Thing is my favorite shows (Stella Street, Bo Selecta, B&B) are all rather silly in one sense or another, so I guess it goes deeper: I just don't vibe with the tone. Maybe it's part of what you have in mind, but I also can't suspend my reaction to it.
I kind of like that Buffy is the common ground for my closest friends, a European Gen X couple, and my zoomer partner who's from Portland. I even pretend to bristle at being excluded but honestly it's great she can talk to them about something they all like.
