“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.

Why would I reward Fox by buying anything from them after they initially screwed up Firefly by changing airing days and times, and destroying the storyline by airing out of sequence, then wondering why the ratings were off, and finally canceling it. Crazy like a Fox.

Fox do this a lot. They the exact same with “Almost Human”, another excellent sc-fi series, sadly cancelled.
