No doubt about it, the TV viewing world loves
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In fact, there are some of us ... ahem ... who just can't seem to let it go.
Yeah, I just called the kettle black, as I mourn for
Buffy like no other show in the history of television. However, now that a
massive mulitiplayer online Buffy game has been announced, I am wondering if all the
Buffy love has gone just a bit too far.
I could stomach the previous video games, mostly because they weren't purchased by anyone in my household, and I have even been known to read the season eight comic books (which may or may not have something to do with the storyline of the MMO game).

I was lucky enough to get an early draft of the first issue from the series, so read on for a few not-so spoilery tidbits.

If you're a fan of Joss Whedon's dry humor, you'll love his
"guest
columnist" appearance in TV Guide recently. Joss was asked what he thought we'd all be watching on TV in the
future, and gives his insights into what that might be. Best snippet from the article: "
Approximately 67 percent of all television will be CSI-based, including CSI:
Des Moines, CSI: New York but a Different Part than Gary Sinise Is In and NCSI: SVU WKRP, which
covers every possible gruesome crime with a groovin' '70s beat.
