Welcome to the Watcher's Guide, a resource
dedicated to the supreme works of Joss Whedon. The resource (named after the
official and fabulous guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is an unfailing
database of information on the shows that Whedon has developed or inspired,
offering inside information on a variety of topics, including the regular and
recurring cast, complete episode guides with trivia and cast listings and
relevant information on spin-offs and comic books.
The guide follows many different shows, and
there's a possibility that we'll expand in the near future. There is a lengthy
new project coming soon which has been over a year in the making which should
excite even the purest fan.
So look around, feel at home, and immerse
yourself in Joss genius...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Last Updated: 7th
September 2007
"In every generation there is a Chosen
One, one girl in all the world, one born with the strength and skill to
hunt the vampires." Those iconic words began the legend that is Buffy
the Vampire Slayer. Resurrecting the genre-defying series from the
1992 movie, the show began in 1997 to critical acclaim under the
watchful eye of Sarah Michelle Gellar as the show's leading lady. In
2003 it ended on a high, and television history came to a suitable
conclusion. |

Angel

Seeking redemption for the sins of his
past, the vampire Angel travelled to Los Angeles in 1999, and prepared
to leave it in a place of glory in 2004. A spin-off from the incredibly
popular Buffy, Angel did what many thought was impossible
and rivalled it's parent show for the top place on the charts. Cancelled
unexpectedly, Angel in many ways surpassed Buffy with it's
thought out characters, darker tones and truly scary imagery. A true
example of a show that is too fantastic to simply fade away... |

You can't take the sky from me. When
those words were uttered during this series' memorable opening theme, no
one could have imagined what would come of the short-lived space opera
Firefly. Aired and cancelled in 2002, the show built up a huge
fanbase, rallying around to buy the show on DVD and begging producers
and Whedon for a spin-off or a revival of some kind. In 2005, Joss
managed to resurrect what was perhaps his greatest invention in a
massive big-screen movie, Serenity, and truly proved that when he
said he'd keep flying, he truly meant it. |

Buffy: The Animated Series
Last Updated: 7th
September 2007
Section Complete
Perhaps it was too good to be true. This
now defunct project was birthed from Joss' desire to revisit the world
of Buffy in animated form. Coupled with Jeph Loeb, the executive
producer of Smallville, Joss gave the go ahead for a five minute
pilot presentation and a series of character designs to go ahead. The
presentation used the voices of several of his original cast, including
Anthony Stewart Head, Alyson Hannigan and Nicholas Brendon, but as of
2005, the series, and it's premise, are no more. |
