You watch a show about...what? is a satirical essay by Chrislee.

It is one of many essays at Octaves, a Buffy and Angel website.

"Rambling thoughts about the show that changed my world."

Excerpt

I entered a whole new world when I started watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." For fans of the show, this will not be earth-shattering information. Try to explain it to the uninitiated, though. They don't get it. Not even a little bit. There are a few stumbling blocks. First, the name. "Buffy…the…Vampire…Slayer." What in the heck is a vampire slayer? For that matter, what in the heck is a Buffy? Even at this early stage in my explanation I can feel the warm glow that comes from knowing something that someone else doesn't. I've been basking in the glow of superior television for the past three years and now, I get to talk about it!
