so disappointed,
that he wanted to produce his own TV-series. Therefore Warner Brothers
/ 20th Century Fox shot (even on right celluloid) these TV-series with
better Special-Effects, originality and jokes. The Special-Effects aren't
super for today's conditions, but OK. But they became better in the last
seasons. There are "force-representing" scenes in this show, so "Buffy"
runs in the USA and in Canada in the evening on Mondays or Tuesdays.
The german title is "Buffy - Im Bann der Dämonen", you can translate
it with "Buffy - In spell of the demons".
Buffy is not "The Slayer" in Germany, she is "Die Jägerin". That
means a female hunter and chaser.
The Chronicles
The most important person behind is Joss Whedon. He produce Buffy-tVS and writes some stories. He made the important screenplays of every starts and ends of the seasons and directed them. It was his idea of Buffy. In 1989 and 1990 he wrote 6 scripts (of the second season) for "Roseanne". But he wasn't so successful in Movie-business. Though he was involved with writing the scrpts to "Speed", "Alien Resurrection" and "Toy-Story".
