About the Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition DVD Boxed Set
The teen years can be
brutal. Especially when you’re Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) – a
Sunnydale High School student destined to slay supernatural,
blood-sucking baddies instead of hanging out at the
mall. Over the seven seasons of this thrilling, witty show, Buffy
struggles to maintain allies in the fight against evil, while also
engaging in on-off romances with a moody vampire (David Boreanaz) or two
(James Marsters). Now you can own this 39-disc set
containing all 144 episodes of one of the smartest, funniest, most
action-packed series ever to slay on the small screen – also starring
Alyson Hannigan, Anthony Head and Nicholas Brendon.
