Buffy is not a comedy drama

I think the blog title says it all. Here I am trying to write a news story and I am distracted by things like an article describing Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a comedy drama show. I mean, have they even seen the series? Sure it can be funny but there is no way that could ever be classed as a comedy drama.

Check the article out on Kentucky.com. Paragraph 3: what’s with that. Buffy is SF (speculative fiction). You can extend the genre to teen, maybe even stretch it all the way to drama. But comedy drama? Let’s get serious here people.

Speaking of Buffy, we are still looking and hoping for new life. There was talk of a Dawn the Vampire Slayer spinoff – pure rumour as far as anyone could make out. But apparently the Buffy the animated series is back in production so that should be something to look forward to.  Providing it’s pulled of well, but I’m not sure it’s even possible for Joss to do something badly, the original Buffy movie excluded.

As for talking Buffy there is only one place to do it: BuffyTalk.com. I say that not just to plug but because it still is an active community with new posts every day and new members signing up regularly. Including you: do it now!
