The show could only be appreciated as a comedy. It simply made too little
sense
to be taken seriously. I mean, come on, tiny Buffy Summers beating up on
demons
and monsters with her bare hands? Please! Good comedy, sure. ****y drama.
The first few seasons, the show was an entertaining farce. When it started
the
Joyce-has-cancer storyline, the show started sinking. Heavily oppressive
(and
worse, real-life) gloom just doesn't suit a comedy show.
