Beware Sue. That show is so addicting. Let me tell you. My sophomore year in college I started an unhealthy but wonderful addiction to Buffy that went all the way through college. I actually watched it so often I burnt myself out. Now I just love Buffy from a distance. I haven't watched an ep in almost 2 years! I'm pro Buffy/Spike. If you keep watching them, you'll see what I mean. Also, Angel was a fun spin off. *sigh* Joss Whedon is a genious.
