Yeah I mean the whole taking over the law firm thing was a bit much, but that whole Illyria thing was really jarring and crazy. I HATED Connor so at least they got rid of him at the end of season 4.
***** Umm, quite sure that Angel never did exactly get cancelled - Joss went up to the network guys and said that he didn't like getting late renewal every time, so he told them "tell me now what the answer is" and the network guy kinda had his hands tied and said that in that case the answer is no. (So really, if Joss had just been happy with late renewal, we probably would've gotten at least another season of Angel. The low ratings was probably just from the fallout of how spectacularly they destroyed multiple characters in season 4. Cordelia, Connor... And then there's the whole of the AI gang who changed in S5 because of not remembering what happened to Connor in S3 (mostly "Sleep Tight" and it's fallout)... S5 was barely recovering the show from that, so S6 probably would've been even better. So if Joss had been a bit more patient, the network most likely would've renewed Angel.
I have a daughter with Down Syndrome, now 30 who wanted to watch Buffy back in her teens. We said no way because all we saw was Vampires. One Saturday we entered into the livingroom and found her watching a show. We didn't know what it was and in no time WE were sucked into the episode. Yeah there were vampires, but it was so well written, funny and full of heart. We were astounded to realize it was the forbidden Buffy series. We were hooked and now own the full series. Thanks
Wow. I've never seen an interview with Sarah Michelle Gellar but she is so damn PROFESSIONAL. Geez. It's amazing. She has every answer down. She's not stumbling over her words or laughing about herself. She is truly professional. That is amazing.
Sarah is SO smart and well spoken. I always got the feeling that she didn't like the show (I know science fiction wasn't always popular like it is now) but she talked about it fondly. Yay.
jakeismyhero, that has been confirmed. Sarah was exhausted. I was merely background in a weekly series, and found that so exhausting I couldn’t keep doing it.
Dylan Benedict yeah, I’m pretty sure that the make-up is from the season 3 episode Helpless for one of the final scenes. I recognise the bandages for her head wound
This man has an amazing talent. So often people watch shows and give 100% credit to the actors but the actor can do nothing without a talented man like this behind the scenes.
David Boreanaz is INSANELY good-looking. Like, way more than should be fair for one person to have all by themselves. If he wasn't such a nice person I'd be mad about it lol.
Sarah was role model throughout my teens ♥️ im 32 and still binge watch the show every couple of years--- after season 3 it was all meh but still i will forever love these characters 😍😘♥️
@@urilaf8598 season 3 was by far best. I feel like the show lost steam with the creation of Dawn and just the depressing 6th and 7th seasons…ever since I heard the news about the kind of man Joss is though, I can’t say I enjoy the series as much as I used to
@@urilaf8598 Xander was kind. Most of Whedon’s characters are kind people. The villains, notably “Glory” and “The Master” were who I saw Joss as. As for Joss’ feminism nonsense, it’s clear it was more an outlet for objectification. He sorta gave a vibe of “I know women more than women themselves know who they are”. I didn’t wanna believe it until I read that my fears were true. Ughhhhhh
I loved Buffy, I watched it when it first came out and, I'm watching it again now and still getting a lot of good things out of it. Awesome job with this series, and the Angel series too!
wow thank u sooooooooooooooo much for uploading this!!!!!!!!! how cute is david when he talks about sarah at 13:10! wohoooooooooooooooooo BANGEL 4-EVER!!! David & Sarah forever!
This is so awesome. Sarah Michelle Gellar had her makeup ready for the final scene on Episode 12 of season 3, "Helpless". hahaha I love being a diehard fan!
This tv show was a lot more than just a tv show, it inspired me to be strong, and to care for my friends and family no matter what. Sarah is so professional, she's in my humble opinion the best actress I've ever seen. She's been my inspiration to become an actor. :)... If you haven't seen this show, I totally recommend it
Thanks for posting this, its always great to find some rare footage of the actors and just got to say i love what DB had to say about SMG, you didn't really get to hear much about his thoughts on leaving the show.... ahhh gotta love Buffy, hands down best show :)
As I'm watching David Boreanaz here, I'm thinking of a scene in Angel where he can see his reflection and asks everyone why they didn't tell him his hair is sticking up 😂
Yup. I was thinking that. She would be the prettiest in pretty much any school out there. By a very large margin. She is amazingly lovely. Beautiful face, perfect body, sexy voice.
I think she’s average in looks, it’s her charm, professionalism & intelligence that makes her attractive. But guys, we’re still talkin abt a teen here, so be mindful of how ya’ll talk abt a teen esp if ur an adult! Just sayin :3
@@miracraigfan1738 lol that’s crazy, i commented this 6 years ago when I was 15, wild how the time flies. I really wouldn’t have even remembered this if the notif of ur reply hadn’t popped up
The girl playing Cordelia is prettiest to me, I’ve always wanted brown eyes & sometimes brown hair myself being that I’m blond & have blue/green/grey eyes, I do naturally have brown eyes in some instances that I inherited from my mothers side, it’s a genetic thing, but it’s mostly in the same colour pallette blue & green& I’m jealous of anyone with long or thick eyelashes, everytime I wear mascara my lashes won’t stay up….well that was random…anyways…
funny, i know by how sarah appears here that i know which episode she was filming before the interview. when she was tested by the council on her 18th to see if she should keep her slayer abilities and then afterwards giles was fired cause he was too protective of buffy- that was such a good episode
It was my favorite movie in my childhood.I remember,when i came back home from school, in hurry I tried to find the exact channel where it was this unforgettable ,cool movie .
So glad I caught an episode on a fluke one night when it was originally on as the name of the show initially turned me off. I thought it would be 90210 with vampires. I marathon Buffy every year or two. I can't stay away from Sunnyvale. Still the best show that continues to be as enjoyable in repeated viewings. Funny how at the time the crappy show Dawson's Creek got more attention and viewers but Buffy was the show to watch! Now it is still much more memorable and continues to gain new fans. Doubt many people go back to Dawson or 7th Heaven but Buffy can be watched over and over. Turned many friends on to the Buffy Universe.
Wow you can tell exactly when this was done becuase Sarah is sporting that big cut on her forehead from the season 3 episode Helpless. Like damn this is a blast from the past!
I just came here to reminisce over Angel 😍 wish that he hadn’t left for the other show cause Bangel is endgame. I almost stopped watching Btvs after he left
The moment when you look at Baby Joss Whedon here and he's already accomplished more than you ever will. And that's fine because it gave us this wonderful show.
@@sgtgiggles I understand the emotions you might feel, but reading Joss' interview and having met the man myself a few times, I strongly get the impression that the real truth is somewhere in the middle. To me he has always been humble.
@@sgtgigglesYes, I think we can. Because it were a few people that had something negative to say compared to all of the cast and crew people that also were there through the years. Joss has always been open and pretty direct in his speaking. A quality that is needed as a writer. I understand that not every person can take that kind of openess and that is okay. Also Joss must have been under constant pressure which must have resulted in a shorter fuse at a rare occasion. There were signs of burn out too, which should not be ignored.
@@sgtgiggles Yes, it was a small amount compared to all the people involved creating it. Do you have any idea how many people work on a TV show or movie and what the job description is of a director who also produces, writes and does much more?
@@sgtgiggles That must have been an intense and demanding job at times but also very rewarding in another way? What was your most joyish experience ever? And to come back to Joss, I never heard the term "Lispy, the Leg Grabber". But then again people do like to talk. The real question always is: "Is it really true?"
I love this show so much.. I know when I've had a bad day I can watch the show , and it will make me feel so much better. I love, like what Sarah said..that there is finally a strong women roll who can kick ass.. and any teenage girl can relate nd such. I love the 90's... I wish we had more people who are so dedicated to their work, that they'll make an amazing show like this. I hate the shows/movies we have now a days. lol
@@naimasophie Omg...you're so right. the movies coming out are so often just remakes too. I don't like to go to the movie theaters anymore and that's my fave thing ..the experience. it's unfortunate.
While watching this, I imagined Whedon periodically coming in with a bullwhip and brutally prompting the cast on what to say or striking them off camera during his own interview.
now that we know Carpenter (Cordelia) refused to act because she was pregnant and Joss had to rewrite an entire season of buffy around her being absent from the show and he was rightfully upset so he begged carpenter to keep working. Wow you guys call that mean of Joss?😂. Yet no one is trying to cancel carpenter for cause the crew to have to work double as much to do a whole new script with new lines?😂 double standard again
did he say "the teens all talked like Heathers"?? haah imagine Buffy saying "fuck me gently with a chainsaw"? ahha But gee Buffy was the best series ever, especially with the Angelus arc. Sarah was incredible as an actress, the perfect second half to Joss' writing
Yeah I saw this back in the day but it is a great interview - it was a really great intro to Buffy for people who were new to the show or didn't know/watch it at the time.
I will be always grateful Joss for such fantastic, EPIC show. More than 10 years, and I am still a huge fan and love to rewatch the show from time to time. Wow, Sara can speak VERY fast:)). But adore her anyway.
i was 9 when this came out and i can't believe it's been this long since buffy!? when i thnk of btvs i'm like oh that was 5yrs ago or so lol. she was my hero and role model growing up and still is. i think sarah michelle gellar is the only actor i'd geek out at if i got to meet her lol
if you listen to Sarah talk it is very New Yorker, not the accent but the speed in which she talks. I do the exact same thing and I know people have a hard time following me sometimes just because I rush through everything I have to say. With that, I love Sarah and she has been my idol since i was 7 so I am very happy to know we have another thing in common.
Joss Whedon succeeded in making me speak like the characters, I've been watching the show over and over for 5 years and i can't stop speaking like them. I honestly don't know where i end and Buffy begins :P
I loved this series so much and thought that having a female hero to look up to was the greatest thing in the world, finally a girl that could kick ass and save the day. the Buffy the vampire slayer series will always be one of my favorite series and Sara MIchelle Gellar will always be my favorite heroine, Joss Whedon is a Genius in what he creates and what he did when he created BTVS!^_^
7:24 settles the discussion on another video of Sunnydale’s location. It is NOT Sunnyvale in Northern California. (Now, if I can only find that other discussion to link to this.) (*sighs* and wipes glasses)
I loved this show so badly!!! it was the best teen show ever! full of surprises and very funny... i cried several times especially when she had to kill Nagel after he got his soul back, when Angel left to LA... great great great show!!!!!!!!!!
I'd rather say that movie "The cabin in the woods" by Joss is a tribute for "Buffy". Characters, story line, monsters and the organization that tries to save the world by serving a god are incredibly similar to the series. I love all Avengers an Loki so much that I realize that they are completely independent and original characters based on comic books and Joss's imagination:)
I remember this show when it first came on and love it still. Anyone else notice the very close similarities some of the episodes and plots with Sailor Moon?
Sadly, he wasn't/isn't and this fact nearly killed this whole universe for me which I've always cherished from the depths of my heart. His behaviour and mindset mocks everything what Buffy/Angel is about. Let the message of the Buffyverse transcend the real-life actions of its creator and stand out on its own. I truly hope that there will never be a reboot with Whedon involved in any way.
@@rohezalvomambo1208 I continue to cherish all of it. As I strongly believe that Joss as a flawed human being (just like all of us) is trying his best to redeem himself. I hope that the people that were pointing the finger in his direction might also learn something about their own role and the much bigger powers that were there at the time.
@@rohezalvomambo1208 I think the truth of the controversies lie somewhere in between, not everything is black and white. Not trying to be an apologist for Joss, and I know I'm opening myself up for backlash here and shouldn't bother posting this, but I don't think it was as cut and dry as some ppl think. The interview he finally did was honest and he didn't shy away from admitting mistakes, while also correcting cases where he didn't believe the full truth was out there. I think it's a case of power corrupting - however much of a monster he became, he didn't start out that way. Even here, in S2-3, he's mostly just a nerdy screenwriter-turned-showrunner, who was given full control of everything. There are two sides to every story and no one is perfect, including Charisma and Ray Fisher. And I think we can all agree they aren't the best actors out there, so blaming Joss for all their professional problems as if Joss blacklisted them seems disingenuous. Cyborg was one of the least popular JLA characters, long before the movie, so blaming Joss for not highlighting him more is a stretch. Of course if all their claims are 100% accurate, then it's absolutely not acceptable, and yes there are other accounts of shady behavior, but I think we can all agree objectively that there are far more staff and actors in his movies, series, shorts (and watch-parties at his house with the cast) who didn't report any wrong-doing than who did. Anyway, I love his shows, so I'm clearly biased, but anyone can see that his mistakes don't compare to Weinstein's, and he's not constantly unapologetic and doubling-down like JKR, who I defended for a bit too, thinking her defense of women wasn't an attack on Trans at first, or defiant but clearly guilty, like Spacey. I compare Joss's mistakes to those of others during metoo, who's careers ended, but who admitted their mistakes and showed regret, like Spurlock, Louis CK, and Al Franken. I think we might also reasonably agree that, for a while there, metoo cases that came up were never questioned, people piled on maybe a bit too fast, before getting all the info and the other person's side. Perhaps a bit too quick to believe everything anyone said, but maybe my current mental state is one that people should question things first, because the Harris/Trump debate just happened and Trump brought up people eating cats and dogs, with zero evidence. To quote Bryan Cranston, when asked on the topic of redemption: "It would take time," he said. "It would take a society to forgive them, and tremendous contrition on their part … a knowingness that they have a deeply rooted psychological and emotional problem [that] takes years to mend. If they were to show they put the work in and are truly sorry and making amends, not defending their actions but asking for forgiveness, then maybe down the road there is room for that, maybe so."
I like how circumventive he is about exactly how his movie went from being a dark horror to a comedy...Donald Sutherland used his clout to change it to his liking and since JW wasn't 'established' yet in Hollywood, all he could do was steam. The series is what JW really wanted for the movie.
this is so great! I love this show today and watch pretty much once a year. Including Angel. :) But Sarah "Talk about blowing a job..." tallk about not thinking about what your saying. haha.
Because Angel wasn't his baby, he helped create it but it was David Greenwalt that was more in charge. In Buffy, Joss always directed and wrote the finale and the premier, Greenwalt did the same for Angel.
@4:05 "It was very important that Buffy be the kind of girl that girls could look up to and relate to..." It was perfect. (Did have some failings in the rape-joke, non-slayer-female-empowerment area, though.) I didn't catch them when I was younger.

While watching this, I imagined Whedon periodically coming in with a bullwhip and brutally prompting the cast on what to say or striking them off camera during his own interview.
I started the series because I though it was the movie coming on,little did I know I would fall in love with Buffy and the Scooby gang!!!❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹
this seems so different now that we know what happened
now that we know Carpenter (Cordelia) refused to act because she was pregnant and Joss had to rewrite an entire season of buffy around her being absent from the show and he was rightfully upset so he begged carpenter to keep working. Wow you guys call that mean of Joss?😂. Yet no one is trying to cancel carpenter for cause the crew to have to work double as much to do a whole new script with new lines?😂 double standard again
did he say "the teens all talked like Heathers"?? haah imagine Buffy saying "fuck me gently with a chainsaw"? ahha
But gee Buffy was the best series ever, especially with the Angelus arc. Sarah was incredible as an actress, the perfect second half to Joss' writing
That'll be one of the cut scenes from season six.
Yeah I saw this back in the day but it is a great interview - it was a really great intro to Buffy for people who were new to the show or didn't know/watch it at the time.
I will be always grateful Joss for such fantastic, EPIC show. More than 10 years, and I am still a huge fan and love to rewatch the show from time to time.
Wow, Sara can speak VERY fast:)). But adore her anyway.
i was 9 when this came out and i can't believe it's been this long since buffy!? when i thnk of btvs i'm like oh that was 5yrs ago or so lol. she was my hero and role model growing up and still is. i think sarah michelle gellar is the only actor i'd geek out at if i got to meet her lol
This was the helpless episode ♡😊
2013 Here.And I miss this Show so bad too..
2017 and still missing it here...
if you listen to Sarah talk it is very New Yorker, not the accent but the speed in which she talks. I do the exact same thing and I know people have a hard time following me sometimes just because I rush through everything I have to say. With that, I love Sarah and she has been my idol since i was 7 so I am very happy to know we have another thing in common.
Well she was born in new York
her speech is very good
2013 now and i still watch it...happy 16th birthday Buffy Premiere..you can now be a vampire slayer
really miss this show :(
One of Favorite character on the two shows
2013 and watching Buffy on Netflix everyday :)
Liked.before watching it
I love David's little smirk at 11:24:
"...I probably will turn bad"
Joss Whedon succeeded in making me speak like the characters, I've been watching the show over and over for 5 years and i can't stop speaking like them. I honestly don't know where i end and Buffy begins :P
I loved this series so much and thought that having a female hero to look up to was the greatest thing in the world, finally a girl that could kick ass and save the day. the Buffy the vampire slayer series will always be one of my favorite series and Sara MIchelle Gellar will always be my favorite heroine, Joss Whedon is a Genius in what he creates and what he did when he created BTVS!^_^
just finished season 3 too good, cant wait to start angel.
7:24 settles the discussion on another video of Sunnydale’s location. It is NOT Sunnyvale in Northern California.
(Now, if I can only find that other discussion to link to this.)
(*sighs* and wipes glasses)
I loved this show so badly!!! it was the best teen show ever! full of surprises and very funny... i cried several times especially when she had to kill Nagel after he got his soul back, when Angel left to LA... great great great show!!!!!!!!!!
I'd rather say that movie "The cabin in the woods" by Joss is a tribute for "Buffy". Characters, story line, monsters and the organization that tries to save the world by serving a god are incredibly similar to the series.
I love all Avengers an Loki so much that I realize that they are completely independent and original characters based on comic books and Joss's imagination:)
All glory to the Whedon
this is so awesome
I remember this show when it first came on and love it still. Anyone else notice the very close similarities some of the episodes and plots with Sailor Moon?
he always seems in a mood.
The show. "Helpless" is the name of the episode I believe.
I wish this mild-mannered, sincere guy was who Joss was all the time.
Sadly, he wasn't/isn't and this fact nearly killed this whole universe for me which I've always cherished from the depths of my heart. His behaviour and mindset mocks everything what Buffy/Angel is about.
Let the message of the Buffyverse transcend the real-life actions of its creator and stand out on its own. I truly hope that there will never be a reboot with Whedon involved in any way.
@@rohezalvomambo1208 I continue to cherish all of it. As I strongly believe that Joss as a flawed human being (just like all of us) is trying his best to redeem himself. I hope that the people that were pointing the finger in his direction might also learn something about their own role and the much bigger powers that were there at the time.

I think the truth of the controversies lie somewhere in between, not everything is black and white. Not trying to be an apologist for Joss, and I know I'm opening myself up for backlash here and shouldn't bother posting this, but I don't think it was as cut and dry as some ppl think. The interview he finally did was honest and he didn't shy away from admitting mistakes, while also correcting cases where he didn't believe the full truth was out there. I think it's a case of power corrupting - however much of a monster he became, he didn't start out that way. Even here, in S2-3, he's mostly just a nerdy screenwriter-turned-showrunner, who was given full control of everything. There are two sides to every story and no one is perfect, including Charisma and Ray Fisher. And I think we can all agree they aren't the best actors out there, so blaming Joss for all their professional problems as if Joss blacklisted them seems disingenuous. Cyborg was one of the least popular JLA characters, long before the movie, so blaming Joss for not highlighting him more is a stretch. Of course if all their claims are 100% accurate, then it's absolutely not acceptable, and yes there are other accounts of shady behavior, but I think we can all agree objectively that there are far more staff and actors in his movies, series, shorts (and watch-parties at his house with the cast) who didn't report any wrong-doing than who did.
Anyway, I love his shows, so I'm clearly biased, but anyone can see that his mistakes don't compare to Weinstein's, and he's not constantly unapologetic and doubling-down like JKR, who I defended for a bit too, thinking her defense of women wasn't an attack on Trans at first, or defiant but clearly guilty, like Spacey. I compare Joss's mistakes to those of others during metoo, who's careers ended, but who admitted their mistakes and showed regret, like Spurlock, Louis CK, and Al Franken. I think we might also reasonably agree that, for a while there, metoo cases that came up were never questioned, people piled on maybe a bit too fast, before getting all the info and the other person's side. Perhaps a bit too quick to believe everything anyone said, but maybe my current mental state is one that people should question things first, because the Harris/Trump debate just happened and Trump brought up people eating cats and dogs, with zero evidence.
To quote Bryan Cranston, when asked on the topic of redemption:
"It would take time," he said. "It would take a society to forgive them, and tremendous contrition on their part … a knowingness that they have a deeply rooted psychological and emotional problem [that] takes years to mend. If they were to show they put the work in and are truly sorry and making amends, not defending their actions but asking for forgiveness, then maybe down the road there is room for that, maybe so."
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the algorithm brought this clip up now.
I like how circumventive he is about exactly how his movie went from being a dark horror to a comedy...Donald Sutherland used his clout to change it to his liking and since JW wasn't 'established' yet in Hollywood, all he could do was steam. The series is what JW really wanted for the movie.
this is so great! I love this show today and watch pretty much once a year. Including Angel. :) But Sarah "Talk about blowing a job..." tallk about not thinking about what your saying. haha.
What do you mean ?
It's makeup for an episode she was doing for Buffy. "help" i believe was the name of the episode.
Who's here after the interview with him smh
Because Angel wasn't his baby, he helped create it but it was David Greenwalt that was more in charge. In Buffy, Joss always directed and wrote the finale and the premier, Greenwalt did the same for Angel.
That might be why I didn't like Angel nearly as much as I liked Buffy.
@4:05 "It was very important that Buffy be the kind of girl that girls could look up to and relate to..." It was perfect. (Did have some failings in the rape-joke, non-slayer-female-empowerment area, though.) I didn't catch them when I was younger.
What do you mean?
I agree with Luke. Sarah, you are wrong. Buffy IS the Prettiest girl in the school. Especially in season one.
In season 1 she was 16yo…isn’t it a bit inappropriate to talk abt a teen girl in this manner?
@@miracraigfan1738 She was 19 - as if it matters.
