View Full Version : I've Converted You To The Way Of Buffy

Funny how people say 'Oh, you watch that stupid show?', then they see it and they're hooked!
I was sitting in my living room the other day watching the 'Bargaining' 2-parter when my dad sat down on the couch. Now he hates most modern tv, loves old 50s sci-fi so this is his natural enemy. Thing is he got so into the story of Buffy's ressurection that he was asking me loads of questions about the characters, laughing at the jokes and telling anyone else who came in the room to be quiet so he could watch the end of it. He'll now sit happily and watch it whenever it's on and doesn't say things like the above.
Does anyone else have a story like this or just get tired of defending their favourite show only for that same person to turn around and say 'Hey, this show's quite good!'?

haha, kind of the other way round for me!
I always though "buffy the vampire slayer" sounded so cheesy, and I always thought- nahhh I'll never watch that! But as soon as I saw the first episode- I was officially hooked!

Oh yeah. I just got one of my best friends into Buffy. I talked about it all the time, and about two weeks ago, he got sick of hearing me yammer about it and asked to see it. I showed it to him, and he instantly fell in love with it. He watched season 2 in about a week, and he finished season 3 during a 3-day weekend. Now, I gave him season 4, and he's excited for it because I told him this was when Willow turned gay...and, coincidentally, he's got the hots for Willow. xD
My other good friend wants to see it, too, since she feels out of the loop and likes David Boreanaz on Bones. I plan to give her my season 2 DVDs tomorrow.

My best friend said that to me... and now I'm hooked.
I'm always trying to hook my family. I got them into Firefly, but they're still shying away from Buffy (all but my sis, who is not hooked due to lack of TV time, yet does admit to Giles' hotness -- because it appears as if ardent admiration of the G-man is hereditary).

My ex boyfriend always moaned about hating Buffy so much but one day I was sitting in my room watching a season 5 episode and he did what Bluebirds dad did, started asking question about the characters and wanting to know the backstory and in jokes so after a couple more episodes I just turned around and asked him if he wanted to start watching it from the beginning, which he very clearly did and the rest was smooth sailing.
Actually it's one of the only things I miss about him!

I just watched Smile Time with my boyfriend the other day and it was the first time he sat down to watch Angel or btvs with me, and then he was asking me if we could watch more episodes... lol I love it.

I was always people who responded "Eww, really?" when my friends said they liked Buffy. Specifically it was one friend. In sophomore year, she was additced to Buffy, as she'd watched it from when it first aired, and I was hooked on a different show. We'd always talk in Honors American Studies about another show I got her into, and our respective shows, and she tried to get me to watch Buffy but I wouldn't.
This year, senior year, I was all for it. Mostly because she would only agree to watch my show if I watched hers. So we traded on the same day, and here I am, months later, having finished 20+ seasons of different shows, and she has watched two episodes. That boob. But anyway she told me she had seasons 1, 6, and 7. So I watched the first episode and was hooked. I finished the first season and went out and bought 2, 3, 4, and 5.
We're both currently watching Murder, She Wrote. :D
Since then, I had a mini Buffy night with another friend and got her into it. She's one of those black-and-white movie people... she basically lives in the 20s-50s. So we watched the first two episodes and she was relieved when I said I'd lend her the season. Dunno how much she's watched now, though.

I find it weird that I try to convert people. Does anyone else do this and find it weird?
Like, I love you internet people and all... but sometimes, I just wanna have a nice Buffy discussion with, say, my Dad. But he refuses to watch Buffy! Argh. I spend a lot of time trying to convert my real life loved ones. I like it SO much that I want to use Buffy quotes in real conversations and use Buffy metaphors to make points about real life (or, sometimes, just talk about it because I like it). I can't do that with most of the people in real life, though, and that sucks, so I'm always trying to convince them to watch. I feel vaguely like a Jehovah's Witness, going around knocking on my real life folks' doors (okay, calling them on the telephone) and attempting to get them to see the light. Honestly, it makes me feel like I'm waaaay overstepping... and yet I persist.
Do you guys ever feel that way?

I´ve given up trying to convince peole to watch it. They just stare at me like I´m utterly stupid. The show never got the chance it deserved over here (at least not in my opinion) so that doesn´t help either. My last hope is my big sister. But she rarely has the time to watch tv/dvd and at the moment she´s watching the west wing on my recommendation. She really likes it so hopefully she´ll now trust me and give Buffy a chance. But it will take time, around christmas if I´m lucky. I would love to have someone to discuss it with in real life.

Well, so far I tried my brother and my best friend.
Well, luckily I got another friend who watches Bufy at least occasionally and with her I can discuss some of the things. The good thing is, she even finds Cangel cute :D well and you can imagine how much I talked about it after I found that out.
My other people, however, are not so easy.
My Mom is normally pretty easy, really. I got her into Charmed, GZSZ, DSDS and Friends just like that, although she always formerly claimed to hate the show. The tricky thing about Buffy is that pretty much all the episodes I have are in English. My Mom, however, doesn't really understand a lot of English and can't follow the show. We have German dubbed episodes on TV, but they air in the middle of the night, so I doubt my Mom will ever catch on just by accident.
My Dad is a lost case. He doesn't watch anything in any way connected to the supernatural. He accepts when my Mom and I watch DSDS (that's a German casting show, the equivalent to American Idol) and even watches Friends with us from time to time, but, as soon as anything supernatural gets involved, he bails. He once watched half and Angel episode with me (Spin the Bottle), but he got borred and thought it was stupid. So I don't think there's really something I can do about it.
My brother I've got to watch 2 episodes with me, but he wasn't that impressed, so that's not too good either. BUT I recently found out his girlfriend used to watch Buffy (she asked me about the Bangel love...I was so shocked, lol) so this might just be the key to convert him.
Well, and my best friend. Apparently they (her sister and her or something like that) used to watch Buffy, but only irregularly and a long time ago. Well, she gave me the choice between either watching Buffy episodes with me or going jogging with me well and I chose jogging (a stupid choice? But I just wanted someone to jog with :( )

opps, my rep comment was suppost to say. 'I feel like a Buffy missionary' :p
I still try and get friends and family to watch.. mostly they roll their eyes because they're used to me mentioning it or watching it.
Dont know.. maybe Buffy is something you discover on your own? And you connect with it because it encompasses the outsiders?

I've converted a few of my family and a few friends, my latest conquest is up to season 4 :p
My mum was sick at home once and I was watching "Triangle" , when it finished mum asked if we could watch another ep, then another lol. I told her that it was ok to like Buffy and she could borrow my DVDs when ever she wanted but than my little sister came home and teased her so she said she didn't like it anymore! Mum and her partner absolutely love Firefly, I have never seen my mum more hooked on a show (except maybe the Bold and the Beautiful). ;)
Both my dad and stepmum pretend they don't like BtVS but I have caught both of them watching the DVDs without me! My older sister loves it, and we are still working on my younger sister, her current boyfriend is a huge fan aswell so it should be too long before we break her down! I don't know why she doesn't trust me though as I introduced her to Scrubs and she is more obsessed with that show then I am now!
Yeah I can safely say I sound like a nut trying to spread the word of Buffy! :D

I know what you mean, although I'm lucky enough to have a mom and a dad who are obsessed with buffy too! So we use buffy quotes,metephors etc. around the house. sadly though, none of my offline friends like buffy (as much as i try to convert them)

I was a "Buffy" eye-roller for the entirety of the series. My sis-in-law loved it.... I thought she had some lame gene that my brother was unaware of, LOL. I made FUN of people who watched such non-sense as Buffy!!! - .....Then Buffy ended its 7-yr run.... and then one day... I was home instead of work... sick with the flu. I caught a Buffy episode as I was flippin thru channels. I was bored, stuffy, & achy... and just settled there. At the end of the show, I thought "Humph. Not half bad. That Xander character was pretty funny, and I like that Willow girl." Then I watched another episode that came on right after that one. (they showed two per day, every day). I watched 2 eppys every day for about 5 days. THEN I HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK. Oh no! - I was hooked! What would I do? I needed to know what happened after Tara got brain sucked by Glory! What about that blonde vampire guy? OMG! I HAD TO KNOW!!!! Heh...
So I started buying the DVDs... and the rest is Buffy history. :D I started watching Angel when Season 4 had just ended, & I caught the repeats of that season that summer, & I watched Season 5 as it aired. AND I WAS DEVASTATED when Angel was canceled! Dammmit!! So then I started buying Angel DVDs, too.
I don't think I've ever turned anyone on to Buffy, tho. I've told many people about it, and I have a few friends I KNOW would love it... if they'd just bust a move & start watching.

In my graduating class, there were about 6 or 7 of us who were Buffy fans. Every day we would talk about Buffy, what happened in the new episodes, what happened in the reruns on FX. But I was the only one out of us who got into Angel, and I could never understand why they didn't like it. (personally, I prefer Angel over Buffy any day.) But now, none of my friends like Buffy. I'm also a huge Michael Jackson fan, and even my friends through MJ forums don't understand my BTVS/Angel obsession. They wonder how on earth I could make graphics of something other than Michael... but I keep trying to get them to watch an episode, but it's difficult since the only time either one of the shows are on anymore is 6 in the morning. Guess I'll just be an BTVS/Angel loner...
i got my auntie hooked on buffy...to the point were i managed to even persuade her to take me to several weekend conventions LOL and she loved it!
i also managed to get my best friend to like it...she didnt get hooked so to speak...but she at least knew what i was talkin about when i rambled bout buffy things for a change lol
we had regular buffy nights..i was just made up that she agreed to watch it =)

If I could agree more with you I would but it's physically impossible! I have this strange need to share Buffy (as if it is mine to share!) with the people in my life because I genuinely feel anyone who doesn't watch it is missing out. Like you said PV I would love to have a Buffy chat with my Dad becuase we always have these incredible conversations, I want to fight with him over the merits of Bangel and Spuffy!! I want to quote Buffy and have people actually know that I'm quoting Buffy! I want to have an insane Buffy marathon with my friend Orna just see her reactions to certain eps that I know she would love if I could just wrangle her into watching!
Aaah! It really does feel like being a Jehovah Witness!

I used to be one of those people..! My friend, now hates Buffy, but she used to LOVE it. Everyday she mentioned it I'd laugh and say things like 'As if you watch that' after she talked about it again and again she made me listen to the OMWF songs and I thought they were quite catchy but I never told her. Then one day I was flicking through the channels and I saw an episode of Buffy and I was AMAZED!

As many of you, I was a Buffy "eye-roller". I always thought it was kinda dumb cause I saw bits and pieces and thought that the "vampires" were poorly done, makeup wise. And it seemed really stupid. My suitemates from this past year in college and I went through many TV shows as we were procrastinating. Buffy was the last show they went to, but I refused to watch it. As we had our ajoining bathroom doors open all the time, I saw clips and pieces from Buffy as I cooked or whatever (I ALWAYS seemed to walk in on an intense part! Like when Buffy was running to try and stop Riley from leaving, or when Buffy was shot by Warren!). I still didn't watch it and finally I was like, "FINE give me the pilot." I finished season 1 in two days. The rest is history. And since I just finished season 7, I figured out that it took me almost exactly a month to complete the 7-season series. Take THAT Alias! Just kidding! I love Alias but this show was definitly one of a kind and I have a different kind of love for it than for other shows because I think I connect to characters, especially Buffy, more than I did on Alias. Perhaps because by the end of the show (actually season 6 and 7) Buffy was my age.

My friends REALLY annoy me. I keep telling them, "come on. Just borrow one season. PLEASE! I swear, just watch an episode of my choosing, and you'll be hooked! ... Please... :( Just watch the show..." That's pretty much how our convos about Buffy go. Then they precede (sp?) to say that Buffy is gay, and Buffy is or girls even though they have never seen a single episode. They're bastards like that. Oh, and this is coming from the people that say that Grease is gay. :O

Since I've been at it for only 10 months or so, this is my greatest achievement: a good friend got cancer after I went to the States few years back, and after I came back, she was recuperating and out of contact with everyone. Due to my school obligations and starting work, I only got to see her in once a month or so, and every time we talked about what we were watching.
Now, she's seen first two seasons of Buffy, like everyone else in Bosnia, because the local TV channel repeated them so many times, and even if she didn't see every last one, she got the gist of it - and was apprehensive. But, I repeated the jokes from few episodes, and got her to follow me through the exploration of Buffyverse.
She got the better deal. I downloaded the episodes one by one and burned them on DVD's, and when she got on board, I already had Buffy 3-7 and Angel Season 1. She and her sister share a room - they didn't sleep until they saw every episode they got from me. :) Her sister watched the episodes while my friend slept due to exhaustion and the chemo she was undergoing, and then re-watched them with her. :) She even started reading comics because I slipped in Season 8 and Angel AtFall with Season 5 of Angel. :)
Honestly, I had more fun listening to them two talking about the show than any of the episodes I've seen. :D

I think a lot of people get turned off by the name "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" because it honestly sounds silly. I know that was my mom's original apprehension about watching it. But, I would have the FX reruns on during dinner and suddenly she started buying the box sets. I was so glad I got her hooked and we always watched the new ones of Buffy & Angel together.
More recently, as of the past few weeks, I got my best friend hooked. He said that he REALLY started loving the show once the 4th season came. We burned through seasons 1-6 in a couple week's time (the last ep we watched was 'Gone' the other day, so we're getting there...). Yes, we are crazy. It's so fun re-watching the series with a newbie, mostly for people's reactions to things, especially to the big twists you know are coming. It makes watching Buffy so much more fun.

Well, I work as a camp counselor, and because I'm in charge of arts and crafts with a few of my friends, we have a lot of free time. One of my friends was a big fan of Doctor Who, and she agreed to watch Buffy if I watched Doctor Who. I lent her my season 2 DVDs, and now, two weeks later, she's on season 5 and is completely obsessed with Spike. She's said multiple times that she loves me for introducing her to it...meanwhile, I still haven't seen any of Doctor Who because she's too fixated on Buffy. I also got about three of my other friends to watch What's My Line, Lovers Walk, The Wish, Doppelgangland, Something Blue, Hush, and Pangs, and they're all begging me to lend them the DVDs, too. The other day, they were all quoting Buffy, and it made me very proud.

my sister i guess, she just took like almost ten years to want to watch it (10 in November) so its been around as long as she has, and when she first started to talk she knew how to say the names of the buffy characters, i could point at a poster and she's slur in a baby voice "Spike".... "Willow"....."Xander" but then she just refused to watch it and now she gets in from school (well on thursday anyways since she was off Friday for some stupid reason.... teacher training or something?) and asked within 2mins.... "Can we watch buffy tonight?" and she's totally into it, in like a week she's gotten onto the 3rd season (The Wish was her last episode)
I think its a shame she's watching it so quick because she didnt get emotional at the end of 'becoming part 2', its like i got to see it in real time and get all attached to the characters and she well hasnt.

He's soooo gonna get hooked. He even already had character preferences, from what I've seen he's a Giles lover and Xander hater.

My story: I've heard of Buffy before, but I just didn't take much interest in it, I wasn't refusing to watch it, I just had no interest. So finally my friend told me to check it out every morning on FX. I was hooked after the first episode.
Anyway, my friends are so narrow-minded, they just won't watch it! I tell them they can borrow season, and everything, I say, "Come on, I'm begging you! You don't do anything all today! Just watch one season... PLEASE!" Yeah, it never works. I think I might get my neighbor soon though. :)
HOWEVER! I did get one of my friends towatch Firefly, and he loved it. He has my Serenity: Those left Behind, and Serenity the movie. That mkaes me a little happy.

And i am about to start on collecting Angel before my tv channel takes him away as well. I never heard of fire fly. Dont care for charmed, it's jsut not Buffy. And they over use the word "vanquish". I suspect soon i will be reading my mother's collection of Buffy novels and complete the purchase of that as well. But i am Protesting that Buffy Comic Book.........i jsut ant bring myself around to it..........i mean i like WATCHING those characters ..... well i jsut dont know, lever liked ye ole graphic novel much in the past.

People, when I'm getting an overdose of Buffy, be worried. And my other convert, he wants to watch Buffy with me later tonight as well. I don't even watch episodes alone anymore, people here just wanna keep watching! I love it, though I seriously need to get some work done and like this it's not going to happen. But god, I'm so glad I finally got my own little army of Buffy converts :D

I converted my sister years ago. I tried to convert my dad but he says he gets tired of "all the monsters and magic." He loves Firefly and Serenity though. I've been able to convert a lot of people to Firefly but they don't want to give Buffy a chance because they like the space mythos over the vampire mythos. Mostly people just laugh at me when I tell them I'm a Buffy fan, even though all they watch is crap like Rock of Love and The Hills. I've never watched Charmed or Smallville but many of my friends do and they don't want to give Buffy a chance because they think those shows are better (boy are they missing out).

As soon as I finished my watch through of all seven seasons (for the first time) earlier this year, I sat down with my sister and got her to watch them all - and she got hooked.
However, my other sister was completely disdainful the whole time, making comments - "Ugh, you're going to watch Buffy *again*?" etc. and she absolutely refused to watch, saying that it was boring, rubbish - you get the idea.
Anyway, the channel FX has been showing season four (well, it's now into season five) in the mornings, and I've been watching, and she'll come into the room, make a tutting noise, but sit down and watch anyway... I think she's getting converted XD
Even going so far as to ask me what's going on etc. So, it looks like she might be on the way to liking Buffy :D

He likes to watch and all, but doesn´t want to watch ALL the episodes like me xD So now I gave up, I call him to watch the greatest.. he watched the whole The Body arc xD

I got one of my friends into Buffy.. She's so half-assed though, about everything, she watches maybe one episode from Season 3 BtVS, and then starts watching Ats Season 3, and she says things like, "I like the green guy the best". And I say, "his name is Lorne", and she'll say, "Sake, look at how green he is!" And then she'll go on a tangent about make-up for half an hour, we have alot of fun hanging out together. *sighs*

I would love to successfully convert someone to Buffy...so far i've had no luck, but then i'm very reluctant to part with my DVDs even temporarily. Angel has just started being shown again on one of our television stations (10.30pm tuesday 10HD) so i've told all my friends to watch. Unfortunately, they are all at eye-rolling stage whenever i mention anything remotely connected to Buffy:(

^^ Been there...I hate that phase. Sometimes I wonder about just holding my friends hostage for a weekend and making them watch it untill they like it? You think it would work?
