Yeah, this year is Buffy's 25th Anniversary.  I'm sure the fans will be celebrating.

[Melinda Halliwell]

This is a good representational picture of Sarah as Buffy. From what pictures I've seen Boom studios do they normally have the actor's likeness of a character drawn well.

[Tim]

You could say it's the 30th Anniversary of Buffy, if you include the 1992 movie.  But we don't talk about that

I agree. It's really well done.

They have had the actor's likeness drawn well. There was one instance it wasn't, but I suppose the more lesser characters, they don't think fans would care too much.

Exactly. 

[Tim]

And Buffy paved the way for Charmed and the other strong female shows that followed it. 

If it weren't for Buffy, none of those shows would have happened.

HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY BUFFY!

It's the 10th today. (Well on my end of the world). So it will be the 25th soon.

[Melinda Halliwell]

I'm sure they'll be celebrations from fans all over the world on this today. I except reunion interviews will occur also of course.

[Trinity]

Me too. I'm expecting to see lots of stuff with celebrations.

I'm sure the stars will do social media posts. I won't be surprised to find a reunion interview and or some of the cast doing Instagram lives to chat with fans.

[Tim]

And Social Media didn't even exist when Buffy premiered.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Former Buffy Castmates Celebrate 25th Anniversary of Show's PremiereThe supernatural drama series ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003

Sarah Michelle Gellar says it was an "honor" to play Buffy Anne Summers on the 25th anniversary of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer's premiere.

The star, 44, shared a throwback photo of herself on the set of the show on Instagram Thursday.

"25 years ago today I had the honor to introduce the world to my version of Buffy Anne Summers. It was an uphill battle," she captioned the image. "A mid season replacement, on a new network based on a movie, that was by no means a giant success."

The actress added, "But then there was you. The fans. You believed in us. You made this happen. You are the reason 25 years later we are still celebrating. So today we celebrate you as well. #wwbd."

The supernatural drama series ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003.

I'm sure more cast members will post stuff soon.

[Tim]

Like going back in time, isn't it.

[Katie]

YAY!! Love their posts. So cool.

Yes, it has taken me back to 1997. I might re-watch the two-part pilot sometime soon. But can't tonight, as have a re-watch of Charmed keeping me busy.

[Tim]

And next year will be Charmed's 25th.

[Dark Avenger]

Time flies. HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY, BUFFY.

Yes, next year is Charmed, and also the 30th anniversary of X-Files too.
