Buffy Rules! Angel is good too but I can watch Buffy over and over and over...

[Eric]

I love Angel, but Buffy is far superior.

[Faith5byFive]

I love them both the same. Although if i really had to decide i'd pick Angel simply because it's David Boreanaz in every episode which is heaven for me.

[Jezebel Jinx]

Even though I really like Angel it just doesn't reach my BtVS love. So I went with Buffy.

[Jaz ♀♀]

Buffy for the win!....seeing Willow in every episode (and Tara from s4-s6) is total heaven for me! (kinda stealing that 'heaven' line from ANGEL-US, hehe)

We all have our guilty pleasures mine just happens to me Mr Boreanaz *melts*

Im not considering Buffy S1-3 because I feel like AtS is as much a continuation of that as Buffy S4-7 is. So i'll just compare the seasons as they aired:

Angel S1 vs. Buffy S4: Detective noir vibe and amazing character development for characters that began as mere love interests(Angel), comic relief(Cordy) and foils to the main characters (Cordy and Wesley) vs. The Initiative, a boring college setting, and Riley. No brainer.

Angel S2 vs Buffy S5: Darla >>>> Glory. Also, Dawn. Come on now.

Angel S3 vs. Buffy S6: This season of Buffy pretty much ensured that i'd never really care about the core 3 ever again, so I kind of hate it for that. Charming musical episodes not withstanding.

Angel S4 vs. Buffy S7: Angel S4 pisses me off, but it was entertaining the first time through, and at least I still cared enough to get pissed off. Buffy S7 is just kind of "there."

Angel S5: A whole hell of a lot better than those last 2 seasons of Buffy.

So Angel for me.

Hey--I resent that!

Seriously, tho, this is the only one of the 4 comparisons I disagree with you on. The Angel/Darla interaction made for some great character development for both of them, but other than W&H also being fleshed out a little more, I think this was really the only thing AtS S2 had going for it.

I've never been clear on exactly what W&H's plan for Darla really was, and I kinda get the impression that Holland, and the show's writers themselves, were making it up as they went along. Her arc also comes to a bit of an abrupt end 2/3 of the way thru the season, which apparently had to do with a movie that Julie Benz couldn't get out of. Now, the way her storyline ended in S2 was good, certainly, but I would rather it had played out all the way thru the end of ep22. Unlike a lot of people, I actually like the Pylean episodes, but they do make for a weak season-ender.

Also, Glory and Darla: 2 completely different types of characters, so it's not even a fair comparison. Darla's there to specifically provide a personal connection for Angel's character to work off of. On "Buffy", the main characters all manage to do that thru their relationships with each other. Glory's just there as the outside threat. She's strictly an evil figure-of-fun, and is right up there with the Mayor as possibly the awesomest Big Bad ever. ;D

(And Wesley does get some good character development in S2, so that's worth mentioning, also.)

Angel S3 vs. Buffy S6: This season of Buffy pretty much ensured that i'd never really care about the core 3 ever again, so I kind of hate it for that. Charming musical episodes not withstanding.

Seconded. They didn't follow this up with anything in S7 to make me hate them and turn the TV off, but it weakened my attachment to all 3 of them, and made it so that when they did get back to doing stuff that I hated in S8, it was very easy to stop buying the book each month.

[Miss. Rogueh]

What about Firefly and Dollhouse?

[buffyfan21]

I love Angel, but Buffy will always be my fave.

[Wyndam]

Angel is the greatest show ever created.

[Randi Giles]

I always go back and fourth on which show I love the most, so I voted I love them both the same. There are time where I think WOW Angel is so freaking awesome, but then Buffy was my first obsession. Then again thinking about it as I type I wish I could retract my vote for Angel. Sometimes when I think of Buffy vs. Angel I think of Chosen vs. NFA. NFA always gets' me. :sigh: I love that episode.

[PJ]

angel is awesome, but buffy was first and i loved it before i loved angel so...
BUFFY WINS!!!!

Yeah, the Angel S2 vs. Buffy S5 was the only one that was close for me. Both seasons were great IMO, and it could go either way really. I'll also concede that my Angel bias might be due to me being a somewhat stereotypical guy. I've been doing a rewatch of both shows and am currently on Buff S4/Angel S1. Buffy currently has a heavy emphasis on Buffy and Willow discussing their romantic problems(or lack of) and fighting metaphors for said problems while Angel has a heavy emphasis on tracking down serial killers and people getting kicked in the face. No points for guessing which I naturally gravitate to.

Seconded. They didn't follow this up with anything in S7 to make me hate them and turn the TV off, but it weakened my attachment to all 3 of them, and made it so that when they did get back to doing stuff that I hated in S8, it was very easy to stop buying the book each month.

When I say I don't care about the core scoobies, I REALLY mean I dont. I dont even know if Buffy S8 is well written or not, I just quit it because I didnt care about anyone in it (except for BKV's Faith/Giles arc (oh I read the Twilight reveal issue too. Is it possible to write something more traumatizing than a Cordy/Conner hook up? YES)).

[Tea - Total]

I say Buffy, That show was magnificent , Angel was too long and boring at times but its still good.
Buffy had arrange of episode which was more superior then Angel, Angel arrange of episode which was connected to the ARC was boring at times, Still like Angel.

Buffy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Angel...

[slayerthorn]

I like Angel, but I like Buffy more. I think it is because I can relate to it better.

[missharmonykendall]

I really like Angel, but Buffy has been my favorite show alittle bit longer and me and my sister watch it over and over alot. So I voted Buffy for those reasons!

[VampSlayer]

I love both of them, but I voted for Angel. I just loooove that show too much. </3

[Tea - Total]

Angel is great.
But Buffy was way better.
