Origins
Writer
Joss Whedon says that "
Rhonda the Immortal Waitress was really the first incarnation of the
Buffy concept, just the idea of some woman who seems to be completely insignificant who turns out to be extraordinary."
[8] This early, unproduced idea evolved into
Buffy, which Whedon developed to invert the Hollywood formula of "the little blonde girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed in every
horror movie."
[9] Whedon wanted "to subvert that idea and create someone who was a hero."
[9] He explained, "The very first mission statement of the show was the joy of female power: having it, using it, sharing it."

The director,
Fran Rubel Kuzui, saw it as a "pop culture comedy about what people think about
vampires."

She described her approach to auditions in an interview through her treatment of a particular moment: Willow tells Buffy that her
Barbie doll was taken from her as a child, and Buffy asks if she ever got the Barbie back. "Willow's line was 'Most of it.' And so I thought I'm gonna make that a really happy thing. I was so proud that she got most of it back. That clued in on how I was going to play the rest of the scene. It defines the character."
[34] Her approach subsequently helped her win the role.
Broadcast history and syndication
UPN took great advantage promoting the network switch by teasing fans of Buffy's resurrection from The WB's series finale.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer first aired on March 10, 1997 (as a mid season replacement for the show
Savannah) on the
WB network, and played a key role in the growth of the
Warner Bros. television network in its early years.

Buffy studiesBuffy is notable for attracting the interest of scholars of popular culture as a subset of
popular culture studies. Academic settings increasingly include the show as a topic of literary study and analysis.
[94][95] National Public Radio describes
Buffy as having a "special following among academics, some of whom have staked a claim in what they call 'Buffy Studies.'"
[96] Though not widely recognized as a distinct discipline, the term "Buffy studies" is commonly used amongst the peer-reviewed academic
Buffy-related writings.
[97] The response to this attention has had its critics.

Buffy was moved from Monday at 9 p.m. to launch The WB's new night of programming on Tuesday. Due to its large success in that time slot, it remained on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. for the remainder of its original run.

Bryan Fuller, the creator of
Dead Like Me, said that "
Buffy showed that young women could be in situations that were both fantastic and relatable, and instead of shunting women off to the side, it puts them at the center."

Meanwhile, the
Parents Television Council complained of efforts to "deluge their young viewing audiences with adult themes."
[112] The
FCC, however, rejected the Council's indecency complaint concerning the violent sex scene between Buffy and Spike in "
Smashed"
[113] The BBC, however, chose to censor some of the more controversial sexual content when it was shown on the pre-
watershed 6:45pm slot.
