Buffy was a super inconsistent show. Angel was way, way better. No doubt. But I loved Spike like crazy, so there's a lot of Buffy the show that I still love like crazy, too.

It was amazing how much better Boreanaz got as an actor over the course of the two shows. Even now, I have a hard time watching Angel the character in the first few seasons of Buffy, because Boreanaz just is pretty dreadful all around. By the time he got his own show, he was so improved and so much more awesome and I just ended up loving him.
