I don't have strong feelings other than being a huge Buffy fan from back in the day, but I have a lot of respect for her for what she is doing now to take care of the younger stars of her show in light of her terrible experience. From what others have said, she did a lot for her castmates back in the day as well.

OP is likely Gen X, as well. Buffy is a solidly Gen X show, are you granny X?

But then I find out that the show's going to stream exclusively on Paramount+ and I'm just so frustrated. I am not going to sign up for yet another streaming service, no matter how much good will I have towards Hollywood's nicest and longest-lasting couple. I'm sorry but I pay for Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime. I don't even get to watch as much stuff as I should be watching each month.

I'm not also paying for Paramount+ on top of all that. Not made of money here.

Lady. People pay for whatever services the shows they want to watch are on. The great thing about streaming services is that you can pay for a few months while you watch a show and then you can stop. We paid for Peacock during the Olympics, for example.

I think that's kind of the point, hater. She's boring, she's only doing the publicity because she's been asked to, not because she's desperately seeking attention. Good for her!

I think you may have a point. I have nothing against Gellar and Prinze, I just don't see the appeal beyond basic good behavior. (We're congratulating a couple for achieving basic decency now?) They seem totally inoffensive, but they also don't seem very interesting. Coming from their position of privilege, they probably could've done a lot more with their lives than just coast on their successes and diplomatically stay out of drama. *shrug*

I saw the trailer for Wolf Pack+ and it seems silly. There are other fantasy TV shows out there right now, like House of the Dragon, which are better IMO.

And Buffy didn't seem silly when it started?

In their recent (and rare) red carpet appearance to promote Sarah's new show, they look so chill. They dress for the red carpet how they want to, not with try-hard couture. They've aged without anxiety and haven't tried to reverse or halt the aging process.

And while Sarah Michelle Gellar was silent for the sake of her own mental health about what she had to deal with on Buffy from Joss Whedon (while supporting other actors who spoke out), Freddie was a protective husband and spoke up about the way Whedon worked his wife brutal hours and didn't compensate her fairly.

These two have handled their blessings so well and I just want to share that this makes me happy.

Was he a teen heartthrob? I thought he was nobody, sort of like Jessica Alba's husband. Celeb marriages only seem to work out when one of them isn't famous.

They met while filming I Know What You Did Last Summer. He was definitely a teen heartthrob. She's All That comes to mind. Then he was in the Scooby Doo movies. He also had a famous parent who was a casualty of Hollywood/the industry, so that might help him keep his head on straight. It seems like his mom and her family did a great job with him.

I remember her name from Buffy but have never heard of him. 47F.

I'm 46 and he did a bunch of teen movies when I was in college - did you never see She's All That or I Know What You Did Last Summer???

I feel the same way about all of them too- that they take themselves too seriously and are pretty annoying. I know I am in the minority here! None of them seem genuine- though I don't know why I feel that way-it's not like we've met.

PP you're replying to here. I was never really a fan of Buffy and didn't make it past the first 2 episodes, ever. I didn't like that the script required SMG to slut-shame herself in like the first or second episode, I thought Xander or whoever her guy friend was called was toxic AF, and being of Hindu heritage, I was pretty pissed off that Lord Shiva was included in the opening theme song as one of the demons and monsters that Buffy has to slay.

DP, 44F. Did you spend your teens/20s under a rock?

The PP who has never seen a Freddie Prinze Jr. teen movie might've grown up in another country. I spent part of my childhood abroad and while I had friends to share my crush on Nick Carter, people didn't really know about Freddie.

He is dreamy as hell in She's All That, though. That movie also sums up the 90s, for good or for ill. Some cringey lines that we wouldn't use today, but so romantic and cute and 90s.

Really? Just looks like good skincare and good eating habits to me.

You know she’s a voracious smoker, right?

No? Are there pics?

I also thought it was kind of weird that the British school librarian would stand SO close to Buffy, and sometimes block or enclose her (without touching) with his arms, considering Buffy is a teenager and the librarian is a faculty member at her school. So much was wrong with that show, long before Spike attempted to rape Buffy.

Interesting. I'm the person you're responding to and am also Hindu, and I have no idea what you're talking about. Please elaborate on this.

No, I just don’t tend to watch comedies or blockbuster type movies. Mostly independent stuff.
