Fun I think is how I could sum up this soundtrack in one word! It's currently all I'm listening to! Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day have beautiful voices and really bring the musical to life! "Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog" CD is a soundtrack to Joss Whedon's brilliant musical that is on DVD by the same name :D It's about a villian, Doctor Horrible, who is trying to get into the evil league (and take over the world if he can) while trying to win the heart of Penny. This gets complicated when Penny starts to date Captain Hammer, Doctor Horrible's archenemy. My favorite song on this is "My Freeze Ray," which after watching it I hadn't recognized the title and then when I listened to it, I was like "oh yeah..." and was even more impressed by Joss Whedon's brilliance in putting this together and bring it to DVD and CD! Though this wasn't like a big publicized and put into theatres everywhere kind of thing, the production of both the DVD and CD are amazing! It is clear and beautiful and really captures the talented singing well! I would definitely recommend this for a friend!

Dr Horrible's sing-along blog is a nice musical. The cast is really good and I got it because of the cast in the first place. But the story is really good too, currently it's one of my favorites show ever watched, and I would really like a sequel. The only bad point I see is that it's only around 40 minutes long, I wanted more!

I love Dr Horrible and it's so great to have the music available to me now. My only complaint is that it doesn't play in my car CD player. Not entirely sure why but I ripped it to my Zune and play it through there now.

If you like the movie (/show), than you will like this. If you like other Joss Whedon work, than you need to check this show out (at the least). It's all the music in the entire series (including intro and exit instrumental's). It's a little pricey as it's all the shows 14 songs, but half are shy of 2 min (quick songs). However, it was 100% independently written, performed and funded (mostly by Joss Whedon's family and friends). In those regards, you can consider this actually pretty well done and profits pretty much going to only them. There's not much more to say. In the end, those who are fairly big fans, or something more, of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog will definitely want to have this.

This short musical film (40 minutes long) is one of the most creative refreshingly-entertaining films I have seen in a very long time. The writing is witty, the characters are colorful and the acting is amazing. It is well worth a watch!

As the title of the review states, this was the only worthwhile episode in the entire last two seasons of what had once been a fantastic series. The songs are great fun, the episode crackled with the kind of excitement you used to be able to depend on from Buffy. Unfortunately, even the good can't totally erase the fact that it started that abomination known in the fandom as Spuffy, where Spike, showing what a true monster he is, takes advantage of the fact that Buffy is suffering from PTSS (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome), and in no way shape or form in her right mind, rapes her for the remainder of the season. Of course, Buffy isn't the only character who was badly mistreated in the last two seasons, none of the characters, except Tara, come off really well, and we all know what happened to her!

This is GREAT! Loved this particular episode, and its so nice to have the music. I actually bought two - one for me, and one as a gift for a buddy. All original music, and the actors sing their own songs. There's also some extra tracks with music from other episodes. If they reprint it, I hope they include the song that Anya sings later in another episode that flashes back to this one. Too fun!! Only thing to watch - one CD was fine, the other acted a little oddly, spun very noisily, when used in the car. Oh, well, totally worth it.

I searched all over for this soundtrack and I was so excited when I finally found it. Not only does it have the music from Whedon's Buffy musical but it has the music from the episodes "Restless" and "Hush"!

I really love this soundtrack.It has a few extras besides just the music from the musical and it's worth the price.

I brought this soundtrack as a gift for my mother and she loved it. This product was in great condition and not a scratch on the cd. I was completely satisfied with this product.

It was an ok cd. If you are a fan the cd is about a 6 on a 1 to 10 scale.

I recieved my product in mint condition and a timely fashion. I would buy from this seller again. Tiffini Truth

I think this is the best soundtrack i've ever had. It has 18 songs, each different then the last. I believe every song has been in an episode of the show. Some of my favorites include "I quit", "lucky" "virgin state of mind" and "nothing but you". The songs fit very well with the show and are great for everything else. Some of my all time favorite music. An amazing soundtrack for an amazing show!

My girlfriend loves her Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so she loves this CD. If you were a fan of the Buffy series then this is a must own.

Listening to the cd takes you back to some of the episodes of Buffy. Enjoyable cd to listen too.

I got this movie cause I saw the TV show and I wanted to see what the movie was like. This movie is not that great and if it were not for the TV series, it would probably fall off the face of the planet. Do yourself a favor and just try to rent it from somewhere.

Very teen movie. Accurate valley girls, real air heads. Simple plot. Luke Perry's 4th movie before SNL. Hilary Swank's frist movie before they both did 90210. Don't expect much from this 1992 movie and you'll find it's a laugh riot. It's how the whole Buffyverse got started.

As fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer the television series know, this movie from 1992 does not function as a prequel to the series. Creator Joss Whedon did write the script, but all the freshness and creativity was sucked out by the director, lines were read badly or completely misread, and the entire production team just didn't get what Whedon was trying to say. After this introduction, comparisons between the movie and the series will cease, but I just thought I should warn anyone who might be new to Joss Whedon's work that this movie is nothing like Joss's vision of Buffy. That can all be found in the TV series and, currently, the comics. But as for this movie... One would think that this could be an adorable, cheesy movie. One would think the bittersweetness of a bad director messing up Joss Whedon's vision would fade once the film started. One would think that the movie might be so cheesy that it, like all of the corniest films, would be entertaining because of the overt cheesiness. But... no. The scenes that are supposed to be hilarious--the extra long death of Paul Reubens's character--was so awfully unfunny that I seriously debated turning off the movie, even though there was only ten minutes left. The scenes that are supposed to be dramatic--Buffy's "big win" at the end, as well as the major death scene--fell entirely flat, due to out of place dramatic pauses, bad readings of good lines, and the--sorry, all--bad acting of Kristy Swanson. While the movie is devoid of quirk or real understanding of the feminist message Whedon wove into the script, it's not all bad. As a reviewer said, it did indeed pave the way for things to come, because without the movie, there would never have been the show. Also, Luke Perry gave a nice performance as Pike, and Hilary Swank's talent was able to shine through the badness of this movie, despite how small her role was. But aside from those actors, some gems in the script, and a hilariously random cameo from then no body Ben Affleck, this movie isn't worth seeing, no matter how much you love the REAL "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." 3/10

If you're a fan of the tv show, you might be really disappointed in this one if you're looking for more of the same thing. The tone, pacing, and overall feel are very different. The original movie is much more of a comedy and a bit of a silly one at that. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's much more for a fan of fun 80s movies thatn for the BTVS series. Some of the lines are very cheesy and haven't aged well, but the fun of the movie is still there. It's entertaining and can keep you in good spirits for nearly 2 hours. Fun for fans of light comedy, not for the horror fanatic or diehard BTVS fan.

This is a great movie for the lighthearted, cheesy, comedic angle. I prefer this type of thing to the TV series, which takes itself WAY to seriously. This movie is a great lighthearted laugh or two.

The VDO is good i like the angel episode:D...the puppet show wz ok but the VDO is worth it 4 just the Angel episode:D

This third and final tape in the collection of episodes from the first season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" presents "Angel," one of the pivotal episodes, along with a rather pedestrian effort "The Puppet Show." What this means of course is that like most aficionados of Buffy I am stunned that the set concludes with "The Puppet Show" instead of the pivotal "Prophecy Girl" which wrapped up the whole story arc regarding the Master. Fortunately, Joss Whedon has been more selective in his collections for seasons two and three."Angel," written by David Greenwalt, really completes the initial set up for the series as Buffy learns that the mysterious man in her life is not only a vampire, but also a vampire with a soul. What a difference a kiss can make. This is where the ascent to the epic heights of "Becoming," which ended the second season, really begins as Buffy and Angel are established as two of the most star-crossed lovers in history. After the shattering revelation in "Angel," the adventure of Sid the talking dummy in "The Puppet Show," written by Dean Batali & Rob Des Hotel, is something of a let down, although the tag sequence of Buffy, Willow and Xander butchering "Oedipus Rex" is truly memorable. But when it comes to significant episodes in the Buffy mythos, "Angel" is definitely on the short list.

"Angel" is a very pivotal episode from the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when Buffy discovers her boyfriend is a vampire with a soul, but "The Puppet Show" is a below average one, although the tag sequence is a hoot. Why you would want just this tape instead of the entire boxed set is beyond me.

In all of television history, I can't think of a better love story than that of Angel and Buffy, the mismatched lovers on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." It has passion, sex, violence, all the angst of youth tormented by parents and a world that contrives to keep them apart. The episode "Angel" introduces us to that romance and it's a great way for newcomers to the series to catch up. "The Puppet Show" is creepy but also a real riot. The strength of "Buffy" has always been its knack for portraying high school as a horror movie. Sure, vampires are scary. But so are high school principals with Napoleon complexes. I only hope the WB releases more episodes on videotape.

I like this video the most out of the slayer 3-pack because it contains one of the funniest angel and buffy moments in "angel." Angel has been hiding in her bedroom while Buffy was in school. When she comes back, she sees her diary on the table and freaks out. Accusing him of reading it, she rambles on that when she called him a hunk in the diary, she meant it in a bad way and that when she described his eyes as penetrating, she really meant to write bulgy. I just think this moment was well-written, which is the norm for the show anyway. In this episode, she discovers that angel is a vampire but that doesn't really seem to throw her off too much as buffy and willow discuss a possible relationship with angel. Their first kiss occurs in this show. "Puppet show" was also funny with the trio forced into participating in the school talent show while trying to find a murderer. As the end credits roll, you'll see how horrible xander, willow and buffy are in the talent show. Also, if they can put the whole 1st season of sex in the city on video, they can certainly do the same for buffy (which is a better show anyway). Or at least produce more videos for us buffy fans. This is my favorite show on TV because of its sarcasm, humor, action, and drama.

Awesome Show! But why buy a stupid video tape thats only got 2 episodes when you can get the complete season 1 on DVD and get these two episodes and the rest of the episodes? And Besidse that Video tapes and VCR's are going to become obsolete!

With the DVD of Season 1 out, this is a true collector's item.Treasure it, it's going to be worth a lot.

I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction into the Buffyverse especially since I did not start watching the show until well into its third season. It was great fun seeing the characters interact and get to know each other as they battled the creatures of the dark. With this video I get to track the development of the Slayer, the Scooby gang, and everyone's favorite Watcher/Librarian, Giles. Can't wait to get my hands on another boxed set.

Looking back at the earliest 'Buffy' episodes, it's always hard not to get at least a little bit nostalgic. These two episodes are stand-alone ones, not really anything to do with the main story arc. That doesn't mean to say that they're not wonderful fun though. In a way, it's these episodes just as much as the big ones that make it. In these earlier years, the show was new and exciting. It's blend of action with drama and comedy made it a slow but undeniable hit with British and American audiences.'Witch' sees the introduction of Amy Madison, who was later to feature prominently in episodes such as 'Bewitched, Bewildered and Beautiful' and 'Gingerbread'. The supernatural intrigue story may seem old but it's the way it's told which makes 'Buffy' such a winner. There's pop culture references which punctuate the punchy dialogue and some hilarious comedy made from Buffy's formidable strength as she throws one cheerleader across the room whilst trying out a new routine.In 'Never Kill A Boy On The First Date', the audience gets to meet shy quiet Owen who has a penchant for Emily Dickinson and Buffy. Here a nightmare date brings a whole new quality to it, with the night ending at the Sunnydale Funeral Home.It's strange looking back because we know what's to come for the characters that we have grown to love. We know the fates of Angel, Joyce and Buffy. We know that shy retiring Willow becomes something else entirely. In this the show has really broken all expectations. It's managed to give its characters dimension without it appearing ludicrous. Looking back only goes to show how much they've changed in not only a realistic but also a touching way.

I have always loved Buffy, since her first dusting, to the tragic events of Joyce Summers. This is a pair of my favorite episodes, the only others are "Hush" and "Prophecy Girl" Buy it!!!! you'll love it, trust me on this one!
