Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, abbreviated BtVS, is the first show created by Joss Whedon (see also Angel and Firefly). The basic premise is that vampires, demons, witches&mdash;the occult, basically&mdash;are real, and that there is one girl in all the world chosen to fight these forces of darkness, the Slayer. She is meant to do this in the utmost secrecy, aided only by her Watcher, an older man or woman skilled in the lore of the occult. Theoretically.

In BtVS, the newly called Slayer is Buffy Summers, an ex-cheerleader. Her Watcher for the most part of the series is Rupert Giles, a middle-aged Englishman who poses as the librarian at her high school. Due to a strange set of events, Buffy's friends Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris get to know of her, er, extracurricular activities, and join with her in combating such things as apocalypses (yes, plural), nasty über-vampires, demons of all shapes and sizes, etc., etc. Gradually, other teens join them, such as Willow's first boyfriend Oz, who turns out to be a werewolf.

The show ran for seven seasons, and is extremely popular and often quoted.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is notable for featuring an in-canon incident of a canon character being Sued, in the episode "Superstar," in which Jonathan Levinson magically turns himself into a ridiculously powerful Gary Stu who upstages all of the main characters' abilities, twists the canon through Suefluence, and exerts a powerful Aura of Smooth. Jonathan turns back into his normal self after the spell ends.

Note: Adam, the villain of the arc, is both invulnerable to Jonathan's Suefluence and aware of the changes to his canon. PPC agents in this fandom are advised to beware of him and avoid contacting him, as he may or may not also be capable of noticing PPC agents. Whether he would be an ally or an enemy, were he to encounter the PPC, is unknown.
