Although the Greatest Television Show of All Time has been off the air for several years now, I find myself today missing those characters and epic storylines, not to mention the laughs. Although some very good shows have come along since then, particularly Dexter, nothing has come close to the mix of humor, romance, horror, action and great dialog like BTVS.

In years past, when times were tough and I needed some good soul healing I’d pop in my DVD box sets and spend a week or two going through all seven seasons, drinking in those old memories. I could watch all the characters I loved come to life again and the aforementioned epic storylines once more have their sweeping, emotional effect on me.

Although times have been grim in recent months it has been far too long since my last journey to Sunnydale. Maybe it’s time I booked my trip.
