Topic: Best Joss show?

After what seems like an eternity of waiting, Joss Whedon's new show, Dollhouse, starts on Friday, so this weeks polls will be dedicated to this event.

I think I know what the ultimate answer to this will be, but up to now, which of Joss's shows do you think is the best.

Let the battle begin.

Re: Best Joss show?

I'm not a fan so that's my vote...

...where did I put that rat's ass I could give?

Daemons are benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and gods, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the gods themselves.

Re: Best Joss show?

It's almost impossible for me to choose between Firefly, Buffy, and Angel, so I basically just had to click at random. I was an atheist until Joss became my god. It's true.

Re: Best Joss show?

Too easy as I don't like Buffy or Angel wink

I really wonder how good Dollhouse will be smile

Re: Best Joss show?

Went for firefly, but I am a huge Joss-fan, do it might not be the easiest choice...

I am really disappointed that "Joss who?" has the lead in this poll.... we are one a tv-show site, and people don't know who Joss Whedon is! That's embarrassing... hmm

Really looking forward to Dollhouse... have high hopes for that one... and Joss hasn't let me down yet wink

Is a bit, isn't it?  They must be some very secluded television watchers who chose that option.

Re: Best Joss show?

I enjoyed Buffy but felt it was 1 -2 seasons too long (the crappy one somewhere in the middle with the cyborg!! eck!)
Firefly was good but it took me a few episodes to get into the mythology and get my head around space cowboys and by the time I was starting to love it... it was over ;(

My vote definitely has to go to Angel!! Characters you already knew, more adult than buffy, great story lines, highlander-like flashbacks, charisma carpenter... what more can you ask for?

One of the best series EVER!

Re: Best Joss show?

i went for buffy, although i do agree angel was more adult, i just didnt like enough of the episodes.
didnt get into firefly enough, i probs shud give it a proper go really.
im watching buffy again at the moment (well buffy and angel once we get past this 3rd season) with my gf cus shes never seen any of either...some how.
and i do have to disagree about how long it went on for, cus yes the 6th season pretty much sucked, the 7th was awesome, there arnt many shows that you can say the final season was one of the best, but i do think buffy and angel's final season were (mayber not the best) but one of the best seasons in the series.

Re: Best Joss show?

Re: Best Joss show?

Oh my God, Buffy is the best one out of the lot! I'm really not into the sci-fi stuff so I didn't bother watching Firefly, but I did watch Serenity when it came out at the insistence of one my my friends who loved Firefly and my goodness, I actually fell asleep halfway - it was so dull! And so totally weird!

I recently bought the entire box sets of Buffy and Angel (the plus side of the credit crunch - Zavvi going into administration and practically giving away the DVDs) and was amazed at just how good Buffy is! And my favourite season was 6 (two of the best episodes - Once more with feeling and Tabula rasa).

Angel - only just got onto season 2 as I took a long break after they killed off Doyle, totally broke my heart :-(

Re: Best Joss show?

buffy.  no contest

if the apocalypse comes.... beep me!

Re: Best Joss show?

No real contest here, it's Firefly. I tried to watch Buffy but it seemed a bit juvenile even though I usually like juvenile.  I liked Angel and watched all seasons but come on, Firefly was the best TV show ever made.

So what's Dollhouse about?

Re: Best Joss show?

agree that firefly is one of the best shows ever made, but buffy will always be my number one.  everything that can be said has been said about it, but i think buffy is quite the genius show.  angel is awesome too.  but buffys got them beat smile  (in my opinion)

if the apocalypse comes.... beep me!

Re: Best Joss show?

Close between Buffy and Angel but way ahead by millions of miles....FIREFLY.

Re: Best Joss show?

How? Why? It's not even many episodes to watch!

Re: Best Joss show?

You have to put all the shows in their time frames, Buffy started out as crap, new actors and low funds, but developed into a great show. Angel started of with experienced actors, prolly on the Buffy budget, and it was a good spin-off! And I have to agree that both last seasons were one of the best seasons, perhaps even the best!
Firefly was awesome as well and obviously started of with a higher budget, too bad there WEREN'T MORE SEASONS!!!

Still went with Buffy, of course smile

No kitty that's a bad kitty!

Don't worry I ask myself the same thing. I started watching it with my wife (as per usual my wife feel asleep 1/2 way through episode 2) this is never unexpected as it happens to her with "ALL shows" watched after 10pm.

I kept going to ep 4........ then I was abducted by aliens (they looked a lot like my kids) tongue
And for some reason I just haven't got back to them. (once again hangs head in shame)

Re: Best Joss show?

It my not be fair to compare the three Joss shows head to head. After all Buffy and Angel are fantasy action shows while, Firefly was a true Science Fiction show. It seemed to strive for realism even to the point of having no sound in space. That's truly a rare thing on a Sci Fi TV show.
