Buffy and Angel were both shows that drew my attention to TV writers in a way that has happened on no other show before or since. (I had a little bit of that with The X-Files and new Doctor Who, but not nearly to the extent that I ever did for Buffy/Angel.) I do think a lot of that was thanks to Whedon for bringing…
