"A
friend [of mine] invited me to go to the Bahamas with her and I
made up this phony excuse that I had come down with the flu... there
was a totally cool episode on that night and I didn't want to miss
it even if it was worth turning down a trip to the Bahamas." - Amber
"Last Fourth of July I was outside watching the fireworks when I
realized that it was a Tuesday and Buffy was on. I ran inside screaming
"Oh my God, Buffy!" I locked myself in my room and wouldn't come
out until Buffy and Angel were over. My Mom demanded an explanation,
but calmed down when I explained. She acts the same way about Oprah."
- Spike's Soul Slayer
"Back in season 3 I had to go to the hospital to get stitches in
my finger and I freaked out on the car ride there because I was
gonna miss Buffy. I wouldn't go into the hospital until my mom called
my aunt to tape the episode. Then I got the stitches and made my
parents drive to my aunt's to get the tape." - Buffytvssmg666
"It was my birthday and we were going to Carrowinds. I remembered
Buffy was on and I had to get someone to tape it. I ran all the
way to a pay phone and realized my money was in my purse [on a rollercoaster].
I had to get down on my hands and knees to peer under the soda machine
for a quarter. The ground was so filthy I was covered in dirt but
I found a quarter and called home. When I got home I didn't even
take a shower, just ran and popped the tape in. It was worth it."
- Ellen
"It was my birthday and there had been a HUGE snowstorm but my family
and I decided to go out for our traditional birthday dinner... the
car got stuck and it was a Tuesday with a brand new ep on. I walked
all the way home with my mom and sister in sub-zero temperatures."
- Kristyn
"Once I ran out in front of all my friends digging through the garbage
because my mom threw out my buffy episode pack" - Spike_Luva
"I went on an exchange program to Costa Rica, and there was a gathering
one night that we had to go to. I blew it off and stayed at my host's
house to watch a Buffy rerun...and it was dubbed over in Spanish!!!"
- Rachael
"[I ran] 8 blocks to the closest phone, in shorts and a t-shirt
in subfreezing weather, in order to call my brother to make sure
he was taping that nights ep. He had forgot all about it so it was
all worth it.... once the feeling had returned to my fingers" -
kelt
'I once stood a girlfriend up cause I forgot to set my video to
tape Buffy that night.... needless to say the relationship was over
when I gave her that excuse (even though she did know the depth
of my obsession beforehand) oh well.... girls come and go but Buffy
is forever......" - Ash411
"[I] paid around $15 to call my friend from an airplane to tape
an episode when I realized I had forgotten to set my VCR before
leaving on a trip...." - Sleigh
"I have looked through someone else's window outside their house
to catch an ep, and it was in rerun. I was just so starved for it.
I'm so glad a cop wasn't driving by!" - yours
truly :)
"Not all that extreme, but I sent my parents to bed so I could watch
Angel. See, we're one of those abnormal one-TV households, and they
were settling back to watching some doco my Dad had taped on Aboriginal
land rights, so I couldn't even rely on the (only) VCR!" - Natrad
"Last year, I was living at my sister's. I was using the modem.
I couldn't wait to download the episodes so I did it anyway. One
morning I picked up the phone and there was a message saying that
the line is closed and the only number I could dial is the one of
my telecom agency. When I phoned they told me that the current invoice
was about $1200." - Comet
"When episode 7 of Buffy and Angel were airing last November, I
was leaving for Vegas. I kept the car waiting outside while I watched
the end of Buffy and the first few minutes of Angel to make sure
the VCR was working. I almost missed my flight". - chetta
"I rearranged the roster at my work, took a pay cut and had to agree
to fill in on three consecutive public holidays, just so I could
be home Tuesday nights. (This was back in Season 3.)" - Rachel
