Here's where we talk about what we liked, loathed and adored about Buffy, Angel, Firefly, thier brilliant actors, writers and producers, and of course Joss himself.”

FIREFLY! Honestly, I have never seen any of his other series. I LOVE FIREFLY though. It's just a shame that is was canceled, due to FOX's poor management of the show...

fox's handling of firefly sucked something terrible, but i really think you should start getting into the buffy and angel dvd's: theyre fantastic and i dont know one person whose given them a fair try and hasnt loved them. but bear with me on season 1 and the beginning couple of eps in season 2 of buffy, they were just picking up speed!

I will most certainly give Buffy and Angel a try... if they are a fraction as good as Firefly, then I'm sure I will love them.

Buffy has and will always be my favorite Whedon show. Actually it will always be my favorite show period.

Buffy was funnier than Angel, more lighthearted, especially with Xander, Anya, and Andrew. I think that it why I love it so much. Plus it was my baby since 1997. No scratch that, I loved Buffy the movie in 1992 (for reasons I don't even know). When Joss brought it to TV, I immediately fell in love with it. When Angel left I was sad until I realized his spin-off was amazing too. It wasn't the same as Buffy, which now I realize it a good thing, but Angel still had humor. It just had a darker edge to it. I loved that show too. However, I think once Cordy left, the show lost some of that until Spike was brought in for season 5.

Firefly was an amazing show that was canceled prematurely obviously. I was never as big of a fan of Firefly as the other two, but I still was in love with it. It just didn't have vampires, which is kinda my thing. I was ecstatic when Serenity came out.

Errrr...do I have to decide? Buffy...no Angel...Buffy...no Angel. Heck, I don't know! I love them both. Buffy had Angel (okay, so I adore Angel)...and a group of great characters, some fantastic villians (the Mayor and Glory stand out especially to me) and sometimes epic storylines...as well as a phenominal musical episode.
Angel was more serious and sometimes darker, but just as much fun.

I couldn't get into Firefly, though I did enjoy Serenity when it came out.

Angel is my favorite, then Buffy, then Firefly/Serenity....although I love them all. Angel just has a darker feel to it then Buffy, which I love, and it has something that none of the other shows has and thats Winifred Burkle, quite possibly my favorite television character ever...love me some Amy Acker...

Buffy hands down, it was my first Whedon love and will always be my favorite. Angel certainly is a great show on it's own right. Firefly is different than the others but still has an incredibly strong female character and deserves another network willing to give it life once again
