I'll chime in here. The teenage issue annoys me, too -- mostly in terms of having to suffer through painful SoCal-teenaged-type dialogue. However, if you can get past that (or at least learn to ignore it), I agree with Swatkat that Buffy is *exactly* your type, Nell. (I am, of course, more of a Faith partisan. Interestingly, though, I don't mind Buffy. It's Willow I want to suffocate with a plastic bag. Don't ask me why, as I haven't figured it out yet.)
