When I compare that selection to Heroes, Lost, Grimm, any 90s comedy show, Fringe and many more, I notice that they tend to dip in quality.
Buffy is a show that lives or dies by whether or not you fall in love with the characters. It's like comfort food where you turn on the TV to spend time with your best friends. There is some great story drama, but if you don't connect with the characters then there's not really any point.
