(Anonymous) 2013-06-13 01:25 am (UTC)(link)2) Revolutionary and 15 years ago -- and not just for all the female characters. As one of the flagship shows on the WB, it was huge in the same way 21 Jump Street and 90120 were for FOX when it first showed up. Watch 21JS now and it sounds ridiculous ... but both networks, when they premiered, were showing teenagers for the first time AS TEENS, not After School Specials. But Buffy and Dawson and Felicity all paved the way for the shows now that treat teenagers as people who are capable of real thought, real conversation, real emotion. Teens became more than football/basketball stars or cheerleaders. Stupid mistakes had consequences for more than a single Very Special Episode. For the ramifications (good and bad) of Buffy having teen sex to extend for the back half of a season was huge. For her to run away and there be consequences, for Willow and Cordelia to go through their very long transformations/arcs to become strong, brave adults. Those things mattered. Was it perfect? Hell no. But for those of us who really had no teens on tv to relate to unless they were family sitcom fodder or After School Specials, it was a revolution. Until Buffy, until Joss -- who, yes, was really at the right place at the right time, which is part of where it all comes from -- all we had was Judy Blume and Sweet Valley High and the like.
So. Yeah. Maybe Joss isn't perfect. Maybe it was right place right time. But he at least gave us an hour a week that meant we weren't stuck with yet another Pleasantville daughter.
