“BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER” is the best show in the history of television.

This is an arguable proposition, of course. M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Seinfeld, Cheers, The Honeymooners, I Love Lucy–they’re all great shows. They’re also all half-hour comedies. Besides Buffy, what other hour-long drama belongs on the short list? Probably Homicide: Life on the Street. That’s about it.
