Buffy The Vampire Slayer There is a show that has forever transformed pop culture while converting some of its stars into household names. The show effectively created a history, as evidenced by many prestigious awards it has won, including more creative art of Emmys and 10 satellite awards. One, however Buffy The episode created a history of the worst possible way: “The Puppet Show” was an episode with the lowest series of series at allAnd worse, it broke the franchise tradition by playing credits along with the final scene rather than separately.

Buffy and The Puppet Show

Normally we will do the recapitulation of the episode in question, but for Buffy Fans “The Puppet Show” is an episode that lives in Nezvamy. It is a bit of a story of bait and switch in which Buffy and SCOOBies first believe that he has to fight walking and speak a demonic puppet that sounds almost as scary as it looks. It turned out, however, that he was actually a demons hunter who was cursed to live in the doll’s body until he finished a special task. Namely hunting and killing every member of the brotherhood of seven demons.

While Buffy Fans think of “The Puppet Show” as a (slightly) smaller episode, most do not realize that it is the lowest rated one of the whole series. In this case, the “lowest rating” is not a measurement of quality, although the episode Yes have a deservingly terrible reputation. For example, Rolling Stone have included this episode as #127 in their big list of the worst Buffy stories. This does not sound so bad as you realize that there are only 144 episodes, which means that this is coming dangerously Near scratching the bottom of the barrel.

In this case, the “lowest rating” means instead of all of all Buffy The Vampire Slayer The “The Puppet Show” episodes were the one that was viewed least in originally broadcasting. According to the Nielsen evaluation, only 1.9 million households have tuned to this puppet incorrect administration when it was first broadcast. Part of the “first broadcast” is important because, as you can imagine, they are repeated again with less viewers than their first counterparts.

Buffy Fans hate “The Puppet Show” for many reasons (including bizarre conspiracy and clumsy dialogue), but it is worth noting that it has less competition for an episode with the lowest value than you think. Given that the show became more popular in the following seasons, even really bad episodes (looking at you, season 6!) There would still be millions of viewers more than average episodes. The evaluation was the lowest for the season 1, and the “The Puppet Show” had a dubious honor that she was the least wanted episode in those stormy early days.

Talk so long Buffy Fans, we are also angry that “The Puppet Show” created history in a different negative way by launching the final credits through the final scene through a split screen. It was creatively a bizarre choice that destroyed the flow of what was already a very bad episode. The network apparently agreed: after the initial broadcast, this last scene was excluded from future WB Airings, but (for better or worse) you can now watch the renewed DVD scene, streamingand TV.

Here you have it, Buffy Fans: As for the viewer, “The Puppet Show” is the worst episode of franchise. And the strange option to divide the credits on the screen meant that the already persistent episode could not land landing. Fortunately, the subsequent episodes have improved, which made this poor puppet Pablum for fans eagerly persecuted further persecution of demons and less speaking dolls.
