This generous three-disc set from
20th Century Fox collects all 12 episodes from the first season of
Joss Whedon's cult favorite
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Each episode is presented with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves its original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. English and Spanish subtitles are accessible. The episodes included in this collection are "
Welcome to the Hellmouth"/"
The Harvest" (the two-hour pilot that was separated into two different one-hour episodes for rebroadcast), "
Witch," "
Teacher's Pet," "
Never Kill a Boy on the First Date," "
The Pack," "
Angel," "
I Robot, You Jane," "
The Puppet Show," "
Nightmares," "
Out of Mind, Out of Sight," and "
Prophecy Girl." The excellent supplemental materials include interviews with
Whedon and actor
David Boreanaz (
Angel),
Buffy television advertisements, a photo gallery, cast biographies, and a commentary track from
Whedon during "
Welcome to the Hellmouth," as well as that episode's script. This is an outstanding disc that should earn
Buffy a legion of new fans while satisfying the hardcore enthusiasts.
