Chosen by fate to battle vampires and demons, Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy Summers has trouble coming to grips with her destiny — often wishing she could be a normal person and not a Vampire Slayer. As we’ve seen throughout film history, vampires are a popular topic. So, it wasn’t shocking to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer quickly become a fan-favorite. It would have been easy to dismiss it as a corny supernatural show, but strong storylines and powerful performances cemented Buffy‘s place in TV history. In total, Buffy ran for seven seasons between 1997-2003.
