 Buffy
the Vampire Slayer is an American cult television series that aired
from March 10, 1997 until May 20, 2003. It was created by
writer-director Joss Whedon. The series follows Buffy Anne Summers
(played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women
chosen by fate to battle vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness
as the Slayer. Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who
guides and trains her. Unlike her predecessors, Buffy surrounds herself
with a circle of loyal friends who become known as the "Scooby Gang."
 Angel
is a spin-off of the Buffy series. It was also created by Joss Whedon
(in collaboration with David Greenwalt) and first aired on October 5,
1999. The show details the ongoing trials of the vampire, Angel, who
has his human soul restored to him by gypsies as punishment for more
than a century of murder and torture of innocents. This leaves him
tormented by guilt and remorse. The atmosphere of the show is darker,
and at times it performed better in the U.S. Nielsen Ratings than its
parent series.
